Piter FM

This movie was ok to me. The first thing that i thought was a lifetime movie. I figured the girl would break up with her boyfriend and not get married. The guy is too jealous and asks too many questions if she doesnt show up somewhere on time. In the end when he drops the phone in the water, it kind of adds a little spin and it makes you wonder how they are going to get together. Then he calls the radio station. i kind of saw it coming. This was a fun class and kind of sad it ended already.

Night Watch

This movie was very different from all the other movies we have watched in this class. This was very graphic and alot of fighting snd killing. The movie was very confusing at the beginning of the moive, but towards the end it falls into place. Alot more special affects than any other movie in this class. I like the car doing the flip and not hitting the guy walking across the street. Also that truack was like a race car. It could do things that no other vehicle could do. I usually like films like this but this one didnt catch my eye. It was ok to me. I cant belive at how long that agreement lasted until that boy came. I didnt think that the boy choose the dark side. THrough me for a loop, and i thought he trusted the guy who was the light.. but to me a ok movie

The Return

This movie was ok to me, . The first thing i want to say is the father is a asshole. He treats his kids like trap and it seems like if didnt even want them there. He made all these stops and stuff and they were just suppose to go fishing. I think the father got what he should have. The father expected the little boys to just love him and stuff but he was gone for 12 years. He has to earn there respect back. Not get it all because he came back. Also why doesnt eh big boy stand up for ivan i think ivan was right. y should i listen to you havent been here for 12 years. Another thing a good father would not leave his son on a bridge and hold a axe to it. not right at all. There was also alot of rainy parts in the movie when they get stuck in theh mud the kids did not know what to do and then the father slam his face into the car...wtf...thats just not right...overall a ok movie

Brother

This was a amazing movie no matter what people say. I liked the directing in this movie. The scene length was just about perfect for me. Not too long and not to short. The first thing that I noticed was that he is probably going to be the hero of the movie. He just got out of the army being a clerk. But he has a lot of talent and skills that he learned from there. The first thing that Daniel does that makes him a hero to me is when he saves or protects the German on the side of the road. He knocks the guy out with one hit with his elbow which was pretty cool and then steals his gun. What I find funny was that no one saw it or did anything. Probably they didn’t want to get hurt to and they saw the gun to. The first thing that he does is go to find his brother. He finds his brother and his brother gives him money and clothes and food. Gives him everything his father would have done. Viktor his brother is a father figure to Daniel. I notice that when they call they got actual number and stuff of today’s system unlike earlier movies that had to call the operator. This is a realistic film to me. There are people like that back that kill people and everything. Reminded me of the Bourne series, also when the Daniel and the girl go to the concert. That is common thing back then so again I like how it is realistic. I thought it was pretty cool showing us the scenes with the remaking of the gun and making like little grenades that pop. I don’t know why Viktor was like he was sorry at the end. I guess because that he didn’t tell Daniel that the bad guys where there but he probably knew because Viktor was talking weird on the phone when Daniel called Viktor to come over. I would have thought Viktor would have gotten up when he saw his brother shoot the first guy and help him out but he just sat there crying. I guess I would do the same if I had a gun pointed at me. But I don’t think that Daniel should have taken almost all the money and telling his brother to go to their mothers place. He was there for you; you should be there for him and take him with you. When Daniel goes back to the women who drove the trolley, I think he should have killed him. He beat that women and punch here right there. It doesn’t make sense then at the end she is crying like she regrets doing what he did and she should have left with Daniel. Overall movie was amazing.

Little Vera

I liked actually liked this movie. Vera just seems a teenager in love with drinking and being a slut with whoever she wants. At the beginning of the movie she seems like a total B*tch and stuff and throughout the movie she is like that. Some parts like when the dad is drunk and in pain she helps him change his clothes and stuff and helps him get in bed. It seems like she cares about the dad more than the mom. The parents are just total Aholes to Vera. But Vera kind of brings it all on herself by the way she acts. The parents are not in love. The mom even says that they got married way to young and doesn’t want Vera to do the same mistake. It seems like they are just together to almost be able to survive and live in that apartment/house they are in. Better to have two incomes than just one. Another thing I found weird was that she meets some new guy at a party and she is all of a sudden in love. It doesn’t make any sense. She knows nothing about this guy and is already having sex and has him move into his home and about to get married. Too much stuff going on way to fast. She does all this stuff in the matter of days when it is suppose to be years for all of this to happen. Drinking had a bid impact on his film compared to the others films. It makes the dad crazy in some parts and it also almost kills Vera.

Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears

I think this was an ok film. It reminded me of the first movie we saw, Irony of Fate. They both involve a kind of love story when they just meet each other on accident, but I liked irony of fate better. It also reminded me of a regular lifetime movie. With the love then the guy leaves, he’s gone for a week, and then the guy comes back. The shots were very long at some moments. I don’t think this movie should have been this long. Some parts that they really didn’t need in the film. One thing that I didn’t like about the film was the way the women get treated by the men for example Gosha treats Katya in the second part of the film. As if she is below him and they are in love?? Ya no, that’s not the way it works today but it did back then. Also the film started and ended with the showing of the apartments and their windows just like Irony of fate.

Ivan's Childhood

I liked this movie way better than Mirrors. I understood this film a lot better and way less complicated than it. It makes a lot more sense to me. Right from the beginning it grabbed my attention and had a bunch of information for use to use. Unlike Mirrors I got a little confused at the beginning. This movie was at a much faster pace to me then mirrors. I like that a lot in movies. One thing that I notice that was different from his other movie was the camera angles. One when the little boy is spinning and when the camera is like running through the trees making it seem like you are in the movie doing the running yourself. At the beginning of the movie when the boy is dreaming, I think that is what the boy wants more than anything to be with his mother again and then he wakes u and he is in a barn type building. Also how the camera is running alongside the boy sometimes which again is different form mirrors. Also at the end of the movie, it is kind of like a love story and reminds me of a Ballad Soldier.
