Holy Motors


I am way too late in writing a review about this movie since this was released in 2012. But give me chance, I just finished watching this film and I wouldn't be at ease without having to share what I have to say about it.

A story that will confuse and mark a big question in your face but will leave you satisfied. At last a motion picture that's not predictable and cannot be classified with every other movie we're seeing these days. In fact, it would be a breathe of fresh air to see something else like this. Please do tell if you know of similar films, I'd be glad to check them out. 

Somehow most movies released in cinemas and television today are basically telling the same stories over and over and, let's be honest, it gets boring along the way.

If you want to see a work of art that won't make you say, "I knew this was the plot", "I knew this would be the ending", and so on and so forth, then you should watch this movie.

I'm not gonna write a summary about this because it'll just spoil things. Just go ahead and watch it yourself. To be honest, I thought I wouldn't reach the end of this film. And... what a surprise, I did and I must say I was entertained.

Strange. Weird. Puzzling. Twisting. Mad. Holy Motors.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Source: http://collider.com

I wanted to see a feel-good movie -- something uplifting and gratifying.  Also one that will satisfy my thirst for quality cinematography and substantial storyline. Here comes The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I've been planning to watch it when I saw the trailer the previous year (unfortunately, the cinemas here had this movie playing just this month). The story progresses from Walter drifting into his outrageous daydreams and later going out there into the real world embarking in actual adventures. It's a quintessential tale of dreaming and living. I don't know why but I'm so into dreams. I'm sort of a daydreamer myself (don't worry I don't space out too much). Teehee!

Ben Stiller directs and stars this crowd-pleasing romantic adventure fantasy comedy-drama alongside actors Kristen Wiig and Sean Penn. Basing on James Thurber's 1939 short story of the same title, the story will show viewers how Walter escapes his anonymous life zoning out into a domain where he is the hero and achiever. Walter Mitty (Stiller) is a Life magazine negative assets manager who takes action when his job and the rest of his fellow workers are threatened. He ventures into an intercontinental search for negative number 25 that's supposed to be the cover photo for their final edition. Following clues left by photojournalist Sean O'Connell (Penn), he travels the globe going through risky and exciting undertakings he never thought he'd experience without having to daydream.
