Jack Ryan (2018)
3rd series is really bad
OMG! I come from Prague and I love character of Jack Ryan. I like all movies and I also like second series of this TV show.
The first one was also quite good, but the third one? Oh, no. It´s full of clichés, everything is unreal, bad action, no humor. John Krasinski was also bad in this. What was wrong? I was really looking for, but this is huge disappointment. Action was strange, many scenes were in dark, colors were strange. I was quite surprised, that some scenes were shooted in Prague Castle, which was really interesting. On the other hand something look very cheap.
The ending was like bad remake of The Hunt of Red Octobre. Please, stop with this. It´s really not good.
Passion (2012)
Great form, amazing actors and return to roots
Brian De Palma is one of my favorite director. I like his movies from 80 's, especially his tributes to Alfred Hitchcock - Dressed To Kill and Body Double and Passion is from this rank. Of course, that his movies are more about form than plot, but after three decades we can say, that he is a master of form and he is also highly entertaining. And Passion is victory of form...again, and it is also full of very clever humor. This movie has great actors, astonishing visual style, great music, surprising twists and of course there is a lot of perversion. For me is this movie very entertaining and I really enjoy watching and listening:-)
Hodinu nevis (2009)
Very good Czech thriller
The filmmakers in my country are usually not good in telling crime stories. As far as I know we had last 20 years only 2 good thrillers - Sametovi vrazi (directed by Jiri Svoboda), about series of homicides and Requiem pro panenku (directed by Filip Renc) about true story about terrible consequences in the asylum with mentally retarded people. Hodinu nevis (You don't know hour - in the meaning - you can't be sure with time of your death).
The story is about young man who works in the hospital somewhere in the Czech Republic as an ambulance attendant. Once upon a time he tried to be a doctor, but he wasn't accepted. But now he works in the same hospital like doctor from his commission. One time is asked by his old sick patient for the big favour...death.
The story is based on true events, but the creators must change many things, because of lawyers real participants. Eventually they make them really good service. The movie is about real relations in Czech health service and about good and evil in general.
The director Svatek is very interesting young Czech filmmaker and the cast in the movie is really amazing. I am sure, that this movie can works in the abroad and I wish you to see it, but be sure...this movie is really scary, in the best meaning of this word.
Drag Me to Hell (2009)
Back to Roots
I'm a big fan of Sam Raimi's movies. I think, that Evil Dead trilogy is one of the best horror series ever and I was really looking for master's return to his roots.
From the very beginning of the movie I was sitting in the chair and smiling. Opening credits were amazing and I was looking for the plot and horror situation. Sam Raimi is now the best horror director, I like his angles of cameras, close ups, fast editing and his typical original stuff with hidden evil.
Of course, he didn't forget for black humor. The actors were great, music was excellent and there were so many scary moments. I really appreciated, that it was an original new movie and not remake.
In the end of movie, I was laughing with my friend, because the devil speaks Czech:-)
I love this movie and I'm glad, that I saw it in cinema, because this movie was created for big screen with great sound.
WALL·E (2008)
Really bad...
This movie is so big disappointment...I really enjoy Finding Nemo, but Wall-E? This movie is definitely one big cliché. Wall-E looks like Number Five from John Badham movie Short Circuit, even the jokes are the same. And where is humor? Where is the story? Where is good action? I think, that big problem was with Eve, why she everything destroy? Wall-E looks like art movie, but in the worst meaning of this words. I really admire technology and work of animators from Pixar, but it's not enough for good movie. Last movies from Pixar Ratatouille and Wall-E are not for children and when someone make movies for children it's something wrong. Sorry, guys.
