Day 6: Jumanji by Jake Kasdan

Deje un comentario

 

(2018) Kasdan virgin. I havent even watch “Sex tape” (2014) or “Bad teacher” (2011), and apparently, both are funny films. Jumanji was pretty funny, went w sis and I was laughing half of the time there. I dont know how he did it but the Rock could act like a average teenager was inside his body. And then there was Karen Gillan, who I have miss so much from my days of watching Doctor who. And then, fucking magic, Jack Black was also more than hilarious. I think the whole remake shit can become bullshit can ruined a movie pretty bad, but I dont think it ruined this one. It was the same concept but less scary for me and more funny. Also, related more to team work than anything. But I must say I cant rememer very well the original movie from 1995 with Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst, but what I do remember (maybe because I was younger) is that it was really scary in a awesome way, but still gave me like creepy-adrenaline feelings. Even the kids, gave the movie a juvenile fun and sweet feeling. I only know one of them Alex Wolf,  and his character relationship with Morgan Turner was honest and very down-to-earth.

Its really worth your cash and time.

 

Happy watching!

Day 1: Dr. Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick

Spoilers coming!

1964. Kubrick made the screenplay. Esta movie es despues de Spartacus (1960) y Lolita (1962). I consider myself a Kubrick virgin. Porque solo he visto A Clockwork Orange (1971). Y esta movie me gusto mucho mas que la ultima. Es una satira, y esta llena de momentos irónicos sobre la vida like “Dont fight here, this is the war room” o como el doc Strangelove no puede evitar levantar su mano en saludo nazi, y llamar al presidente estadounidense “mein führer” un par de veces. Como caracterizan a los rusos like drunk people, cuando su principal representante ruso tiene una charla con el presidente estadounidense ebrio, and they both look like kids talking in the park. Con jokes como el “coommander” cuyo nombre es Jack D. Ripper, like Jack the Ripper, ha perdido la cordura completamente y somete al oficial britanico. Small detail, Peter Sellers retrara al presidente estadounidense, al doc Strangelove, y a este britanico. And you cant even notice it. Luego esta el efusivo general Buck que considera que los comunistas pueden dar excusas para todos y que en realidad atacar primero con “misiles” es la mejor idea.  After all of the nonsense, todos los soldados americanos que tenia misiles con objetivos rusos son retornados a sus bases militares, salvo uno, bastante significativo cuyo “piloto” general es un cowboy en su totalidad. Que no piensa en nada mejor que quedarse sobre el misil cuando este esta “despegando” hacia su objetivo, and hes screaming like a cowboys while all hes about to die. With a smile on his face. And with his cowboy hat I think. The whole film ends with fireworks of course. And where every male has 10 females to “reproduce” because now they are living in caves. For 100 years. Por la radioactividad, you guys. Con todo ese tono algo “serio” ante las bromas del film, lo disfrutas. Y con todo, la audencia de cachimbos o casi cachimbos de letras con varias risas le hizo justicia al film.

Its a very enjoyable film and please watch it. If you have the time. And like old films? Wont regret it. La pude ver gracias al ciclo de cine ruso de letras. (Info here http://facultad.pucp.edu.pe/generales-letras/ciclo-cine-ruso-cien-anos-la-revolucion/ )
