81. Habana Blues (2005 ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Benito Zambrano) first viewing 7/10 The Music really pulls the movie trough. They made a rather poor decission to make a movie about Cuban music combined with so much drama. Make a movie about the music scene in Cuba while showing Cuba, or make a drama movie while showing Cuba. But don't make a combination of music movie and drama while not showing Cuba. Another thing I didn't really like was that they were on about 'pure' art, not selling out etc., yet the movie itself relies on a lot of sentiment and plot trics to keep it for an audience as wide as possible; don't criticise other forms of art while you're doing the same thing in your own art form. The music was really, really great though. All cuban and it goes from Cuban hip hop to Cuban metal, and it sounded all great. Thanks to the music I'm still giving this a 7/10. 82. Jumanji (1995 ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Joe Johnston) second viewing 6.5 Seen this before of course, youth sentiment. But it's always nice to see ayoung Kirsten Dunst dressed in silly clothes with silly tails in her hair running after Robin Williams. Fits perfectly in the category of movies like "Hook" and the like. 6.5/10 83. Above the Law (1988 ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Andrew Davies) second viewing 6/10 Seen this before as well, but I felt like seeing it again. First movie starring action hero Steven Seagal. It's succeeds in doing what it's made for but doesn't do anything more. 6/10 84. Annie Hall (1977 ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Woody Allen) second viewing 9/10 It's so modern, considering this is form '77. It uses so much great and smart tricks to add to the humor, it's so clever. With references to the greatest directors in the history of cinema. The humor is so mart and, dang, I couldn't get enough of this movie, it kept surprising me. Another great 'intellectual' comedy by Woody Allen. And forgive, I need to do the thing that I despise. Quote lines from a movie. Alvy Singer: What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards. Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler. Alvy Singer: I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light Alvy Singer: A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark. Duane: Can I confess something? I tell you this as an artist,I think you'll understand. Sometimes when I'm driving... on the road at night... I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The... flames rising out of the flowing gasoline. Alvy Singer: Right. Well, I have to - I have to go now, Duane, because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth. A MUST SEE! 9/10 85. The Straight Story (1999 ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ David Lynch) first viewing 7.5/10 A film that on first sight is totaly different to Lynch's other works. It's simple and for a wide public. But when you look closer you can see a lot of his style in it. It's a calm and modest story, filmed in a calm way, but at moments not so modest. At some points the shots are almost epic and too mechanic, which doesn't really fits in the movie, but it's not really annoying either. Well timed music. Sometimes it's a bit corney, but I couldn't help it. I liked it. But no masterpiece. 7.5/10 [edit] I knew I forgot something. 86. Masterclass (2005 - Hans Teeuwen) 6.5/10 A Dutch movie by a Dutch comedian, this is his first work as a director. It's about Peer Mascini, a Dutch 'actor' who used to give masterclasses to starting and already working actors. His masterclasses are so special, they have a lot of influence on the way you think of acting, it can even make you stop acting, it really turns the meaning of acting inside-out. His last masterclass made a student commit suicide so he stopped giving the masterclasses. Now a former student of him arranged one final masterclass to six students of the acting acadamy of Eindhoven (a big Dutch city). At first they made a short video of of famous Dutch actors and actresses who took his masterclass in the past, they all said how much influence it had on them, and how horrible the experience was of taking his masterclass. They show that to the students and to us. Later we get to see how the students take the masterclass. The thing is, the whole thing about his masterclasses are made up, and the students don't know that. They honestly believe all the things he say, think he's brilliant and so. Peer makes them tell very personal things like what emotion is according to them, and acts so mysteriously and vague that they aren't certain of what to say, they don't understand a word of what he's saying, yet they're coÃÆÃâÃâörperating because they think he's such a genious (that's what all the famous people told them). All kind of weird things happen during the masterclass (Peer even runs out of the class in his underpants). The film really reminded me of Passolini's last movie "SalÃÆÃâÃâò", but without the raping, poop eating and other things. I thought it was a really mean 'joke' towards the actors. But the concept on itself is pretty interesting. The film is pretty short and filmed in documantary style. 6.5/10
