Cute Ways To Wave Iron Your Hair

Review: The Sarah Key

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6_o_c24wq7eJqOdDqSiy6wCMDBS_39I3w3p-QENSQ4x4TrwpLXtf3AHOT-1tQkXtap4cRN90CJXNeHgBY8WK4JtO-R_szjhzlysDx-459GTQR2kPJE3T4oznd-2O_M2CMnSuy0R5agSxm/s1600/4.png

Eternal sadness

Living with the weight of guilt, of what could have been avoided, of what should never happen, is a burden too big to cope without any problem over the years. When little Sarah, at the time of the hunt for Jews during the Vichy collaborationist government in France, trying to save the life of his younger brother will be created around it a situation of despair and anguish with the key as the main protagonist and only confidante.

Although the event occurs in 1942, the French director Gilles Paquet-Brenner, inspired by the successful novel by Tatiana de Rosnay, makes the whole story in two specific periods. On the one hand, the time when momentous events happen, and another in 2002, when the reporter Julia begins almost casually to investigate everything that happened and in particular the future of the life of Sarah. Departing

full of conventional sentimentality, and telling the story with a correction extreme and undeniable elegance, the French director brings both accounts with great success until they converge in a dynamic and firm style. Both interpretations of Sarah (Mélusine Mayance) and Julia (Kristin Scott Thomas) are so great, you can follow the story with coherence and emotion, with the necessary point of intrigue and drama that enhances the story to make the future of it in an intense moment and vibrant.
Although the film touches familiar themes on the Nazi, he does it so well structured and well coordinated completely interfere with the story is easy and makes the viewer not only a witness but a contemplative Visitors outraged and hurt by everything that happens.

Although Sarah had kept the key to save his little brother, Julia will be the key that allows you to research the life you lead after Sarah, the family that may have formed and mostly personal experience of those fateful dates.

A solemn drama, supported and protected by the success of the novel, but with their own personal traits that make it an excellent choice on the Billboard Christmas and an important opportunity to once again come to a historical period that how terrible it is eminently interesting.

Do Grandparents Go On Wedding Bulletin

Review: Stories of the golden age

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6_o_c24wq7eJqOdDqSiy6wCMDBS_39I3w3p-QENSQ4x4TrwpLXtf3AHOT-1tQkXtap4cRN90CJXNeHgBY8WK4JtO-R_szjhzlysDx-459GTQR2kPJE3T4oznd-2O_M2CMnSuy0R5agSxm/s1600/4.png

Romania legend


The review years after a dictatorial regime posed from a speech without losing the ironic position of compromise, is already a healthy exercise and rewarding not only for those who suffered, but for those who had little knowledge. The director Cristian Mungiu recognized in Cannes for his film, great film "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" is the real motor behind this exciting project that aims at key tragi-comic to make a review in superficial appearance but political and social background to a complicated and extremely dark era.

Although this film is told in the same time that "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" the tone is overtly different. If more bitter drama that enveloped all of a sublime, this time you choose to transmit the same but in a more friendly, burlesque and a level of apparent simplicity. Through five stories, five urban legends and Romanian directors with five different projects a historical moment, cultural and social momentous in European political life, and is becoming a sad reality in five amusing stories, curious and showing a look that no away from a veiled criticism of moves by land which has room humor, absurd situations and the most strict and thoughtful moral drama urban or rural. Although

the five stories were shot by five Romanian filmmakers, Mungiu's hand is evident, and very important not only in the international projection of the film, but in its narrative style and his way of proposing alternatives to a historical film and complicated many gaps.

actors are not known internationally, but we can rediscover that ruthless unscrupulous doctor from "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" Vlad Ivanov in a very different role and a new interpretive skill that enriches its history significantly.

is undoubtedly the first story, the funniest, symbolic and that leaves a melancholy remembrance of our beloved "Welcome Mr. Marshall" Berlanga teacher. A great start to what will be an entertaining ride, funny and a great historical narrative disguise though superficial.

New report of a Romanian film apart from the aforementioned previous film Mungiu, recently left us an interesting "California Dreamin" by Cristian Nemescu sadly deceased. A film that looks out slowly, quietly but with great style, professionalism and apparent seniority.
legends
When we give thought.

Menstrual Fluid Sperm

Review: Sad Ballad trumpet

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrV585w4aD7OXpLnqQF579W2DM4qcWWoruoqQOQCqKXpJCr1xVauaMj91I3tl6wOxbBkVAUy0A2tk2efm8f0eoEcE7J0JtkXAWsHo5QCKkCv2KMkl3Q8hZIW3OKsQ0zmNs-tqpupFcxWLR/s1600/2.png

All toys on the table


If anything characterizes the films of Alex de la Iglesia is perhaps his powerful attraction based postmodern bizarre devices. Excess capacity and the search for the unexpected, so sweeping, make Alex one of the most notable filmmakers nationally and internationally. Its interesting films has several features in common, and some of them, are reunited in this film, confirming a very special and inimitable stamp.
From "Dead of laughter" we have a fight between two characters (this time clowns instead of humorous), as well as "Community" can again enjoy a gallery of secondary characters essential and terribly funny black humor.

The problem is that there are other aspects that are less pleasant, because of its repetition. They always end so the limit (almost identical in this case that of "Community" or "The Day of the Beast") make us uncomfortable entering a "dejau vu" that can only work for someone who is a virgin at the viewing director's filmography. It is in this sense it is disappointing not to find alternatives that can amaze or not envision alternative paths for those who go without any complexes. Excessive end, loaded with action and excitement (sometimes sweetened) that sometimes the talent show (denied) by the director in their ability to transmit and to generate a movie, but lose effectiveness broadly based to be too recognizable.

The movie may have a stronger influence from the beginning, with some really great credits in music and in terms of image. Behind them the Civil War. This is where the movie starts limping due to the low likelihood of the historical narrative and especially the characters. The humor is mixed with the story in a way a bit strange, does not work nor the sense of the tragic or comic or dramatic, despite the efforts of secondary and Fran Perea and Fernando Guillén. The course of this "ballad" holds some interest and although he continues to irregularities in general has some appeal especially to those who have previously enjoyed with film director Alex de la Iglesia.

are certainly the two main actors, Carlos Areces sensational and especially Antonio de la Torre at all state of grace that give the best tone to the film, those who hold all the footage and boldly doing a fairly good script that seems to walk with standing too firm. Instead Bang Carolina, despite having their hands on a juicy role, fails to give sufficient consistency to catch up with his two companions.

For film lovers Alex, would be another opportunity to enjoy if you are not looking for three feet at the cat or the clown, no doubt. For those seeking a higher degree of demand can be disappointing. Overall box office triumph, but leave the bitter taste of lost opportunity, even seeming to have put all their eggs in one basket, or all the toys on the table.

What Do You Write On A Wedding Card

Review: All the songs are about me


https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5DjAYPiA_vVDi0RGsL2VLOOlVSaETyAHz2AB0aWcrebOOU3Ocyoh7BH7v5Wa1occQx_S83B_BxmbQ0vZZuWGokc0MaKUvd9cSxoi0Tp2vJeXgKK7zWhWw178Az836XEQUIRcOR-lr2xb-/s1600/3.png
The Consequences of Love

Personal relationships in general and those of couples in particular is a fairly recurrent theme in English cinema. In a way it works, and in some ways because it has done with success in most cases. The precedents are countless references almost endless. In this case we are dealing with the debut of the son of Fernando Trueba, Jonas Trueba. And for his first film, we are faced with a work certainly remarkable. Modern in outlook, and classical in its approach, but with this point of personality that allows us to differentiate the work of the author, any other work of the plenty.

A couple who just put an end to their relationship is the starting point from where the story will move through different billing parameters, with the only common point of leaving to develop characters who are shipwrecked on the threat of cyclone despair and can survive as the specter of nostalgia.

In the cinema we find so many young Trueba film and musical references, all bathed in a heady soundtrack to contemporary. It is difficult to feel the echo of the best Truffau (Jules and Jim) on many sequences in the film and recognize the undeniable debt to the English filmmaker maintains the wonderful Novelle Vague and their influences. In this way the story unfolds smoothly, in many cases with a certain target bit, and sometimes with brilliant sequences bill allows us to recognize the personality of an author with talent and take into account in the future.

Madrid will be the essential and distinctive framework in which the characters will travel emblematic streets, interesting cafes and bars with charm, giving the city an important and prominent role, and getting the best out of it and most significant. Beside her, the music acquires its corresponding importance, and songs from Christina Rosenvinge, Nacho Vegas or music Perico Compose a soundtrack Sambeat dynamic, modern and independent fit perfectly with the climate of dissatisfaction and hopelessness in which the characters move. Even the sensual "Song to fuck" Aroah, is perfectly fitted without losing an iota of agreement at any time.

The two main characters are responsable for the correct Oriol Villa ("Salvador") and a very interesting Bárbara Lennie, that if they convinced us on the uneven "The thirteen roses" in this film is the easy checks and develops character with ease and considerable success. Around these two move side which provide the subtle comedy that the film contains a fair and rewarding as highlighting the discovery of a Bergonzini Bruno simply unusual.

Trueba In Jonah is also, as we said before, an important literary influence in every way enriches the film, both in dialogue and in attitudes. We are in this sense that "Ignorance" by Milan Kundera, or "Notes from all over" by Carmen Martin Gaite acquire an important role, as well as the poetry of Pessoa Pizarnik or become prominent poetic voices in either sense.

All this makes "All the songs are about me ', far from looking like a simple generational drama of manners, a drama is concerned with substance, in many original items and a personal touch and meritorious that make a small a small flash movie that stays in memory.

Gleem Toothpaste Cheap

Review: NEDS


https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrV585w4aD7OXpLnqQF579W2DM4qcWWoruoqQOQCqKXpJCr1xVauaMj91I3tl6wOxbBkVAUy0A2tk2efm8f0eoEcE7J0JtkXAWsHo5QCKkCv2KMkl3Q8hZIW3OKsQ0zmNs-tqpupFcxWLR/s1600/2.png

Far from the masters of the genre.

is not the first time or anything, that there is a cinematic approach to the world of adolescence from a multitude of prisms. The more effective and less risky when making a movie is undoubtedly the conflicts that are created around this age, problems that occur and especially the search for an identity at a particular point has been lost or is blurred. In this sense we can speak from its more commercial with "Dangerous Minds" with Michelle Pfeiffer bold, even cruder films facing the problem from a deeper perspective, as the extraordinary "City of God."

"No educated criminals" is the basis on which this drama focuses juvenile taproot taken as the metamorphosis that occurs in almost a young mind to become pure and virginal in an adolescent delinquent studied as decisive influences the behavior of this new family foundations, cultural and social.

Actor and director Peter Mullan facing a project that it is not at all indifferent and has lived in her own skin though so probably softer. She does a lot of will, but with little success in many moments that seem fundamental. The film adds nothing to the subgenus, it enjoys relative ease and in this respect is nice, but not get the point of emotion or empathy you need to make more far-reaching runs through channels. There is one more in the strictly negative sense, but a movie that by not showing nothing new product is as pure fun to be able to compare and classify with others in the same style. All

both dramatic and emotional force is provided by the novel and non-professional actor Conor McCarron. Its concrete gesture, his ability to deal face to face to the camera without any complex, and especially his expression in apparently conventional gestures acquire a degree of realism that make it the real stronghold in which the film is held. In this sense, it is inevitable comparison with that debut of Thomas Turgoose who is also an amateur actor got an excellent job "This is England" and more later on "Somer's Town", both English Shane Meadows film with a certain similarity in the subgenus treaty, though with more success. Clearly Mullan
drinks from various sources about social film concerns, ranging from Einstein to Danny Boyle, obviously going by the Italian neorealism, and especially the real ruler of gender Ken Loach. With the latter appeared in films such as "Riff Raff" and "My Name Is Joe" (film won him the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival 98). De Loach absorbs almost everything. And some aspects are addressed with sensitivity, but others is a way too superficial. In this respect, is undoubtedly Andra Arnold, with films like "Red Road" or "Fish Tank" that has best understood the essence of this film and the one that has come to an underworld complex and intense, dark but vital.

"Neds" suffers from a deeper realism, has too many surreal moments that far to bring something interesting to ridicule the character, and still has a better approach to urban reality and the family situation so that the puzzle will be forming smoothly and without abrupt prospects of a difficult situation adaptable to the environment created.

A film that can be recommended, entertaining, but that does not rise to the level of essential and it is far from the masters of the genre.
