Cloud Atlas

我很好奇：大陆版里被剪掉的40分钟内容是哪些？
这部戏里，有哪40分钟是多余的？
剪片的那头公仆，真有能力看懂这部片子吗——否则怎么会剪掉40分钟呢？

The Great Gatsby

迪卡普里奥大秀演技，Carey Mulligan依然养眼（Daisy的虚荣浅薄程度比之An Education中的小女生角色有过之而无不及），连Tobey Maguire都显得可爱了。
场景华美，但那股镀金时代的劲儿总令人联想到今天的中国。

1992年的老片，摄影、节奏、调度和演技都无懈可击

和你在一起
Together

很有陈凯歌风格的一部电影，摄影、灯光、道具、节奏，细节处处闪烁着导演的智慧光芒，在技术上非常精彩；演员演技精湛，每一个人物的性格都很饱满；缺点在于整体剧本偏弱，故事线有问题，尤其是结尾偏离了写实主义风格，是令人遗憾的败笔。
刘佩琦、王志文和陈凯歌饰演的三个人物构成了“父亲”角色的三极：心地善良而又熟谙生存之道的底层劳动者、才华横溢性格孤傲而又淡泊名利随遇而安的小教师、外表正直崇高但内心精于计算城府极深的大教授。琴童在这三个人物的培养与教育下，与他们先后产生了尖锐矛盾，贯穿影片始终。
陈红饰演的莉莉极为成功，连带着把演她男友的程前都带出了彩。筹备生日聚会那一场，这个女孩的敢爱敢恨、美艳性感表露无遗。这个角色是有资格载入中国电影史册的。
影片开头的江南水乡像是同里，对琴童一路小跑的跟进拍摄很见摄像师的取景功力。

西游·降魔篇

剧本弱了些，好在演员阵容很强，也延续了周星驰的一贯风格。
舒淇在这部戏中不愧性感女神称号。
同是驱魔师，舒淇逐利而专业，文章无私而业余，两者相比，我觉得还是选专业的好。
黄渤友情出演，戏份不多，但肢体语言极为丰富。
黄渤教舒淇跳舞那段很精彩。
罗志祥的法宝原来是巡航导弹。
年轻人啊，非要到分开之后，对方感受不到了，才想起要表达爱。

Amour

这部影片基本上只有两个角色：半身不遂的妻子与充当护工的丈夫，演员的年龄分别是85岁和82岁。
影片中充斥着大量长镜头——而且是定焦长镜头，比如全戏的高潮：老太太大声呼痛，老头絮絮叨叨地给她讲自己小时候参加夏令营的往事，老太渐渐平静下来，老头一闪念，突然决定拿起枕头把老太给闷死了——一长段戏是用一个定焦长镜头完成的。
难为导演，这么一部讲述照料瘫痪老人的缺乏矛盾冲突情节亮点的电影，居然被他拍得不算乏味，玄机在于“细腻”两字。比如影片开头老太死后身边铺满了花朵，后来从老头的叙述中才得知，这是老头从小的约定：花朵表示希望留下，也就是留在老太身边。
又如：老太拒绝照镜子，此后不久老头就辞退了护工，连女儿上门都不让她随便见老太。为什么呢？如果一个人已经无法接受镜中的自己，又怎么会愿意别人看见她呢？
国人看片注重情节，这部片可能不太对国人的胃口——也就不太对我的胃口——但细细品味的话，还是决定给它打4分。

Gravity

大概我把力学都还给老师了，没想明白究竟是什么力把乔治克鲁尼给拖走了。

春娇与志明

杨千嬅真的成了大妈，外形上完全无法与杨幂抗衡，加上杨幂作为女朋友称得上很用心很耐心，而且居然连“母性”这种稀缺情感都有。。。。。。但志明还是选择和她分手回到不施浓妆就没法看的杨千嬅身边，这只能用文化共性来解释了——他们俩就是因此而走到一起的嘛。
“男人这东西，过了罗湖就不是人了！”
本片龙套阵容很强大：郝蕾、黄晓明、郑伊健，连王馨平都被挖出来了.
片尾彩蛋也很有笑点——总的来说是这几年难得一见的港产上佳情感剧。

4

Prime

Meryl Streep、Uma Thurman和Bryan Greenberg老中青三代演员一起飙了一部好戏：37岁的离婚白领Uma与23岁的幼齿画家Brian擦出火花，熊熊燃烧；Uma担心这段姐弟恋不靠谱，频频去找心理医生倾诉；Bryan则遭到犹太老妈的坚决反对；而心理医生与犹太老妈是同一个人：Meryl Streep。
这部电影港译《春心荡漾》，实在是有点狗血。其实正如Meryl对Uma分析时所说：You are both at your sexual peak.我觉得这就是对片名的直观理解：不仅在sex方面，这个年纪的男女在很多方面都正值Prime年华，只可惜浪漫的爱情在现实生活中难以契合。
虽然结局完全不是标准好莱坞式的皆大欢喜，但我很喜欢最后几场戏：Uma和Bryan在做爱时的坦诚絮语、冬日雪夜隔着小酒馆玻璃橱窗的温情凝视，以及又一个版本的《I wish you love》——情不自禁地跟着歌手哼唱起来，直到字幕升起。

Lincoln

这部影片应该作为宪政教育片来看。
丹尼尔·戴·刘易斯凭此片拿到了奥斯卡最佳男主角，但我觉得片中汤米李琼斯的演技更为出彩——结尾他取下发套露出光头，安详地与黑人女管家同床共寝，叫人大跌眼镜。
本片的配乐来自芝加哥交响乐团，小号尤其精彩。
呼应首句，这部影片引进国内的机会很小，因为它居然在解释民主政治中的折衷、妥协乃至交易，居然在解释为什么一项高度“政治正确”的宪法修正案需要在台前幕后花如此大的力气去推动——在天朝，早就全票通过了。

东邪西毒：终极版
Ashes of Time: Redux

这是王家卫对其1994年经典作品《东邪西毒》重新剪辑制作后于2008年推出的版本。且不说情节人物的微调和画面色调的修复，对我来说最大的惊喜是配乐水准提升了一个层次，看的时候揣测是马友友及其丝路乐队的作品，果不其然。
重新听到那些少年时代于懵懂间所忽略的经典台词：
以前我认为那句话很重要，因为我觉得有些话说出来就是一生一世，现在想一想，说不说也没有什么分别，有些事会变的。
我一直以为是我自己赢了，直到有一天看着镜子，才知道自己输了，在我最美好的时候，我最喜欢的人都不在我身边。如果能重新开始那该多好啊！
当你不能够再拥有，你唯一可以做的，就是令自己不要忘记。

Black Swan

Natalie Portman的演技真的是很精彩，但这部电影我真的是不太喜欢。
片中大量运用镜子表现女主角的人格分裂，很有创意。
再借用一句影评：
最最可怜的是Winona Ryder，可也只能一声叹息了。这样的角色简直在演她自己，娱乐圈的残酷全在其中了。

The Elephant Walk

这是伊丽莎白·泰勒的早期作品，临时接替中途退出的费雯丽担任女主角。我是因为要去斯里兰卡才会看这部故事背景发生在那里的老片子。

公孙杵臼受剑穿胸而死，尸体被拖走时地上居然连血痕都没有，这应当被视为穿帮镜头了。
结局很有日式武士剧的结尾风格，但很难说服观众。故事没有编圆，就会有这样的烦恼。

周恩来的四个昼夜

影片一开头就把“苏联逼债”作为“三年自然灾害”的肇因之一，但早已解密多年的苏联档案表明，当时苏联并未逼债，而是善意提出延缓偿债计划。是中国政府视面子高于百姓性命，主动要求提前还清债务。而且，偿债规模与当时中国政府的岁入相比极为微小。
片中有位没露面的农家产妇和她的早产新生儿，而此时大饥荒已进入第三年。经历过大饥荒的幸存者都知道，当时除了干部家庭，普通农家妇女是怀不上孩子的——营养不良触发了人体的自我保护机制，大饥荒时期的女性灾民排卵与月经中断了，还怎么怀孕。
邮局姑娘给周恩来一份礼物：一张道光年间的邮票。。。。。。这位编剧太奇葩了。
周恩来上午宣布由村民自行决定是否解散食堂，中午各家各户的灶头就冒烟了——编剧大概是90后吧？办食堂的时候各家的厨具餐具都充了公，又经过大炼钢铁的洗劫而损耗殆尽，炊具灶头也销毁了，让村民拿什么做饭？现起炉灶吗？再说所有的粮食都入了公社，村民吃什么？
况且。。。村民用了一上午就决定解散食堂？瞧这民主决议效率！
好在有《富春山居图》垫底，这部主旋律宣传片注定不会沦为2013年最烂影片。

武士的一分

山田洋次幕末三部曲的最后一部，唯美爱情片。
看到许多熟人，且演技都很出色：
木村拓哉扮演一个瞎武士，把他受到命运的突然打击而陷入极度落魄的变化演绎得很精彩；
檀丽扮演典型日本主妇，美且贤；
笹野高史扮演一个破落武士家的仆人，与他在《功名十字路口》中扮演的丰臣秀吉几乎是天上地下；
坂东三津五郎这次扮演道貌岸然的恶棍；
绪形拳戏份不多，扮演木村拓哉的剑道师傅，俨然老戏骨；
桃井薰把八婆姑妈刻画得入木三分。
总之，很完美，想和你一起看。

Unforgiven
（杀无赦）

这部由拍西部片成名的老戏骨Clint Eastwood制作、导演并主演的“反西部片”是1993年奥斯卡奖的大赢家，获得了最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳男配角（Gene Hackman）和最佳剪辑。
Clint Eastwood之所以没能拿到最佳男主角，是因为同年还有另一部老戏骨担纲的片子，叫做《闻香识女人》。
那时我还在读初三，20年一眨眼就过去了。看这部电影时，居然没有时间分神去回忆少年往事，因为电影本身已经足够引人入胜。

如果我是日人眷属，我怎么逃出生天？
如果我是土著妇女，我是抚养孩子长大还是追随男人于地下？
如果我是土著战士，我是死在战场还是自尽于密林？
如果我是部族酋长，我是拼死一战还是延续种族？
如果我是敌对部族，我是保持中立还是趁火打劫？
如果我是。。。
一部电影，能够驱动观众根据不同的立场去理解不同的选择，这也就是电影——或者一切艺术——的最高追求了吧。

1942

我在正大星美IMAX看的这一场，一共只有6名观众——也许已近映期尾声了吧。
这部片子没必要花两倍的价钱看IMAX版。
影评很多，我就不多说了，只谈结局：这是一个典型的开放式结局，老东家带着刚从路边捡来的孤儿，调头向东消失在潼关与灵宝之间的丘陵山地。很多影评认为这是笼罩全片悲剧主题之余的一抹亮色，可能是我太务实了吧，我实在看不出“亮”在哪里：沿着逃荒而来的路回去，沿途如何生存呢？

这部戏里范冰冰扮相难得的可爱；徐静蕾难得的花瓶；吴彦祖出奇的不幸，最血腥的镜头都和他有关；钱嘉乐那一刀出人意料，奠定了成龙难得的结局。

二十四城记

二十四城是华润集团在成都东二环外开发的一片商业住宅区。这里原本是一座拥有50年历史、一度养活了近3万名职工和10万家属的军工厂，最早叫420厂，改制后成为“成发集团”（全称是“中航工业成都发动机集团有限公司”），占地840亩，是计划经济时代典型的大型国企，厂区提供了职工生老病死所需要的一切。
关于国企老员工，导演贾樟柯曾经如此评价：
越老的工人越在维护这个体制，绝不是他对这个体制没有反省，没有批判，而是他很难背叛他过去青春的选择。
《二十四城记》是一部介于纪录片与剧情片之间的影片，既有对成发员工的访谈，也有吕丽萍、陈冲、赵涛、陈建斌扮演成发职工和家属进行访谈。
我喜欢对赵涛的那段访谈，赵涛把八零后女主角的思想变化演绎得很生动（此外，赵涛把车停在油菜花地那个长镜头的最后一帧照片特别美）。
我也喜欢陈冲对中年单身女性的演绎，尤其陈冲回忆同事们因为她长得像《小花》中的女主角陈冲而从此把她叫作小花（够绕的吧），很有意思。
吕丽萍那段访谈表演上一般般，但对那个年代的回忆给人留下深刻印象：在成都工作的姐姐把厂里发的棉线手套攒下来，寄给辽宁农村的妹妹，妹妹把手套拆了，给儿女们织线衫。这让我想起我的母亲也是这个年纪，实在没法苛求这代人学会大手大脚地消费。

Albert在索姆河战役中跳入德军战壕，看到战死的德军士兵带着面罩，我不禁在影院里焦急地连声轻叹：毒气。。。毒气。。。毒气
医官口口声声说Joey的破伤风致命，又说Albert被毒气熏瞎，结果下一个镜头连人带马就双双治愈，这个世界也太美好了吧。

成长教育

25岁的Carey Mulligan扮演一个高中生，粉雕玉啄的样子真是我见犹怜。她把这个角色的虚荣、沉溺、惊诧、彷徨演绎得非常到位，并因此获得奥斯卡最佳女主角提名。
除了男主角之外，这部戏里的大小主角配角或个性突出，或靓丽养眼，个个可圈可点，就算是女主角的女同学们也憨态可掬，我特别喜欢那个拉丁人面相的小女伴。
唯一不足的是剧本弱了些，比如家有妻室的David为什么要向小女孩求婚，这不是迟早要穿帮的吗？
这部片子也进一步验证了一条真理：电影（中国电影也许除外）里的每一个细节都是导演编剧刻意让观众看到的。比如David载女主角全家去订婚晚餐，路上开进Esso加油，我一边看一边想：看来这顿饭吃不成了。。。。。。果不其然。

梅兰芳

这部片子的几位配角都很出彩：王学圻的京韵口音、孙红雷的日益狂放、章子怡的明媚娇婉，可就是男主角太过温吞水。
从剧情结构来看，既缺少主人公成名前的奋斗，又缺少解放后的经历——敢情梅大师的艺术生命尽在民国绽放——这就使这部电影注定不如《霸王别姬》那样跌宕起伏、高潮迭起。
PS：在纽约的海报中，梅兰芳的名字居然是用拼音拼写的，让我恍若隔世。

这部片子当年肯定看过，但居然没有在历年影评中找到它，那就趁着重看一遍写两笔吧。
这可以归为一部公路片。瑜不掩瑕，其情节比较煽情，有些地方明显是在追求艺术片效果或者说冲着评奖去的（比如那场朵拉晕倒前的弥撒场景），得严肃批评一下；优点是对巴西乡村的草根式描绘非常生动——据说导演是拍纪录片出身。
看片子的时候同伴问我这部片有什么吸引人的，我说巴西人的生活很有意思，如此而已。
小男孩叫约书亚，他老爸叫耶稣，他俩哥哥叫摩西和以赛亚。我看到不少影评连篇累牍地挖掘其中的含义，比如有人声小男孩找老爸就是“寻找福音”，而最终找到了哥哥则说明他获得了“启示”。我觉得这完全不着调，纯粹是扯淡。导演编剧随手起的一串名字，就会被这些雕虫们肆意曲解，真是挺。。。有意思的。

影片展示了资本主义制度下广大社会底层妇女饱受身心摧残的悲惨现实，全面揭露了资本主义社会的腐朽本质，但也宣扬了资产阶级鼓吹的那套爱情至上观念，希望广大工农兵观众有选择性地观摩批判。

寅次郎的故事第30回：恋爱专家

1982年的作品，如今都可以当古装片看了
少女时代的田中裕子好好清纯耶，现如今《苍穹之昴》中慈禧的眉目之间依稀可以看到她三十年前的影子。
最搞笑的部分莫过于那段相亲，从寅次郎向三郎说戏，到寅次郎与三郎排练，再到寅次郎把台词完全颠覆，笑点不断，山田洋次也太能调动气氛了
一开始的串烧舞台剧，音乐结尾酷似《武田信玄》的片头曲，一看演职员表，果然是山本直纯的作品

隐剑鬼爪

看到很多熟面孔，很亲切！
中国影迷的老朋友、山田洋次的御用女星倍赏千惠子可真大牌，整场戏居然没给过观众一个正脸；
《三丁目的夕阳》男主角吉冈秀隆据说是倍赏千惠子的干儿子，没事就去其位于北海道的豪宅给老太太捶腿。这回在戏里演她的女婿，丈母娘看女婿想必是越看越欢喜的；
《大奥》和《天地人》里的高岛礼子扮演一位千方百计牺牲自己营救丈夫的传统日本女性典范，戏份不多，但我觉得比女主角还出彩；
其实这部戏我最期待的是老戏骨绪形拳，可惜他的戏份也不多，扮演的角色又太过卑劣猥琐。
山田洋次的这组幕末三部曲情节都很简单，重在通过细节表现特殊的时代、特殊的故事和特殊的感情。片中令人会心感叹的细节处理俯拾皆是，展现了日本电影的特点与水准。

狄仁杰之通天帝国

场面很宏大，一定在计算机上花了不少钱。

李冰冰色艺俱佳，只是不明白她怎么会莫名其妙爱上乏善可陈的刘德华。
刘嘉玲的表演中规中矩，最后半小时还算有张力。
邓超个性模糊，只有白化病比较抢眼。
逆党截获了邓超，非得让他活着见刘德华最后一面，还要把马和工程图留下。。。要不就是他们脑筋搭错，要么就是编剧熬夜太迟。
总的来说仍属很不错的娱乐片，有拍前传和续集的潜质。

郭涛和田原合唱的《为什么呢》从歌词到画面都超搞笑，不过和后面的串烧比起来就只能算是暖场了。这是全剧让我最忍俊不止的一段。
三个男人打蛋花那段有点重复，不再具有笑点，倒是苗圃瞪大眼睛冒出一句“狗日的”很有效果。苗圃在这部戏里可真算是不顾形象不计血本倾情演出。

南京！南京！

富有视觉冲击与情感震撼
范伟把小知识分子演得很到位，他的演艺事业终于有了一个良好的开端J
不过唐先生的死有点突兀，影片没有交代清楚他为什么要把生的希望让给一个未作铺陈的同事，也没有说明为什么日军必须枪毙他而不枪毙避难所里留下的其他中国职员——也许相关情节被亲爱的电影审查部门英明地删去了吧。
唐太太的戏份不多，却把人物形象勾勒得十分鲜明，范伟与秦岚可真是一对模范夫妻啊！
与其让高圆圆几次三番去认领“自己的男人”，最后为此送了命，为什么不发动在场的其他妇女去认领呢？
摄制组在长影搭建了一座废墟作为场景，可是它被翻来覆去地使用，貌似南京城就只有这么大。
民族屈辱感在日军入城式上达到了顶点：异族在我们的废墟上舞蹈，这正是陆川着力表现的。

喜宴
(The Wedding Banquet)

李安讲故事的特点是细腻，但细腻的故事往往容易发闷，所以李安的影片必须有很强的情节主线，否则就会拍成淡而无味的《推手》、《冰风暴》或者《卧虎藏龙》。《喜宴》和《饮食男女》的剧情编得跌宕起伏出人意料，加上李氏独有的众多暖人小细节，便能够从宏观到微观打动观众了。
郎雄老先生端的是演什么像什么，在《喜宴》中演一位退役师长，在饭店遇到旧部那一段，很有长官派头，与《饮食男女》中的大厨有天壤之别。
归亚蕾与赵文瑄母子在病房外对话那段长镜头从台词、表演到调度都很得宜，把母亲的心理逆转刻画得非常到位。
尽管影片表现的是同性恋，但由婚外情导致意外怀孕所带来的情感冲击与创伤是置之四海而皆准的。
这部影片拿到金熊奖可以说是名至实归。

李米的猜想

滤掉一切戏剧化的情节，这是一个很美好也很令人无奈的爱情故事。
真不觉得这部电影有什么特别的好（剧情太假，劫车篇幅太长，王宝强太傻，周迅太做作），但它恰恰撩动了我深埋心底的脆弱之弦——所以，就给个4分吧。
（太文艺腔了是吧：-）
说到文艺腔，那个戴着蛤蟆镜和披肩假发，操着夹生普通话念叨“湖底对自己是无底的/岸对自己也无岸”的家伙跳下立交桥真令人心情一振。这样的文艺青年（他的“诗”繁琐而罗嗦）世界上越少越好。

入殓师

表演很细腻：男主人公给逝者涂口红前，首先在自己手腕上试了一下。这个动作对女人固然很正常，但作为男人就相当少见，从而表现出他一丝不苟的专业精神；紧接着镜头拉向男主人公身后的社长，脸上露出一丝难以察觉的微笑，表现他对徒弟工作的认可。只一个镜头，两位主人公的内心世界跃然镜上。
剧本有点夸张：从小处来看，男主人公第一次处理遗体后去浴室洗澡，慌乱间香皂两次脱手。脱手一次已足以表现急躁心情，两次就过了；从大处来看，男主人公表示不愿去追悼撇下老婆孩子私奔的父亲，秘书立马现身说法，说她也曾经抛弃过幼女私奔。这个桥段虚假得过分，讲故事的痕迹太浓：一家三个人的微型公司，居然有两个人遭遇了家人因外遇而出走，几率未免太低了。
本木雅弘演这部片子真不容易，入殓与大提琴可都不是简单手艺。好在本木干得很不错，入殓的手法娴熟老道——随手就能将薄被整齐地折好，大提琴的揉弦也像模像样。
广末凉子演的女主人公是典型的日本好太太，对于丈夫失业、巨额借贷、搬回乡下老家均不置一词，微笑着相伴相随——问题在于，这样的珍稀物种这年头不是早已灭绝了吗:)
也许，应该归功于她是个技术背景的女生，比较朴实厚道吧:)
影片配乐很棒，一看演职员表，果然，照例是久石让的作品。
这部片子居然是在中国首映的（大连的金鸡百花电影节），当时的译名很冗长，叫《为逝者送行的人》。

Burn After Reading

科恩兄弟喜欢塑造“傻瓜”角色，影射现实中自以为是的人们：坚定地以为自己做出了正确决定，其实纯属头脑简单、偏执冲动。
总结一下，George Clooney是一个空心大萝卜，Brad Pitt整个一二愣子，Frances McDormand是典型的一根筋白痴女，Tilda Swinton是自私冷酷的bitch一条，John Malkovich可以放心地归类为疯子
整个片子就是一组残忍、利落、恶毒的笑话，但看起来真过瘾！

Chop Shop

一个非法移民童工的生活写真：
他为修车铺招揽生意打杂，有空有活时出去打份零工，有空没活时在地铁上扮失学儿童卖糖果，兼卖盗版DVD，
有时出去小偷小摸点东西回来三文不值两文卖点小钱；
总之他永远都在奔忙，努力攒钱想买辆流动餐车自己开个小买卖，却被人杀熟赚走了4500美元；
与不知什么关系的姐姐相依为命，这位姐姐社会交际品流复杂，白天在流动餐车里帮厨，晚上给男人干点口活挣钱；
修车一条街污水横流，各色外来移民勉力讨生活；
作为非法移民，他没有身份不能在银行开户，存了钱只能放在罐头里藏起来——金融服务匮乏啊；
最后，他撞破了姐姐上夜班，姐姐大怒；次日清晨，姐姐百无聊赖地坐在铺子门前；他拿玉米粒招来群鸽，逗她开心；姐姐往前迈步跺脚，群鸽惊起，影片嘎然而止。
记得的情节就是这些了。

Che Part II: Guerilla

Steven Soderbergh把传记片拍成了纪录片；Benicio Del Toro把他自己变成了格瓦拉。
影片看似平淡冗长，却紧紧抓住了观众的兴奋点，让观众的心情如格瓦拉领导的革命般走向低潮，又在低潮中保持着信念的力量。

3.5

John Rabe
（拉贝日记）

《拉贝日记》的成功之处在于：它是一部德国人拍的讲述德国人在南京大屠杀中经历的德国电影。影片没有哭着喊着向观众控诉日军的残忍和战争的丑恶，而是首先试图展示一个德国人在人道主义灾难降临之际的感受、反应、选择、行动和勇气，通过对渺小个体的刻画来展现宏大历史事件的一角，这是中国同类电影需要借鉴学习的。
拉贝思想斗争半天，拿出了五万多美元的积蓄捐给安全区买食物救急，临了抽了一叠自己留着——这个桥段非常真实地表现了人性，在我们国家的电影里估计看不到。
张静初的故事比较离奇。如果追逐她的日军士官单枪匹马，我还可以勉强接受；可影片安排一个没摸过枪的孩子弹无虚发连杀两人，这就仿佛令人置身于童话世界——南京大屠杀当然不是一个童话。
日本演员方面，香川照之演绎的亲王形象入木三分，其他则马马虎虎。那个小濑少佐明显是虚构的人物，影片没有为他配置足够的资源，观众也就难以信服这样的人物在现实中存在。

熟悉的布宜诺斯艾利斯街道、恬静的巴里洛奇湖区，不时让我想起雅致而不失活力的阿根廷；而马丘比丘附近突兀山丘与如镜平原组成的山谷地形则再次让我对秘鲁产生了浓厚兴趣。

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

这部《哈利波特与混血王子》情节比较散，缺乏主线，要不是最后Snape莫名其妙跳出来承认他就是混血王子，观众可能早就忘记了这个标题。
《混血王子》是哈利波特大结局之前的承前启后之作，作用不在于讲述一个相对独立的故事，而是为大结局做好铺垫。所以，电影拍成这么半半拉拉，一多半是J.K. Rowling的过错，同时也得怪编剧和导演过于死脑筋，把电影当电视剧拍。
依我看，反正最后一部要拍上下集，还不如连着这一部拍上中下集更有意义。

太阳照样升起
(The Sun Also Rises)

这是一部生气勃勃的悲剧。影片中弥漫着姜文式的英雄主义气息，但最终，一切美好的东西都毁灭于无形。
片名的隐喻出现在片尾：婴儿降生于一片唯美的花海中，一轮朝阳在戈壁上跃起。但从故事结构来看，这其实是故事的开始。故事的真正结局是一声枪响、生命的终结以及纯真浪漫爱情的幻灭。所以，故事要表达的并不是经过了这一切后太阳照样升起，而是太阳曾经如此美好地升起过。
无论是戈壁的婚礼狂欢、陈冲的千娇百媚（BTW：陈冲与黄秋生在病床边的那场对话更像话剧而不像电影）还是周韵的疯癫与坚韧，影片都表现得很到位，在场景调度和剧情节奏上，姜文的导演才能通过这部电影得到了充分释放。
配乐很出色，原来是久石让的作品，难怪。
你可以说这部电影了无新意，是在用《Pulp Fiction》
的旧瓶装伤痕文学的旧酒。但至少，这是个很有意思的旧瓶，很有回味的旧酒，组合成一部很好看的电影。谁说好电影都得横空出世，带动一轮新浪潮？
据说公映时许多观众反映看不懂，要求重放一遍。脉络如此清晰、诉求如此明确的一部影片，如果都看不懂，重放一遍我看也不会有什么帮助。那样的一小撮人民群众还是回家坐在沙发上一边看电视节目一边淌着口水打盹儿去吧。

Carrie: I am someone who is looking for love, real love，ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love.
Carrie: I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.

剧本编得不错，巧妙地给负心汉编织了完美的籍口——Well，还是我的那句口头禅：天下的男人就没一个好的！

朱茵同学怎么就突然老得不能看了，我一直把梁洛施当成了朱茵，还傻乎乎地赞叹化妆师的功力呢，最后才知道原来朱茵演的是小徐的老妈。

永远的三丁目的夕阳
(Always Sunset on Third Street)

我是先看第二集后才回过头来看的第一集，感觉不如第二集——也许是因为许多情节已经知道了——主要原因是第一集非常“漫画化”，对情感的挖掘不如第二集那么细腻；第一集取得成功后，第二集制作起来就有了比较明朗的风格，不像第一集尚处于摸索阶段。
扮演淳之介富商老爸的小日向文世在2007年的大河剧《风林火山》中演过取访赖重，也就是后来断送武田家族的武田信赖的外公，也是个小配角。小日向文世长着一张让你看见就想踢上一脚的脸，他扮演的角色自杀也好、受挫也好，正好可以满足现代文明人的潜在兽欲——多么高尚的演员啊！

除了敦刻尔克的长镜头以及女作家最后揭示男女主角的真实命运略微震撼人心以外，片子整体上比较平庸，与媒体的热捧相去甚远。
倒是在Yahoo上看到一个美国人的影评很咂劲：
Obviously I’m too shallow and obtuse to grasp this fine artistic masterpiece the pros saw. What a waste. Guess I’ll sit home and wait for Transformers II...
还有个哥们说：
Oscar nomination? Are you kidding?

Obsluhoval Jsem Anglického Krále
（我伺候过英国国王）

中欧的片子比较另类，这一部是奔着奥斯卡最佳外语片去的。风趣幽默固然有之，可看性也不错，但深度明显不够，主人公撒硬币引人出丑的桥段重复太多，太不可信。另外，它的片名实在有点偏题。

导演Francis Ford Coppola让自己的女儿Sofia演教父的女儿实在是个失败，倒是Bridget Fonda演的美女记者的傲人身材叫人眼前一亮，不愧是名门之后。
再就是得表扬一下Talia Shire，在第一集里她被当导演的哥哥塞进来跑龙套，演一个丑陋而单薄的幼齿，在第二集里演一个空虚少妇，到了第三集成了丰采内敛的雍容老妇，沉着自若地毒死了自己的教父。Two Thumbs Up, Talia!

天与地

除了堪称恢宏的混战场景——并非用电脑特技生成，而是雇了三千多群众演员用一个多月拍出来的——这部电影实在没有什么值得称道之处。
第四次川中岛合战是早已被日本人拍滥了的故事，战役始末观众都很清楚。以我看过的三个版本而言，在战略描述与过程交代方面，《武田信玄》最差，讲了半天连什么叫“啄木鸟战法”都没说明白，《天与地》勉强把故事讲清楚了，但仍不如2007年的大河剧《风林火山》；在情节方面，《天与地》莫名其妙地杜撰了宇佐美乃美这个人物以及她与上杉谦信之间若有若无的情感戏，又加入了上杉与武田在雪中邂逅、上杉射杀武田侧室八重等桥段，但这些枝节对整个剧情并没有产生什么影响，纯属画蛇添足；
在人物刻画方面，除了两位主人公，《天与地》中的人物都很模糊，如山本勘助，如武田信繁，如宇佐美定满，如柿崎景家。影片似乎想要表现这些重要人物的性格，但在如此浩大的战争画卷中显得无能为力，这些人物的相关情节因此成为不得不说的鸡肋故事。相比之下，《武田信玄》与《风林火山》要强得多，譬如《武田信玄》中山本勘助主动断后自我牺牲或者《风林火山》大结局中山本勘助一袭皂袍突入敌阵的形象令人印象深刻——当然，它们是电视剧，具有篇幅上的优势；
最后，在战争场景方面，《天与地》的确称得上是电影史上屈指可数的宏篇巨作，在加拿大的如火枫林与辽阔原野上拍摄外景，耗资20亿日元，即使拿到18年后的今天也是个天文数字；但两部大河剧以较小的视角较小的成本同样成功地演绎了这场激战——拍摄战争场景并非一定要动用成百上千人员然后用直升机航拍长镜头慢慢推，关键是导演的想象力和摄影师的独特眼光，而《天与地》显然欠缺这两项。

1.5

Uzicka Republika
（67天）

这是部74年的老片子，与《黑名单上的人》同一个年代，里面还有《黑》中的特务头子和德国将军的女儿，分别饰演保皇军头目和女游击队员。
南斯拉夫片在表现战争场面时很有一套，讲究细节，也很真实，值得一看。但这部接近三小时的戏整体上比较拖沓，重点不突出，完全可以快进着看。结尾部分处理得不错，壮烈牺牲的老面包师所抚养的儿童以及在战火中迅速成长起来的一对游击队伴侣幸存了下来，在铁托的领导下走上了新的征途，给予观众以希望。无论观看过程中打了多少个哈欠，只要最后令人振奋就好——反正观众都是健忘的

小武

影片讲述一个小偷挣扎在社会底层的生存状态，大致可以分为三大板块：小武向友情、爱情和亲情寻找慰藉，但先后碰壁，“事业转型”的昔日同伙拒绝接受他的结婚礼金；看似结交于贫贱的歌厅女友无声无息地弃他而去；他把没来得及送出手的金戒指送给父母，却被张罗着给二儿子娶城里媳妇的父母当作镀金戒指转眼间戴到了媳妇手上，还操起棒子骂他忤逆不孝把他赶出了家门
片尾营造了一连串黑色幽默：小武正在紧张“工作”，女友联络他用的呼机突然响起，导致小武被捕，收到的却不过是条天气预报；民警好心给被拘捕的小武打开电视，新闻里播放的却是“惯犯梁小武”被人民群众抓获大快人心的采访报道；而在这个最不如意的时刻，居然终于收到了失踪数日的女友发来的一条意在表达歉意与祝福的信息：祝你万事如意！
两条语录：
基斯洛夫斯基：摄影机越接近现实越有可能接近虚假
贾樟柯：由纪实技术生产出来的所谓真实，很可能遮蔽隐藏在现实秩序中的真实。而方言、非职业演员、实景、同期录音直至长镜头并不代表真实本身，有人完全有可能用以上元素按方配制一副迷幻药，让你迷失于鬼话世界

The Passion of the Christ

The movie is ranked high because it could solicit thoughts:
The regrettable human nature that people always abuse their power to suppress different faith has never changed. What did change, to our comfort, is that people nowadays suppress pagan in a less brutal way, but not much less;
The Jewish police must have been poorly trained, who were low in both efficiency and morale. With armor and weapon they were injured by bare fisted detainees. This was probably due to the status of their colonized nation;
Democracy based on uneducated mass could be easily maneuvered by their populist leaders;
It is very likely that early Christianity preachers made up the story that Roman governor refused to execute Jesus Christ, so as to facilitate their missionary work to Roman Empire.
As in any ancient civilization, the city is shabby but public architecture, especially temple, castle and palace, was grand. This reminds me that the wealth of nation couldn't be merely judged by magnificent public building, which even a weak nation would squeeze its people to own.

The son's Oriental, especially Chinese, cultural background not at all affects the plot, obviously intended just to add some exotic element. The ending is hasty. The Chinese music it employed was horribly grass-root, to use a nice word. Generally, it's a pleasantly made farce.

2.8

暖

(Nuan)

I was more than often confused between reality and remembrance. The director should have done something to differentiate them.

2.8

春桃
(One Woman For Two)

The simple story could have been better elaborated

2.7

半生缘

(Eighteen Springs)

Too many irrelevant branches are involved. The main story was unavoidably eroded

2.7

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The screenplay didn't clearly tell the audience that Harry's father and the three others were best friends, who often turned into various animals;
The new director bears a quite different style in presenting only plot that he thought to be important, as well as in focusing on details he regards as crucial;
Daniel, Emma and Rupert are all growing up, while Dumbledore is obviously getting decrepit in this episode...
All these factors affects. And what used to be so perfect a movie series of Harry Potter therefore might seem quite different to some if not most.
None the less, if one never watched the first two episodes, he might like this one. After all, it's often our conservatism that refrain ourselves from appreciating novelty.

2.6

晚春
(Late Spring)

A classic Japanese movie. But the pace is too slow!

2.6

My Cousin Vinny

The horrible thing is: our lawyer friend told us that such lawyer does exist, everywhere!

2.5

变脸

(The King of Masks)

A nice story but not a great movie.

2.5

On the Waterfront

Cannot understand why this mediocre movie was ranked top ten in US movie history

2.4

Lagaan: Once Upon A Time in India

The good thing is that it doesn't have that much boring dance, (but nonetheless incurably lengthy); the bad thing is that it chose too ugly Britons (the caricatured captain has no eye while Elizabeth has no neck). The trio dance between the Indian couple and Eliz is not like a farce, but rather, is a farce.

2.4

手机

Cell phone simply fails to improve communication between us

2.3

自娱自乐

一盘没有下完的棋

（An Unfinished Chess Game）

Classics are not necessarily good, like this one. Its flashback structure is poorly organized.

2.1

We Are Soldiers

The problem with this vague war movie is that I don't know what it wants to say. What kept haunting me is: what if VietCom had the same firepower as US did?

2.1

战国英豪/武士勤王记

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

1.9

秋天的童话

（An Autumn's Tale）

1.9

燕尾蝶

(Swallow-tailed Butterfly)

The central point of this surreal movie is: you might be a caterpillar wriggling in mud, but you are by nature to be a beautiful butterfly. You might never become one, but you always are.

1.8

风月

(Temptress Moon)

An absurd story

1.7

The Last Samurai

Several fundamental and fatal errors committed by either side:
Why didn't Omura also arrest Katsumoto's guards when he arrested the Katsumoto?
Why didn't Omura investigate in advance the terrain behind the hill that Katsumoto ambushed his troops?
Why did Omura order his infantry to march without artillery clearing the enemy position?
Why did Katsumoto order his cavalry to charge? The reason they managed to broke through for a while was that their enemy firepower was not enough. After Omura used machinegun, the battle became a massacre.
Conclusion: it's a very stupid movie.

1.7

日本之夜与雾
（Japan in Night and Fog）

This movie spent two hours to show commonsense about students’ political movement, which makes me recall TianAnMen Crashdown of China. They are simply unable to accomplish anything but capable enough to spoil everything.

1.6

Master and Commander: The Far Side of The World

This movie doesn't make much sense at all. I don't know what's it talking about.

1.6

芬妮的微笑
(On the Other Side of the Bridge)

This is a movie that its leading role actor criticized it during its preview. What a waste of such a good topic.

The Pianist

The director dealt with every detail with great delicacy. Just one example, note the German officer arranged his uniform right after rising from his seat?

Being John Malkovich

Among the most creative movies, it's a mind storm to the audience.

4.9

The Hours

Probably the best feminism movie ever made. The three actresses are excellent, so are its actors; the photography linkage between three stories are natural and pleasant; the language used in three ages are genuine; and the some of them are soul stirring. I treat it as an epic.
BTW, the final music is so touching as if it's composed for the movie.

4.8

The Shawshank Redemption

The mutual mishap with Shawshank and Pulp Function was that they came in the same year with Forest Gump.

4.8

Pulp Fiction

The dialogue is the most intriguing part of this movie

4.7

The Platoon

Oliver Stone successfully showed the terrific expertise of US army as to kill civilians as well as to frame up fellow soldiers. When you see Willem DaFoe shot by own people and deserted to Vietnamese for slaughter, you start to understand what does "leave nobody behind" really mean.

4.6

Sleepless Seattle

After ten years, it's still so attractive and touching a movie!

4.5

Matrix Reloaded

Besides its excellent action design and visual effect, One must adopt a philosophy layer of view to appreciate the whole story structure. For example, the self-called "architect" is in another sense what people trust as God.
Now I am keen to see the third episode so as to learn what kind of ending the storyteller is going to give us. Will Zeon survive (of course it will) and more important, will it prevail. If it prevails, doesn't it mean the mankind has to sacrifice modern life for so-called freedom from being controlled by the Matrix?
Let's get the answer soon.

4.5

终极无间
(Infernal Affairs III)

Nowadays you need a DVD so that you could watch a movie several times before you are able to put together all the threads and understand the whole story. Generally, Infernal Affairs III bears a similar story style like The Others, in the way that the story was told from the other side. The main bug is: why didn't Chen turned to Yang to restore his identity as a policeman in Infernal Affair.

4.4

无间道 II
(Infernal Affairs II)

Compared with its predecessor this episode is much better in the sense that the whole story is tight and consistent. The performance is excellent, especially those of 黄秋生, 曾志伟 and 吴振宇.

4.3

Training Day

Denzel Washington deserved his Academy Reward with his incredible performance in this movie. The contrast between he hug his pal and shoot him soon after is astounding. And there are so many details making this movie worthwhile of being watched again. One more question: is LAPD really so infamous? Remember LA Confidential and Blue Streak?

4.2

Fanfan

A distinctive French romance. You can feel something in common between this 1993 movie and the 2001 Amelie

4.1

异度空间

A good ghost movie without any ghost.

4.0

Four Feathers

A must-see for people from nations once invaded by Britons. The spectacular battle in Sudan desert between armed-to-teeth brutal intruders and brave hearts for freedom can satisfy any soul thirsty for revenge.

The music drama is marvelous. I just don't understand why it was Catherine who received the Oscar. And finally both Grace and I find Rene Zellweger is too flat.

Seems he's not good at disguising a doctor.

3.9

回家过年

(Seventeen Years)

Short story illustrates genuine human nature: in a two-single-parent-family, one daughter inadvertently killed the other thus was sent to prison for life. After 17 years behind the bars she was permitted to return home for new year's eve, a traditional date for family reunion. How should she face her parents who lost respective daughters all at once and have live in darkness and hatred for 17 years?

Finally every family member gave in to compromise each other, and that's probably what family reunion actually means.

3.8

Analyze This

Excellent comedy with cunning slang.

3.8

Johnny English

Probably the best farce of the year. You can hardly watch any more amusing coronation elsewhere. But dun expect the story to be foolproof.

3.7

Matrix Revolutions

The One must speak good English, like the daughter but not the Indian father; old woman ought to die; high tech kills more efficiently; two great souls never merge; but why don't the machine destroy Zion?

3.7

无间道
(Infernal Affairs)

A quite tight story as it is, it still bears several links that you need to deduce so as to make the whole thing flows. For example, you need to assume Liu and Liang plotted to broadcast in radio that the dead goon is an agent, and the goon was shot during the fight. It's not at all told clearly.

3.6

Lust och Fägring Stor

(All Things Fair)

Outstanding description of queer relations between a handsome boy in puberty, a lonely wife starving for sex and an artistic husband in career crises. The wave came when the husband got frightened at the news of nylon popularity; the boy comforted him by caressing his head and the wife waiting in the bedroom for the boy.

3.6

Aladdin

Very nice visual effect, and help me to know it's Al-laddin

3.5

Amelie

Several points I still don't understand: how does that toy travel around the world and how could Amelie observe couples who are at orgasm. And is this Hollywood or France style?

大醉拳

英雄

(Hero)

It's sound for Hero to state the fact that super power sacrifices partial interest of some people to achieve the maximal benefit obtained from unification. I noticed there was noise from losers, especially HK, opposing it. But fact remains fact.

It's also a visual feast.

2.8

向左转向右转

The stupid ending is a fly in the ointment that totally destroyed the implicit beauty of the story

2.8

Gangs of New York

Tedious story. Good cast. Excellent costume and makeup.

Although proving a decreasing quality of its serial, Red Dragon is a nice thriller except for its superfluous ending which demonstrates a typical Hollywood stubborn ailment

2.6

Scared Silent

It reflects the real world, although makes you very sad. The true life is just like that.

2.6

Birthday Girl

You can see how impotent this guy is: he's always led by others. It's interesting to watch how the couple criticized each other, especially the wife's fight back, on their way to airport, and finally deserted the car out of no reason. The funniest scene came when the guy tried to threaten the Russian using a fake gun and was instantly recognized by him since he himself bought it. Laugh to death!

2.5

Toy Story II

Delightful cartoon

2.5

The Sixth Sense

The whole assumption lies in that the dead don't see what they don't want to see.

2.4

Adaptation

This movie starts from a footage in Being John Malkovich, whose screenwriter was assigned a new book called The Orchid Thief. He found there is no story in this book and he cannot do his job. Then his twin who newly became a Hollywood-style screenwriter taught him to add sex, drug and gun into the script. The two of them then start off to a trip which really unfold such stuff with the movie.

The point is: you must keep in mind that this movie is telling you how this movie was concocted.

2.4

2.3

8 Mile

8 Mile is a street in Detroit suburb where the low-income families stay. Eminem is a mold worker living with his mum and sister. His aging mum was abandoned by her young boyfriend and soon degraded to a hooker; his sister scared by the terrible fight constantly happening to this family; he himself drove his mum's shabby car with black pals lingering around.
His life is dim, work dead-end. He develops fast affair with a girl but only to see her making love with others soon after. He is left to sing hip-rap, but failed to make any sound during first performance. What he gonna do? Watch it!

2.3

A River Runs Through It

Tom Hanks seems to have been definitized as a "good fellow" even when he's a total hitman in this revenge story. Excuses are provided for whatever he did: he worked for a crime syndicate so as to support the family; he killed the messenger so as to protect his kid and himself; he massacred his old fellows as well as his boss Paul Newman so as to revenge for what happened to his own family...... Nobody blames Tom Hanks, since the audience takes it for granted that he wouldn't bully civilians as all other hitmen did; the messenger was useful only before he conveyed the message; and of course all the bodyguards except Tom Hanks should be killed.

La Grande Vadrouille

(虎口脱险)

Eternal comedy masterpiece!

4.9

Anna & King

The movie has nothing but two stars, and that's well enough

4.8

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

The movie loyally sticks to every detail of the original work. How long will the following ones take?

4.7

A Knight's Tale

Chaucer's final speech is splendid.

The funny words came from the king: after careful investigation I found out he's blahblahblah

4.7

鸦片战争

琦善这个八旗官僚形象塑造得很好

4.6

双旗镇刀客

The best Chinese swordman movie I've ever seen

4.5

Shall We Dance

 

4.4

Run Lola Run

Creative! Problem finally solved in most unlikely way

4.3

Rat Race

Best comedy of the year. Fantastic collection of great comedians

4.2

Contact

What a concise but cool ending!

4.1

Rain man

It's five years after I first watched this movie on the campus of TongJi Univ. Movie should be moving, this is the simple conclusion I drew fro this masterpiece.

4.0

Mummy Return

A visual feast

3.9

Cast Away

Fake story but true human nature, when Tom Hanks cried for losing Wilson and walked in rain after meeting ex-wife

3.9

Meet Parents

Excellent comedy second only to Rat Race

3.8

Full Mounty

The version I watched in Singapore was cut thus it has a strangely concise ending

3.8

The Quick & the Dead

Of very few good movie from Sharon Stone. She's even sexier in this movie than in Instinct. Russell Crowe and Gene Hackman are also terrific

3.7

Apollo 13

We call it "groundless courage"

3.7

重庆森林
(Chungking Express)

I started to like Wong Kar Wai from this movie

3.6

A.I.

Like most reviewers, I love the part before he was deserted. In the first part although it's a science fiction, we can understand and accept everything happened. After that, the plot is out of the control of audience but totally manipulated by the storyteller. We are sitting there listening to a fantastic story

3.6

Patriot

Superb war stage. One thing I don't understand: how come the guerrilla failed to notice they were already encircled before they ambushed the wagons, and how did the Britons learn where the ambush would take place？

3.5

What Women Want

Adults's fairy tale

3.5

The Sphere

 

3.4

Dragon Heart

Even Sean Connery's voice alone is appealing enough to pull me into watching it

3.4

Violet

Spielberg rarely waste film as his Hollywood fellows always do. Such a plain story of a African countrywoman so vividly reflects a wide history picture of how African women improved their social rights. Original work is written by AliceWalk who got Pulitzer Prize for it

3.3

First Knight

How could the enemy so easily penetrated into the castle?

3.3

生死抉择

Touching original work and successful translation into movie.

3.2

One Fine Day

This is the real Pretty Woman

3.2

陌生人

Plain but moving kid's movie

3.1

Hannibal

The first part in Italy was masterpiece, especially in the church

3.1

少林足球
(ShaoLin Soccer)

Best Chinese comedian of the year

3.0

Bridal of Chucky

It's really funny to watch this killer-toy

3.0

Rush Hour II

Is Zhang Ziyi always a vase?

2.9

American Pie II

No longer a mere comedy as the first one, American Pie II is deeper digging into these kids. But why the mother is still hot?

2.9

南京大屠杀

Good description of the Taiwanese soldier and the Sino-Japanese marriage

2.8

Moulin Rouge

An old-style but still attractive story. Nicole Kidman has got a talent for singing

2.8

Jurassic Park III

Nothing but special effects

2.8

特务迷城
(An Accidental Spy)

Lousy story, old Jacky Chan

2.7

Almost Famous

The choice to tell the story from a boy's view is successful

2.7

The Cell

Terrific visual effect

2.6

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

The actors are great. The visual effect is great. But both are wasted by the tedious and naïve story

2.6

瘦身男女

(Love on a Diet)

The same critics applies to all such HK movies: too dramatics above reality

2.5

The Exorcist

The story is totally nonsense

2.5

Broken Arrow

The lessen we learned again and again from Hollywood is: show no mercy to good men

2.5

Sabrina

原来这就是为宋昊所不齿的《新龙凤配》

2.4

American Sweetheart

A mediocre story deriding arrogant movie star

2.4

刺秦

 

2.3

Bone Collector

 

2.3

Kiss of the Dragon

The Paris prostitute is more lovely than Jet Li

2.3

同居密友

(Fighting for Love)

Sammi Cheng has fixed her style, which is not good for her further development in movie

2.2

Legally Blonde

I watched this movie in midnight, I kept awake, thus I don't want to rate it too low

2.2

Face Off

Hollywood fantasy

Its greatest feature is that you never remember the story

The Specialist

Once upon a time there were so many bombers in the screen

The reason why it's still afloat is for the beautiful prairie

Striptease

If you come for it's name, you'll be disappointed,
if you come for plot, you'll be disappointed again,
if you come for Demi Moore, she's always the same.

0.7

The Animal

Obviously targeted to poorly-educated audience

花样年华
(In the Mood for Love)

 

4.9

La Vita E Bella

(Life is Beautiful)

I cannot call it black humor since it's still showing you the bright side of the life: the great vitality of human being. The gun shot after the father was pushed into a room was the most shocking scene.

4.8

活着

He's not fortunate; he's not unlucky. It's just too much incidents happened to the same person in a great changing times. He might wishes these things never happened, but that's the life, and that's what the movie talking about.

4.7

The Graduate

What do you remember of this movie, the bang of the door in hotel, Hoffman kissing Ross in their blind date, or they sat musing in the back of bus at the end?

4.6

Meet Joe Black

Claire Forlani is so alluring

4.4

阿郎的故事
(All About AhLang)

这该是我看过最好的周润发的片子了。英雄本色和喋血双雄只是很棒的枪战片，论演技以此片为佳

4.1

Gladiator

How come the general's wife looks like Spanish? She should be a Roman origin, isn't she?

3.9

American Pie

Someone said US high schools are like zoo:-)

3.8

American Beauty

The image of the officer's wife impressed me most!

3.7

Blue Streak

Best comedy of the year. Now I see why experienced criminal often became successful police finally.

3.7

一声叹息

What genuine description of life and human nature!

3.6

Wild Wild West

The special effect is cool, especially the giant robot. Still wondering how Will Smith and Kevin Kline got rid of the stuff on their necks.

3.5

小倩

Quite nice cartoon. It's a pity I never see other HK digital cartoon created

3.5

一见钟情
(Sausalito)

固然比不上《甜蜜蜜》，但张曼玉与黎明在这部戏里的配合依然很默契

3.4

Fire Light

Pure!

3.4

我的父亲母亲

The past is colorful

3.3

There is Something About Mary

Again I unfortunately watched the cut and dull Singaporean version

3.3

孤男寡女

(Needing You)

The remote instruction at an Indian restaurant is funny. The motorist is low IQ, spoiling the already hyperbolized story.

3.2

阿飞正传
(Days of Being Wild)

This is a cool collection of big stars second only to 东邪西毒

3.1

春光乍泄
(Happy Together)

Two gays's experiences in south America

3.0

Mask of Zorro

Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones are the only selling points of this mediocre action movie

2.9

夏日的麽麽茶

(Summer Holiday)

That the guy is a rich man is really clumsy. More awkward is that Sammi so easily created a successful career in Japan.

2.8

小亲亲

Who have the last English song? It's so beautiful

2.7

Alien Resurrection

Breath-holding

2.7

审死官

A good ending to the wave of movies of this kind

2.5

卧虎藏龙
(Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon)

Anyone tell me why it's so popular?

2.5

Jurassic Park II: The Lost World

It's against the natural law to help a naturally hurt animal. And that caused all the trouble.

2.4

ConAir

 

2.4

The Fifth Element

Stupid story

2.3

Chicken Run

The bad thing is that there is no good US cartoon in 2000

2.3

Nutty Professor II

The cool part is when so many Eddie Murphy sitting around the dining table

2.2

Scream III

Dead man rising again in the end.

2.1

Man in Black

I remember this movie only because of Guggenheim

2.1

One thing definitely impossible is its sequel of MI III

1.8

US Marshal

 

1.7

西域雄狮

 

1.6

星际战士奇遇记

Some Japanese are so naive to be coaxed into such childish comparison and believe it's true

1.5

Autumn in New York

Obsolete Joan Chen plus old Richard Gere plus frog-eyed Winona Ryder make this hypocritical movie

1.5

Perfect Storm

The version I watched has very poor audio and its subtitles delayed, thus I can never catch what they were talking aboutL

1.4

宝莲灯

Poor imitation of Disney cartoon

1.3

Lion King II

You can see how Americans view others: only they are staying in bright land of milk and honey, others are all aliens and should stay in darkness and desert;

You can see their government structure: the citizens help the king, who hunts on them for daily food, to attack a lonely outsider, and when lots of outsiders invaded they fled away;

You also see how stupid the story is: after a severe fighting, after a land-sliding victory, all evil lions just simply defected to Simba, who had been their enemy for life.

And note the son shows no sorrow to his mother's death.

If I were a father I won't let my kids watch such nonsense.

1.2

神龙教

周星驰的搞笑垃圾片

Reeves, don't get together with Hickman otherwise you yourself will also get lifelong bad luck in your career

1.1

Gone in 60 Seconds

Nicolas Cage is destroying his image with such junk movie

1.0

Lion King I

It has all the ridiculous problems as its second session. And one more, Simba almost won the fight by himself. You can see that the amount of troops are totally irrelevant here.
