Survival suit and the butterfly

Le Scaphandre et le papillon And this film has very much liked me! As well as "silk" too is removed under the book about which writing there is a speech in a film. Very vital! After it has reflected on two things. The first - silly to complain about a heavy life if there is a health. The second – health should be protected!:)

Silk

Silk One of these days has looked a film "Silk". I read novel Алессандро Барикко with the same name, and it was very interesting - whether it is possible to transfer “on a film” letters of the heroine which are a novel highlight. It has appeared that it is impossible, the film has turned out boring. So do not look better, and esteem the book, well or at least listen to the audiobook.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

While it is possible to look only a trailer:

 

War of dinosaurs

In the early childhood I adored to look rather popular in 50-60th years so-called «Giant Monster Movies», that is films about huge monsters, in particular the Japanese tapes about adventures of "nuclear" pangolin Годзиры (at us altered in a western way as the Godzilla) and feats of many-storeyed heroes Ультрамэна and Ультрасевена, and also American "horror films" about huge ants ("They"), a monster from Venus («20 million miles to the Earth»), the semiundressed and bald giant – a victim of nuclear tests («the Surprising enormous person», «Revenge of the enormous person») etc. Now, of course, these films already seem become outdated and naive, but in due time they really frightened and bewitched. Gradually interest to similar pictures began to vanish, and them began to remove all less often and less often (except Japan where the cult of huge monsters exists and to this day). In 70-80th years there were separate films GMM (Giant Monster Movies), however they caused furore basically only in the USSR ("King Kong" 1976, «King Kong is live» 1986, «the Legend about a dinosaur» 1977) as such tapes were in a novelty for the ordinary Soviet spectator.

Isolation

I already wrote earlier, that I most of all like the films of the horrors which have been removed by the European directors, rather than their American colleagues. The pictures of this genre made in old kind Europe, undoubtedly lose to "horror films" from the USA in a part, concerning the financings, impressing special effects and participation in them variegated movie stars, however almost always they are distinguished by better direction, special internal psychologism, an original aesthetics of violence and, certainly, frank enough display of bloody scenes. Not concerning the Italian films of horrors (Дарио Ардженто and Лучио Фульчи out of competition), as one of the best European киноделов in this area I consider British. Last decade revival so-called «is observed is smoothfaced a horror», i.e. horrors it come from the Great Britain. Confirming to this thesis it is possible to recollect such remarkable samples of a genre, as "Descent" and "Dogs-soldiers" of Nile of Marshall, «28 days later» Denni Boyle, "Bunker" Green's Uniform, «On the guard of death» and Michael Dzh's "Wildness". Бассета, «the Zombie by name of Шон» Edgara Right and others.
