AMERICAN MADE
Recommended. It joins the league of "Lord of War" and "War Dogs": based
on true events, about big-time international gun and drug smuggling and a
hell of a ride for the viewer. This one is not only great fun but also a
presentation of the less known backstage to the rise of the Medellín
Cartel, the Iran-Contras and dealings of US government agencies.
Authorities of Medellín supported the production. While Tom Cruise plays
the leading part, Domhnall Gleeson in the supporting role looks hot and
acts disarmingly tongue-in-cheek. Some lines are brilliant e.g."Thank
you for coming to see me" when a guy has been kind-of-kidnapped. Very
well shot. Barry Seal's demise is accompanied by rapidly fading video
footage.
VALERIAN ET LA CITE DES MILLE PLANETES (VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS) AT IMAX 3D
Recommended
again. Necessarilly at Imax. Absolutely amazing. I was sitting quite
low - in the 5th row and it let me immerse in the universe even better.
How on Earth is Luc Besson ever going to beat that? I don't share the
director's view that you notice more details every time you see the
movie. I did pay better attention to Rutger Hauer, appearing only in one
of the initial scenes, and Herbie Hancock, once I learnt it was him. I keep wondering what music genres like bio or nano would be like. I was right expecting the visual layer to gain on a larger screen. Luckily the action kept me on the edge of my seat for quite a while too.
