Old George is back with his best Dead film since Day of the dead!I read some bad reviews of his new film but man are they dead wrong! Romero is the Godfather of the living dead films and his latest is a true genius back in old form.The closest Survival of the dead is is to his other dead film "Day" This is a beautifully shot film with sympathetic actors,great scrip,amazing music,and last but not least George Romero's direction!! The most outstanding,amazing and brilliant performance comes from Kenneth Welsh,Windom Earl from Twin Peaks!His performance is so good i wan't to hug him!Zombies are not the most importend thing in George's films, never was.It's just a problem but not the most inpatient one.The most importend problem in all his dead films is human conflict,living humans! In the end he doesn't either takes sides like his previous zombie classics,the brilliant closing shot is the best thing i ever seen in a zombie flick! Thanks George for this film!!
Let me start by saying that the bad reviews for The lovely bones are dead wrong.This isn't a bad film,far from.Every selfclaimed IMDb critic starts by saying they read the book and that it's bad in every way.Most of you are full of..... I haven't read the book.I have just seen the film and i really liked it a lot!It's a beautiful sensitive film,full with human emotions and there is hardly a cliché in it.The between world ,the girl is in, is a nice vision of what a 14 year old girl would think spending in after she just brutally murdered and can't except her sudden death and taking away from her familie and new blooming highschool love.Don't you get it? The serial killer,portrait nicely by Tucci,i one of the scariest characters i'v seen in recent cinema history,kudos for Tucci playing such a part!All actors are wonderful,the music by Brian Eno is dominant but affective,and Peter Jackson's direction is sublime. I think the movie will be a sleeper classic,but most people jumped on the "i hate this film"bandwagon and that is very sad indeed,because there are lot's of people who get and love this film and it deserves a lot of love!!
Shutter island is one of those films you got to see multiple times,and that alone is what a work of art,film should be.Film is not a one look then never again because i'v seen it and know what is going to happen, kind of thing!I'v must seen Raging bull,Taxi driver,mean streets,King of comedy,Last temptation of Christ,Mean streets,After hours 30 times or more!the same will happen with Martin Scorsese's new Shutter Island!From reviews i'v read people either like it or hate it,that alone is proof the film is a piece of art.Like Lynch or Kubricks films,who with every film have the same treatment of reviewers.They love it or they hate it,there is no middle ground! The less you know about the film,the first time you see it, the better,but in the day and age of internet that is a difficult thing.People watch the trailer for month before the movie comes out.They read the book,the script,they know what is happening on the set etc.There is a great deal of mystery gone if you obsesively read everything on the net!Shutter island is a brilliant film and although it's a mystery thriller,it's vintage Scorsese stuff!The obsessive main character,the 50's,the virtuoso camera work,the brilliant use of music.It's a story about insanity,obsession and love,and what it can do to a person.De caprio is very good in Marty's films and this is probably his best film with Scorsese so far,or even in his career! He seems to get better with every film! All the supporting cast is very good aswel,aspecialy John Lynch,Ruffalo,Kingsly,Michele Williams and Elias Koteas,who apear only very briefly in it,but his soul is in the whole picture. The experimental music from Eno,Cage and others is very effective. The film,for me,is one of the best Scorsese in 20 years.Go see it!
