С мръсна газ / Drive Angry 3D - I'm certain that Drive Angry could be the perfect guilty pleasure for many but somehow I cannot overcome the unpleasant feeling that its main protagonist is played by Nicolas Cage. Perhaps, now, when the film tanked in the USA, the producers will understand that this man is overrated as an actor, he not only cannot act (or at least he is too lazy to care) but also has the strange habit to experiment with bad haircuts... The only bonus points are awarded to William Fichtner as one of Drive Angry's villains called simply The Accountant. (Alexandra)
Агенти на съдбата / The Adjustment Bureau - The March movie calendar starts with quite a pleasant surprise, coming from this Matt Damon-Emily Blunt vehicle. Genre speaking, The Adjustment Bureau is a sci-fi, but actually, and here lies its success, it's a romantic film, and one of the best for quite a long time. The movie, however, would not have worked if there was no chemistry between the two leads (take note Depp and Jolie!). Blunt and Damon are just marvellous as the characters who are not destined to be with each other, despite their blooming love and passion. In most of the film you will so root for them and cross fingers that they will escape the traps of fate, that you will not pay attention to the holes of the plot. Not that there are many anyway...(Forum Film)
Любовта е опиат / Love and Other Drugs - Oh, when I wrote my first "MISSED OPPORTUNITY" in January, who'd have thought that I'd be proven wrong. Yes, the movie's cinema distribution was cancelled but then the plans were relaunched, which, fingers crossed, will happen more often. So, the wait was definitely worth it as Love and Other Drugs is not only great fun but may also raise some serious questions. Jake Gyllenhaal's Persian days are long forgotten, while Anne Hathaway is slowly, but steadily, turning into one of the best young actresses. And it is also great to see director Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai) trying something contemporary as a plot. The only problem, however, is that if you want to choose between romantic films this weekend, you should definitely select the aforementioned The Adjustment Bureau. Or you can just watch both...(Alexandra)
MISSED OPPORTUNITY - Rabbit Hole - There really should be no surprised that this drama, with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart in the lead, did not reach the cinema screens despite such plans. First, it comes from the only distributor of independent movies whose The Fighter vanished from the screens in just two weeks (don't remember such a record recently) and second, Rabbit Hole deals with serious subjects such as an unbearable loss, which as many know is avoided by the "too-clever" multiplex audience. It's a shame, really... (Tandem)
