Ed Wood (1994)
A movie about a hero
I won't write a lot about this masterpiece but I can only say that this Burton's film is one of the best his jobs. I think so not only because I love his movies but also because he created a film which, in my opinion, reflects Wood's personality perfectly. Johnny Depp did his best. He did what not every actor could do to my mind. I also liked that movie is black and white. Thus, I could better feel the epoch which is shown in the film. I gave 7 because some scenes of the film seemed too long but it is not a big problem. The film is great and I definitely recommend it.
Arizona Dream (1993)
Couldn't understand how, why and what.
If this movie were my dream, I would say that it is absolutely crazy and I wouldn't want to dream this again. Seems like this movie has a lot of story lines and I would like to say that too much. One moment I'm trying to understand one scene, but it's quite difficult because there are more than one story lines in one scene. Everything would be fine if those story lines were very clear, but they weren't. Actually, some scenes seemed silly for me. I love mind blowing movies, but this one... Yes, it is mind blowing, but I can't say that I liked it. I think it is too far from reality. Yes, this movie helped for Johnny Depp, helped to grow up like an actor, helped for his career path, but only he can say why and how, because I can't understand. Axel (Johnny Depp) was very passive character. He kept a close watch on everything. This movie balance between reality and fantasy. Personally, I prefer reality... By the way, some scenes looked unnecessary. Plot is too wide. Of course, this is my opinion. Watch this movie and make your own decision.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)
The melancholy which makes to see light in the dark.
In my opinion, this movie is a masterwork which changes people' opinions from 1993 y. until nowadays. Outstandingly good are shown family relationships, respect, family, love and other values. In short - things which sometimes we need, but we don't have, because we forget to use it. Gilbert is an example of person who thinks more about other people than about himself. It is so gratifying to watch how Gilbert Grape takes up his father's place. The character is developed very well. Soundtracks are inserted in time and in place. Arnie's character made me nervous, but on the other hand Leonardo DiCaprio developed him perfectly. I recommend this movie for those who love dramas. You will like it one hundred percent. You will fall in love with this movie, because there are so much such as: love, funny moments, disappointments, anguish, fortune, pain, poverty and anger. Plot is very gripping. Cast tried that viewer would feel every emotion which feels the character. It seems that during those 116 minutes nothing happens, but it isn't true. 9/10.
Benny & Joon (1993)
Individually nice and cute
I hadn't seen any Jeremiah S. Chechik's job before, but this one is more than good. I gave 9,because some movie's moments were a little bit too long. First seconds of the movie told me that movie will be very interesting and good. That soundtrack was used perfectly, it fixed my mood immediately, because it's very feel-good and fun. Johnny Depp performed excellent - as always. His character was super weird, but cute and lovely too. Sam and I have something in common. I envisaged a parallel between us. We both love old movies. Person (me too) is always satisfied when he see something in common between characters and himself. Sam I liked the most not even because I like Johnny Depp, but because he's the most dramatic personality in all movie and he acts very natural. Super. Actually, I have never seen something like this movie - I mean story and plot. A masterpiece which should be know all people who love watching very good movies. I recommend.
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
Unworthy of attention.
I didn't rate this movie for 1, because I still feel a little bit of respect for Wes Craven. The first part I rated for 10 and I think my decision was absolutely right, but this part is awful, terrible and punk. We all perfect now why. Not always it is pleasing to see other and parts of the same movie. I'm talking about follow-ups. Idea and story overwrite. That's why all these later parts are awful. Actors' acting wasn't surprising nice, they were too fake sometimes. I didn't like make up at all. I'd like to ask why Freddy's make up was really better in the first part? I can't understand. It really disappointed me very much. Anyway, the most absurdity scenes were scene with TV and scene with video game. I don't understand how other people this movie can call "horror movie"... Not scary at all. All I want to say is that I don't think this movie is scary. If director hadn't created all other parts of this movie, my opinion about Freddy would have been better.
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Best drama of all ages!
I was a little girl when the first time I watched "Edward Scissorhands". Even then I said that it's the best movie in the World! And even then I understood that it has an incredible story and beautiful, but unlucky love. This movie fascinated me. About twelve years passed away and I still think the same. Every time when TV shows this movie, I watch it, because I just can't don't watch. And every time it's very interesting like the first time when I watched it. This film made me to move to tears. All scenes are well played and made. Everything is amazing and I don't have any rebukes. Like every good film, "Edward Scissorhands" made me to feel concern about characters. The plot is full of values. It is very nice and good, in my opinion. Tim Burton is my favourite director, 10 points for him. For Johnny Depp too. Unique duet: Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, I love it. I think, "Edward Scissorhands" is worth to have 10 points. This Johnyy's role is one of his best. If I had my way, this movie would have only excellent votes and reviews, because I don't understand how people can hate this movie... The best drama of all ages. 10/10.
Platoon (1986)
Great conveyed cruel reality!
It was rather too long, personally. But when I think about plot, it seems that every scene was necessary. Perhaps, this is the reason why some scenes were cut with Johnny Depp. Actually, was really painful to watch it, because there were some inhumanely cruel scenes. But this is reality, history. And it's very good that director and actors did their job fantastically. Not unnecessarily rating is high. I don't really like films about war, but there are two good things about it. When this genre of film is appointed for war heroes, it's really very nice. It makes me to pause and think about those people. Second thing - I love facts. And facts were in this film. Chosen music ,of course, revealed mood. This movie made me to be tense. To be quite honest, I have never watched a film about war. "Platoon" was the first. But now I know how should look good film about war. One more thing, that scene with thunder was amazing, it gave me the shudders. I really was empathized. My heart bit together with characters' hearts. Plot is full of stress, it's very complicated and tense, it shows the reality, as I said. Also, was sad and tearful to see how brutally soldiers behaved with those poor Vietnameses. Actually, I always said that Charlie Sheen isn't good actor, because after "Scary movie 5" he looked "to cheap" for me. But I changed my mind. Now I think that he's really very good actor. "Platoon" and Chris Taylor from the film changed my mind once and for all. I gave 9, because film was rather too long for me.
Cry-Baby (1990)
"I'm a teenager, I wanna live!"
What can I say...perfect! It was too short, because I wanted more and more... I smiled almost every minute of the movie, because everything was so funny, very lovely and hot! Actors and actresses were acting perfectly. I don't have any rebukes. Soundtracks were very musical, vivacious and hilarious. Plot was very easy to watch, very soft, but also very intense at the same time. 10 points for soundtracks. 10 points for actors and actresses. 10 points for director, who created this amazing film. I love these ages, times which are shown in "Cry-baby". I couldn't take my eyes from the computer. To be honest, the plot was a little bit banal, but never mind. It's normal, it's a comedy. It's a musical! Hard to believe that acting is very hard and not easy job, because actors and actresses played fantastic and very easy. They weren't who they are, they were characters, they lived like characters. I want to say that they are very strong and they worth to be in Hollywood. One of the best films I have ever watched.
Private Resort (1985)
"It made my day!" - how the barber would say.
Wow, mood of this movie is so good,that it elated my day today! "Private Resort" is very easy to watch, light plot and ,of course, it is attention-grabbing movie. In my opinion, the main aim of comedies is to make watcher to laugh. This movie did it. Funny moments and situations made me to laugh loudly. Every film must have a moral, even though that film is a comedy. Perhaps strange to say, but I saw a moral here. The idea of the film is good, I don't have reproaches for the idea (or aim) and plot. Unhappy situations were funny and actors appeared very well. Director created marvelous comedy which raise a mood! It was very nice to see a very lovely couple - Ben and Patti. Conventionally, it's always pleasing to the eye to see that comedy finishes good and all bad guys are arrested. I would like to watch it again and I'll recommend it for all my friends. Very pleasant to see Johnny Depp and Rob Morrow. Soundtracks were very musical. Even now they sound in my head. To sum up, movie is worth to see, funny, what is very important for comedy. 10 points!
Slow Burn (1986)
Expected more...
I think Matthew Chapman didn't do everything what he could to do for this movie. There really were some careless moments in the movie. Anyway, I liked Jacob's mysterious voice and that music which was wrapped in a shroud of mystery. Plot is not perfect, but it isn't very bad. Personally, I expected better film. Realistically, two or three times I threw a glance to the clock to see how much time of movie left. It's not a feature of very good film, as You all perfect know. Selected music was good, it fitted for the plot and film's mood. I didn't like at all one moment of the movie. That moment is when Simon Fleischer found Donnie's body. I didn't like it because Dan Hedaya was acting terribly and lamely! That's what I meant when I said that there were some careless moments. Second moment was when Laine Fleischer knew that it's over between her and Jacob. Other scenes were quite good. One more thing. Johnny Depp (don't forget that it was only third his role) was acting very good. It's sad, because there were only a few scenes with him. But it's not a problem. In spite of the fact that I said I expected better film, I tried to find the answers anyway. Indisputable fact is - the idea of the film is still good. There were quite a few twist. The last thing I want to say - Eric Roberts was acting surprisingly! I considered "How much points I have to give?" and "What does it mean "Slow burn"?". Now I have the answers: 1. Six points. 2. I won't say, because watch this film and then think about it. After a while probably You'll understand it.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Horror films classic!
I watched "A nightmare on Elm Street" last night and...Oh my God,how good it is! I thought "Where were I earlier?!". It is good in spite of its age. As we all know, old films - good films. Believe me, I have seen a lot of horror films and I think that "A nightmare on Elm Street" is worth attention. You know,I can confess that there were some times which made my heart to beat intensively than theretofore. I was surprised how professionally actors were acting in spite of the fact that it was the first time for Johnny Depp! The plot was intense and I love it. There is one feature of good horror film - restlessness about characters. And You know, when I was watching this film, You don't know how much I was worrying about them, especially about Nancy. "What's now? No,Freddy, don't!" and so on... Second feature of good film is unexpected ending. I really didn't expect an ending like this. Actually sound effects and soundtracks were better than I expected! Wes Craven made a masterwork. I watched "A nightmare on Elm Street" (2010) few years ago and I didn't like it at all because it's plagiarism, cheap copy of old, but fantastic film! Anyway let's talk about "A nightmare on Elm Street" (1984). I didn't waste my time, I'll tell about this film for all my friends. So, let's hurray for this masterwork, for all actors and for director, because this film is a classic!
The Rum Diary (2011)
Good, but not the best.
When I bought a CD of this movie I was so excited,because I thought: "Wow,finally I bought it!". But. There is one thing. It wasn't so good than I expected. That's why I gave 8 points for this movie. It's not the best or one of the best movies I have ever watched, but it wasn't very very bad. "The rum diary" was quite interesting movie and the plot is not bad. Actors were good I think. There were some really funny moments.I'm not Bruce Robinson's fan,but I can say that he is a successful novels' and biographical novels' author. Actually I have never read the book "The rum diary" but I would like to and I think that perhaps novel is better than movie. So it's only my opinion. All people are different and their opinions are different. In conclusion I want to say that actors in the movie are good, director is good too. If You have time,watch this movie. Perhaps it will be the best movie for You,because our opinions are usually different. So I want to wish a nice evening with this movie,I hope You'll like it and You'll give 10 points for "The rum diary".
Blow (2001)
This film is like a very good drug!
10 points from me! As always,Johnny Depp (my hero)acts faultlessly. Penelope Cruz I like very much too. That history is so interesting and also real! I don't have any rebukes for this film actually. Only the best words. I was so concentrated when I watched "Blow", because it's very thrilling. I promise,when You will watch this film,You won't have time to breathe... I felt the same. As I know "Blow" was the last film which made Ted Demme. It's sad,but it's true. Anyway,he had a talent and we can visibly see it,because "Blow" is a masterwork in my opinion. Don't waste the time with cheap films (If You watch it) and watch something with (for example) Johnny Depp or Penelope Cruz or other Hollywood actor or actress. As I usually say (if the film is good): in conclusion I want to say,that You won't be out of conceit with this film,because it is really worth to see. Have a nice evening with fantastic film!
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
More than perfect!
My old dream is to see "Sweeney Todd" in the Broadway.Unfortunately it will never happen. But I wish and I hope. Anyway,Johnny Depp... I'm a very big his fan.I love his impressive acting,of course personality and look (what is important for actors,I think).Film was incredible and songs were beautiful...I even downloaded piano sheets and I will play them in there future. Selected actors was a very good choose. This film left a very big impression for me. I recommended it for all my friends and family members,because it's really worth to see. A plot was perfect. Helena Bonham Carter-she is like Johnny Depp,but she's woman. I want to say that perhaps their personalities are similar. I don't know how to say,I just know.They both are strong actors in my opinion. This film is a good choose if you love complicated films,where you can't find an answer fast. I love it. I would really like to see it one more time. It's not boring,and that tension,which I felt during the film was pleasing and strong. Tim Burton is a talent,he is unique. You know,when I watch a very good film,personally,then I want to became an actress...I felt the same when I watched this film. Sounds crazy perhaps,but it is. So it's really worth to see it. 10 points from me,from Johnny's Depp and Sweeney's Todd fan.
