Jurassic Park (1993)

Un paleontolog si partenera sa sunt invitati la un parc de distractie cu tematica jurasica, in care traiesc clone ale dinozaurilor, pentru a-si oferi parerea de specialisti inainte de deschiderea parcului.

Un film clasic sub bagheta magica a unui maestru obsedat de detaliu si constructii care lucreaza impreuna in armonie. Jurassic Park nu mai are nevoie de o introducere, dar e pacat daca exista inca oameni care il considera doar un blockbuster creat pentru profit financiar si sunt impiedicati de asemenea prejudecati din a se bucura de o capodopera.

Regia:  Steven Spielberg     

Cu: Sam Neill, Laura dern, Jeff Goldblum, BD Wong, Samuel L. Jackson, Wayne Knight, Richard Attenborough

Rating: 9/10

Jurassic Park (1993)

A paleontologist and his partner are invited to an amusement park with a Jurassic theme, where dinosaurs are brought back to life, to give their specialist opinion before the park opens.

A classic film under the magic wand of a mastro who's obsessed with detail and constructs that work together in perfect harmony. Jurassic Park no longer needs an introduction, but it's a shame if there are still people left who consider it just a blockbuster created for financial gain and are therefore prevented by their own prejudices from enjoying such a masterpiece.

Director:  Steven Spielberg

The Inkeepers (2011)

In ultimele zile ale unui hotel pe cale de inchidere, cei doi angajati ramasi folosesc timpul fara activitate cautand dovezi ca hotelul este bantuit.

'The Inkeepers' este un film de groaza atmosferic, bazat pe elemente de supranatural. Va fi perceput probabil ca incet de multi, dar ritmul lent serveste minunat ca un catalist al unei curiozitati si unui suspans in continua crestere, momentele fara multa actiune fiind bogate in dialog si zeflemea inocenta.

Regia:  Ti West   

Cu: Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, Kelly McGillis

The Inkeepers (2011)

In the last days of a closing down hotel, the two remaining employees use their time looking for proof that the hotel is haunted.

'The Inkeepers' is an atmospheric horror film based on supernatural elements. It will probably be perceived as slow by many, but the slow pace serves wonderfully as a catalyst for an ever growing curiosity and suspense, the moments without much action being rich in dialogue and innocent banter.

Director:  Ti West   

With: Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, Kelly McGillis

Slasher season III - "Solstice" (2019)

Un an dupa uciderea brutala a unui tanar, rezidentii cladirii in care locuia sunt vanati pe ascuns, rand pe rand, de un criminal in serie numit Druidul.

Sezonul trei din Slasher, Solstice, e inca o miniserie de tip slasher horror, ce urmareste viata locuitorilor unei singuri cladiri pe parcursul unei zile intregi, fiecare episod acoperind trei ore din acea zi, timp in care Druidul gaseste cel putin o noua victima. Povestea are multe elemente de political correctness, ce pare sa fi enervat unii dintre vizionatori, dar acest aspect nu face decat a diversifica povestea. Probabil nu la fel de buna ca seria a 2-a, seria 3 e captivanta, mentine interesul, e predictibila in unele aspecte, surprinzatoare in altele.

Regia:  Adam MacDonald   

Productie:  Shudder, Chiller  

Creator:  Aaron Martin   

Durata:  Sezonul 3 din 4, fiecare a cate 8 episoade (1 ora fiecare)   

Cu: Baraka Rahmani, Lisa Berry, Salvatore Antonio, Dean McDermott, Paula Brancati, Mercedes Morris, Gabriel Darku, Joanne Vannicola, Rosie Simon, Jim Watson, Paulino Nunes

Slasher season III - "Solstice" (2019)

One year after the brutal murder of a young man, the residents of the building where he lived are secretly hunted, one by one, by a serial killer named The Druid.

Season three of Slasher, Solstice, is another horror slasher miniseries, which follows the lives of the residents of a single building for a whole day, each episode covering three hours of that day, during which the Druid finds at least one new victim. The story has many elements of political correctness, which seems to have annoyed some of the viewers, but this aspect only diversifies the story. Probably not as good as the 2nd series, the 3rd series is captivating, it maintains the viewer's interest, it is predictable in some aspects, surprising in others. There's a bit of overkill involved as well.

Director:  Adam MacDonald   

Production:  Shudder, Chiller  

Creator:  Aaron Martin   

Duration:  Season 3 of 4, each with 8 episodes (1 hour each)   

With: Baraka Rahmani, Lisa Berry, Salvatore Antonio, Dean McDermott, Paula Brancati, Mercedes Morris, Gabriel Darku, Joanne Vannicola, Rosie Simon, Jim Watson, Paulino Nunes

Taking Lives (2004)

Un criminalist FBI asista politia canadiana in niste cazuri de crime in serie in care faptasul fura identitatea victimelor.

"Taking Lives" e un film de investigatii criminalistice cu ceva momente melodramatice. Distributia e de milioane, si totusi filmul nu se poate abtine de la cateva scapari cand vine de logica si reactii naturale. Ideea este intereasnta totusi.

Regia:  D.J. Caruso   

Cu: Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland, Olivier Martinez, Tchéky Karyo, Paul Dano, Gena Rowlands
