Desperate Housewives is an American TV-serie, which was created by March Cherry. Desperate Housewives tells about four women, who might look perfect but they all have their own problems and lives. These five ladies lives in imaginary Fairviews suburb.

The main characters are Teri Hatcher (Susan Mayer), Felicity Huffman (Lynette Scavo), Marcia Cross (Bree Van De Kamp), Eva Longoria (Gabrielle Solis). They all have their own personalities: Susan is a litle quick-tempered, Lynette is the trusted one, Bree is always perfect and Gabrielle is the most superficial. I don’t have any favourite, I like them all but Eva Longoria is the beautiest in my eyes. I think they all are very good actors, and the Desperate Housewives has wone one Golden Globe and one Emmy.

The creator of Desperate Housewives, March Cherry, had got the idea to make this serie from one shocking news. Andrea Yates, Texan mother, had killed her five child, and Cherry asked her own mother what kind of mother would do that. His mother told him, that she understands Yates, because she had also been so desperate when her man was away and she had to raise her children alone. This made Cherry think thay maybe also other women, who look doing fine, can be inside very depressed ans desperate.

There are eight production seasons. The first period was shown on ABC in 2004 and in year 2005 serie came to Finlands TV. One season includes 23 periods. The serie is very popular all over the world – also Oprah and Dr. Phil watches it. Description group spends normally 15 days for shooting one period. Every period has own theme which is demonstrated in the begining of the period. When there was a rumour that Eva Longoria will leave the show, Longoria said that they all (the main characters) have 10 years contract.

David Goldman (Peter Sarsgaard) is a charming Jewish conman. He has a lot of money and he goes often to fine restaurants and luxurious places. He values arts and music.

Danny (Dominic Cooper) is David’s partner in crime and of course his friend. He likes valuable instruments and expensive decor.

Helen (Rosamund Pike) Helen is Danny’s girlfriend. She is into fashion and she is not as clever as the others in group.

This film’s soundtrack includes a lot of french music and lively music which is played by the piano. The soundtrack includes also old classical hits which are played in the clubs where David takes Jenny.

I’d recommend this film to everyone because it’s interesting, and sad when you identify with the main character Jenny.

The Book of Eli (2010) (by Gary Whitta) is a post-apocalyptic tale, in which there are a lone man who fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book which is a Bible. Almost every copy of The Bible is burned after war. There is some enemies on his way and he will have to compete with them so he can deliver that book to safety.

Characters:

Eli (Denzel Washington) is the main character and he is on journey to deliver that Bible to safety on a museum. On his way he finds companion who helps him complete that task. 

Carnegie (Gary Oldman) is the main bad guy. He has guys looking for books, but really he wants to get his hands on Bible. Because he believes that with that he could rule the humankind.

Claudia (Jennifer Beals) is Carnegie’s blind mistress and mother of Solara.

Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell) is the owner of the museum and he re-writes The Bible as the Eli tells him.

Special effects:There is so much of them in fighting scenes. You can know that they are effects, but still they look so much alive. Also when the house is gunned down camera comes towards the gun you can see it shooting but you will see its just an effect.

Genre: The genre of this movie is action, adventure and also drama. Its wonderful tale about task what you can complete if you just want to succeed in it.

My own opinion about this movie is that its so good that you can watch it many times and just then you can understand all what it tells to you.

Hachico is a drama film which was released in 2009. It is directed by Lasse Hallström. The film is a remake of the previously published A good and faithful servant(1987). The film is said that it is story about loyalty.

The film is about a dog and a host between loyalty. The main character (Richard Gere) save a dog named Hachico in the street. Dog and owner develop between the unbelievable  bond. Hachiko followed his master to work every day, and the train station to wait for him until the host can access from work. When the host dies, Hachiko will continue for many years to wait for the train station at a certain time.

The movie is very sad but at the same time lovely. I can almost promise that it will make every spectator even touched in some way. It is the reason why I love the movie so much. Even though I’ve watched the movie so many times I cry every time still as much.

I recommend the movie for everyone. It does not matter whether or not you do you like dogs but yet I believe that this affects even more dog people. It may even be that the attitude of dogs will change after seeing the movie.

P.S. I Love You is a american romantic comedy directed by Richard LaGravenese. The film is released at the end of 2007 and based on the novel of the same name by Cecilia Ahern. P.S. I Love You takes the topics of death and grieving and turns out a romantic comedy that’s played mostly for laughs.

There are two leading actors in the film. Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler star a married couple, called Holly and Gerry, who are deeply in love but they fight occasionally. Gerry is going to die and after his death Holly realizes how much he means to her. Holly is miserable and depressed and withdraws from her family and friends. Luckily Gerry has found a plan to help his wife make it through the grieving process. He has left 10 messages to Holly to help her pain and start new life, each of them ending with ”P.S. I Love You”. Eventually Holly gets over that her Irish husband has died and she have to move on her life, but how? That you will find out by watching the film!

The actors suit in the film perfectly. Hilary Swank does a good job by acting Holly who is so sensitive and pretty young woman. Whereas Gerry’s actor Gerard Butler is charismatic and he has a good singing voice.

The plot of the film is unusual for a romantic comedy but I think it works. The entire story is very touching and impressive and it makes me cry. The soundtrack is a well-selected love song. It suits in the theme very well and it’s so romantic with the film. While listening the soundtrack you could just replay memories that you might have on your own. I really enjoy listening to it. Because the film is a romantic comedy there’s not any special effects and the film is filmed in a normally way.

I think that P.S. I Love You is just a great film. I could watch it again and again. I recommend this film to all that loves romantic films. Prepare to cry!

A walk to remember is made in 2002 in the United States. It based on a novel by Nicholas Parks ”A walk to remember” and the film was directed by Adam Shankman. Mandy Moore and Shane West play a starring there. The film is a romantic, which tells about discreet, believer girl, Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) and popular, as well as rebel boy, Landon Carter (Shane West).

Jamie is not popular at their school and she know Landon, but they have never become friends even though they have been in the same school since childhood. However, Landon must take part in the school play and provide remedial instruction to students, because of punishment set by the school. As a result, they get to know each other better and even though at first Landon feel ashamed to be seen with Jamie, because of his reputation, in the end, he falls in love with Jamie and throw away his pride and defend her when his friends make fun of Jamie.

I like this movie a lot and that’s why I chose it. Actually, it`s one of the best movies I have ever seen, even perhaps the best. It`s the first movie that I watched without subtitles, but still I understood what was going on. It`s very touching film with all the great music, composed by Mervyn Warren. I liked the fact that the movie was a restrained, and there was no naked sex scenes. The love of two people described with expressions, words and music and that is admirable. It`s rare that nowadays people films this kind of movies.

The movie is very educational too. When you have seen it, you will understand the fact that it`s childish to pretend something else that you aren`t because of your reputation. The film gives also bravery to people who are bullied because of they believe in God, when they have seen what Jamie answered to her teasers. After watching film, you can realize too, how Landon changed and became a better person, after he fell in love with Jamie and began to date with her.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a sequel to the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes and both of the films are based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional characters. Main characters of the film are detective Sherlock Holmes, who is acted by Robert Downey Jr. and Dr. Watson, who is acted by Jude Law. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is action mystery film and it has released on December 2011. The film has directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is founded on 1890s’s Europe, when threat of the First World War was close. Holmes’s and Watson’s enemy Professor Moriarty, who is acted by Jared Harris, tries to debase attitude of nations by different betrayals and in that way to help the First World War to start. Holmes and Watson try to stop Professor Moriarty with their new ally Simza, who is acted by Noomi Rapace. They travel along boundary of France and Germany and end up at last to peace negotiations in Alps of Switzerland. In the peace negotiations happen something unusual but if you want to know what, you have to watch the movie!

Sherlock Holmes’s actor must be sarcastic, narcissistic, selfish and a little irresponsible, wise and shrewd but actor still need to be person who really cares, though he shows it lamentably rarely. That’s why I think Robert Downey Jr. is perhaps the best actor to play him; Downey really knows how to act that kind of person.
Jared Harris comports with Moriarty’s role well, because Harris looks like conveniently egoistic and mean scientist.
There is at times slow-motion scenes in the movie when characters fight or they escape. This helps to understand those scenes much better and it makes movie original.

I liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows much, because it is very brilliant movie. It is fun, there’s action in there and it expresses meaning of friendship. There’s many opinions of that film: some loves it and some don’t. Your own opinion you get only watching it.

 Enjoy the movie! =)

The Baytown Outlaws

The Baytown Outlaws (2012) is a film directed by Barry Battles and written by Battles and Griffin Hood. The movie tells about three rednecks called Lincoln Oodie (Daniel Cudmore), McQueen Oodie (Travis Fimmel) and Brick Oodie (Clayne Crawford). They agree to save young mentally handicapped kid called, Rob (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) from his godmother Celestes (Eva Longoria) ex-husband Carlos. Celeste pays them 25 000 $ for this job.
After they’ve saved the boy they come across very different opponents who work for Carlos and try to kill them and get Rob back to Carlos. Also one ATF agent tries to catch Oodie brothers.

The Movies plot was very interesting and suprising. Oodie brothers are un-educated and pretty dumb. They’ve born and raised in southern states and they’re true rednecks and it gave suprisingly good nuance for the plot. Also Oodies relationship to Sherriff Henry Millard (Andre Braugher) reveals to be pretty shocking as the movie goes on. Turns in movie were not boring and they kept interest on all along the movie.

Characters fitted in the plot very well. They were desingned quiet good and adapting the plot. Especially Lincoln Oodie is very interesting character because he is very strong and big. But the thing that makes him special is that he can’t speak. On the other hand McQueen character is stereotype of rednecks because the way he talks and acts. Brick is the smartest one. He is the ”brains” of the brothers and he desings all the gigs.

Camerawork is really good and it creates awesome athmosphere for the plot. Especially the fights, shootings and bloodsheds were quiet dashing.

The movie is categorized as action and comedy, but I think that it contained also drama. Especially Robs situation and how the movie ended was touching and dramatic.

I recommend this movie to all who like action films with the nuance of comedy and drama. Also if you’re into guns, killing and sweet rides this movie is must-see film.
