“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.

“Star Wars” Movie Review
“Star Wars IV: A New Hope” Plot Summary
Luke Skywalker leaves his home planet, teams up with other rebels, and tries to save Princess Leia from the evil clutches of Darth Vader.
One of the most popular films of all time, and understandably so
I was never a ‘Star Wars’ guy growing up. I wouldn’t say that I was a ‘Star Trek’ guy growing up either (‘Doctor Who’ was my sci-fi franchise of choice growing up, and still is, even though I’m not a big fan of Russell T. Davies’ version of the show), but I would definitely choose my favorite episodes of the original series or ‘Deep Space 9′, ‘The Wrath of Khan’, and ‘The Undiscovered Country’ over any ‘Star Wars’ film. I’ve seen the original trilogy a couple of times previously, once as a kid, once in my mid-teens, and now I sit down to watch ‘Star Wars’ again, having been inspired by catching half of ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ on TV recently and being enthralled by it
The first thing that struck me is how great the opening shot is, just after the scrolling text that is. The rest of the movie was pretty much how I remembered it being- a collection of great set-pieces and memorable characters, and a great mythology, but with a story which wasn’t nearly as grand and great as ‘The Empire Strikes Back’. Although a point of criticism aimed at ‘Star Wars’ by its (relatively few) detractors is that it doesn’t quite match the real feel of a 30’s/40’s serial, I think that it really does, and not only in the way it is shot and the transitional wipes and all that, but in the writing, the acting, and just about everything else. It has that same sense of adventure, and although this particular film is nowhere near as good as some of my favorite serials, it remains something which very accurately captures the feel of watching one of those, and its popularity (and the popularity of ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’) is hence quite understandable, as very few of even the big summer blockbusters have the same sensibility and sense of adventure, and well, fun
Watching ‘Star Wars’, in spite of it not being my favorite of the original trilogy, serves as a reminder of the talent which George Lucas had at one point. I don’t think this film is as good as his previous effort, ‘American Graffiti’, which is the greatest ‘coming of age’ film I’ve ever seen, and one of the most beautiful films ever made from a visual standpoint, but it’s still got spirit and energy which his later efforts just don’t. It’s quite sad, really. There’s really nothing I can say that hasn’t been said already (which is true, certainly of many popular films, but this is freakin’ ‘Star Wars’, so trust me, I have NOTHING to add to what has already been said). There are ‘Star Wars’ devotees who swear it is the greatest of the trilogy and one of the best movies ever made, there are detractors who think it’s cheesy nonsense, and then there are others like me who like it quite a bit, but aren’t sure where all the extravagant praise comes from. ‘The Empire Strikes Back’… Well, that’s a whole other story.8/10
