Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock continue their post-apocalyptic adventures with a new challenge: evolved zombies.

'Zombieland: Double Tap' is the sequel to a successful horror-comedy, 10 years after the release of the first. The first film is not extraordinary, so it is difficult to understand why the producers wanted another one, especially without having Bill Murray attached. Fans of expensive blockbusters asked for it, they got it and were satisfied with just a mediocre movie. Ehh, at least it has Woody Harrelson, and some almost-cameos worth mentioning: Rosario Dawson and Luke Wilson.

Director:  Ruben Fleischer   
With: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, Rosario Dawson, Luke Wilson, Zoey Deutch

Rating: 7/10

Vivarium (2019)

A couple looking for a new home gets stuck in a weird suburban neighborhood with identical houses.

'Vivarium' is a mysterious, almost absurdist film with philosophical intentions. The central pieces of the story are the two young people and a child they have to raise as they think best. At some point, the reasons and explanations for anything occuring become redundant and completely irrelevant, the strongest impression left on the viewer being from the memory of the effect of the events on the child and the two young people especially. It all comes down to the human ability to be parents and the quality of the rewards and gratitude for the effort parents make. The overall effect of the film cannot be called anything else but depressive or maybe, in a few cases, a naive one, which generates some form of pride.

Director:  Lorcan Finnegan     
With: Imogen Poots, Danielle Ryan, Molly McCann, Jesse Eisenberg

Adventureland (2009)


Un film sensibil, amuzant si haotic cu si despre un adolescent extrem de inadaptat si foarte in contrast cu peisajul inconjurator care da nas in nas de alti inadaptati, nemultumiti, copii mari si inconstienti, care refuza sau nu au posibilitatea de a merge mai departe. De la unii invata despre greutati si blocaje emotionale, despre imposibilitatea de a te abtine de la greseli, pe altii ii invata despre toleranta si a doua sansa, despre ipocrizie si dublu standard. Foarte bine jucat de toti cei implicati si cu personaje extrem de colorate si interesante. Unmissable!

Regie:Greg Mottola
Scenariu:Greg Mottola
Cu: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Martin Starr, Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader, Margarita Levieva
