Film Review > In Bruges

This morning I begun watching the film In Bruges on my iPhone and just finished it tonight.

The verdict: Other than the screen is a bit small, I don’t ever wanna see Collin Farrell in an American movie anymore. He’s an incredible actor, but he needs to stay close to his roots: Irish.

The movie is so well written, and the dialogues between the actors so good that I watched almost all the dialogue scenes twice!

In Bruges is the story of two hitmen that after a difficult job are hold in Bruges (Belgium). In this most well-preserved medieval city, they begin to differ on their views of life and death as they become used to local customs.

I don’t want to say more as it may spoil the movie if you decide to see it. You just need to understand that it is not an action movie, but more a comedy-drama with some action scenes. You are certainly not watching it for the action, but for the actor plays, the dialogues and the scenario where everything it just tied up perfectly. This movie is a little gem.

My Rating: 4/5

Film Review > Pineapple Express

According to Wikipedia, Pineapple Express is a meteorological phenomenon which is characterized by a strong and persistent flow of atmospheric moisture and heavy rainfall.

According to me, Pineapple Express is a Seth Rogen-James Franco duo phenomenon which is characterized by a strong and persistent flow of laughs and heavy abdominal cramps.

I went to see the movie yesterday with a good friend of mine. We had no real expectations and it’s probably why we had a good time. The film is written by Seth Rogen himself and Evan GoldBerg (Superbad).

In short, it’s the story of a stoner (Rogen) and his dealer (Franco) who are forced to go on the run from the police after the pothead witnesses a cop commit a murder.

Many have said that you have to be a stoner to appreciate this movie… We are both not and we appreciate every minute of the stone conversations they got. It’s certainly not a thinking movie, it’s an ordinary man action comedy. If you’re up for a good laugh and a fun romp, don’t miss it.

My Rating: 3.5/5
