Woman in Gold (2015)
Truly inspirational.
In this film Helen Mirren plays Maria Altmann, an Austrian-American refugee during the WWII. The film tries to capture how hard was for this people to live during the era. We know that there are things that money can't buy, things that are full with sentiments and memories that we find hard to be separate to them. It appears that in Maria's case her family paintings, were that thing. I've always loved Hans Zimmer soundtracks, his music makes you feel the films on a much deeper way, in this case he joins Martin Phipps to create a very good soundtrack for this film. Films based on true events makes films to remember, but in order to truly enjoy this film, you must turn on the empathy switch and let yourself feel the pain of being forced to leave the things you love the most behind.
Survivor (2015)
Did you ever thought of how would a fight between Alice and Mr. Bond would look like?
Well, this film might give you a glance of it. We've seen Milla playing on action films like the Resident Evil saga, and how to forget Pierce Brosnan from Bond movies like GoldenEye and Die Another Day. So when it comes to choosing the cast, these guys nailed it. So all along the film, as most action movies, you may expect some chasing scenes, fights, explosions, and cops. Now you might think, "ok, so what could possibly go wrong?" no? The Story!
Don't take me wrong, the story is not bad at all, as a manner of fact I did like it. I loved watching Milla running through the streets and becoming stronger, and what could you possibly ask to Pierce? Elegance, power, class, a ridiculously good profile? Well he has it all. But there's nothing you haven't seen before, and that was the problem, nothing you haven't seen before. Come on guys, we've seen hundredths of films like this before, good locations, effects, actors, but if someone wants to make a film to remember, he must blew our minds off the earth, and this film didn't make outside the atmosphere.
So if you wan't to spend the night watching a good action film to pass the time, this might be the best option in the market at the moment. But in my personal opinion, do not expect something superb.
