“Choke” is a Movie Based on a Book

27 Apr

The second movie based on a novel by the cult writer Chuck Palahniuk is a very unconventional story, but the film is not so unusual. Anyway if you like to watch movies online based on books don’t miss this one . Chuck Palahniuk’s “Choke” is a book that inspired the debut as a director of Clark Gregg, but all the fans of the great Portland’s writer were expecting something different. Gregg merely tells the story, but didn’t think about the very meaning of the story. In the book you can read about the need for everyone to put aside the superstructure imposed by society and start with the basics of humanity, but in the movie this concept is addressed here without conviction. The sensation you feel at the end of the movie is the same you can get at the end of the movie version of “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, the Douglas Adams’s cult novel. You can perceive that there are many narrative ideas never seen before but the hands of the director who took over the whole are too weak to shape the material and make something that is not a simple derivative.

“Some Like It Hot” (1959) Directed by Billy Wilder

27 Apr

This film has been appreciated worldwide to be one of the best films ever made. Also it has been stocked to the cultural heritage of America by the open vote results. Remember that you can watch movies online at any time.

“Some Like It Hot” sometimes is called a remake, as its story was adapted from the one by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan for German films. But there are no gangsters and relevant story line in the original.

This film hasn’t ever been released without genius Billy Wilder, bright Tony Curtis, the inimitable Jack Lemmon, and lovely Marilyn Monroe. This team has produced a great movie!

Some people say that Marilyn Monroe is a shortcoming of this movie. She hasn’t been appreciated as a talented actress for the first years in Hollywood, but that was a mistake. She created the certain image and performed it brightly.

We should thank Billy Wilder for this delightful comedy once more!

Kung Fu Panda

27 Apr

I doubt that you think of Kung Fu Panda as one of the best kung fu movies of all time but it really is. It is the story of an overweight Panda bear that has been able to overcome a lot of difficult circumstances and tremendously long odds against him. He steps up when he is needed most and saves his town from a bully that threatens to destroy everything using his training and superior strength. No one expect this Panda bear to come out of nowhere and be the guy that saves the village. Kung Fu Panda is a really good movie that both adults and kids would really enjoy. I was skeptical when the movie came out and did not think that I would even see it. I am really glad that I did because the movie was well worth the money. You should see the movie too,
