“Mamma Mia!” Movie Review

“Mamma Mia” Plot Summary

The story of a bride-to-be trying to find her real father told using hit songs by the popular ’70s group ABBA.

Mamma Mia, Meryl!!!

There’s no better way to describe the HORRENDOUS experience that’s to watch Mamma Mia: Hitler must be looking up, saying to the pseudo-director Phyllida Lloyd ‘You monster, what have you done?’Everything about the movie is wrong. Just Wrong! Even its success, which is unexplainable. I can understand when those crappy parody movies, like Epic Movie, make their minimal share of money and turn profit just because they’re cheap (of course they are!). But when something like Mamma Mia makes 450 million dollars worldwide, you think ‘what the hell is wrong with the world?’And to think we have Meryl Streep, one of the greatest alive actresses of the world, in it? What was she thinking? ‘I need the money’, she could say. Well then, sell one of your grandchildren, even that would be less embarrassing. It’s not that Meryl is good in a disastrous piece of, err, ‘movie’. She’s also disastrous! When she sings, even though she’s got the vocals, it’s ridiculous. Worse than her only Pierce Brosnan. He used to be James Bond. Now he’s singing Abba in a purple spandex during the credits of the worst movie ever. Really? And when I mention Abba, not that I have anything against the band and their music. Though it doesn’t help them when actors started singing (badly), dancing (worse) and the extras join then (They pop out of nowhere! Frequently!) to present one terrible musical sequences after the other. You wanna cry when the music starts. And I love musicals! But this is the first in the genre where you PRAY for actual silence

I could keep going. The list goes on forever. You could write a Stephen King novel with the complete list of mistakes in this movie

To sum up: go watch it! Really! You’ve got to witness to understand!! And since it’s already a huge success, who cares if it makes a few more dollars from you? And it’s not liking you’re selling your soul to the devil. Meryl did that before. For the whole mankind. And now the world must end, because we’ve committed the ultimate evil and we must be destroyed.

    “Bridget Jones’s Diary” Movie Review

    “Bridget Jones” Plot Summary

    A British woman is determined to improve herself while she looks for love in a year in which she keeps a personal diary.

    My favorite movie

    SPOILERS! Every time I watch this movie I feel like I’m falling in love all over again. Bridget is soooo lovable. It’s a fact! Why else would two dishy men like Daniel and Mark be all over her. Let’s face it — Daniel is a dog. But Mark is a very well educated, accomplished man. I’m so glad that Bridget ends up with someone so worthy of her and her sweetness and good heart

    Mark is very cautious because he has been hurt before. Therefore, his willingness to proclaim his feelings for Bridget and commit to her must be very difficult for him but he does because he wants Bridget in his life. Since he is an attorney, I would also assume he is very analytical and has looked at his relationship with Bridget from every angle imaginable

    I also think that Bridget might remind him a little of his mother. Remember, folks, his mother is the one who picked out his Christmas ties and wanted to fix up Bridget and Mark in the first place. Also, Mark has seen how happy his parents have been for 40 years, so his mother’s playfulness and humor probably contributed a lot to that fact. Besides, Mark has worked hard to become a very accomplished and well-thought of attorney, and he needs to balance it with the love, affection, sweetness, silliness, tenderness, and humor that Bridget can offer. I just love this movie.

    “Love Actually” Movie Review

    “Love Actually” Plot Summary

    Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely and interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.

    Actually…excellent

    Well this movie is actually…excellent. It includes lots of characters who are all in love in their own special way and the whole story is set in London five weeks before Christmas. We meet Billy Mack (Bill Nighy), old singer who tries to get back on top with help of his loyal manager Joe (Gregor Fisher); David (Hugh Grant) has just become the new Prime Minister and he instantly falls in love with his new personal assistant Natalie (Martine McCutcheon); Karen (Emma Thompson) and Harry (Alan Rickman) are married couple with their own problems; Sarah (Laura Linney) is women torn between a man she loves and her sick brother; Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Juliet (Keira Knightley) are fresh married, but Peter’s best friend Mark (Andrew Lincoln) is in love with Juliet; John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page) met on shooting of porn movie; Jamie Bennett (Colin Firth) moves to France after he found out that his girl is cheating him with his brother and there he meets Aurelia (Lucia Moniz), young Portuguese woman; Colin Frissell (Kris Marshall) hopes that he’ll find ‘normal’ girl(s) in America; and finally there is Sam (Thomas Sangster), who is young boy and also in love, which makes a problem to his stepfather Daniel (Liam Neeson).

    So many characters and so many actors that are beautifully composed in this movie. All that is achieved Richard Curtis in his directorial debut. His story is for everyone. I think that lots of people could find themselves in this characters that are full of life and very real. Maybe the only characters that are little stretched are the ones of John and Judy. It’s hard to believe that porn actors are so shy like they are both presented. But here Curtis makes fun with everything. That’s why I love Britons so much. They smile to others equally as they smile to themselves. ‘Love Actually’ rises above many romantic movies because it has great story, capable direction, top class actors and magnificent soundtrack mixed with some old and some new songs. I really can’t talk about all the actors in this movies cause it would last for days; instead I’ll mention only two: Bill Nighy and Emma Thompson. Nighy brings breath of fresh air to his character while he’s making fun with his manager, his own hit song and Britney Spears. Emma Thompson, ah Emma Thompson. She makes acting so easy, makes you feel that anyone could act. She’s so natural and believable, such extraordinary actress. There is also lots of cameo roles (Billy Bob Thornton, Claudia Schiffer, Denise Richards, Sienna Guillory…) and one hilarious appearance of Rowan Atkinson as jewelery salesman (he’s like Christmas ghost, you know when he helps young Sam).

    Well, I almost forgot to say what is this movie about (at least how I understand it). It gives us a message; that we must search and struggle for love, we must make sacrifice, just like Jamie and Sam for example did, while Sarah choose the other way (her brother) and she gave up. Actually everything is said in the beginning; there is enough love on this world (great idea with airport arrivals). Actually, I advice you to watch this movie. Actually, I gave 10 to it, cause it’s so much better then any other romantic movie I’ve ever watched. Or I could just say, love actually.

    “Shakespeare in Love” Movie Review

    “Shakespeare in Love” Plot Summary

    A young Shakespeare, out of ideas and short of cash, meets his ideal woman and is inspired to write one of his most famous plays.

    This movie is my favorite film of all time.

    The first time I went to see ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ I went because the commercials on television were hilarious. So, I went to see it opening day (Christmas), but that isn’t extremely special because I see movies on holidays as a rule. When I left the theatre, I was in love with the film, and the more I thought about the more I loved it. Later that day, I went to see ‘The Prince of Egypt’ and ‘Stepmom.’ Really bad and decent, respectively. I thought of them in comparison to ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ and they got worse and worse and ‘Shakespeare in Love’ got better and better

    And why shouldn’t it? Gwyneth Paltrow turns out an amazing performance especially since she is using an accent, speaking in verse, and playing four parts (Viola, Thomas, Romeo, and Juliet). She is also phenomenal in the way she can switch from being horridly funny to evoking tears. Joseph Fiennes no less of an actor than she. He brings such life to someone seen as a god to many and he is so believable as this writing giant. Geoffery Rush is absolutely hilarious as Mr. Henslowe. I must say that he will make you roll in the aisles. Then of course there is Judi Dench, who has a meek 8 and a half minutes of screentime but is so awesome that she won Best Supporting Actress. And last, there is Ben Affleck, who also has a small role as Ned Alleyn (the prima donna of the group), but will make you laugh so hard that you will beg for mercy. I’m really not kidding, he has the best lines

    Now, if performances aren’t enough to make you see it, there are the costumes. Or the music. The music has to be one of the best scores I’ve ever heard. Or there’s the fights (yes, there are fights in a Shakespearean film), which are hilarious, tense, and full of suspense

    So, if I’ve been able to laugh at every joke all fourteen (yes, you read it correctly, 14) times that I’ve seen ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ I think you’ll enjoy it at least once.
