Documentary simple but oh so revealing about the human species, “The Force of Nature: The David Suzuki Movie” reveals the social and personal issues that guide this iconic Canadian. A true portrait in the best sense of the word. David Suzuki does not need presentation. This is one of the scientists and environmentalists the most [...]
The popular novels by Kathryn Lasky films come to life in a brilliant way through Zack Snyder (Watchmen). As pretty intelligent, “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” surely captivate anyone interested in complex stories told simply. Soren (voice of Jim Sturgess) and his older brother Kludde (Ryan Kwanten) were kidnapped and their captors [...]
A teen comedy that is both bubbly, intelligent and hilarious? Yep, it still exists and it’s called “Easy A” seduces with its humor and its charming characters. Nothing to mark the annals of the genre, but an extremely nice result regardless of age (or almost). Once a rumor is started, it is difficult to stop. [...]
Oliver Stone tackles the new capitalism in “Wall Street : Money Never Sleeps” where he confronts a market economy with the need to have a family. Not as interesting as the original, but a big gulp entertainment that leaves with a knowing smile. Gekko (Michael Douglas) has paid his debt to society and he comes [...]
Human beings can change. This emerges from “You Again”, a comedy disreputable and laborious lacking both nerves and rhythm. Marriage is supposed to be the happiest moment of a lifetime. But we must pay attention to his family that can spoil the party anytime. In fact the sister of Will (James Wolk), Marni (Kristen Bell), [...]
Fake documentary about the supposed retirement of Joaquin Phoenix, “I’m Still Here” has sunk a lot of ink, handling more than one audience. All this for that? Yep! People will remember the amazing performance of the actor and they forget everything else. In 2008, Joaquin Phoenix announced his retirement from film to go into music. [...]
To mark the start of school, animation films are the assault of the screens. Even if the first at the finish line, “Alpha and Omega” does not leave any lasting impression, and it turns very pale beside the small wonders of Pixar and Dreamworks. Social classes are not only present in humans, but also within [...]
Love, family and nostalgia are the appointment of “Flipped”, a film aimed at young audiences who will rock sensitivities among the greatest. Nice despite its abundance of good feelings. By coasting for several years, Bryce (Callan McAuliffe) and Juli (Madeline Carroll) will learn to know themselves, to appreciate and perhaps even love. Carefree young children, [...]
True and false do not matter in “Catfish”, a (pseudo?) Documentary about the infinite possibilities of the Internet where everyone can be what he wants. Yet this is a lesson that everyone knows, right? A guy from New York, befriends a girl from Michigan through email and electronic trading networks. At the beginning everything is [...]
Film scare midway between “Scream” and “Saw”, “Devil” is an ersatz film by M. Night Shyamalan. More satisfying than foreshadowed the awful trailer, but not very successful so far. For fans of the genre only. Five people are trapped in an elevator with the devil just one to one steal their soul. What not to [...]
