The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) (2011)

Why some filmmakers commit a crime of making such a bad movies?

[1/10 · 6 December 2011]

I believe this question has no answers of wisdom like "Are we alone in the Universe?" ,"What was first chicken or the egg?", or "Why the f**k Christina Aguilera is still putting on weight?!".

Horror films are a special category of movies. We don't really care about their probability, poor acting, ridiculous screenplay. But here we got too much of all of them. The script - saying it straight- doesn't even exist. It's a story about a man who's kidnapping people (in front of cameras...)because of his obsession of making a "human centipede". I hope i don't have to explain what "human centipede" is... I need to add that whole concept isn't the worst side of this movie- it's gore, disgusting and for sure can find some admirers...

But all of the rest of this "piece of art" is literally f****d up. I usually don't care about the montage but this thing has got none of editing. Actors? Porn stars are more believable and would play better than these ( how to name them?)...amateurs?

Finally i have to write that i really appreciate filmmakers. I know it's hard to do a film that's really touching, funny, scary and so on. That's why i give 2 in IMDb range even for the biggest crap. But here we have a different situation. My boyfriend probably need help from therapist after watching this film :) So without feeling guilty i give "The human centipede" a big, red lightning 1, and i say to all of mankind avoid this movie like they avoid black death in medieval Europe! I had made a mistake and watched it...and that was the biggest mistake of my entire life...

Loose Cannons (2010)

Reminds me of my Italian holiday

[7/10 · 14 October 2010]

Although, the director wasn't born in Italy ( he is of Turkish origin), he had made a movie in very Italian style.

First, let me write about a music. It is phenomenal. My favourite choice is Nina Zilli's song "50 mila" - very fresh, soulful and "remind me of summer" track. Italian movies are often associated with good music - so I wasn't surprise with great soundtrack. What amazed me the most, was the great acting. Riccardo Scamarcio as Tommaso was good but Ilaria Ochcini as his grandmother was the greatest character in this movie. Strong, powerful, self-confident and witty.

A third thing I want to mention is the story. I'm a gay person so I could easy wear in Tomasso shoes. The story was believable, interesting and very bitter-sweet.

I recommend this title to everyone who like warm, funny comedy-drama. I bet you'll like it for sure.

Precious (II) (2009)

Welcome in America

[8/10 · 14 July 2010]

The land of fast cars, happy suburbs and of course the place where "american dream" come true. For sure not for Precious.

Someone could say that there's too much of disasters, that this black 17 year old girl, is touched by. But hey, all of them are natural implications of misfortune that happened to her when she was a little child. Her story is really tragic but you can't say that's unreal. Remember "s**t happens".

What about acting? I have only one word to describe it- SUPERB. The very first time on screen- Gabourey Sidibe is great in a leading role, but to be honest Mo'Nique stole her the show. As a demonic mother who hates her own child (and probably herself), she is the best villain in non-superhero movie since Dennis Hopper has played Frank Booth in "Blue Velvet".

Overall I give "Precious" 8 out of 10 stars. I would like to recommend this title to everyone who like tough social dramas with a little ray of hope for a better life.
