A mind-blowing war drama, a must-see!
12 July 2009
For some of my friends this was just a solid action movie, nothing else. I watched it yesterday and for me it was much more than just action, this movie was a deeply affecting series of shots that make truly feel the war in Iraq and make you see the sacrifice that's going on out there.

There are a few things that everyone must notice while watching the movie. There is some superb acting present throughout the whole movie, especially by Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie and I wouldn't be surprised to see one or more Oscar nominations for acting. There are also some pretty extreme editing achievements, that even I, an amateur movie-lover, could see. Cinematography and some other technical achievements are stunning as well. As far as technical part of the film goes, this movie is more than successful, it is to be expected that there will be some technical Oscar nominations as well. Writing is simple but that's the way it is and all my congratulations go to Mark Boal and Kathryn Bigelow for creating such a powerful war-drama that sticks with you even long after watching this film.

I honestly hope that the Academy members won't forget abut this phenomenal movie achievement. I recommend everyone to watch this "tool" that allows us to see what the word WAR really means.

Best regards from Slovenia

The Hangover (2009)
8/10
The Hangover - one of the best comedies in a while... classic!
12 July 2009
I watched this movie without any real hopes of seeing a great comedy, I was expecting a movie that would make me laugh in certain situations, BUT I was so very wrong. The Hangover is one of the most memorable comedies ever made.

The script is very well written, the jokes are unique, fun and the most important thing is that they aren't silly as most of the jokes in comedies nowadays are. The characters are very well created, they make you care for them and "feel them" and most of all they are funny (you must know what I'm talking about). The acting is great, there isn't any overacting and even if there is, it makes you laugh so hard that you forget all about it. I won't bother writing the storyline or any of the jokes in order to make this movie experience even better for those of you who haven't seen the movie yet, but I assure you, if nothing else, it will make you laugh.

I recommend this movie to everyone who has ever been drunk, married, bored etc., basically I would just like to say that i recommend this movie to every single person. And yes, it's that great!

Best regards from Slovenia!

Fight Club (1999)
10/10
A Brilliantly Original Masterpiece
24 July 2008
I saw this movie yesterday and I've enjoyed it so so much. It definitely fits into my top 10 movies of all time.

I won't bother writing the story because you've probably already heard it somehow. All I'm going to say is that it's nothing like any movie I've ever seen. Just prepare to enjoy and taste the brilliantness of this movie.

This is by far the best performance from Brad Pitt I've seen so far (didn't see Babel tough). He is perfect for his role and I can't think of anyone, that would be better than him. I also love Norton's performance he is for me one of the best actors alive, capable of playing anyone. Helena Bonham Carter's performance is also very good for the complex role she had. The casting was very near to perfection in this movie, it's on the level of Magnolia.

If you haven't already watched this movie, the you have to get up, walk to a video-rental store and go watch this movie. If no one else, I guarantee you that it's worth every second of watching.

Enjoy!

Not as shallow as it seems!
15 May 2008
When I first saw this movie on IMDb I taught that it is surely going to be a shallow comic-drama with a nice faced actor. It started in that way too. But when I first saw the way the movie was going I started to feel sorry for Jeff. It does get boring from time to time (that's one minus star) and as much you feel sorry for the guy he starts to annoy you (another one). The plot seems quite unique and it also is a very hard theme for a movie so the director and the writing staff did a very good job. On the other side it could be done better.

The final verdict is very positive. I must say that I have never seen Seann Williiam Scott in a similar role and he has proved that he is a very good actor he is definitely one of the pros of this movie. This movie gives you something to think about. I strongly recommend you watch it!
