The Darkest Hour (2011)

Two American friends and colleagues are stuck in Moscow during an alien attack.

'The Darkest Hour' is a sci-fi film of the alien invasion subgenre. With a young cast that was quite popular at the tim (or about to be), it lacks a well-written script and engaging characters.

Director:  Chris Gorak      

With: Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Max Minghella, Rachael Taylor, Joel Kinnaman

Rating: 5.3/10

Strange World (2022)

The Clades family is a legendary family of explorers, but their attitudes and opinions are very different.

'Strange World' is an animated film full of adventures and imagination. It succeeds in taking the Disney style away from its overused templates in an attempt to cover more modern tastes and new ideas. The film did not have the success it deserved, unfortunately.

Directors:  Don Hall, Qui Nguyen  

With: Jake Gyllenhaal, Jaboukie Young-White, Gabrielle Union, Dennis Quaid

Rating: 8/10

Strange World (2022)

Familia Clades este o familie legendara de exploratori, dar atitudinile si parerile lor sunt foarte diferite.

'Strange World' este un film de animatie plin de aventuri si imaginatie. Reuseste sa duca stilul Disney departe de sablonul prea utilizat in incercarea de a acoperi gusturi mai moderne si idei noi. Nu a avut succesul pe care il merita.

Regia:  Don Hall, Qui Nguyen  

Cu: Jake Gyllenhaal, Jaboukie Young-White, Gabrielle Union, Dennis Quaid

Effie Gray (2014)

Dramatizare a trunghiului amoros dintre John Ruskin, sotia sa Effie Gray si pictorul John Everett Millais.

'Effie Gray' este un film biografic, cu licentele poetice de rigoare ce prezinta un episod interesant din viata unor nume ce apartin istoriei. Faptele par de o natura grosolana, asociata de obicei cu barfa, dar interactiunile si perioada in care au loc, ofera un unghi interesant asupra unei conjuncturi neobisnuite.

Regia:  Richard Laxton    

Cu: Dakota Fanning, Greg Wise, Tom Sturridge, Emma Thompson

Effie Gray (2014)

A dramatization of the love triangle between John Ruskin, his wife Effie Gray and the painter John Everett Millais.

'Effie Gray' is a biographical film, with the usual poetic license applied that presents an interesting episode in the life of names that belong to history. The facts seem of a crude nature, usually associated with gossip, but the interactions and the period in which they take place, offer an interesting angle on an unusual situation.

Director:  Richard Laxton    

With: Dakota Fanning, Greg Wise, Tom Sturridge, Emma Thompson
