Woody Allen’s Irrational Man is about a tormented philosophy professor who finds a will to live when he commits an existential act and emotionally unable to find any meaning or joy in life. Abe feels that everything he’s tried to do, from political activism to teaching, hasn’t made any difference.

Soon after arriving to teach at a small town college, Abe gets involved with two women: Rita Richards (Parker Posey), a lonely professor who wants him to rescue her from her unhappy marriage; and Jill Pollard (Emma Stone), his best student, who becomes his closest friend. Definitely one of the better casts Allen has had in this film so during 1 hour and 34 minutes you will be involve in many decisions and actions alter the main character of Abe through an existential act gives rise to a murder plot that ends with  his unintended collateral victims. In all probability is a film that connects with a broad audience.

People are really looking forward to this film. Robin Williams has always been an excellent dramatic actor and this film makes his last role one of the best. The routine of everyday life quietly peels away to reveal the struggle of a loving husband in conflict with his inner-self in Boulevard. While Nolan Mack (Robin Williams) and his wife Joy (Kathy Baker) wake up under the same roof each morning, separate bedrooms underscore the disparate worlds they are living in. His emotional journey begins to unfold with a drive down a desolate city street where he encounters a troubled young man named Leo (Roberto Aguire). As lost time slowly awakens Nolan’s secret life, he realizes that truth is an opportunity for change.

Directed by Dito Montiel and written by Douglas Soesbe, this film makes Robin’s role one of his best and serious roles with a bitter sadness and has the ability to feel and portray emotion with such genius, both through laughter and pathos, was his curse as well as our gift as audience adorers.

From Director Ken Loach and a well structured cast Barry Ward, Francis Magee, Aileen Henry, Simone Kirby, Stella McGirl, Sorcha Fox, Martin Lucey, Mikel Murfi, Shane O’Brien, as spectator you will enjoy for 106 minutes the great story of Jimmy Gralton’s sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in an Ireland on the brink of Civil War In 1921. The Pearse-Connolly Hall was a place where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream… but above all to dance and have fun. As the hall grew in popularity its socialist and free-spirited reputation brought it to the attention of the church and politicians who forced Jimmy to flee and the hall to close.

 A decade later, at the height of the Depression, Jimmy returns to Co. Leitrim from the US to look after his mother and vows to live the quiet life. The hall stands abandoned and empty, and despite the pleas of the local youngsters, remains shut. However as Jimmy reintegrates into the community and sees the poverty, and growing cultural oppression.

Definitely is a smart and familiar film, full of turbulent times for each character and celebrates the spirit of these free-thinkers. The best key element is the Jazz Music with certain predictable anti-clerical anti-Irish stereotype. Even Ken Loach tends to be unsubtle when he is making some political points; however, this film earns points in many facts such as all violent protests that the main character has to face from the church for running a dance hall where his freedom has been compromised.

Spy is the new film of Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent Rick Ford (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster. This film was written and directed by Paul Feig.

During 1hr 19 min. Melissa McCarthy’s performance is one of the best. On the contrary, Statham is rarely stands out into his comedic potential. However, the good direction, jokes and the well developed physical comedy makes this is more on par with The Heat.

Most people begin to like the idea that this comedy is very well made from an over weighted -lady jokes combined with two elements that makes successfully a film because this one has comedy and action.

Definitely, Spy is highly recommended for its memorable supporting characters and funny contrast of personalities of Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) and Rick Ford (Jason Statham) as the moody and hyper-masculine action tough guy.

Definitely, this film has to be seen in 4D experience after all the complex sequences, this takes you so deep into the story that feels like some scenes  are part of the on-screen actions especially in the fatal destruction of buildings and drama that suffer all characters. This film gives guidance on how to prepare for natural disasters indirectly, even the action scenes are spaced out well and each is extremely immersing despite being able to predict the outcome is almost inevitable, the earthquake itself hast the biggest scarier effects.

Unexpected end of the sequence “The human centipede 3 (final sequence)”

Photos and Text by Alfonso De Elias

Bully prison warden Bill Boss (The Human Centipede Part I’s Dieter Laser) has a lot of problems; prison riots, medical costs, staff turnover, but foremost he is unable to get the respect he thinks he deserves from his inmates and the state Governor (Eric Roberts). He constantly fails in experimenting with different ideas for the ideal punishment to get the inmates in line, which drives him completely insane. Under threats of termination by the Governor, his loyal right hand man Dwight (The Human Centipede Part II’s Laurence R Harvey) comes up with a brilliant idea. An idea based on the notorious Human Centipede movies that will literally and figuratively get the inmates on their knees, creating the ultimate punishment and deterrent for anyone considering a life of crime.

The film is full of perversely sick moments, with psychotic performance of the actors, and many shocking gores in many scenes but the director, playing himself with his characters and the visits of the prison make the plot more interesting. Although I like the idea of some men must experience the concept of the human centipede as punishment for their behavior, this one is pure entertainment that reflects many celebrations of sexual violence (I’m not in favor of). I have to recognize that the concept was really original with certain kind of politics and the goal was accomplished as well. This trilogy deserves a space for the unique graphics with two lead actors who have actually been brilliant. Definitely, is brilliantly bizarre, unbelievably strange. Despite “The human centipede 3” is not considered one of the best films, for some fans of the trilogy, might be the best horror films of the year.
