MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS : The queen of mystery

Honestly,mystery is my favourite genre.Reading a enigma novel or watching an interesting moviing picture are an impressive hobby.It’s a well-known fact that waiting to the guilt for any murder is absolutely astonishing.These days,in our present society,where there are a plenty of unfair and unresolved cases would we need Agatha Christie to clarify them,wouldn’t it?.

Based on an Agatha Christie’s novel,in 2017 Kenneth Branagh directed Murder on the Orient Express.This mystery film is the last adaptation of this famous writer,which has been played on the screenplay for several periods.In this adaption,its cast is its strong point,Tom Bateman,Willem Defoe,Johnny Depp or Michelle Pfeiffer among others make this film a huge demand for the audience and principally with the role of Kenneth Branagh portraying Hercule Poirot.It’s remarkable to point out that this adaptation received diverse reviews.It’s crystal clear that its performance and production were successful,yet some of them,believed that it was the worst adaptation.Last but not least,in 2022,it was released a sequel,Death on the Nile.

After solving an enigmatic case at the Church of the Holy Sepulture in Jerusalem,the well-known detective Hercules Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) wants to travel to Istanbul to rest,however,he must move his idea and come back to London to figure out another case,Poirot travels on the famous railway with his friend and Orient Espress director,Bouc (Tom Bateman).There,there are peculiar and totally different passengers…and really suspicious,American Widow,businessman,elderly Russian,Hungarian diplomat,a governess or an Austrian university professor among others.The next morning,it was discovered that the American businessman is murdered,for Poirot all of them could be guilty.Yet,all evidences involve that this murder hasn’t been committed by one person,to Piorot not everything is black or white in the Orient Express.

Fantastic film,this is a truly a modern classic.A great retelling of Christie’s murder mystery.Branagh is a excellent as Poirot,as are the rest of the cast in their roles.The visual are simply stunning,this is a must see for anyone that loves classic titles.The film doesn’t deserve the poor reviews it has received.

…The impossible cannot have happened,therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.

GHOST CHASE : One a crazy night in Hollywood…

It’s crystal clear that our childhood pursuit are always a nice time to call to mind.In that moment,you used to think that when you will be a grow-up you will keep doing that every day.In my case,I used to draw the contemporary TV shows or my favourite famous people.In fact,one day around 34 years ago,I drew a pic of  the famous film ‘Ghostchase’,which I’m going to write in this review.It’s fair to remark that children have changed their play habits in our current society,such as to play as an influencer Youtuber,trendy gamer or well-known sport player.Much us,I’m sure that our current children would also play a detective and find out the mystery of huge mansion as in this shoot.

Ghost Chase is a terror and comedy film.This Germany and American film was directed by Roland Emmerich in 1987.This co-production between these countries was released in several theatres in Germany.It’s probable that this movie was one the first one to use special effect at this time in order to introduce the essential role of the elderly butler spirit. 

The film starts in Hollywood,where the dream to become a famous actor or a prestigious director are set to each corner.Here,Fred (Tim McDaniel) can’t avoid dreaming to be a well-known horror-movie director.Fred lives with his cousin,Warren (Jason Lively),who would like to be the main character in Fred’s proyect and Laurie (Jill Whitlow),who keeps on flirting with him,in the female role.

All their state of affairs situation change radically,when the two cousins are called to know his grandfather’s will.They should go to an old and inhabit mansion in order to find out the possible Great Grandfather’s fortune or the familiar enigma.The three youngsters decide to spend one night there,and they consider that not only would be it a unique choice to get money,but also an astonishing alternative to use the mansion for a videotape.Yet,the circumstances ends up having been totally distint that the teenagers have thought when the harmless grandfather’s butler appear as a spirit.Finally,The butlet and the fellows will help each other with their troubles,avoid to the other dangerous ghosts and to revealing the family secret.

This unfamiliar record for the viewers is a must,especially for the 80s movie fans.From my point of view,even though it is one of the less colloquial films ever made,it is also one of the most superbly enjoyable as well.Were I you in your shoes,I would watch it.

…On the stroke of midnight something strange and wonderfull will happen as you’re taken on a wils..

I draw this picture about this film in 1988,when I was 10.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB : Truth friendship

As the saying goes friends are the family we choose.I agree to some extent with that,because it’s crystal clear that our family is essential and in some situations could be also friendlier.Yet,our friends,especially school friends are never to be forgotten.It is true that we used to have pretty link with people of the different habis.Besides,there were a circumstance which demostrates you that this friendship would be for ever.

The breakfast Club is an American comedy-dram film.It was produced and directed by John Hughes in 1985.It’s fair to remark that not only grossed this 80s film $51.5 million,but also colected positive criticism,taking into account that its budget was minimal,Furthermore,in this day and age,The Breakfast Club is considered a cult movie,in fact it is also named as socially,historically or aesthetically significant by the Library of Congress.Last but not least,its eventful hit ‘Don’t you (Forget about me) by Simple Minds is played in multiple parts of this tape.

It’s Saturday,at the Shermer High School,five students are confinement due to their inappropriate behaviours.Nerdy Brian Johnson,varsity wrestler Andrew Clark,unsociable Allison Reynols,popular Claire Standing and the wrongdoe John Bender or also called,such as a brainpower,an athlete,a basket case,a princess and a criminal.During their aisle  in the aula,they couldn’t talk or move around the class.Besides,they are supervised by the principal Vernon,who assigns a personal essay.Yet,Vernon leaves the aula during the most the time.There,surprisingly,despite their steem and distint custom,the students talk about the reason of this punishment and they end up having a great time and give away their secrets.What started out as a debatable state of affairs,it could be a memorable and an inseparable group of friends.

This movie’s simplicity and witty dialogue are the elements that make it so wonderful.The characters are well developed,and although it takes place in a few locations,it never fails to impress,entertain and provoke reflections.An iconic 80’s movie,still relevant today.

….Five strangers with nothing in common,except each other.

LAST ACTION HERO : Arnold Schwarzeleyend

I’m going to let the cat out of the bag : Arnold Schwarzenneger is one of my favorite actors.One in a blue moon,he is considered like a brilliant actor.Yet,from my point of view,his career is flawless.Titles such as Terminator,Robocop,True Lies or The Running man are utterly memorable.It’s crystal clear that his function as a politician could lead to confusion for the audience.However,Holliwood will be never the same without exbodybuilder.

Last Action Hero is an American fantasy film.It was directed and produced by McTiernanin 1993.The main plot of this unforgettable film was an irony of the action genre.Its strong point is the role as Jack Slater,fabulously interpreted by Arnold Schwazenegger.Sadly,this film didn’t find the commercial success and the critical opinions.One of the most relevant fact of this movie is its cameo appearances,Plenty of famous actors appear during this record,such as Silvester Stallone,Sharon Stone or Dani DeVito among other.Its soundtrack was arranged by Michal Kamen,and to the opposite of the nonsuccess movie,the album was positively received by the audience,what’s more it was certified platinum

Danny (Austin O’Brien) is a teenager who lives in New York with his mother.After his father’s death,Danny is naughty and absent-minded with his studies.He just takes comfort watching action movies,mainly about his favourite character,Jack Slater.Danny spends his time in a local theater is owned by Nick (Robert Prosky),one of Danny’s friend.One day,during a act,the teenager receives a magic ticket with transports him into the fictional world.Surprisingly,Danny is in the middle of a risky scene with Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger).There,Jack takes it with a pinch of salt of Danny came from,and he decides to take Danny to the police station.However,not only will help Danny to investigate to a mafia activities,but also would be a real friend to Jack.

Classic movie.Really brings out the difference between the fictional world and the real world and how horrible/different the real world is.Definitely one of my most favorite Arnord Schwarzenegger movies by far because he once again shows he can do comedy.Would 100 % recommend.

….well,listen to this one,Rubber baby buggy bumpers.

DON’T LOOK UP : This will affect the entire planet

 

Pandemic,wars,conflicts,poverty….it’s crystal clear that we are not living in a perfect society.In fact,in my view,we are living,ever more,in a sad and disturbing World.It is true that there are pleasing situations which make us living charming moments,and we try to enjoy deeply.Yet,it is difficult to not look about the situations that affects us.It appears that governments want to change our world,nevertheless there is a fine line between what is said and what really done.From my point of they don’t never look up.

‘Don’t look up’ is an American black-comedy film directed,produced and written by Adam McKay 2021.Needless to say that its reclaims is its amazing and strong cast,which involves with Leonardo DiCaprio,Jennifer Lawrence,Meryl Streep,Rob Morgan,Cate Blanchett,Johan Hill among others,although I must make clear that DiCaprio had several rifts with Mckay but finally he diced to join it.Firstly,this film was created to Paramount Picture but finally it was sold to Netflix in 2019.It is fair to point out that this satirical film and vindicatory received mixed reviews,some of them comment that it is controversial and heavy-handle.Yet,some scientist and the Neflix viewers believe that it is a positive and useful plot to take into account.As a final curiosity,Cate Blanchett has just received the first Goya International for her prestigious career.

Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence ) is a prestigious astronomer.During a project,she discovers an approaching comet which could destroy our planet.The probability is too high and she talks about it with her professor,Dr.Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and he confirms one hundred percent this chaotic phenomenon.In a due time,they travel to the White House in order to inform about this dramatic situation.Yet,to their surprise,they don’t receive any type of concern from the President (Meryl Steeep).As a consequence of her disregard,they decide to boost this future issue from the media,however the apathy and the way of handling the topic make Kate and Dr.Randall get really angry but with less inclined to struggle.The satire of government,political,celebrity and media show us the real world we are living,without realising that this current world will end up having far-reaching effects.

To my mind,this movie not only tells this chaotic feeling perfectly,but also conveys the message that not everything has to be bright and shinning or sarcastic.Sometimes we just have to tell the story directly instead of making up new/fake scenario to make points……We really did have everything,didn’t we? I mean,when you think about it.

….and please STOP WAR

STAR WARS : May the force with you

  

Are you a Warsies? To be honest,I’m not an expert on Star Wars.In fact,I haven’t still watched the last ones.I can’t help but point out that this wonderful saga is a global blockbuster.I wonder for Warsies (Star Wars Lovers) what the best Star Wars part the best one is.What’s more,Princess Leia,Darth Vader,Luke Skywalker,Han-Solo,Chewbacca,R2-D2,Obi-Wan Kenobi,C-3PO,Master Yoda among others bring us unforgettable memories.

Three years after the Darth Star doom.The galaxy is divided due to this destruction and the galactic imperium is looking for the Rebels around the galaxy,destroying several bases.The film is mainly involved to capture the Rebels and the obsession of Darth Vader to capture his enemy,Luke Skywalker.However,the strong point of this film is when Dark Vader reveals to Luke that he is his father,which is one of the most famous plot twists.

Get yourself queen-sized popcorn and decide to watch of this film of this brilliant saga today.A masterfully portrayed account about this worldwide pop-culture phenomenon.

....No I’m your father.

JINGLE ALL THE WAY: It’s a turbo time

Can you imagine being to the role of Harold Langston? It’s often said that the presents at Christmas is the most important part for children.They usually send with huge passion their letters to Santa Claus or three wise men,yet children are looking forward to spending time with their parents in this warm time and it is true that the situation in our stress society is not easy.I’m sure that Harold would have wished to spend more time with his son in spite of looking for his son’s gift.

Jingle All the Way is an American family film.It was directed in 1996 by Brian Levant and it was also released by Fox company.This loving Christmas film initially received negative reviews,generally from Schwarzenegger haters.Besides,it is fair to point out that Fox was ordered to a compensation due to the fact it was supposed for stealing the idea.Finally,this film had a sequel in 2014.

Howard is a stress business man who is always worried over his work,he spends long hours in the office and his family,his wife and his son Jamie,is fully upset about that because he always promises them to change his timetable.The day before Christmas,Howard is involved in a huge traffic jam,he arrives very late at home.Once he gets home,his wife comments him that if Howard could buy the Jamie’s Christmas wish,an action figure of Turbo-Man which is a popular television superhero an it is so difficult to achieve at this time.Howard lies his wife saying that he had bought this toy.So,immediatelly,Howard goes to the shopping center in order to get it.There,he realizes that it is impossible to find it,it is out of stock in all malls.During this chaotic process,Howard figures out a rivalry with Myron Larabee (Sinbad),a father with the same ambition.In desperation due to his unforgivable neglect,he suffers fights,experiences with car thieves along with police persecutions.Maybe,Howard will keep his promise in future situations.

It’s crystal clear that not only is this film a way of entertaining,but also a comedy.For this last reason,it’s fair to point out that while there’s some genuine laughs and warm sentimentality to be had,it is vital to take into account that Brian Levant’s Jingle All the Way represents everything that’s bad with Christmas today concerning of consumerism.

….Always keep your promise if you want to keep your friends.

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS : Alone…in the dark.

 

The story of an uncommonly gentle man.It is often said that you should be as a society says,and when you are not this way you could feel isolated or bullied.Edward Scissorhands is a great example,which under no circumstances should you book by the cover and try to know the person deeply.Fortunately,All of us are uncommonly human with our special values.

Edward Scissorhands is an American fantasy film.It was directed by Tim Burton and Denise Di Novi in 1990.Its more relevant strong point is the role of Johnny Depp as an Edward Scissorhands.As it usually normal the decision was not an easy peasy due to the fact that Burton a well-known casting,such us Tom Cruise,Tom Hanks or Gary Oldman,needless to say that Deep was the best choice.This lovely movie received positive critics and economical benefits.Despite the film had several nominations at the most relevant International awards,it couldn’t get anyone but It fair point out that Edward Scissorhands must have achieved.

To begin with an endearing scene between an elderly woman and her granddaughter.There she tells the child about the story of Edward,who has scissor blades for hands.One day,Peg (Dianne Weist) tries to sell her cosmetic product in a dark mansion where Edward lives.Peg Boogs fells upset to realize that Edward is a humanoid who wasn’t finished by his inventor due to the fact he died.Edward lives alone and sad in this ghotic house,for this reason she decides to take him her home.Peg lives with her husband and her daughter Kim (Winona Rydar).Even though Kim initially feels afraid with Edward,he tries to have a nice relationship and to court her.Furthermore,The majority of neighbors are fascinated by Edward.Yet Esmeralda,an eccentric woman and Jim,Kim’s boyfriend are less receptive over Edward’ behavior.

To sum up,This unforgettable film is considered a classic,not only is it for Tim Burton’s fan,but also the most exigent criteria for filmmaking.I must make clear that were it not for this film,I wouldn’t have known the emotional and sensitive size of Tim Burton….besides,rumor has it that he conceived Edward Scissorhands from his childhood upbringing in suburban Burbank,California.

….Everything has beauty,but not everyone sees it.

WORLD WAR Z : Zombie attack

 

November is a Halloween time.For this reason it is a particularly enjoyable occasion was that it brought back memories of my own childhood experiences.I remember playing video games with my friends,I’d like to point out that zombie games were our favourite ones.Resident evil or Silent hill are always on mind mind.This is why when I watched World war Z I couldn’t avoid reminding these unforgettable video games.  

World War Z is an American action film.It was directed by Marc Forster,in 2013,which was based on the novel by Max Brooks in 2006.Needless to say that the role of the main character,Brat Pitt is the strong point.Brat Pitt received countless positive reviews over his performance.Besides,the film was a completely commercial success.Yet,there are some negative points to take into account,some critics pointed out that the anti-climax,outdated CGI along with the lack of faithfulness source material made a awful movie.Finally,I must make clear that a sequel was announced,althouth it was ended up cancelled.

Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) an ex UN agent,and his family are in a crowded road in Philadelphia.,they become in panic when the city is overrun by zombies.Chaos,violence along with death spread.Gerry and his family try to escape from this horror scene to their apartment in New Jersey.Thierry Umutoni (an UN secretary-general and old friend of Gerry asks him to help and solve this crazy situation and analyzing the worldwide outbreaks.They believe that the virus could figure out with a vaccine,although it will be essential to know the origin of this zombie pandemic.The situation becomes worse,and zombies take the global control.Gerry Lane as a head person grab the bull by horns trying to save the world.

In a nutshell,it’s crystal clear that zombie movies are not a genre which have been created to watch in the family.Yet,it is an amazing plan to watch them with your friends,and why not? As I mentioned before looking back your teenagers memories.

…..Most people don’t believe something can happen until it already has.
