Movie Reviews:
I watched Carol at the New York Film Festival, days after watching Freeheld. Since both movies talk about love relationship between two women, I was afraid I was going to see the same thing. Gladly, I couldn't be more wrong. Carol is such a beautiful movie, subtler than I had expected.
Even though I loved the movie, I'm aware that it's not for everybody. It's not fast paced, as current films tend to be. It takes its time to carefully construct the characters and to make us root for them. Credit is due to the cast, as Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara are brilliant, and to the director Todd Haynes, who conducts well the story.
Moreover, the film is visually stunning, with impeccable make-ups and wardrobes, not to mention the beautiful locations covered in snow while they take a road-trip. Finally, the soundtrack is equally wonderful, with songs that correctly set the tone of their relationship.
It probably won't be a box office hit, but I do hope everybody gets a chance to see it eventually.

Movie Reviews:
The
script is laughable and the acting (often voice-over), too. The 3D sex
is well marketed. And yes, during certain scenes people got up and left.
Yet. The film doesn't argue to be anything beyond a meandering stroll
into the gallows melancholy. And it does this very very well. The film
features no highbrow intellectual conversations but instead, favors the
same lines you've probably slung at your lovers. Again and again and
again. Just like the sex you've had with your lovers again and again and
again. You know their bodies and you know how to please them and above
all, you know how to hurt them. Sorrow. There's a resplendent simplicity
here that hypnotizes the viewer.
You hear music banging inside the club, yet the lovers are outside in halflight. Having sex, obviously. This is a good image of what this film surprisingly achieves best: intimacy. And it fights for that with it's magnificent camera-work and editing.
But what would this review be if it didn't talk about the 3D sex? Love and cinema are inseparable. Love stories are why you stick glued to a chair for a couple of hours. Raw sex is part of love, yet, films used to cut to birds necking after a kiss. Then it became steamy windows. Signs, metaphors, analogies, semiotic nausea. And here, Noé takes that away which makes the film even coarser, and ultimately more brutal.

Goosebumps (2015)
Director:
Rob Letterman
Writers:
Darren Lemke (screenplay), Scott Alexander (story)
Stars:
Jack Black, Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush
Storyline
Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper
(Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful
girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver
lining has a cloud, and Zach's comes when he learns that Hannah has a
mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine (Jack Black), the
author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a
reason why Stine is so strange... he is a prisoner of his own
imagination - the monsters that his books made famous are real, and
Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books.
When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts
and they begin to terrorize the town, it's suddenly up to Stine, Zach,
Hannah, and Zach's friend Champ (Ryan Lee) to get all of them back in
the books where they belong.
Movie Reviews:
Instead
of adapting any one or a select few of Stine's 100-plus "Goosebumps"
tales, the filmmakers opt for a greatest-hits mishmash that prioritizes
the spectacle of a parade of monsters over any attempt at atmosphere or
mystery. The result is like gorging on trick-or- treat candy — it may
sound like a fun idea, but you'll pay for it later.
Clean-cut teen protagonist Zach (Dylan Minnette) moves with his widowed mom (a grossly underused Amy Ryan) from New York to sleepy suburban Madison, Del. Hoping for a fresh start in the wake of his father's untimely death, Zach finds an immediate distraction in the enigmatic girl next door, Hannah (Odeya Rush), whose overprotective father (Jack Black) warns Zach in no uncertain terms to stay away.
That's especially hard to do when — in a "Rear Window" homage — Zach spies a father-daughter argument and Hannah disappears. Soon enough, a meta twist reveals that Hannah's father is actually author R.L. Stine. He lives in seclusion to protect his original "Goosebumps" manuscripts, which have the power to manifest the monsters described within when opened.
