White on Rice (2009)
Very interesting, very honest and very moving..
A remarkable movie about yet another piece of the American mosaic yet it really reminds the viewer of himself and the people in his life.
"White on Rice" strikes a perfect balance between the interesting and attracting side of cinema and the honest and realistic one.
Clean and esthetically made comedy that captures the simple thrills of ordinary peoples lives.
Light and fun to watch but also makes you think afterward.
It's these combinations that make this movie so worth watching, the current low score it has is unjustified.
If you're open minded and unaffected by stereotypes you will really enjoy this movie. Warmly recommended, Eitan
Four Lions (2010)
Like spotting a hammer, right as it smacks you a dull hit in the face.
Amazingly this movie has managed to dig out one of the few subjects untouched by modern film making and chop down the wings of its own success right before taking off.
Any viewer, fully aware of the levels of complexity such ideologies have, knows how hard it must be to display British Muslim perspectives wholly and somewhat realistically. But this movie has managed to be insulting and over generalizing towards both British-muslims and Christian britons, alike.
It reminds me of an expression once applied to our very own FM Mr. Lieberman, "..an elephant in a china store".
Rude, vulgar and over simplistic this movie has done nothing to brighten things up, let alone squeeze a laugh out or splash some water on an already fiery subject.
I'm going to have to give this movie a pure 3 pts, out of 10, if only because of the excellent acting and the new angle in which we look at our very own problems.
