Recording On Xbox With Out Capture Card

4 Mini Reviews

It is a bit 'that I do not write ... and, just to revolutionize content (sarcasm), I write four mini-reviews. Before this post I had told someone that I wrote a long and detailed reviews of "Come Away With Me," but then I decided not to do it, do not have enough instruments to have an opinion on the cultural transmission that actually worth something.
I will just say that I liked the drive, although I found it too smooth and verging on pathetic in some parts.
And now off with the reviews of the four movies I've seen over the past two days.

1) The Social Network
He talked a lot about this film, which tells the story in a fictional creation of Facebook and of course its brilliant creator. The film has a setting for a thriller, does not analyze the value of Facebook in the world of communication (and an analysis of the merits), but merely to show the relationships and the company's tripping over his creation. Elegant in the pictures, photography and interpretation (Justin Timberlake, stop singing and continues to play) but I found it a bit 'chilly. Fincher is a great director and this film is definitely in competition for the Oscars, but I did not find exceptional as it is spoken.

2) SFW-So Fucking What
This little-film was recommended to me by my friend Daniel, whom I thank.
story is a bit 'long and I could not give the idea. In essence it is a fierce critique of the capacity media to create and destroy myths. Too bad the film's premise is not credible and absurdly far unexplained, and that it is easy to confuse the true meaning of the film with the message of non-main character (it took me a while 'to understand this thing, I must admit). But all in all a good movie with a wonderful soundtrack almost entirely grunge.

3) Nikita
The film is famous, but it's one of my shortcomings to which I have remedied. Nikita was done by an American remake, a TV series and a remake of the series aired on the CW hours, and I only saw it, I must say with pleasure (apart from photography, but it's the CW, you know). The film is very different from the TV series, but apparently the mythology has changed in the various remakes (which is understandable). The movie has a plot more linear and simple, and in mid-film, I accepted it (when I realized that there was no time to develop the story I knew it was obvious that was different). Besson is a French only anagrafe, and like all his work this is a product in pure American style, in which a former drug addict is transformed into a secret agent for the government. Simple it may be, the movie I fell miserably in the end, when introduced by the incomprehensible character of Jean Reno, in which the protagonist develops a deep relationship to speed record, going to a final film really makes little sense in context. I much prefer the new version ...

4) Cops Out Here
the real sore point. I LOVE Kevin Smith, I've seen everything he has published, including long academic conferences, and I loved everything, and defend his work always and everywhere, while large part of the criticism continues to snub. But this is NO. NO. And again NO. After saying for years that they were much more a writer than a director (and his film it is evident) and that would not be able to shoot an action movie, comes out with this, not just an action movie written by him. But the I gave the benefit of the doubt. It did not deserve it. I understand that you love him and that Bruce Willis would do everything to work together (who would not, sign up ...), but to turn a piece of shit like this is unbelievable. The co-star Tracy Morgan, actor extraordinarily funny in 30 Rock, here is a disarmingly banal. The script seems written by a computer program: the input you put in tons of cliches, all the buddy cop films of the last twenty years, a bit 'of random quotes and what comes out is this. Seeing the film we see situations already seen a thousand times, felt the same dialogues, peppered with humor pathetic, almost cinepanettoni (the discourse on the thief who steals shit in the house where made me want to turn off all ...). Rejected without a chance to reply ... I have all of Kevin Smith on DVD, this does not even keep it in divx. The only positive note, Michelle Dawn Trachtenberg, in the part of the daughter of Willis and Rashida Jones in the wife of Morgan. And not because they are good, but just because they are a great dumplings.
