Can Hitting My Face Cause Petechiae

Shooter

This film commenced drawing evil even before you begin: the poster shows a man well-gym a rifle that would shoot down an airliner. The gaze is directed pissed horizon. The beginning is not very good and the plot seems to have written from the first minutes: the lieutenant-shooter-decorated-Swagger chosen after a mission "-not-exist" in a state in which "not-be-had" gone to hell, he left the monastic life in the mountains, the government called him back to action when they found the draft of an attack on the President. Now seems clear, the synopsis seems to develop towards the clash against superbuono villain, because the attack seems to be prepared by a sniper as crafty and decided to Swagger.

Instead, the plot twist: Swagger finds himself the scapegoat in a plot to kill a prominent character in conversation with the president on the day of the attack.

The lieutenant is then forced to fight alone against everything and everyone in the movement to exonerate and rehabilitate his name, helped in this by two government agents ( and Michael Peña Rhona Mitra ) which, in true American style, giving first place to the truth and are willing to disobey their superiors to defend it.

Mark Wahlberg plays the part of the soldier with a brush blameless, hard-hearted and ultra-professional, raising the thickness of the characters in the film, actually not too high. Particularly affect negatively stereotyped and predictable too bad and obscene use of computer graphics cheap in some scenes. Credit where credit to the director not to be out of date (excessively) in empty patriotism and sickly sentences (the last of Transformers Michael Bay it is a good example), always keeping an eye moderately critical of the tax authorities and the dark plots hatched by it.

Good plot that is not trivialized by taking roads too discounted, dignified, directed by Antoine Fuqua (superb, but overrated, in Training Day) and Mark Wahlberg for best drama, depth and stage presence.

A film that does not pretend to change the world of film, but succeeds in the difficult task of avoiding a night of yawns in front of the TV, surprising us with some double / triple-play, delighting you with scenes and creating well-designed shooter some waiting for the final missing in many productions the same kind.

Stomach Flu Vancouver November 2010

Here comes the Fuzz!

After Shaun of the Dead (The Night of the Dead), the duo Wright - Pegg produces another milestone of film parodies. A feature quite uneven and visionary who is allowed the luxury of undermining the positions of Ep.V Star Wars, Casablanca, Schindler's List, in authoritative ranking Imdb.com. In this production site American English even more than Gone With the Wind and is proposed as one of the finest comedies of all time. A rich blowout of quotations (more than 50 different movies) and a photograph maniacal make a movie for connoisseurs, to be eaten cold, after a freshen up with Shaun of the Dead and a few episodes of Spaced, the TV series that has dug out the ratings on the BBC in 2000, opening the doors to the two authors of the budget needed for the big screen. From the beginning the refined English humor is king and the wise direction distributes endless quotes with an attention to detail that is unbelievable, all seasoned with plenty of splatter in the unmistakable style of Edgar Wright. The final half-hour begins with the discovery of the improbable plot that ties the series of killings that marred the peaceful village of Sandford, then set the tone for an endless sequence-style action movie: any kind of fee is desecrated, creating a mixture of laughter and excitement. An unmissable film that once again confirms the ability of the authors in jest, never taken seriously, the pillar of any Hollywood box office. A film with noble ancestors, a success all over the world (more than 80mln dollars earned) that will go in Italy on August 24 (?) For a short-sighted commercial policy of the beautiful country that rewards whatever remains in the canons of stale film "successful" Italian "(tits and ass at the" Holiday nonsodove "loaf of love are always the same for 100 years, itchy tragedies of youth drawn from Harmony Moccia).
