My blog is about TVseries, books, music, cinema and some other interest of mine. I think I'm a bit nerd, you'll judge.

Stuck in love (2013)

I started watching this movie just because I love Nat Wolff and Logan Lerman. But I loved it! I really mean it, this is a very good movie. At the beginning I thought it was just another “stupid” movie about love and blahblahblah. But then appears Lily Collins’ character and… it’s love at first sight. A riuned marriage, stories of betrayals and stolen kisses. That’s exactly what I wasn’t expecting. And that’s exactly what I liked the most. 

Critics: just one. Kristen Bell’s character. I don’t understand her role. What’s the point of putting her inside the movie?

So, if you’re looking for a movie that explores love in the main phases of life, that’s it, you’ve just found it! You can see a teenager (Nat Wolff) approaching love, an young adult (Lily Collins) who feels hurt by love and their parents(Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly), now divorced, who try to fix their own lives.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

I know, I'm 14 years late. My bad.

Yesterday I decided to finally watch this movie and guess what? I loved it! Maybe that's because I love Maths and if I were just a little smarter I would certainly be attending MIT. (just joking.)

Anyway, let's talk seriously. I've just read John Nash's biography and I have to admit that the movie was pretty different. It doesn't talk about the "darkest days" of his illness. But despite this, Russell Crowe has made a brilliant interpretation. I watched The Imitation Game just two weeks ago and I must compare Benedict's Alan Turing and Russell's John Nash. I know they're not equal, but I have to say that the behaviours of these two matematicians, for example the distance from people, were very similar; both Cumberbatch and Crowe showed perfectly these "discomforts".

Russell Crowe's performance made me feel like I were right into his head, with the view of Charles and the others always there. I think that stuff like this make a movie Academy-Award-worthy.

And that's what happened. Four Academy Awards, everyone deserved. I think, honestly, that Crowe deserved one Oscar too, but it's too late now, don't you think?

Jennifer Connelly, instead, won. I'm not surprised, she was sooo good in this movie, so strong, she had been able to show a woman who stayed next to her sick husband, no matter what.

I'm really pleased, this movie gave me a lot, and I think I'm going to re-watch it someday.

The Imitation Game (2014)

If it wasn't for Alan Turing, I should be writing this post on a paper with a pen right now. He invented the prototype of PC and I'm really grateful to him. Like, really really.

No more talking about dumb things, let's move to the huge, the perfect, the great, the everythingyouwanttosay Benedict Cumberbatch. A little S(herlock)ociopath, a little kind, a lot brilliant and s(herlock)mart. Benedict's Alan Turing was exactly what I expected. Eyes full of pain, sufference for a world that doesen't accept your cleverness and strange habits. This is what Benedict Cumberbatch gave me.

Beautiful Keira Knightley, I totally loved her way of interpretating Joan, the woman behind, but most of all next to Alan. Great chemistry between Benedict and Keira, for a very good result.

I'm well aware that most of the movie is fictionalzed, but I think that it's well-fictionalized. Nearly all the story of Joan and Alan is made up, but i honestly don't care.

What else? Matthew Goode is the hottest actor in this movie soooo good, I really enjoyed him!

As a result? Really satisfied, well done!

The Normal Heart (2014)

No words. This movie is (obviously) about gay people in the 80s. This theme has always been important to me, I can’t explain why.

Anyway, let’s talk about Mark Ruffalo and his EPIC interpretation. Most of the actors who appeared in this movie are gay in reality. But Mark Ruffalo doesn’t. He played a gay man in a way I couldn’t have imagined. His feeling, his anger, his way of loving Felix, everything was perfect.

Matt Bomer. I can’t say anything, except that (even his butt is perfect) I loved every word, every smile, every tear of him. His role was complex, but also sweet, his way of calming down Ned, of keeping it kind.

I should talk about every single actor of this movie but I really can’t. I’ll say that Julia Roberts, Jim Parsons, Alfred Molina and everyone else were exactly what I expected. Treating a theme like AIDS in that period is not easy as what people think. 

Negative points? None.

Congratulations, you have my heart now, my normal heart, that’s just like everyone’s.

Christopher and his kind (2011)

Matt Smith is incredible. He shows so many emotions in this movie! I cried, I smiled, I thought about a lot while watching. Christopher Isherwood is a writer I've never read about, but I'm sure I'll start very soon. His years in Berlin have been plenty of adventures, lovers, facts, and his way of writing down the exact words that people said was amazing. Matt Smith's performance is really really good. I loved his Doctor Who, but in this occasion he's completely different, and lovable.

So, great movie, great cast, loved it!
