New in Bulgarian Cinemas from October 7

Къщата на сенките / Dream House - The parade of bad movies continues with the start of October, with one of the biggest disappointments being this horror misfire. The trailer has already revealed the big twist, so if you've never watched it, don't do it now. Not that this is the most serious problem with Dream House. In addition to the spoiled twist, everything else in the plot is not only awfully predictable but is soaked with ridiculousness, in which even the big names from the cast do not believe. Worst, the movie lacks any tension or thrills, while the settings, the music and the cinematography are more typical to B-film stuff. Speaking of the cast, it's not only misjudged but also feels incredibly embarrassed from everything going on in front of the camera. Daniel Craig makes a low point in his career, while Rachel Weisz should have appeared in Mummy 3 rather than this. In other words - it's a house which should have been locked forever. (Alexandra) *

Жива стомана / Real Steel - It looks like I have a real problem with the work of director Shawn Levy. He has definitely become a craftsman who despite his steady career has never done anything to pass the test of time. His movies are like a box of chocolates - shiny and sweet but at the end you may only have cavitas. Unfortunately, the situation doesn't improve much with his latest outing. This Hugh Jackman-vehicle is still better than the disastrous Nights in The Museum, but at the end you'll just crave for more. Storywise, the film is simple and coherent, albeit predictable and has a feelgood father-son story that will be cherished by many (and especially by the US critics). Still, at places the writers didn't resist the urge to fall into corniness, which could make you laugh when you're supposed to cry. Hugh Jackman (steady girls!) is okay in the title role but is easily outshined by Dakota Goyo, the young actor who plays his onscreen son. Technically the film is exquisitely made, but when the much maligned by critics Transformers offers more intriguing robot fights, then some gadget in the Real Steel engine may be out of steam.

Ларго Уинч: Конспирация Бирма / Largo Winch 2 - Last time I checked, it's only when the French combine action with comedy they can really come up with a good action film. However, when they try to copy Hollywood in the genre, the end product is curious but shallow. And just to prove this, some of the best moments of Largo Winch 2 are those when Nicolas Vaude, in the role of the title character's sidekick, is on screen. Anyway, the makers of the movie have given their best to produce some great action scenes (the initial car chase or the parachute jump), while Tomer Sisley is steady as Largo Winch. The too complicated plot, the long running time and on top of it the acting of Sharon Stone however make every effort to be in vain. (Pro Films) **

Операция - Шменти капели / Operacia - Shmenti kapeli (Bulgaria) - It's a Bulgarian movie distributed by his director, famous comedy actor Vladi Vargala, and so, no one cared to invite the "insignificant" bloggers at a screening. It's not that when I saw the trailer I had any desire to watch the whole thing...
