I usually don't appreciate western TV series (except documentaries).

The Wedding Planner (2001)
Italians are written really badly.
I didn't like the movie, as my rate says.
Apart from all the other major things like the general plot or the acting, I was really unsatisfied by the representation of Italians portrayed as weird people (Massimo and JLo's dad) that should jump on a plane to marry an American through arranged marriage, a practise that might be popular 100s years ago, but was completely eradicated since the first 1900s.
And worst of all, portrait them appreciating Italian American product like maccheroni and cheese that here basically don't exist. It could've been anything, a simple pasta al sugo (tomato sauce), ragu (meat sauce), pasta in bianco (just olive oil). But no, cheese maccheroni....
This was stupid, cheap and insulting.
The Sound Barrier (1952)
Epic movie for an epic journey.
A pilot from ww2 marry a young lady from a family of famous plane factory, where he rapidly became the chief test driver.
Mission of the president, his wife's father, is to reach mach 1, speed of sound.
In order to do science mix up with courage and determination, but will it be enough?
Technically speaking it aged really well, special and effects are on point, except for what concern colours, which are obviously in b&w.
Probably actors are the "weakest" point of the movie, a bit too theatrical.
Direction and story are both smart, makes you keep watching.
Would definitely suggest.
Boyhood (2014)
It's a good movie, you should watch it.
The title and the score doesn't make sense one with the other, let me explain:
They all tried to make something deep, but there was something missing.
The idea of using the same actors through 13 years it's impressive, but with so much time it's hard to focus on an objective, they almost lost the way in the middle, but they managed to follow the path and to deliver a good movie.
The thing is, I felt like it should have choose different events in his life, maybe focusing more on the grown Mason, his years at university/college, maybe shifting, filming from when he was 10yo to 23yo.
This film was something very big, I got it, there was lot of good stuff, but the end made me so angry, because of this waste of potential.
So yes, this is a rage vote.
PS: Hero, Family of the year it's one of the best song I ever heard.
