Carol I (2009)

Please, lost 1h30min from your precious life in a more pleasant way than this ...

That's why people in 60-70 years old have to retire; loss of control and abilities. Once time Nicolaescu was a great director, actor, screenwriter, producer, driver, stuntman, cashier, operator, garbage man and so on; he's on serve and on receive in the same time. But now seems he don't understand that there are young people who needs to assert and , furthermore, they truly need those money that Romanian government subsidize for local productions. Instead of it, Nicolaescu fiddles away on such production that can't be related any way with modern cinematography. Pardon me if I'm wrong but such a "documentary" is not worthing to be listed even on History Channel, not to mention in picture palace: a script copy/paste from history book of the 7-th grade school and a tack of shots from movies directed by himself in his "years of glory" If only he would spent his own money on this misfire . Shame on this dotard and so to those who spent budgetary funds for such a rubbish

Mermaid (2000 TV Movie)

And look how a true story, "... with a little help of it's friends..." : a welldone and touching script, a good directing and a surprising great acting from a bunch of "no-name" actors, especially from the 4-yr-old Jodelle Ferland, becomes a must seen movie. 9/10
