Cuore (2001)
an ultimate family treat
"Cuore", which is an Italian word for "heart" is a mini-series in Italy that its title says it all. It's pretty obvious that kids could watch this because it was aired on TV, but don't even bother about it. The series is just safe for younger viewers, but this still needs a parental guidance.
The story is about a new teacher named Guilio who came to Torrino to teach a bunch of young mischievous boys-- in a different way. This angers the conservative strict principal, but the boys (and his colleague friend, Margarita) like him. In the end, the boys learn about bravery, honesty, kindness and other good-doings from the stories Giulio narrated. From the bad things that happened in the school, it turns out to be good. (Oh by the way, Guilio and Margarita were already married in the end.)
I really like this one. The obviously family-oriented series however, is too long for an episode to run. Each episode runs for 1 hour and 40 minutes which gave me an impression that it's a bad movie. Too bad I missed the second episode.
Anyway, I voted 8 over 10.
Ali G Indahouse (2002)
really really bad
I had already heard of Ali G in Madonna's music video "Music". I always think he's funny. (In fact, he really is.) Just last year I always thought of buying a VCD of "Ali G Indahouse". That's why some months later, I bought it cheap and I started watching it.
But the movie surprised me. My older brother and I were expecting it to be a great laugh-out comedy. It turns out that "Indahouse" is just a stupid piece of garbage. It was really really bad. It also contains explicit sexuality content and very crude humor. It also didn't made me laugh, even just a big smile. We definitely hate that movie. Oh by the way, I have plans to sell it.
Ali G was really different in his movie compared to his TV shows-- in such a negative way. Maybe he wasn't really well-focused and enough serious to make this flick. Just because there's some sex scenes in it doesn't mean it's freaking hilarious (because sometimes, too much isn't that laughable anymore). For the first time ever, I was disappointed at him. That really made me sad rather and happy.
I gave this movie 1 over 10. Actually, I really want to give it a 0 rating. It's one of the worst movies I've seen in my entire life. I wouldn't recommend to anyone who wanna watch good comedies that aren't too explicit or horrible.
