Rocky (1976)

Rocky is a American sport drama film, directed by John G. Avildsen. It came out in 1976 and it was both written by and starring Silvester Stallone, who at that time was not so famous. Thank this film he caught on and he became one of the most well-known Hollywood actors. The movie won three Oscar prizes. Omong them the one as best film and best direction. Thank this movie. Stallone became the third man in the cinema history after Charlie Chaplin and Orson Welles to receive, for the same film, the Oscar nomination both for best scriptwriter and best actor.

Rocky is a amateur boxer from Philadelphia who is not able to stave due to several reasons. Therefore, his trainer, Mickey Goldmill, sequestered him his locker and he caught the occasion to point out how much, according to his opinion, he is a shoddy boxer. In fact he defined Rocky as a smoke cheese. When he is not in the ring, Rocky earns money as usurer for Mr. Gasco, an Italian-American gangster who commands in a suburb of the city. Rocky’s best friend is Paulie Pennino, Italian-American as he is, with whom he spends lots of time. Rocky is very interesting in Paulie’s sister, a shy girl, he is attracted to. Thanksgiving Day, Rocky and Adriana went out and at the end he managed to snatch a kiss, and then they got engaged. In the meanwhile, the undefeated heavyweight champion Apollo Creed comes to Philadelphia to find a challenger for a match organized to celebrate the anniversary of the Bicentennial of the United States of America. As the official challenger got injured, and therefore not participating in the match in that the champion will be raffling the world heavyweight title, Apollo decided to give a complete stranger in Philadelphia the opportunity to face for the title, taking the opportunity to increase their already immense popularity. Almost by accident, the yearbook of the boxers is just the name of Rocky and nicknamed ”the Italian Stallion”, and instructs its agents to contact him. Needless to say that for Rocky it was a unique opportunity, destined to change totally his life, through which he would become a “hero” in the eyes of the people. After making up with his trainer, Rocky started to work out seriously for the match. Even if he was supposed to be defeated at the start, Rocky looked very fit. After the triumphal arrival of Apollo on the ring, Rocky proved his skills in the first round, managing to knock a champion for the first time. The challenge was supposed to be only a farce, instead turns in a tough battle for the sample. Rocky went on successfully and during the 15th round he managed to strike his opponent devastatingly, but then the previous champion was saved by the bell of the end of the match. The verdict is given: Creed won on points and kept the world-champion title, but audience cheers only Rocky, that after driving out people around him, hugged Adriana, who managed to climb to the ring. The two declare their mutual love, crowning a mix of emotions the most beautiful day of their lives.

Rocky is definitely one of my favourite movies. I like the essence of protagonist, it proves that everything is possible if you just give your whole life for it. I have watched it about five times and I can watch it again and again. Watching Rocky always gives energy and motivation to sport trainings and give everything you have got. I love the way  Sylvester Stallone is acting, he just makes films feel so true and stops me think about possibilities in world.

Inception is a film what tells about Dominick ”Dom” Cobb(Leonardo DiCaprio) and business partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who perform corporate espionage by using an experimental military-developed machine to infiltrate the subconscious of their targets and extract information while dreaming.The plot is very confusing because there are moments when you are not sure if it is a dream or reality.Also in dream is three different levels and you are not sure are characters in dream level two or three but when you keep watching the movie you dont lose the red line of the plot.

I was amazed by the acting in the movie and i think the casting fitted in the movie very well. Main characters in the film are Dom,Arthur,Saito(Ken Watanabe)there are also other characters in the movie but i dont keep them so important.Characters were working good together and i could not think any other actors to the movie.

The score for inception was written by Hans Zimmer who is a famous music producer.He has also produced music to The Lion King movie.He describes inceptions music electronic filled with nostalgia and sadnnes to match Dom’s feelings.In the movie was emotional moments which fixed together with music very well.I think that the movie have maybe the best music i have heard.

The movie is filled with different special effects and they all are brilliant.Special effects are made by camera and little bit computer.they wanted to do as much as possible in-camera,and then,if necessary,computer graphics.

The movie is a fictional film,with science fiction,heist film and film noir.In the movie you realize a thousand times that all is fictional even in the end you think cobb gets back to the normal life but seems like the hole movie is dream! I am not sure about that but i think so.The viewer can make the own decisions.The movie was great and I recomment it.

I choose the movie, Stand by me, because it’s definitely one of my favourite movies. It also isn’t that recent. The movie came out in 1986 and it is based on Stephen King’s novel; the Body.

The movie begins from the year 1986. Gordie Lanchance has just heard, that his childhood friend, Chris, has died. He starts remembering his youth, how he and three of his friends, Chris, Teddy and Vern, left their small hometown to go looking for a body, and become local heroes. Also a gang of older  boys had planned of discovering the body. Young , twelve-year-old boys decided to go and find the body on foot, even if the distance was dozens of kilometers. On the way happens many risky things and they experience all the moments of joy and sorrow. Boys find the body, but so does the gang of older boys. Then, with a gun that Chris had brought, Gordy frightens the gang away. Boys decide to make an anonymous phonecall to the authorities. They go back home, and say goodbye to each other. It was their last summer together.

Characters are really significant in this movie. It doesn’t have any miraculous special effects, so it’s all about them. As a group of friends, Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern are brilliant.                                                                                                                                 Gordie, the storyteller, is very clever, but also rather shy. He is very much afraid, that his parents don’t  care about him, because his older brother, who was very well-thought-of, died a while ago.                                                                                                                       Chris is a very peaceful person, though missunderstood. He comes from a family that has a criminal backgroud. Chris tries to seem as a tough person outwars, but in reality, he likes school and wants to succeed there.                                                                                 Teddy is the real adventurer of the group. His father has ended up to a mental hospital, and Teddy can’t stand if someone insults his father.                                                                Vern is a bit coward, and maby the most naive (thouhg they are only twelve). He would always want to choose the safest route and he says wrong things at the wrong time.     Ace is the gang leader, ”the bad guy”, who never thinks about anyone else than himself.

On my opinion, actors in the movie are very appropriate to their roles. It’s a pity, that some of the actors haven’t succeed very well after Stand by Me. Kiefer Sutherland (Ace’s actor) is surely the most famous nowadays. Another noted actor is Corey Feldman (Teddy), who has acted for example at the Lost Boys. River Phoenix (Chris) died in 1993 of an overdose of drugs. Before his death he had time to act in movies like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and My Own Private Idaho. Wil Wheaton (Gordie’s actor) has been in Big Bang Theory’s seasons from 3 to 5. Jerry O’Connell (Vern’s actor) has been acting in movies like Scream 2 and Kangaroo Jack.

The movie’s soundtrack is light-hearted and it has many well-known 50’s tracks. They’re not maby known by name, but when you hear it, you’ll recognize it (for example;Buddy Holly: Everyday, The Chordettes: Lollipop and Ben E. King: Stand by Me).

By thinking, that this movie is based on Stephen King’s novel, you might think it is some kind of a thriller. Despite King’s name, it’s a drama, that tells about friendship and a big adventure.

Shooter (2007)

Shooter is an action film, directed by Antoine Fuqua in 2007. Mark Wahlberg is playing the main character Bob Lee Swagger, who is a former United States Marine scout sniper. The story takes off when Bob Lee Swagger is framed for the assassination of the President.

Characters in the movie: Bob’s friend Donnie Fenn is played by Lane Garrison. In the beginning of the movie, Bob and Donnie are completing a task, until they are abandoned during it. They are left alone in the desert and the only company they have are dozens of enemies. Donnie doesn’t make it. Donnie’s wife Sarah Fenn (Kate Mara) gives Bob shelter during the manhunt. There is also another one who helps Bob: Nick Memphis (Michael Peña) who works for the FBI and believes in Bob’s innocence. The villain in the movie is Isaac Jonhson, played by Danny Glover. Johnson framed Swagger.

For the most part, the movie is filmed in Columbia, Canada and Philadelphia, United States. The movie is produced by Paramount Pictures and it is edited by Conrad Byff and Eric Sears. There are many special effects in the movie. For example a lot of explosions and guns. In the movie Swagger uses the same weapons as real United States Marines use. The movie has been made as real as possible. Shooter’s genre is definitely action. The exact genre is thriller action film.

The budget of the movie was 61 million dollars, and the box office result is over 95 million dollars. Mark Mancina made the soundtrack with a 77-piece orchestra.

Shooter is definitely my favorite movie. I have watched this movie about five times and I can watch it again and again. I love Mark Wahlberg’s acting and everything about this movie. I like guns, explosions and everything about army, so the movie is for me. Best movie ever.

Joulutarina is a finnish movie which tells a story about the birth of Santa Claus. Nikolas is a 7-year-old boy from a little village in Lappland who tragically loses his parents and little sister when they fall into ice. The people of the village are quite poor and none of them can take Nikolas with them, so they decide that he will change the family once a year. Nikolas is very good in whittling things of wood and because he always moves at Christmas time, he decides to whittle a little toy for the children of the families he has been in. After six years the villagers are getting poorer and poorer and Nikolas has to move outside of the village with a scary carpenter, Iisakki. After a while, Nikolas and Iisakki make friends and Iisakki lets Nikolas work in his workshop. Time goes by, but still every Christmas Nikolas brings presents for the children. When Iisakki passes, Nikolas gets his savings and starts to widen his function and becomes a full-time Santa. He buys red clothes and trains reindeer to lead his sleigh. Now Nikolas only shows up once a year, at Christmas Eve as Santa Claus. When Nikolas ages, he decides it’s time to stop. He disappears, but his legacy won’t die, because the men of the village decide to continue the tradition of delivering presents at Christmas.

The film is starred by Finnish top actors. There are three actors acting Nikolas as different ages; Nikolas as a child is performed by Jonas Rinne and Otto Gustavsson, and Nikolas as an adult is Hannu-Pekka Björkman. The other actors are Kari Väänänen as Iisakki, Mikko Kouki as Nikolas’s best friend Eemeli, Mikko Leppilampi as Eemelis father Hannus, Laura Birn as Eemeli’s daughter Aada and Antti Tuisku as Aadas husband Mikko.The scriptwriter of the film is Marko Leino (Vares, Matti) and it’s based on the novel by Aku Louhimies, Marko Leino and Juha Wuolijoki who is also the director of the movie.

The scenes have a big part in the movie, and that’s no wonder. The location of the film, Lappland is amazing. There are mountains, forests and enormously snow. That may be one reason why Joulutarina has got a Finnish Jussi award of the best shooting and as the public’s favourite.

This movie is a very touching story about Santa Claus and I would recommend it to everybody who loves Christmas and isn’t afraid of crying when watching a movie!

A Perfect World is a fictional drama film. It was filmed in 1993, mostly in Texas. The movie is directed by Clint Eastwood, who also plays a big part in this very movie. The film takes place in Texas year 1963.

In the beginning of movie two convicts, Butch Haynes (Kevin Costner) and Terry Pugh (Keith Szarabajka), escape from prison. They have to take a hostage who ends up to be a little Jehova’s witness called Phillip (T.J. Lowther). Butch has to get rid of Terry by shooting him becouse Terry tried to molest the kid. On their journey to Alaska the two of them develope a father-son relationship becouse neither one of them has ever had a such thing. Both of their fathers had left them when they were young. Haynes only thinks about Phillip’s best and the boy ends up having the time of his life. He lets the boy do what his religion doesn’t allow him to do. Meanwhile they are being chaced by the police. The sheriff Red Garnett (Clint Eastwood) is after them with his team and a ciminologist Sally Gerber (Laura Dern). When the manhunt goes on further Garnett understands he was the one to put Haynes in prison in his youth and that resulted in Haynes becoming a criminal. At the end of the movie Haynes gets killed by a too eager policeman. Garnett realases that Haynes wasn’t as bad man as everyone had thought.

As I wrote, Haynes had to go to prison becouse of Garnett. Haynes had stolen a car and therefore he was sentenced for four years of prison. He was supposed to become a good guy but he couldn’t stay away from the trouble. As Haynes says he only kills for a reason. First when mother was in danger and when Phillip was in danger. It tells a lot about their relationship which developes during the film. The criminologist sees the good in Haynes which Garnett isn’t willing to admit at first. He didn’t want to give up to a woman which is also a subject that is being taken a stace on in this film.

I think the casting is done very succesfully. Eastwood and Costner are obviously very talented and experienced actors but the greatest impression on me made the little boy. Considering his age, Lowther did a great job. It can’t be easy to stand out between Costner and Eastwood. Costner is known from many movies such as Dances with the Wolves and Waterwold. Eastwood is know for many reasons: he has acted and directed many films such as A Fistful of Dollars (The Dollar Trilogy). He has also won many awards.

The music of this movie done by Lennie Niehaus. The musics aren’t too out there and they really suit the movie. There has also been released a soundtrack of this movie. Eastwood himself has also composed one of the songs.

This movie is probably my favorite movie and I recommend it to everyone.
