"Just For one day (Heroes)" By David Guetta

Great song, I say David Guetta is one of the best. I used to listen to this a long time ago, just my kind of music, the one I grew up with.

Here is the trailer for the fun and unique action movie, RED, starring Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary Louise Parker, and Morgan Freeman.

Big Actors, Big Guns, and The One That Tripped (RED review)

RED
***

I knew before going in to see this film that RED was going to be a film of zero depth. It was, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. One reason is all the legendary actors that managed to be involved in this. I mean in my opinion, Helen Mirren would have been enough reason to see this film. Directed by little known director (to me) Robert Schwentke, the film falls a bit short, but it’s not a deal breaker.

RED is about a group of retired black-ops who suddenly become a target, and they must get back the old team to fight the attack. It’s an entertaining film, specially because all the actors play the parts well. They are all legends in their own right, and to see them in something far from their comfort zone, at least for most, was a blast. Such cast includes Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and Mary-Louise Parker.

There are not many things that stand out completely about the film, but it is at times like a sightseeing tour. For example, I don’t think it gets anymore badass than to see Helen Mirren with a machine gun, seriously she is perfect for anything. Also I loved John Malkovich as the crazy man, who is not entirely nuts either. In one particular scene he grabs a woman coming out of a store, puts a gun to her head, and simply justifies it by saying “she smells like government”. Such a funny scene in the film. John Malkovich can certainly play the wacky old man. Another wonderful thing that just about made this film worth seeing was that the second half of the film would not have happened if one of the characters hadn’t tripped. Have you ever seen that in an action sequence, a character trip and then get caught? Well it happens here and it drives the second half of the narrative. It’s great, that made me laugh so much.

RED is not a serious film, so don’t be fooled by the pedigree in the cast. This is a fun, funny, and unique action movie. I would recommend you to rent it, if anything to see Academy Award winning actors embody action roles that are unlikely of them to do so. Who says old people can’t have fun? They certainly did in this picture. 

Inception Soundtrack-Dream is Collapsing (Hans Zimmer)

My second favorite piece of music from the film Inception.

Inception Soundtrack, Trailer music - Mind Heist

This is certainly one of the most epic pieces of music from a film ever. Well it's addicting, and very inspiring at leas to me. I have heard it hundreds of times. I say that when I feel uninspired I listen to this immediately. Hans Zimmer is a genius.

They Talk So Fast! (The Social Network review)

 

The Social Network
****

I don’t understand why I ever hesitated to watch this film. I think it is partly because it was too popular of an Academy Award nominated movie for my taste, but in the end I gave it a chance and it all worked out for the best.

The Social Network chronicles the battle and life before of Mark Zuckerberg the creator of Facebook. One of the most impressive things that the writer accomplishes is putting some heavy dialogue into the characters. Often I found myself reading the subtitles too fast, and believe me you at least need subtitles to catch everything the characters say. One characters that impressed me beyond imagination was that of Mark Zuckerberg himself. Jesse Eisenberg plays him with extreme confidence, one I myself or many would never pull off. His words come out like a speeding bullet train which serves to prove how smart this person is.

The performances are not only brilliant, but extremely well casted. While most might feel that the main character, the creator of Facebook, comes off as an arrogant asshole, I found myself liking him a lot. This film if it is at all accurate with the actual personality of the real Mark Zuckerberg; I say praises him as an extremely intelligent man. One I not only found myself feeling great sympathy for, but also great admiration for. I mean if you can create something like Facebook, and become the youngest billionaire in the world then I say go for being the though asshole you can be. Why the hell not?

The movie is wonderfully shot, the cinematography is nothing short of genius. I don’t know but the films had a lot of green in it, and I loved it. The sound design too can be appreciated in some of the club scenes. Truly this films stands out in many technical aspects, but what really makes it genius, is the writing by Aaron Sorkin. The quick talk, and wonderful complicated words (God only knows what they mean) that fill the screenplay are something to appreciate greatly. It credit’s the great appeal of the movie, aside from the young actors and stars such as Justin Timberlake who by the way surprised me by showing that he can actually act.

This extremely modern piece should be watched by everyone. I think you will be greatly impressed at how interesting a movie about Facebook can be. Also if anything at least anyone with a Facebook should watch it. Trust me this film is a masterpiece.
