“Frida” Movie Review
“Frida” Plot Summary
A biography of artist Frida Kahlo, who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage into her work. add synopsis
Incredible eyebrow woman
Throughout the entire film I was unable to avert my gaze from the bushy forehead of the amazing ‘woman with one eyebrow’ – and nowhere on the net can I find a photograph of Frida Kahlo with such an impressive hedgerow plastered across her face. Why it was felt necessary to portray her thus, is a mystery to me. It may seem trivial, but it really did detract from what is essentially an immense performance
Hayek excels, and definitely makes the movie more palatable for mainstream audiences who may not be interested in the social and artistic merits of what is an important historical era. She is ably assisted by the talented Molina, and the beautiful sets and photography are a fitting tribute to the story of one quite amazing woman
So even if you think art is bunkum and history is naff, I think you will enjoy this sad but uplifting tale of a beautiful, spirited and unforgettable woman. Surely a must-see for any cinema buff.

“Rain Man” Movie Review
“Rain Man” Plot Summary
Selfish yuppie Charlie Babbitt’s father left a fortune to his savant brother Raymond and a pittance to Charlie; they travel cross-country.
A good drama that gives an idea of what living with an autistic person must be like
It’s not very difficult to see why this movie won four Oscars and was nominated for four more. The academy loves movies about people with difficult lives or with a handicap. Sometimes it almost feels like they are desperate to show that they too have a heart and so a director who hasn’t won anything so far just has to make a movie with such a subject and he can be sure that he will hit the jackpot. Does that also mean that those movies are always excellent? No, although I wish they were. But it has to be said, not all of those movies are bad either, take for instance this ‘Rain Man’. That’s certainly a movie that deserves a closer watch
When the selfish yuppie Charlie Babbitt hears that his father has left behind a fortune after his death, but that he won’t get it, he is furious. He has never had a good relationship with his father, who threw him out as a teenager, but he sure hoped for more than a now antique convertible. And to make things worse for Charlie, he hears that all the money goes to Raymond, an autistic man who he has never seen before in his life, but who appears to be his brother. And if that shock isn’t yet big enough, the man also appears to be able to calculate complicated mathematical problems in his head with great speed and accuracy, but doesn’t even understand what money can be used for. Enraged by all this ‘injustice’, Charlie kidnaps Raymond from his residential home, but then finds out how difficult it is to live with a man who only can live with his fixed routines…This wouldn’t have been a typical eighties movie if there hadn’t been a selfish yuppie in it of course, but I must say that it didn’t bother me this time. The main reason for that is because it accentuates the contrast between the two men even more. Charlie has nothing else but money on his mind, while Raymond doesn’t even know what money is. That’s without any doubt a very smart idea which makes this movie work. And that’s not the only good thing about this movie. The acting for instance is also very good. Especially Dustin Hoffman is excellent, but that has of course much to do with the role that he is playing. Still, his performance is very believable and remarkable. And even though I’m not a huge Tom Cruise fan, I must say that he was really very good in this movie. The role he was playing seemed to be written for him
All in all this is a very good movie that sure deserves to be seen. The acting and the story are far above average and give a good idea of what it must be like to live with an autistic person. I’m convinced that this movie certainly doesn’t deserve a rating lower than 7.5/10.

“Four Rooms” Movie Review
“Four Rooms” Plot Summary
Four interlocking tales that take place in a fading hotel on New Year’s Eve.
Amazingly funny
This movie is almost too funny for words. It kept me laughing about it for ages after, and still does.
To start off with, Tim Roth who plays Ted the bellhop, is fantastic! The way he changes from being posh and upper class one minute and then the next minute uses his real voice, all slang and cockney. His character also seems to have a nervous jitter about him which will leave you laughing for ages.
Next, the first segment, ‘The Missing Ingredient’ – While it is funny, it’s the least ammusing out of the four segments. The story of how the witches are trying to unfreeze their goddess is ammusing and the little rhyme that the witch Eva recites : ‘Goddess Diana, fail you I will/ I was to bring you fresh sperm from my Bill/ I had him erect and his semen would follow/ Alas, I was hot, so hot that I swallowed. Therefore, obviously the other witches want eva to get sperm from Ted the bellhop. Check out for Madonna in this segment!
The second segment, ‘The Wrong Man’ – This segement shows Ted ending up in the wrong room, leading to having a gun pointed at his head. My favourite bit in particular from this segment was when Ted ended up half hanging out of the bathroom window squealing ‘HELP!’
The third segement, ‘The Misbehavers’ – This was incredibly funny. My two favourite bits from this segment was a) when the little girl made Ted realise how stupid he was when he realised that he could have washed the vapour rub off his eyelids when his babysitter used to do it to him whenhe was a child. and b) the line Ted screams down the room-service phone to the little girl that goes along the lines of, ‘If there’s not a dead body in that room by the time I get up there, I’m gonna make one!’
The last segment, ‘The Man from Hollywood’ – I found this the funniest segment of them all. Could be because Quentin Tarantino stars in this and I’m a big fan of his (that’s probably the reason I saw this in the first place). Ted finds himself going up to the penthouse with various odd items on his room-service trolley and ends up staying there and getting mixed up in a scheme made by Quentin Tarantino and Paul Calderon. Also, look out for Bruce Willis who’s there too but is uncredited. The trio are hysterical as a bunch of drunk guys on New Year’s Eve. Quentin Tarantino more or less plays himself – a famous director.
This movies is definately a must-see. I give it 10/10
