Have you ever seen Django Unchained?

Have you ever seen Django Unchained?

If you have not, I must insist, please, watch the movie!

It is one of the best Tarantino's movies. Mr. Tarantino thought through the plot very carefully. No wonder that he got an Oscar and other supreme awards for the screenplay of Django.

After such a successful cooperation with Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds Tarantino decided to continue cooperating with this talented actor. Doctor Schultz, the new character of Christoph Waltz, was written amazingly good, thoroughly. So Christoph Waltz transformed into this character completely.

At first sight, harmless and considerate doctor turns out to be a hunter for wanted men on purpose to kill them in exchange for money afterwards. “It is flesh for cash business”, as he said himself.

Despite of seeming cruelness of the doctor, he sympathizes with Django's fate, a slave, who was separated with his wife by their owner's will. Therefore, King Schultz suggests to Django (played by Jamie Foxx) keep on hunting wanted men together and find his wife. Meanwhile, Django already obtains his own freedom thanks to the doctor. 

Finally, they succeeds to find out further destiny of Brunhilda, Django's wife. She is one of the slaves of Calvin Candie, savage and cruel plantation owner in the South. Consequently, the team consisting of the doctor and Django goes for Calvin Candie to buy Brunhilda, but they understand that they need very gentle approach in this case on purpose not to scare him away from selling Brunhilda. Ingenious Schultz outlines the plan of actions and fun begins.

In addition to Calvin Candie, starring by Leonardo Di Caprio, it is a very controversial character, but no doubt, he is vile, self-indulgent, narcissistic and racist character though. Nonetheless, Leonardo Di Caprio did a magnificent job! There was no trace of lovely Leo, there was only that evil Calvin, who you want to hate. Moreover, during one scene Leonardo hurt his hand badly but ignored this fact, continued acting and even involved his own blood into the scene. Needless to say, it was the most powerful episode in the film.

If I did not say enough to persuade you to see the film, I do not know what to say further.. Just watch! You will have no regrets after!  

Columbo + Sherlock Holmes = Patrick Jane ?

There are a lot of detective series in the world, however, just a few of them are truly remarkable. What does make them be so? Perhaps, complex criminal narratives, bewildering turns of events, but first of all, it is a main character, the detective, the one, who solves all mysteries.

To make up this character is not an easy task. This man should be an engrossing, absorbing one and no doubt very memorable.

When it comes to famous detectives, I immediately recall Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. They are so well-known, that there is no need to introduce both of them. Personally, lieutenant Columbo is my third favorite detective. This character is remarkable indeed. At first you notice just his sloppy appearance and a bit silly face, after - his liking for talking about his wife and then Bam! - he solved a crime. It turned out that all his stupid questions had a cause. Despite a lasting impression of a fool man, he has keen mind, meticulous and scrupulous approach in all his investigations.

I am of opinion that Patrick Jane (“The Mentalist”) is very close to Columbo character. Needless to say, that Mr. Jane has completely different background, nevertheless his methods, appearance and tendency to prevent being silly are referred us to the famous lieutenant. However, Mr Jane is not a police officer and due to his character he tends to act beyond the law by time to time. Moreover, he likes to provoke people rudely to make them show their true faces. These and a few other features are similar to Sherlock Holmes.

Anyway, Patrick Jane is very memorable character, who you like to observe and sympathize with.

Unfortunately, all seasons of “The Mentalist” released. On the other hand, if you have never watched this series, go ahead. 7 seasons are await you.

It is worth of watching.

In the Middle

Have you ever wanted to make an about-turn, forget about your daily problem and focus on someone else's troubles? I bet you wanted! Perhaps, it is one of the best ways to bestir yourself!

It might go even better if you can watch all this on your TV sitting at your cozy sofa at home with your favorite snack. Then you need just one – turn on TV to watch “In the middle”.

Frankly, I took up this TV series to fill the silence gap doing my household chores. But after some time I started sympathize with Franky, main female character, who is coping with everyday routine, getting by on little money, trying with her husband to bring up three their kids. I developed my liking for this series so far. They all face up with concerns which you faced some time ago. Every character seems very familiar and close, whereas they are so different.

The cast are doing a great job. 

By the way, if you were watching the Scrubs one day, you might want to start watching ''In the middle”, because one of the main actors from that TV series turned out here.

To make it short, “In the middle” is nice and kind TV series to watch.  

Inglourious Basterds

I know, perhaps, I am a bit obsolete.. but till this night I had never seen that movie. And.. I've realized that it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life!

Inglourious Basterds is an outstanding movie!

I even cannot tell what exactly I liked the most. I have nothing but praise!

 Above all, I must admit - Tarantino is incredibly gifted screenwriter and director! Judging by Basterds he put a lot of efforts in writing the screenplay. His holistic and meticulous approach is noticeable. It is hard to imagine how much time did he spend on writing the script.

 When it comes to the cast, I am full of praise for Christoph Waltz, who was magnificent as Hans Landa. Undoubtedly, he is extremely talented actor! And no wonder that he won a lot of praises for this role. The character made by him was precise, convincing, sparkling! It was such a pleasure to see him playing despite the fact that his character was negative one.

 Also, I cannot dismiss a role of Brad Pitt! It goes without saying, that he did a great job as well, however, the most striking for me was his his accent! Adorable! If I hadn't heard any American speaking, I would have thought that this is how all Americans are talking!

 Of course, all the cast did an amazing job! All actors were on their places. I mean that I cannot imagine other actors in these roles. Perhaps, it is a merit of the director too, who did all right.

 Generally speaking, the plot is intriguing, provoking an interest, carrying viewers with it. During the movie I was wondering – what is going to happen next? So the film captured all my attention. I even was afraid of breathing to not miss any important details. And in the end, I stood up and gave a big clap as a sign of respect to the crew, to the outstanding movie!

 I was not focus on historical, moral or whatever aspect of the story. I watched it as a story which was made up by one genius.

I hope, I inspired you to see the film! Believe me, it is worth it!

The Hidden Truth

If you are fond of psychological thrillers and searching for a new one to see, you would be interested in seeing a colombian thriller "The Hidden Face" (also known as "Bunker" or "Inside"). 

At first, you might be struck be a slowly moving plot. Perhaps, you will not even think of this movie as a horror one till its middle, however, keep watching and you will be rewarded. A turn of the plot will be absolutely unforeseen. 

Meanwhile, you will have a chance to look at the beginning of a love stiry, which has one dostinguished feature. The guy is a suspect in a case of his ex-girlfriend's disappearance. Would it scare you off from the guy, if you were this girl? 

Overall, if you like thrillers without blood but with psychological strain and unpredictable ending, you will love this movie. Personally, I would definitely recommend seeing it.
