It's been a while since I've posted fresh content as a part of the Top Five series at the blog. However, this elapsed time has allowed me to gather lots and lots of info I thought you guys might find interesting and, perhaps, useful (during those moments when you just don't know what to do with yourself out of boredom). Well, no fear as I've compiled best movies I've watched so far and I think anyone and everyone who has me as their Facebook buddy might testify that I've watched a lot of movies recently. We're talking about dozens of movies during the past 2-3 months. I think you'll sympathise when I tell you that narrowing all those movies at only top five was an unbearable (and impossible) task. As a part of the Top Five: Movies I've Watched Recently post, I have my top six movies prepared for ya and a few on the side note. Let's kick things off with the one I have freshest memories of – Edge Of Tomorrow (2014.). You may not know this but I was a fierce Sci-Fi fan a few years back. Than the genre was tainted by lousy actors, predictable and poorly executed plots and let me not forget horrific absence of compelling effects. Let me rephrase that – Hollywood killed the science fiction as well as horror genres. Nevertheless, Tom Cruise truly shines in this one truly giving its perhaps best Sci-Fi performance (besides Oblivion). Emily Blunt also impressed me and I must say that I though her estethic surgeon is brilliant. Who prefers Sci-Fi in general might be interested in Lucy (2014.) which was one of my most coveted movies lately but I kinda fell a bit flat. It does keep the viewer entertained throughout but I felt like something was missing. A brilliant theme that could perhaps be worked a bit better. If you're a fan of Sci-Fi and ScarJo (I just had to put that nickname there), and you're not shying away from artistic, indie niche – Under The Skin (2013.) might be worth watching. Just remember, it's very interesting but not for everyone. Another Sci-Fi that is a bit different than the stereotypical kind is Transcendence (2014.) with Johnny Depp. This one does make you think about lots of things, definitely worth a watch. If you're into European movies, I have a brilliant recommendation – Headhunters (2011.). This is a fabulous, smart, witty, exceptional movie from Norway in which everything is well thought. Every last detail and the story is so good. This movie is based upon “Headhunters” novel by Jo Nesbø and is one of the best thrillers I've ever watched. Another gem from Norway is Varg Veum – Fallen Angels (2008.). Not as unpredictable as Headhunters but is a great mystery based on a best-selling Norwegian crime novel by Gunnar Staalesen.
Proslo je dosta vremena otkada sam objavila svjez sadrzaj u sklopu Top Pet serijala na blogu. Ipak, mislim da je proteklo vrijeme ucinilo da sakupim dosta materijala za novi post za koji se nadam da bi vam mogao biti zanimljiv i koristan (u nocima kada naprosto ne znate sta da cinite od sebe zbog dosade). Bez brige, napravila sam (po mom skromnom misljenju) dobru kompilaciju izvrsnih filmova koje sam do sada odgledala. I vjerujte da ce vam svako ko me ima u prijateljima na Facebook-u posvjedociti da sam gledala dosta ali stvarno mislim dosta filmova. Otprilike sam tokom protekla 2-3 mjeseca pregledala desetke filmova i vjerujem da cete suosjecati kada vam kazem da je bilo izuzetno tesko, skoro pa nemoguce odabrati samo pet najboljih. U sklopu Top Pet: Filmovi koje sam gledala u posljednje vrijeme posta, pripremila sam sest najboljih filmova ali i dosta kratkih referenci i preporuka ‘sa strane’, cisto da imate dosta ideja za filmske veceri. Zapocnimo od filma koji mi je najsvjeziji u sjecanju – Edge Of Tomorrow (2014.). Mozda ne znate ali prije par godina sam bila zestoki fan zanra naucne fantastike. Potom je zanr ukaljan novim ostvarenjima sa groznim glumcima, lose osmisljenim te jos gore izvrsenim scenarijima a ne smijem zaboraviti i niz katastrofalno ocitih ‘posebnih efekata’. Da skratim – Hollywood je unistio Sci-Fi kao i horor zanr. Bez obzira na skoro beznadezno stanje, Tom Cruise je istinski pruzio fantasticnu glumu, mozda i najbolju koju sam od njega vidjela u sklopu Sci-Fi filmova koje je snimio (uz Oblivion, naravno). Emily Blunt me takodjer strasno ugodno iznenadila i iako nema veze sa temom – pruzam ruku njenom estetskom hirurgu, covjek je ucinio savrsen posao. Tko inace voli naucnu fantastiku mogao bi biti zainteresovan za Lucy (2014.) koji je bio mozda i film koji sam najvise ocekivala. Malo sam se osjecala ‘meh’ nakon sto sam ga pogledala (ne vrijedi imati nevjerovatno velika ocekivanja) ali cinjenica jeste da drzi gledatelja zainteresovanim tokom cijelog prikazivanja. Naprosto, kao da mi je nesto nedostajalo. Izuzetno dobra tema koju je mozda moglo i mrvicu bolje obraditi. Ukoliko volite i Sci-Fi i ScarJo (napokon prilika da iskoristim nadimak iz zutila), i ne bojite se pogledati umjetnicki, indie film – Under The Skin (2013.) bi vrijedilo pogledati. Izuzetno je specifican i nije za svakoga, imajte to na umu. Jos jedan zanimljiv film koji se ne utapa u stereotipima je Transcendence (2014.) sa Johnny Depp-om. Zaista je ucinio da se zamislim oko toliko stvari i itekako mislim da je vrijedan izdvojenog vremena. Ukoliko volite evropsku kinematografiju, imam nevjerovatnu preporuku za vas – Headhunters (2011.). Radi se o iznimno zanimljivom, pametnom, intrigantnom i uopsteno fantasticnom filmu norveske produkcije. U ovom filmu je mnogo paznje polozeno na detaljima a prica je blago receno odlicna. Ovaj film se temelji na knjizi “Lovci na glave’ koji je napisao Jo Nesbø i zvanicno je jedan od najboljih trilera koje sam ikada pogledala. Jos jedan dobar film koji nam dolazi iz Norveske je Varg Veum – Fallen Angels (2008.). Ne posjeduje nivo nepredvidivosti kao Headhunters ali intrige ne manjka i stvarno je odlicna misterija koja je zasnovana takodjer na krimicu koji je napisao Gunnar Staalesen.
Third favorite movie I can recommend is The Fault In Our Stars (2014.). Now ladies, my honest advice is that you watch this movie in the privacy of your home. Watch it alone – no girlfriends as that might be too much emotion for one room to bare and most certainly – don't watch it with your significant half (especially if it's male). You will need tons of tissues or toilet paper and let the cathartic experience begin! I'm dead serious about this one – I left my heart and soul, no – I've cried my eyes, heart and soul while I was watching this movie and I don't regret a single tear. You will fall in love with Hazel and Gus and probably feel very happy and grateful for what you have in your life after you're done with the movie. If you've had your dose of lovey-dovey things and are in the mood for some meaningful action, interesting plot, believe in destiny and don't mind seeing Shia LaBeouf in some tear inducing, laugh bursting and a tad naive scenes – go for The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman (2013.). This movie made me fall in love with Bucharest. Seriously. Next two movies are not the kind for sensitive souls that feel shy at the mention of filthy words or absurd nudity scenes. Dom Hemingway (2013.) is a raw movie, no gentle talk or handling can be seen here (interpret this as you wish). Notorious, beyond repair safe-cracker Dom goes through a roller coaster of emotions in a short period of time after doing a long sentence in jail. You sometimes loathe the man, sometimes you cry for him but you're mostly shocked at what crazy stuff he's doing throughout the movie. Jude Law is beyond amazing in this role (truth be told, as always) and I seriously recommend watching this arrogant role of his flourish by the end of 90th minute. If you're into a softer but none less disappointing Jude Law performance, than I can recommend Side Effects (2013.). Brilliant, smart movie. I adore James McAvoy in Filth (2013.) – as weird as that sounds. This is beyond every thought of what a corrupt cop may be you had in your head. This is the craziest movie lots of us watched in a long time and indeed it left me speechless. You just don't have enough time to react to every shocking thing you see or hear. I mean, this raw masterpiece comes from the creator of Trainspotting (1996.) so you just know that it will be fantastic! If you're easily offended, skip it but everyone else will think of the movie days after you've watched it.
Treci omiljeni film koji sam gledala i koji ima moju preporuku je The Fault In Our Stars (2014.). I dame, moji iskreni savjeti su slijedeci – pogledajte ovaj film u privatnosti svog doma. Gledajte ga dok ste same – bez prijateljica, sestara itd. jer niti jedna soba stvarno nece izdrzati udruzene nivoe emocija koje ovaj film izaziva bez da se pod njima ne urusi. Sto je mozda najvaznije, nemojte ovaj film gledati sa svojim znacajnim polovinama (ako ih imate, jel). Muskarci nece dobro podnijeti vase jecaje. Pripremite dosta maramica ili barem jednu rolnu toalet papira i prepustite se katarzi! Stvarno se ne salim oko ovih preporuka – ostavila sam srce i dusu, ne – isplakala sam oci, srce i dusu tokom ovog filma i ne zalim niti jednu, jedinu suzu ni uzdah. Zaljubiti cete se u Hazel i Gus-a te cete se vjerovatno zamisliti koliko ste ustvari sretne sto imate neke najosnovnije stvari u zivotu nakon sto pogledate ovaj film. Ukoliko ste nakon ovoga dobile svoju dozu filmske ljubavi a raspolozene ste za akciju koja ima smisla (ne bas, ali se odlicno uklapa u radnju), zudite za zanimljivom radnjom, vjerujete u sudbinu i ne smeta vam par scena u kojima Shia LaBeouf cini da oci zasuze, nasmijava vas svojom naivnoscu – onda pogledajte The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman (2013.). Zbog ovog filma sam takodjer pozeljela da posjetim Bukurest jer sam se zaljubila u taj grad. Da, ozbiljno. Naredna dva filma nisu za osjetljive dusice koje se zacrvene na spomen prostih rijeci ili ukoliko se sakrivate ispod pokrivaca cim vidite golotinju. Dom Hemingway (2013.) je ‘sirov’ film u kojem nema njeznih rijeci niti tapsanja po ramenu. Dom, ozloglaseni, nepopravljivi obijac sefova prolazi kroz nagle dogadjaje na slobodi nakon dugotrajne kazne koju je izdrzao u zatvoru. Nekada cete glavnog lika prezirati, nekada ce vam se srce stegnuti zbog njega ali vecinu vremena cete samo sjediti u soku otvorenih usta zbog svih ludosti koje cini tokom filma. Jude Law je fantasticno odglumio (kao i uvijek) i stvarno preporucujem da pogledate kako ce ovaj arogantni lik da se transformise do kraja 90-te minute. Ukoliko ste pak za nesto manje sokantnu pricu ali ne imalo losiju glumu Jude Law-a, onda preporucujem Side Effects (2013.). To je brilijantan, inteligentan film. Potpuno sam opcinjena sa Jamesom McAvoy-om i njegovom glumom iz filma Filth (2013.) Njegov lik daleko prevalizali svaku mogucu pretpostavku koju imate o ‘prljavim’, korumpiranim policajcima. Ovo je najludji film koji je vjerujem bilo tko ko ga je gledao uopste imao priliku da pogleda u zadnje vrijeme. Jednostavno nemate vremena da odreagujete na svaku sokantnu stvar koju vidite ili cujete. Ako imate na umu da ovaj izvrstan film dolazi od kreatora klasicnog remek-djela Trainspotting (1996.), jednostavno znate da cete gledati nesto fantasticno! Ukoliko vas previse sokiraju ili vrijedjaju neke stvari, preskocite ga ali svi ostali ce ostati dugo pod dojmovima nakon gledanja ovog nekonvencionalnog filma.
