NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE NIGHT OF THE BEST MOVIES OF 2012
SKYFALL
Watchable. Finally a Bond with a plot. I loved the special effects like the hotel wall in Shanghai or the Tube train disaster in London. The ending looks like dedicated to pyromaniacs though, which I'm not.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
Watchable. Very slow and lenghthy - only the Catwoman enlivens it.
INTOUCHABLES
Watchable for the second time. I loved it the first time round and still enjoyed a repetition of this feel-good movie.
JESTES BOGIEM (YOU ARE GOD)
Watchable. I'm really not into hip-hop. The only thing that kept me watching was morbid curiosity of what the lowlives would become.

THE NIGHT OF CINEMA
A perfectly organized film event on state-of-the-art Multikino screens. I picked the following 3 movies:
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING
Watchable. Star-studded light entertainment but not laugh-out-loud funny.
WEEKEND
Watchable. People were leaving in droves. Am I the only one who finds man on man action hot? (It included hottie Chris New.) If you ignore the constant gay coming out chatter, what stays is a beautiful film about beginnings of love.
PROMETHEUS 3D
Recommended. Space opera like from my childhood. Quite good 3D which made it so convincing that when Charlie's eyes turned red mine started watering and from the moment Shaw had a cesarean, I was gripped in tommy pain till I went to sleep in my own bed. Old good Giger's scenography and plenty of references to other films (fast-developing foetus like in "Twilight", "Alien" born, artificial intelligence taking over control of the starship like in "Space Odyssey" etc.). I loved the beginning as I recognised one of my fave holiday spots.
Why do guys always first chat me up and then suddenly disappear after a couple of minutes? Even at the cinema...

LAWLESS
Watchable. The accent was so harsh that for the first quarter I had to read subtitles but it quickly became music to my ears as I took to the characters when the gripping story based on facts developed. It's so brutal you can nearly smell the blood off the screen. But it maintains plenty of charm of its own and leads to a hilarious ending which I'm not going to spoil.

NIGHT FILM MARATHON: THE TWILIGHT SAGA
TWILIGHT
NEW MOON
ECLIPSE
BREAKING DAWN PART I
BREAKING DAWN PART II
Watchable. Having seen the first movie at least 5 times, the 2nd and the 3rd once and having read all the books (the 4th volume being my fave) I asked the Enemef organizers for a "Twilight" marathon and here it came. It's a perfect series for a night film marathon - just look at the titles. And you can feel like a vampire who never sleeps. It's also very convenient with sequels as you remember all previous parts easily. On the whole all 5 movies made me laugh (my all-time fave being "I kissed Bella. And she broke her arm. When she punched me in the face.") and cry in turns. The 2nd movie had the lousiest CGIs and music, other than that both got better and better with every installment. In retrospect it was all cheesy yet entertaining.

CONCERT OF FILM MUSIC - JOHN WILLIAMS
While everyone knows music from his films, the most fascinating for me was the fact that his music was immediately recognisable yet distinct in every film. It seems that he's been re-working the same motif for 40 years! It was fun to have one's way on the concourse blocked by an R2D2. Less impressive was the presentation of the Star Wars characters during the concert - the extras didn't march and didn't even stand straight which detracted from the troopers effect.
Still, what was the most appalling was that the Sala Kongresowa in Warsaw wasn't accessible. I've never used a wheelchair but it's clear to me that the adjustments were carried out without any consultation with the disabled (who, obviously, didn't attend the concert) whatsoever. The outside access ramp was cobbled, curved and narrow. The little one inside was ridiculously steep - how can anyone drive up such a slope? Even if you roll down it, you'll have to break very hard so as not to crash against the wall in front. There's also no lift to the first floor and the stairs look like Mount Everest. I wonder if all that would be legal in the UK.

EK THA TIGER
Recommended. A spy movie with proper doses of everything: action, humour, suspense and something to cry after. And great Bollywood music and dancing of course.
JOKER
Watchable. A genuinely funny comedy Bollywood style where even an alien has learnt to dance. Maybe a bit too PC but who cares when it's so much fun.

THE NIGHT OF CINEMA
DRIVE
Watchable. A beautifully shot, acted through Ryan Gosling's facial expressions standard slow-paced gangster fare served with great music and sound effects.
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN
Watchable. Kevin is a textbook psycho which would be fascinating to watch if only it wasn't so protracted.
THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
Walked out. Inner thougts of a depressed tarnished celebrity were supposed to be funny in the very least.

ZIDANE, UN PORTRAIT DU 21E SIECLE (ZIDANE: A 21ST CENTURY PORTRAIT)
Walked out. For me football can be fascinating but only when you support one of the teams and watch it live. A foreign match in retrospect with a player's not-too-deep thoughts displayed on the screen didn't raise my adrenaline levels.

NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE CINEMA OF FEAR
THE AWAKENING
THE CABIN IN THE WOODS
HELL
THE GREY
Watchable. I'll talk about all 4 jointly as there's little difference between them. The characters are chased by: ghosts and the living/zombies and other mythological creatures/canibals/wolves and you keep watching out of morbid curiosity who'll survive and who won't.
There was a hilarious line in "The Awakening" about the woman who throughout the film was praised for being educated (in 1919): "There was something strange about her anyway. I've read a study recently - apparently a woman's mind can't cope with further education."

MEN IN BLACK 3 IN 3D AT IMAX
Recommended. Mind-blowing 3D effects from the very first scene where you immediately find yourself in an overwhelmingly long high corridor include a vertiginous jump off a skyscraper and several, several others. Packed with hilarious lines, e.g. after a turbulent time trip Agent J enters a bar and finds Agent K. Agent K remarks: "You're late" to which Agent J responds: "I've lost the track of time." Unusually for the series though, this time it's not purely a series of gags. There are serious subtones to the story and part of the film is so moving that I cried. Definitely the best of all 3 parts. I'm going to see it again.

NIGHT FILM MARATHON - CINEMA OF CONOISSEURS
HODEJEGERNE (HEADHUNTERS)
Watchable. A bit too morbid, especially the dog carcass being carried on the front of the tractor, but the criminal intrigue is perfect, a beautifully entagled loop.
INTOUCHABLES
Recommended. Lots of situation humour, e.g. the carer tells a teenage girl's ex-boyfriend to apologise and bring her croissants every day and the boy asks: "Butter ones or ordinary?", intertwined with such astonishing sadness of pragmatism. A very clever film worthy of an Oscar.
LEK WYSOKOSCI (FEAR OF FALLING)
Walked out. Kind-of - I stayed in the screen but dozed off determined not to drink coffee for the sake of a film so slow and full of disconnected visions that if I hadn't waited for the next one I would have gone home to sleep in my own bed.
SHAME
Watchable. A bit like "American Psycho" but with more sex and only self-inflicted violence, just reversed proportions of the same.

DARK SHADOWS
Watchable. While I'm normally a great fan of spoofs and this movie cleverly mocks my beloved "Twilight" as well as "Death Becomes Her" and several separate scenes re-enacted by American cinema over and over again none of the lines or gags is funny. What's more I was upset with how unfair it was to present the clever, proactive, beautiful, sexy witch in love as a villain. She was the only perfect match for the immortal. And he spurned her to chase a characterless virgin and at the same to let a third one suck on his dick. The slutty vampire was clearly unworthy of the witch's undying love.

NIGHT WITH ORANGE
A perfectly well organized marathon where you could pick your own 3 movies (or 4 if you walked out just like me). I decided to see:
W CIEMNOSCI (IN DARKNESS)
Watchable. Too lengthy to be eligible for an Oscar but with an interesting plot. Unexpectedly lots of sex scenes and other nudity. Would be more realistic if the people were slimmer though.
ELLES
Watchable. Another film which turned out to involve lots of sex scenes yet here justified by the subject. Interesting stories and life observations but somehow without an ending which the dream scene failed to replace.
LISTY DO M. (LETTERS TO SANTA)
Walked out. Seems like a few separate stories all of which are silly and none is funny.
CARNAGE
Walked out. Witnessing a quarrel is rarely fun and vomiting Kate Winslet put me off the movie completely.

JEWISH MOTIFS FESTIVAL
PARTLY PRIVATE
Recommended. A Michael Moore style documentary following the maker's own decision-making process regarding whether to circumcise her sons brings the subject home even to a non-Jew. Did you know that nearly all Americans are circumcised and the veiled reason behind this trend having been created is that foreskin cells are used in anti-ageing creams? The film is revealing, thoroughly researched, culturally enlightening, watches like a good feature, mixes humour with thought-out reflections and leaves no stone unturned.
SCHLIMAZELTOV!
Watchable. A short movie which looks like a prelude to a full-length research into whether we create our own luck or whether it's pre-determined. An interesting multi-level topic which should be continued.
AUTOMATION and AUDITION
Walked out. Or at least would have - I only stayed because the films were short but at some point I just drifted away. Overdone animation and no plot or if there was one the film(s) failed to get the message accross.
THE DEBT
Recommended. A full of tension drama about Mossad agents hunting down a Nazi criminal who's playing his own game. "The Birkenau surgeon" is a model psychopath manipulating everyone around and taking advantage of any foible he notices in others.

NIGHT FILM MARATHON: EUROPEAN HORRORS
REC 3: GENESIS
Watchable. Full of humour, e.g. when running away from zombies: "I can't get through the door because of this Johnny the Sponge costume." "So why don't you take it off?" "Because I've got nothing underneath." or "I wasn't going to come to your wedding but we hadn't seen each other for so long." "I only invited you ouf of courtesy. I didn't think you'd come." "I found a cheap ticket on the internet." It also enlivens the genre with a religious motive. Other than that it's just a bunch of people chased by a crowd of zombies.
LOS OJOS DE JULIA (JULIA'S EYES)
Watchable. Full of suspense and good twists of action ruined by a run-of-the-mill slasher ending.
THE WOMAN IN BLACK
Recommended. Reminiscent of "Insidious" and just as scary.
TROLLHUNTER
Watchable. I'm not really into mockumentaries but the troll superstitions gave it a rarely seen folklore feel.

TITANIC 3D AT IMAX
Watchable. As usual with the movie, I couldn't wait for the ship to sink and I still believe it should do away with the contemporary story. I was mostly happy to hear the original English dialogues, which were really fun, while my biggest complaint is that it was flat, even at Imax it rarely had the 3rd dimension.

THE DEVIL INSIDE
Watchable. Better than "Paranormal Activity" but nowhere near "The Rite". It feels like doing pilates: tense-relase-tense-release.... Sadly, there's nothing more scary than a benign dog barking jumping on a fence when the exorcists walk down a street. The "Stay Alive" director had better stick to atmospheric fiction rather than risk another mockumentary in the future.
When I tried to take a bus home, the driver would drive away half a meter unsteadily whenever I tried to open the door. Eventually I failed to get on and had to wait for another 20 minutes for a night one. And then I realised he may had been under influence. And that was scary.

AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION (2010)
Recommended. For "Avatar" fans it's like a whole new movie with the plot substantially changed and more views of Pandoran nature. It's an internalized memoir of the marine rather than a purely action movie this time round, yet still in line with the witty/moving/mesmerising original. Just a more thorough version of the same greatness.
THE HUNGER GAMES
Recommended. Worth seeing at least, although not only, for the sake of futuristic fashion - the costumes, the make-ups and other visual aspects of the future are mind-blowingly ingenious. The special effects make e.g. a dress on fire look downright realistic. The plot provides enough twists to keep you on the edge your seat.

NIGHT FILM MARATHON: OSCARS 2012
Several movies nominated this year hark back to times past and so did the four films with the highest number of nominations which were presented at the film marathon two nights before the Academy Awards Gala. As I had already seen "At Midnight In Paris" and hadn't found it Oscar-worthy, I skipped the film leaving myself more energy to stay up throughout the remaining three:
THE ARTIST
Recommended. Sometimes funny, often sad, all the time deeply emotional and humane, technologically impeccable and masterfully enacted by contemporary actors deserves all the Oscars it subsequently received.
MY WEEK WITH MARILYN
Watchable. Emotional and fantastically performed as well which doesn't defend the silly story. I spent most of the running time thinking whether Marilyn was really such a lost soul or truly a manipulative bitch or if all of it was just another man's wet dream.
TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY
Watchable. The title seems to refer to the cult "Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels" - another movie the British are proud of and no other nation remembers. I watched out of curiosity of internal workings of MI6 and was bitterly disappointed to find out that spies' job not only are difficult and dangerous but unspeakably boring as well. The film lasted 2 hours, 1.5 hours of which too long.

MAN ON A LEDGE
Recommended. This man on a ledge will keep you on the edge of your seat! A work of genius. Apart from its perfect structure reminiscent of "The Inside Man" it makes fun of sociological observations and has hilarious lines e.g. "Some people can't handle a 25-year sentence. Have you ever thought about hurting yourself?" "No." - the psychologist gladly puts it down - "Hurting - no. But killing myself - every goddam day."
