Mini-Review: More further you'll go with the story, worse it'll be. I've never expected anything good from Nicolas Cage, but I was interested this because of Jennifer Carpenter (wife of Dexter) and specially January Jones. Unfortunately girls' got not much of screen time. I was pleased with the part of January. Thin character, but nice performance.
Mini-Review: Succubus was the second independent film I've seen from Blood Ceremony Films. The previous, Rites of Blood (2004), did not succeed that much. In Succubus there was one very good actor, Pekka Oinonen. Others, specially the lead, were clearly amateurs. The story and gore of the movie were not much better, but the film worked as itself somehow nicely. Editing was good, as was cinematography. I liked some of score as well.
Mini-Review: The sci-fi idea was intrigue, but I did not find much of chemistry between leads and I'm not a big fan of Ewan McGregor. Eve Green was as shiny as always. The director then again did not handle all the situations as he should. But yes. We are prisoners of our senses. You better enjoy what you've got.
Mini-Review: Jeff_V summed quite nicely the film. Look at Me was, as it says, a selfish film shown through multiple selfish characters. Selfishness has many faces. The theme was nicely covered, then again jumps in time were not always as successful.
Mini-Review: One of those Kristen Dunst silly movie choices you're embarrassed to follow.
Mini-Review: I got the point: there was for example a tune from Fellini's Casanova and Tim Roth was kind of imitating Jerry Lewis in The Bellboy but I didn't really liked the choices they made. The stories were neither for my taste.
Mini-Review: There was some nice 3D maps but nothing that could make this movie feel any less stupid.
Mini-Review: Louise Bourgoin was nice and the script snappy, but all of that was lost in the latter half. Story counted nicely the difficulties of maternity, though I expected more the same in the end. Pio Marmaļ was not that good choice for a father. Or rather his part was not that well written.
Mini-Review: One of the bottom films Jack Black and Steve Martin's been in.
Mini-Review: An easy looking comedy turned out to be very touching, well acted, directed and written drama. Bryce Dallas Howard's part was a bit questionable but necessary for the story. Quality acting from all the leads. And yes, RaymundLi, I found the film's mood very authentic, even though it did not go much deeper into the real cancer than that.
