Movie Review: Imitation Game

Back again with an Oscar nominee and this time it’s so so GOOOD!!! I was at the edge of my seat! It is for sure one of the Best movies I watched in a while! Ah! So good!! I keep telling people to go watch it. The story on itself is very interesting and put that with Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley and you’ll get one hell of a movie!

So, to get you hooked, is the story of Alan Turing (Benedict) a super smart mathematicians who was recruited secretly by the British army with other mathematicians to decrypt the most sophisticated encryption German machine, enigma, which change its setting everyday at 12am. So basically, it’s a race against time!  

The movie is so smart and very hooking! You keep hoping they will solve the codes and you wonder how they will do it! It’s like a supper smart puzzle and you’re waiting for all the right pieces to be found! And the best thing, it’s really is a true story! It was very thrilling and they played with the plot very well! The center of the story was World War II, but flashes here and there show us more about Turing life. The other thing that made it more of a drama thriller rather than just a drama, was the scenes with the actual war happening. The movie showed us more than just the office those guys and lady (Keira) worked in.

With the plot, I was very much enjoying the smart script! Ah, I love me a good script! Smart, sharp and really represent the tone of the movie! And Benedict was amazing with his lines! I mean give the man an Oscar already! He, for me, is one of the most brilliant actors we have right now. He completely immerses himself into the character. Keira was pretty awesome too. I’m not a huge fan of most of her movies, but when she participates in something like this, she truly shines!

The movie was brilliant from all aspects! The cast was great, the scenes sequences made sense, the colors theme was so pretty and the cloths really caught my eyes! Even though they're simple, but it all fit in one picture! It all just pulled me from my seat and threw me right in the middle of the story. You know I cried a little bit too!

It’s good for those who want to watch a well-constructed movie and those who just want to go watch something fun and exciting! Go watch it! And you won’t regret it!

Movie Review: The Purge

Ok, I’m not a horror fan and this is something I keep on saying in the blog, so when The Purge was released in cinemas I said, nope, not gonna watch it. Then one day I was suppose to go write in my room when I passed by the TV and the Purge was just starting. I was like, hmm, it’s still the afternoon, you can watch this. Because I am interested in the story, but I was too scared. So, I watched it and it’s not scary and its actually entertaining and fun thrilling.

The story is that one day a year for 12 hours, all emergency services shut down (police, hospitals, etc.) and you can either hide in your home all secured or go and kill whoever you want to release the anger in you. One night that allows you to do anything you want and become as dangerous as you want to be. So, the idea is people will release all their anger and bad habits that night and live by the laws peacefully throughout the rest of the year. So in this movie we follow one household who thought it was going to be a quite secure night when things just went super crazy.

The movie was fun and I liked the idea of it. The psychological aspect of releasing all that evil you’ve been piling up all year. There is no artistic point of it and it’s not a great one of a kind horror movie. No, it’s just pure entertainment!

Ethan Hawke was pretty good in it. I really enjoyed his performance. And the rest of the cast was good as well.  I’m starting to really enjoy Lena Headey who plays Cersei in Game of Thrones.  She’s pretty awesome.

There’s not a lot of things to say about this movie, but it’s good. It’s perfect for friends’ movie night. It’s exciting. It’s not long. Just good entertainment.

Sadly I saw this movie after the second movie, The Purge Anarchy was already released and removed from the cinemas so I missed it, but I’m watching it soon. It has better rating than the first one, so let’s see!

Movie Review: Gone Girl

What to say about this movie other than its so freaking sick awesome!! Even though it was a bit long, but its one of those movies that you either love it or hate it. I LOVED it! It was so much more alive than the book (which I read, check KemzBooks Instagram for the review)

The movie is based on one of the biggest best sellers novels, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. It’s the story of Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) whose wife, Amy Elliot Dunne (Rosamund Pike) goes missing in their fifth anniversary day. As the cops investigate him and the media grill him, he becomes the main suspect for his wife’s disappearance.

The story is so much better in a movie! Even though the book was good and clear, but something was missing. I guess it’s seeing their eyes and face expressions made all the difference! The script was amazing! Smart, witty, sad, scary and funny ! It was still written by Gillian, which gave the movie the depth that the book had. The whole movie was just like the book! Exactly the same! I was wondering how they would film it, but they did an amazing job! Not a surprise here as the director is David Fincher who directed the amazing Fight Club, The Social Network and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Another thing that made me crazy about this movie is the casting! Finally!! A great cast that portrayed each character in the book perfectly! I was so shocked! I mean EVERYONE were exactly how I imagined them! Nick’s twin Go (Carrie Coon), detective Bony (Kim Dickens), Amy’s parents (David Clennon and Lisa Banes), Desi (Neil Patrick Harris), even the young policeman (Lee Norris) who keeps popping up now and then and OMG Ellen Abbott (Missi Pyle)! EVERY FREAKING ONE!!! Excuse my nerdy excitement hahaha!

Ben Affleck was brilliant! It was like the role was written for him! You choose anyone else and the movie will flop! For me Ben is a good actor, but I don’t run to the cinema to watch his movies, but he killed it in this movie! (No pun intended :p)

The one who truly shined and without her the movie won’t be a success was Rosamund and her portray of Amy! Oh, my god! Her voice just gave me goose bumps! Again, shocked!!

The whole movie is just chilling. Slow, but chilling, like being encased by blinding dark fog. It’s so good!

The version I watched in the cinema wasn’t censored! Just a tiny scene in the end, but that’s fine. Don’t take me wrong, yes the movie is full with curses and language that is not appropriate for kids, but this is not a kids’ movie. We need to see all of that to understand the relationship between Nick and Amy! So I was so happy it wasn’t censored! It would ruin the whole story!

So this movie is for people who love a good mystery and for sure for the book fans! Just beware that it is a bit long and slow, but the story is so freaking good! It’s worth it! Go watch it!

Movie Review: The Equalizer

I saw the trailer of this movie ages ago and I really wanted to watch it and so, I did! I very much enjoyed it! I love Denzel Washington and his movies are always good.

The story of Robert McCall (Denzel) who works in a store and lives a routine quite life as he goes from work to home then to a dinner in the middle of the night when he can’t sleep. There he reads a book quietly and chat to a girl, Terry (Chloë Grace Moretz) who work as a prostitute for a Russian gang. When Terry gets hurt by the gang, Robert calls on his past forgotten skills to help her out.

From the beginning the movie has its own rhythm, one that moves with Roberts mind. We feel what he feels and see what he sees. The way he struggles between his past and present and the details of his thoughts are all reflected in the way the movie was shot. I was so hooked and mesmerized. 

The movie not what you’d expect as its not a typical fast action packed movie, no, it’s more of a Drama thriller. It focuses on the psychological aspect of Roberts personality rather than big action scenes.

Denzel was as amazing as always. I love how he acts! He was so composed in the movie and mysterious, but yet you can read his emotions that flash on his face. It was just what the character needed. And Chloë! I love her. She is so beautiful and so good in her performance. I have high hopes for her, so let’s see where she takes it from here.

So, this is what I think. I did liked and enjoy it, but be aware that the movie is a bit slow. It should be shorter, but for me, I appreciate the details and the development of the character in a movie, so I felt it was good that we got to know Robert more.

The only thing that was funny was when Robert is about to hit someone he calculate the movement and time like Sherlock in the Sherlock Holmes movies. I thought that was a repetition, but its still cool.
