Rabbit Reviews

It is very hard to classify the genre of this movie, it combines horror, mystery and thriller elements that come together in a blend that is very interesting to watch. And I am sure that it will leave you wondering at the end, what the fuck happened? It is the intention of the director to create this curious vibe, so just go along with it. Couple of friends go on a yachting trip, when an electrical storm leaves them at open sea. When they board a giant cruise ship that appears to be abandoned strange things will start to happen. Visually good, and story-wise very amusing this flick is perfect for some evenings that you need to take your mind of the daily problems and try to figure out what the fuck happened and how can that be… Enjoy.

Director: Christopher Smith

Cast: Liam Hemsworth, Melissa George, Michael Dorman, Rachael Carpani, Emma Lung, Henry Nixon

This little gem(such a classical beginning for a movie review, I shall not use any more ) has been hidden from the public for a long time. When it comes to claymation movies, you know that hard work is just one of the ingredients, the next one is a story and oh boy does this movie has a story to tell. It focuses on lives of people in an apartment complex in Sydney and their bleak destinies. Everyone of them has his sets of problems that encumber them. But all of the separate stories merge in their search for a meaning of life. They will find it in different things. Very intelligent and thoughtful movie that makes you think, but the claymation and the cute characters made it very appealing. I am sure that even as a regular movie it would have been great, it is just a bit sad that it is not that famous… Enjoy.

Based on a true story, this phenomenal movie established Will Smith as a serious actor, capable of performing more demanding roles. Following the life of Chris Gardner, and his struggle to survive in this cruel world with his son it perpetuates our own personal pursuit of happiness. Filled with heart breaking moments that will bring tears to your eyes. With almost hopeful music this movie excels at almost every category, but two most important elements are the story and the performance of Will, especially in the last scene, holy fuck he was good. Very profound movie that needs to be seen several times in order to fully understand its complexity. I am interested how will you see it as a whole, when it all sums up it is very questionable to say that it represents a social critic of a society, I think it rather instills some controversial thoughts.

Director: Gabriele Muccino

Cast: Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Brian Howe, James Karen, Dan Castellaneta, Kevin West

Coming to us from famous Joel Schumacher(The Number 23, Phone Booth, 8MM, Falling Down) this movie is surprisingly not mainstream, big production effort. It rather represents an independent production with good visual effects. The story has great ingredients but the way they are cooked is somewhat questionable. Nazi experiments, Vikings, satanism, supernatural powers and the clash between good and evil erupt in this movie. The only problem is that most of those ideas are not elaborated and explained, that would make them even more appealing to audience. After the disappearance of his brother Evan Marshall has tried to lead a normal life as a paramedic, but once he appears and asks him to join him in a fight against an unknown enemy his life will take a different course. Visual effects and action sequences are very good, and the movie has that cool, almost comic like vibe. Although people might find this movie a bit shallow it is still very interesting, enjoy.

Director: Joel Schumacher

Cast: Dominic Purcell, Henry Cavill, Michael Fassbender, Emma Booth, Rainer Winkelvoss

Directed by famous (and now ultra popular Tim Burton) this movie is highly underrated. I guess everyone expecting something more in line of his classic movies, and not this type of parody. So before you check it out, you might wanna check out some of the hype sixties, seventies and even eighties cheesy movies of aliens attacking the Earth because this is spoof of those flicks (and many others). So after detecting the flying saucers in the space around the Earth, government is preparing a welcoming committee for the aliens, hoping to establish a friendly relationship. But as you probably guessed aliens have something else in their mind. In a cast there is not a single unknown actor and you will probably enjoy in their zany performances. One more perk is that you see Sarah Jessica Parker after the alien experiment with some animal(I think that a horse would be more suiting for it, but what to do ). Colorful characters, great ending(guess what movie is it from) and everything else in between. Enjoy.

Director: Tim Burton
