During 1 hr. 40 min. the most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

A perfect film based on love, humor and action are well combined. Despite being a failed Marvel Comics’ superhero, this character reflects some pure feelings and looks unbreakable. Reynolds is terrific, brave, straight forward in a comic way with his opinions and frantic nature. This might be enjoyable for some viewers with clever pre-emptive strike silly stereotypes and basically becomes in an original antihero with no limits of violence, sex, and cynicism. Definitely a character that would be consider the best mutant of salty humor and great humor.

Magnolia Pictures will open Danish filmmaker Tobias Lindholm’s (Writer/Director of A HIJACKING; Co-writer of THE HUNT and “Borgen”) bruising and brooding third feature, A war, begins with commander Claus M. Pedersen (Pilou Asbæk, star of the upcoming sixth season of Game of Thrones) and his men are stationed in an Afghan province. Meanwhile, back in Denmark, Claus’ wife Maria (Tuva Novotny) is trying to hold everyday life together with a husband at war and three children who are missing their father. During a routine mission, the soldiers are caught in heavy crossfire and in order to save his men, Claus makes a decision that has grave consequences for not only him, but also for his family back home. As Lindholm did with his gripping hostage drama A HIJACKING, he once again employs those who have been closest to the conflict. In A war he uses Danish soldiers and Taliban warriors, relatives and refugees, as he strives towards realism. Definitely is a film that involved ethics and legal chaos in the battled field. Therefore, many parts of the plot were well managed with sensitivity and detail. Many scenes reflect the humane side and the stressful moments of a martial court. Be a commander officer means to accomplish any kind of duty and foremost to ensure the safety of his soldiers and to treat all Afghans, without distinction, as potential enemies. The best and well rounded characters and brilliantly played in each scene.

A portrait of a bad brotherhood in “Rams”

By Jenny A.

In a secluded valley in Iceland, Gummi and Kiddi live side by side, tending to their sheep.  Their ancestral sheep-stock is considered one of the country’s best and the two brothers are repeatedly awarded for their prized rams who carry an ancient lineage.  Although they share the land and a way of life, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to each other in four decades.  When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s sheep, the entire valley comes under threat.  The authorities decide to cull all the animals in the area to contain the outbreak. This is a near death sentence for the farmers, whose sheep are their main source of income, and many abandon their land.  But Gummi and Kiddi don’t give up so easily – and each brother tries to stave off the disaster in his own fashion: Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits.  As the authorities close in, the brothers will need to come together to save the special breed passed down for generations, and themselves, from extinction. This film has unpredictable plot with certain compassion through the main characters. The best part is that in each family one member always will be a brother, who dominates more than the others especially when your brother is your worst troublemaker neighbor but a particular issue makes that these men have support as would have been better from the beginning. Definitely Rams feels of a master piece from Iceland with great style and engaging to see it.

During 105 minutes Omero Antonutti, Margarita Lozano, Claudio Bigagli, and Massimo Bonett had their best performance in this great Italian film Night of the Shooting Stars. It is the Night of San Lorenzo, the night when dreams come true. While watching shooting stars, Cecilia tells her son about a similar night in 1944, when she was six years old and the residents of San Martino, her small Tuscan town, defied their Nazi occupiers. The Tuscany region of Italy, suffers the worst face of World War II in which locals anxiously awaiting the arrival of the American soldiers who will liberate them but their freedom has a price. Definitely, a plot very well structured full of green sceneries and some tragedies for each character  will mark this film with the best style of these Italian directors  Paolo & Vittorio Taviani.

 

“Kaos” is speechless

Kaos is a film full of Magic, drama, misery, and hope are given life in five tales adapted from Luigi Pirandello’s Novelle per un anno. With a strong, poetic vision of Sicilian life, directors Paolo and Vittorio Taviani imbue this epic masterpiece with a serene, sympathetic revelation of mankind that transcends the boundaries of time. During 188 minutes, the viewer will enjoy the best cast by Margarita Lozano, Orazio Torrisi, and Carlo Cartier. During 188 minutes, this great film evokes the mystery, drama, and stark beauty of Sicily. This film must truly be the most beautiful cinematic achievement ever.

“Padre Padrone” well known as Father and Master

Starring Omero Antonutti, Saverio Marconi, and Marcella Michelangeli, all of them come from the real experience of writer Gavino Ledda, the film finds impoverished Sardinian boy Gavino forced to quit school by his overbearing and abusive father. Committed to the traditions of his homeland, Gavino’s father feels his son is of more use to the family as a shepherd than a student. As he matures, the adult Gavino finds his way in the world, first by discovering music and then by learning a trade while serving in the military. The performances of the actors are great and never overdone and in general all these three films are timeless, with an imagery. The style of the director is unique, isolated and cruel but also full of uniquely intense life and nostalgic beauty.
