Sinus Infection Infant



Personally, Iron Man was never one of my favorite heroes, house for Marvel, having always been more fond of figures such as Peter Parker, rather than Tony Stark. But what is true to the comics on paper, does not apply to those on film. Since 2000, year of production of the first X-Men , the film character superomistico productions have become one of Hollywood's leading landscape. In this wave of comic-movies, however, there are few who are saved by criticism. Iron Man is a di questi.
Jon Favreau mi aveva inizialmente fatto dubitare del progetto, ma alla fine mi sono dovuto ricredere. La prima produzione Marvel è, mi si perdoni il brutto gioco di parole, la prima produzione Marvel. Quello che intendo dire è che per la prima volta il film che scorre sullo schermo è davvero una trasposizione del fumetto creato da Stan Lee. Negli altri casi, anche illustri (leggi i film di Raimi o di Singer), c'era sempre qualcosa che impediva la sinergia tra le strip e le scene. Non so se il merito sia davvero di Favreau, del quale sinceramente non smetto di dubitare, ma rimane il fatto che Iron Man è un film di intrattenimento in piena regola. Il film scorre veloce e divertente per tutta la sua durata, senza insistere too much on the usual existential questions or moral force. And the only action scenes, well, do their dirty duty.
certainly has helped to produce the presence of Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark having fun and enjoying the public, in a role that seems to have been built on: perfect. Less exciting but testing dell'irriconoscibile Jeff Bridges, villain in my opinion very attractive despite the massive final look. Finally, I can only rejoice in the presence of the beautiful and talented Gwyneth Paltrow, inexplicably disappeared from the scene (important) for several years.
I read around that it should remain until the end of the credits. I did not Indeed, wretched me.

Spiderwick - Chronicles

As they say, "wet Easter Monday, Easter sucker." That's why instead of going to get some fresh air to the movies and I ended up being enough in a bad mood, I have temporarily postponed the film by Sidney Lumet to see this fantasy, which, despite my distrust post-Narnia to the kind I have, however, brought into the room rather curious and mildly hopeful.
Along with twin brother Simon (Freddie Highmore), sister Mallory (Sarah Bolger) and mother Helen (Mary-Loius Parker), young Jared (also Highmore) moves into the house of a distant relative Arthur Spiderwick (David Strathairn). Following a domestic incident, comes into possession of the manual written by the great-uncle, containing all the secrets of the fairy world around them. However, she awakens the desire of the ogre Mulgarath, who will do anything to gain possession and become the most powerful creature in the world. For the twins and older sister will be responsible for protecting themselves and the magical.
Director Mark Waters, after a couple of comedies for teen-agers and a bit 'more adult, returns to target youth with a genus new to him. The transition to the fantasy can reasonably well, adjusting the number of story by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. My impression is that the director has chosen to turn un film senza troppe pretese, rispettando le aspettative del giovane pubblico e facendo tutto sommato il lavoro onesto che ha svolto negli ultimi anni. Non sarà un film trascendentale, ma il mondo delle cronache di Spiderwick tutto sommato fa il suo dovere come film di intrattenimento, anche per gli adulti (pochi) in sala. E a questo punto poco importa se i dilemmi esistenziali e i problemi familiari rappresentati hanno la consistenza di un tovagliolo, quello che importa è salvare il libro e sconfiggere l'orco.
