Jesus, this was directed by the director who directed that awful film "Mamma Mia!". I've heard those kinds of voices before. But unlike them, I actually liked "Mamma Mia!". Of course, mainly because I like the songs of ABBA and I'm glad they suit modern arrangement as well. But the film was also interesting because of the performances - Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried, Stellan Skarsgård, and maybe even Pierce Brosnan. They are capable of giving a good performance and I liked that about them. Meryl Streep returned to the director and deserved an Oscar thanks to her role as Margaret Thatcher. Completely deserved. The film stands and falls with her performance. The other actors support her well, especially Jim Broadbent, who played an old grumpy man, and it suits him. He can evoke the right emotions. And it's mainly the emotions that the director attacks. It's true that without Meryl and great makeup artists (by the way, they also won an Oscar), the film might have been forgettable, but like this, it deserves attention. And for those unfamiliar with history, they will learn something about how important the Iron Lady was for her country. Don't expect a historical film, but a story about a woman who meant well, but ended up with everything on her. Maybe a bit too emotional, but it just works for me. When there's a good actor, they can occasionally divert your attention from an average screenplay. And no, I really don't mind watching old people in a film.

I am a stubborn defender of Adam Sandler and I like his movies. Recently, I was interested in "Machos", but also "Funny People". Maybe it was because he softened a bit. But thanks to Jill, he was able to return to his pose, which is annoying for some people. And in this case, it was. Sandler as Jack is fine. He maintains his standard and is also funny. Sandler as Jill is unbearable. He has a terrible voice that is really annoying, and besides, the character itself is worthy of hatred. Sandler probably decided to do what Eddie Murphy did: ruin his career in movies where he plays all the roles. I hope he will recover because I still believe in him, but with another similar movie, he will only kill his promising career, which is already dead to many. By the way, did you notice that Katie Holmes was in the movie? I hardly noticed. Al Pacino is a great actor, and it's nice that he can make fun of himself. But the final scene would have been enough for that. The presence of Johnny Depp was pleasing. When he appeared on the screen, the movie's rating immediately went up by 50%.

I know, I'm not stating any news here, but I just haven't seen all the movies right when they were released. I like Clint Eastwood. Recently, I watched his "Gran Torino" and my jaw dropped. When I was watching "Flags of Our Fathers," my jaw dropped again. This time because of how much the battle scenes resemble those in Steven Spielberg's film "Saving Private Ryan." I wanted to tear apart Eastwood's film, but then I realized I'm not even halfway through yet. You shouldn't give up on Clint too early, because what he lacks in originality in the war scenes, he truly makes up for with the human aspect of the story. And that's the most important thing about "Flags of Our Fathers." Humanity, or maybe inhumanity, the moments when a person becomes a hero without deserving it, and when they face a fall that they might not deserve either. An excellent human story that touched me. If you have Clint in your mind as a patriot, I think here he will show you that he is quite a realist. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/03/diar-milovnika-filmu-c-0001-cista-duse.html

What can I say. I simply do not like Russell Crowe and I avoid movies with him. But when you are at your girlfriend's parents' house, you can't choose the movies. And it happened to be "A Beautiful Mind". Hoping that Crowe and Ridley Scott did not collaborate on this one, as their combination is truly deadly for me, I hoped that the movie wouldn't be so bad. And it wasn't. Even though I have seen many movies lately where everything is a little different, this film simply got to me. Crowe is incredible and I can't understand how he could have won an Oscar for "Gladiator" but not for this. I can really recommend this film to anyone interested in game theory and decision making. It is presented in a way that everyone can understand and it is also an acting masterpiece. Until the end, the viewer who is unfamiliar with Nash's life is not sure what is actually going on with him. My opinion of Crowe hasn't changed, but he convinced me at least that he can act.
