SIT BACK & RELAX

I like a good movie now and then, the only problem I always have is: what should I watch? I dont discriminate between bad romcoms or weird artistic movies, frankly I just watch everything. That doesnt mean I like everything though. So I thought, why not pick a few movies I DID like and share them with you. Sound good? All right, here we go:I watched this in between 2 exams last month (some people do yoga or read books to clear their heads, I watch movies.) and I think it actually is a perfect movie for that. It doesnt have a mindblowing plot or anything, its just a peek into a recently graduated girls life. You might recognise Lena Dunham if you watch the series Girls. Funny story though, turns out mother & sister in the movie are her actual mom & sis. You kind of get that the mother & sister are related because, well, one just looks like a younger version of the other, and Lenas way of saying "Hi Mommyyy" and hugging her kind of gave it away as well. Imagine making a movie with your mom & sis, I mean, thats pretty cool. This movie really surprised me, I mean, I liked it a LOT. The storys perfect (adapted from the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret), the filmings absolutely perfect, the musics perfect,... And this may be a weird thing to say but Im strangely attracted to the colour palette (notice how everythings the same kind of colours).One thing though, please please please watch this in a good quality (if you dont see the dust particles flying around, it is not good quality), so much effort is put in all these little details so dont ruin your viewing pleasure by watching a crappy movie theater camera recording (and that actually applies to ALL movies, if you watch those: SHAME ON YOU).And another movie adapted from a book, this time its Jonathan Safran Foers Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I havent read the book yet, but if the books as good as the movie Im in for a treat. Again, this ones beautifully filmed, the images are absolutely stunning (can you tell Im kind of a visual person?). Its a story built around the 9/11 tragedy but in a very different way. Hats off, seriously. I can be very short on this one: if you like Woody Allen movies, watch it. If you dont, leave it. Im not Woody Allens biggest fan (dont hate me), I find some of his movies kind of "meh" (Midnight in Paris), others very entertaining (Manhattan Murder Mystery), but I guess Ill need to see more of his movies to make up my mind on him. This movies got a few different story lines - one of which features Anthony Hopkins in a midlife crisis, which is kind of hilarious. This ones kind of interesting. The movie is filmed in a real-life time frame (ugh, dont know how to say this, I mean that if the movies 1:30 hrs long, exactly 1:30 hrs has passed in the movies timeline). I can only compare it to ONE movie, a 1957 one at that, 12 Angry Men (which you should also watch, because its a great movie) which is VERY similar to this one. Well I guess youll have to see it to understand what Im trying to say here, but trust me on this one.Most of these images were taken from the website aceshowbiz.com
