- DirectorAlexander PayneStarsGeorge ClooneyShailene WoodleyAmara MillerA land baron tries to reconnect with his two daughters after his wife is seriously injured in a boating accident.Overrated 8-)
- DirectorGareth EdwardsStarsScoot McNairyWhitney AbleMario Zuniga BenavidesSix years after Earth has suffered an alien invasion, a cynical journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through an infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the U.S. border.Faltou-lhe unhas para algumas coisas importantes, como os diálogos entre o casalinho e alguma profundidade na crítica social, mas fora isso uma belíssima surpresa.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Gwyneth PaltrowTerrence HowardAfter being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.Highly overrated... 8-)
- DirectorOrson WellesStarsOrson WellesJoseph CottenDorothy ComingoreFollowing the death of publishing tycoon Charles Foster Kane, reporters scramble to uncover the meaning of his final utterance: 'Rosebud.'Não é overrated 8-)
Absolutamente revolucionário para a época em que foi feito. E acabei de ler que, quando perguntaram a Welles "where he got the confidence from as a first-time director to direct a film so radically different from contemporary cinema, he responded, "[From] ignorance...sheer ignorance. There is no confidence to equal it. It's only when you know something about a profession that you are timid or careful." - DirectorShane CarruthStarsShane CarruthDavid SullivanCasey GoodenFour friends/fledgling entrepreneurs, knowing that there's something bigger and more innovative than the different error-checking devices they've built, wrestle over their new invention.Olha que bela surpresa.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsDaniel CraigRooney MaraChristopher PlummerJournalist Mikael Blomkvist is aided in his search for a woman who has been missing for 40 years by young computer hacker Lisbeth Salander.Desta vez o Fincher é só competente? Sim, talvez, mas a competência do Fincher está uma pilha de pontos acima do resto dos mortais. Ah, e é muito bom ver o Daniel Craig a fazer outra personagem que não seja o Daniel Craig :)
- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsJodie FosterKate WinsletChristoph WaltzTwo pairs of parents hold a cordial meeting after their sons are involved in a fight, though as their time together progresses, increasingly childish behavior throws the discussion into chaos.Olha, fui ver isto e até me esqueci. É um filme sem assinatura, acompanhado de overacting da Foster, mas fora isso vê-se muito bem.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsAsa ButterfieldChloë Grace MoretzChristopher LeeIn 1931 Paris, an orphan living in the walls of a train station gets wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.Este ano está tudo doido, só pode. Em Hugo a questão não é "o filme tomar o seu tempo para se deixar acontecer" (eu não tenho nada contra filmes lentos ou longos, caraças!), é uma questão do ritmo nunca bater certo com a narrativa, de estar povoado de momentos de representação constrangedores e andar cheio de tiques melodramáticos onde eles não fazem sentido. Hugo é uma belíssima história, é mesmo, mas Scorsese parece um amador a realizá-la, um caloiro da escola de cinema. E é pena.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsJeremy IrvineEmily WatsonDavid ThewlisA young farm boy enlists to serve in World War I after his beloved horse is sold to the cavalry. His hopeful journey takes him out of England and onto the front lines as the war rages on.O Spielgerg já me habituou há muito a finais melosos, piegas e insuportáveis. O que nunca me tinha feito era dar-me um filme meloso, piegas e insuportável do início ao fim. E aquilo tem 147 minutos, arre.
- DirectorTate TaylorStarsViola DavisEmma StoneOctavia SpencerAn aspiring author during the civil rights movement of the 1960s decides to write a book detailing the African American maids' point of view on the white families for which they work, and the hardships they go through on a daily basis.E pronto, hoje é o Dia da Mulher e isto é um filme de gaja(s) :)
- DirectorAbel FerraraStarsChristopher WalkenChris PennAnnabella SciorraAfter the funeral of one of their own, a criminal family decides to embark on an emotionally unnerving journey in an attempt to exact bloody revenge.Abel Ferrara segue para a lista de coisas que se descobrem em ciclos de cinema gratuitos. Seco, curto e muito bem feito.
- DirectorBertrand BonelloStarsNoémie LvovskyHafsia HerziCéline SalletteAt an elegant Parisian bordello at the dawn of the 20th century exists a cloistered world of pleasure, pain, hope, rivalries--and, most of all, slavery.Estava a ser uma espécie de carta de afectos, duro, mas ternurento, honesto e muito belo. Mas depois vieram aqueles dois minutos finais deitar cá para fora um moralismo excessivo que habitualmente me irrita. Mas recomenda-se, sim.
- DirectorAbel FerraraStarsDrea de MatteoLillo BrancatoLisa ValensA New York drug dealer is kidnapped, and his wife must try to come up with the money and drugs to free him from his abductors before Christmas.Girinho, mas pouco mais que isso.
- DirectorValérie DonzelliStarsValérie DonzelliJérémie ElkaïmCésar DesseixWhen their young son is diagnosed with a brain tumor, young parents Roméo and Juliette unite in the fight for his survival.Talvez noutro dia.
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsMia WasikowskaHenry HopperRyô KaseThe story of a terminally ill teenage girl who falls for a boy who likes to attend funerals and their encounters with the ghost of a Japanese kamikaze pilot from WWII.Maravilha.
- DirectorBrad BirdStarsTom CruiseJeremy RennerSimon PeggThe IMF is shut down when it's implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin, causing Ethan Hunt and his new team to go rogue to clear their organization's name.Cinema pipoca com algum nível. Porreiro de ver enquanto se montam móveis do Ikea.
- DirectorMiguel GomesStarsTelmo ChurroMiguel GomesHortêncílio AquinaA restless retired woman teams up with her deceased neighbor's maid to seek out a man who has a secret connection to her past life as a farm owner at the foothill of Mount Tabu in Africa.A primeira parte sofre um pouco da maldição do "cinema português com actores de teatro português" (coisa que desaparece na segunda parte porque não há diálogos), mas, fora isso, mantenho o Miguel Gomes no meu pódio particular.
- DirectorLasse HallströmStarsEwan McGregorEmily BluntAmr WakedA fisheries expert is approached by a consultant to help realize a sheik's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert and embarks on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible possible.Coiso.
- DirectorLarry CharlesStarsSacha Baron CohenAnna FarisJohn C. ReillyThe heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.Uns pontos atrás dos outros. Uns pontos à frente.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsNoomi RapaceLogan Marshall-GreenMichael FassbenderFollowing clues to the origin of mankind, a team finds a structure on a distant moon, but they soon realize they are not alone.Ok, a verdade é esta e vou partilhá-la connvosco. Eu não sou um dos que sente a falta do Ridley Scott (RS) do Alien e do Blade Runner, porque sei de fonte segura que ele nunca existiu. De facto, esses dois filmes foram realizados por Deus Nosso Senhor, e o RS era apenas o tipo com os intestinos mais a jeito quando Ele decidiu fazer os filmes. O pior é que ninguém contou isto ao pobre do RS, e depois foi vê-lo a achar-se bom realizador desastre após desastre. Ora, alguém lho devia ter dito no momento em que ele se lembrou de voltar à carga com a saga do belo monstro, mas não, manteve-se a chachada, e pronto, só podia ter dado nisto. Posto isto, fica a bela cena final do belo monstro a gritar para a câmara como, provavelmente, uma das mais constrangedoras de 2012 (digo 2012 para ser simpático). Beijinhos a todos.
- DirectorRicky GervaisMatthew RobinsonStarsRicky GervaisJennifer GarnerJonah HillA comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain.Ideia boa. Execução fraquinha.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleTom HardyAnne HathawayEight years after the Joker's reign of chaos, Batman is coerced out of exile with the assistance of the mysterious Selina Kyle in order to defend Gotham City from the vicious guerrilla terrorist Bane.Confundir épico com espalhafatoso não é difícil 8-)
- DirectorMike MillsStarsEwan McGregorChristopher PlummerMélanie LaurentA young man is rocked by two announcements from his elderly father: that he has terminal cancer and that he has a young male lover.Coisa mais bem feita, caraças.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsRobert PattinsonJuliette BinocheSarah GadonRiding across Manhattan in a stretch limo in order to get a haircut, a 28-year-old billionaire asset manager's day devolves into an odyssey with a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart.Acho que tenho de ver isto outra vez.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsMichael FassbenderKeira KnightleyViggo MortensenA look at how the intense relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud gives birth to psychoanalysis.Insosso.
- DirectorJeff NicholsStarsMichael ShannonJessica ChastainShea WhighamPlagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself.Ah, se 50% dos filmes de terror chegassem a este nível de tensão...
- DirectorLynne RamsayStarsTilda SwintonJohn C. ReillyEzra MillerKevin's mother struggles to love her strange child despite the increasingly dangerous things he says and does as he grows up. But Kevin is just getting started, and his final act will be beyond anything anyone imagined.Ouch.
