Movie Review: Jane Eyre (2011)

Jane Eyre, the sensible orphan girl who lived in the fine household of her uncle, found herself in a dull boarding school after her aunt has casted her off. Within the harshness and gloominess of the school, Jane Eyre (Mia Wasikowska) has moved from childhood into adulthood, learning to take refuge within herself and to live in solitude.

Working as a governess in Thornfield Hall, she meets the arrogant mysterious master Edward Rochester (Michael Fassbender) who takes interest in her. Noticing Mr. Rochester’s understating of her soul, aware of her feelings, Jane Eyre, tries to open to life and dream of hope. When the lovers are eventually to unite, Mr. Rochester’s mysterious secret is revealed.

Devastated, Jane Eyre runs away, lost, empty at hand and soul. After time passed, Jane listens to her heart and goes back to her lover, where yet finds another surprise.

 I happened to see the movie before reading the book, yet I loved it, I felt it. It has touched me and left a trace in my soul. I haven’t watched the previous version but I think Mia Wasikowska has played the role perfectly, all the desperate motionless expressions, the timid attitude, and Michael Fassbender, he is literally charming! It shows in his action that he loves Jane yet involuntary ignores her, his eyes speak out, his voice tone, the pleading in his eyes. A great amount of emotions were exchanged between the lovers, through their conversation, the momentum actions, and all the restless act of pride and prejudices. Yet my heart was solely broken at the end; it arises a question: when to take the correct decision, what is the correct decision, what to sacrifice, when is it too late?

The gothic gloomy forests, Jane’s dull Victorian dresses, her direct gazes, scarce expressions, all reflects how rigid her life is, and the amazing soundtrack by Dario Marianelli (Anna Karenina, Pride & Prejudice) all carries us into Jane’s soul. Personally, the soundtrack has touched me so much where it reflected the solitude in Jane Eyre’s soul. The slowness of the notes reflecting the captive Jane Eyre as she walks through her unknown destiny, the truthful feelings, the house, the furniture, Thornfield Hall, it all charmed me, I literally lived Jane Eyre’s story within the movie’s two hours!  I couldn’t stop crying.

The richness of literature in their conversation, the charm of the music, the passion, sense, and more is all in the remake of Jane Eyre based on the novel by Charlotte Brontë, directed by Cary Fukunaga. If you are fond of classic, literature, and wealth of feelings, then this is just for you. A captivate movie which touches any soul acquainted with love. If you liked Pride & Prejudice and Mr. Darcy, then you will definitely love Jane Eyre.

Movie Review: R.I.P.D

My biggest disappointment of this summer!!! Why Robert Schwentke?? Why!!!! You did Red, which is fun and The Time Traveler’s Wife which I loved!! What happened????

It was so boring, my sister actually fell asleep and my friend was texting throughout the film and I actually turned and said, let’s leave this!

It was so boring!!! The story is about a police officer who died and joined the Rest In Peace Department who captured the souls who escaped hell. The film is badly written. You can barely understand what’s happening and it is such a bad, very bad rip off of Men in Black! Same story line, but worse. A LOT worse! Oh, it's based on a Comic. Still, it wasn't any good.

Look, I love Ryan Reynolds, but I think his best is in Romantic Comedies. Not this or at least choose a movie with better script! Jeff Bridges, I have no words to describe what I’m thinking. So disappointed.

Such a fail! This is what happens when I trust a trailer!!!

Let’s hope what I watch next will be better.

Movie Review: The Mummy - The Mummy Returns

AND I LOVE IT!!  My ultimate favorite movies is The Mummy and The Mummy Returns (1999&2001). I mean I LOVE these two movies. They have it all; great story, awesome cute handsome cast (who can actually act!! hehehe) and the thing I look for the most in movies: MAGIC!!!

I mean everything in the movie just scream with ancientness and enchantments. The use of the ancient history of Egypt in this movie is so captivating. After 3000 years, the Egyptian curses still amaze and wow us.

I'm a history geek! I love the ancient civilization; Greece, Rome, Babylon and the most mysterious Ancient Egypt.

The movie has well done visual effects and the music is just aaah, brilliant!! I mean the melodies hook us and fill you up with all this ancient and captivating emotions.

I love also the Romance in the movie, it adds to the beauty of the movie. I mean talk about true love and fairy tales.

O_O << this is how I will look at you if I found out that you have never seen these movies!! SEE THEM!!! They're AMAZING. A song I love, click here!

Movie Review: From Time to Time

As I finally got the time to relax and watch some of my new DVDs, I saw one I bought couple of weeks ago. I know we're not supposed to judge the book by its cover, but who are we kidding?? We always do that! Anyhow, the movie is "From Time to Time".

The movie sets its events in 1944, in the end of World War II, when a British young boy moves to live with his grandmother. His heart is full with worry about his missing father, but his mind is busy with figuring the secrets of the house.

The movie is sweet and it’s a nice bedtime movie; not a lot of action and not much of a romance, but still nice and interesting. It's a movie to see when you're just relaxing.

I got the movie as a DVD and I'm glad it wasn't released on theater, I wouldn't like it much. Not a good movie to see with friends or when you want to see something blow up.

Not much to say about it.

Movie Review: Transformers 3

Finally I had the time to go to the movies!! It's like I'm alive again <3!!!

When I was in Transformers 3, I was a little bored at first, but then I was blown away!!! So when you are in the theater don't leave your seat and just wait! The movie last two hours and a half, but it's good, if they rushed the story it'll feel weird. The battle scenes  in the end are amazing. The whole visual effects are sooo cool!! The last half hour was worth it!! I cried couple of times. I even wanted to hug Optimus Prime, hehehe.  

The Autobots are so amazing! I love Optimus Prime; his voice is so majestic and all of them stand for freedom and loyalty, something that people really need to learn. The Autobots have this old warriors' air in them. Can they be turned to people, please ;p?

Also, what I liked about the movie is some unexpected turn outs. It so beats the second one, but the first one is the best without a doubt.  

When I read on IMDB about Shia LaBeouf leaving the movie, I felt sad, but now as I saw him in the third part I saw the need for a new story and new characters. He wasn't funny anymore. The Autobots and the Decepticons are timeless characters who will always be loved by us, but the plot needs something or rather someone new.
