Lucy is a sci-fi thriller of 89 minutes that fantasises about unlocking 100 percent of the brain's potential and expects viewers to be using just 2 or 3 percent of their own grey matter =)
The idea is some what interesting but the making is just wrong, it should be different in a lot of different aspects and leaves us (viewers) with a bunch of questions about in one scene she can do this but on the other she can't?!!?
Besson's script offers neither the well-drawn character dynamics nor the clear motivations of a decent comic book origin story.
Helpfully, Besson mixed Lucy's story and an academic lecture in Paris where a researcher has been hypothesising about the very thing that is happening to her, making remarkably specific predictions about what might happen if humans were able to use more than the 10 percent we currently use (a myth) of the magnificent supercomputers in our heads. His ideas, like some of the film's other early scenes, are illustrated with cutaways to nature footage suggesting the ways in which all of Earth's creatures are interconnected, governed by the same laws. Think Besson doing The Tree of Life =D
I would go in a different path and reach the same enlightenment than Besson. But I would say it's a 6/10 just a bit above average because of the actors and great basic idea.
Lost Girl is a 60 minute Fantasy/Crime series. This series is idealy made for the loveres of wolfman, vampires and supernatural powers.
It's a kind of darivation from Buffy or Angel but a bit more modern and with more supernatural powers.
This is a story about Bo - a succubus - who feeds off sexual energy to survive. She's alone and doesn't undersand why this is happening but rapidly finds her more people with different abbilities and discoveres this whole different world. She refeuses to embrace their clan system and its rigid hierarchy. Bo is a renegade who takes up the fight for the underdog while searching for the truth about her own mysterious origins.
It has a big amount of Action and Romance scenes which makes it intersting and usualy I like to see more than one or two episodes in one day. I'm always curiouse to see what comes next or how that "mini story" is going to end.
Canadian producer Prodigy Pictures told The Hollywood Reporterthat Lost Girl will wrap internationally after its upcoming season, and Syfy confirmed the fifth season will be the last one stateside.
I would recomend this to all fantasy/action loveres and it's also a girly sereis because of the amount of LOVE =D I give it a 7.7/10 because it keeps me intressed.
Maleficent is another version of The Sleeping Beauty, a more Dark Action version!
This Movie has a duration of 97 minutes and leaves you with all kind of emotions. Of course I had to cry about 5 times in the movie because all animation or animation type movies do that to me =D This one could not be different. It has a lot of Action, Romance/Love and Fantasy like all Disney movies.
Angelina Jolie is my favourite actresses so of course I would see this movie with loving eyes =) But putting that aside, it was a very well made film from the realistic way that Beauty fell and details of here face moving to the details of Maleficent's wings moving. Those type of effects are made by pros. The movie making was a great success and they took the Fantasy world to another level of reality that will be hard to be topped.
The worst part, for me, the fight with the trees that was "a copy" from Lord of the Rings... They could of been a little more original in that scene.
I loved it and do recommend to all ages. I gave it a 9.2/10.
Reign is a great "Historical" series. It's about Mary - Queen of Scots - and the story starts when she arrives in France with 15 years of age, betrothed to Prince Francis.
It's a 42 minutes Fantasy/Drama that will envolve you with their dressing and sceneries. I love these type of series for the artistic value: the clothes, sceneries and how they use their hair ... What it was like in that time. That, for me, is the best part but this series is also very well written and produced.
I haven't seen all of the first season yet but I hope to reach the end this month =) It's very addicting but at the moment I don't have a lot of time =(
The little history that I know from France and King Francis makes this series even more interesting to watch. From what I remember they will get married and Francis dies very young.
I do not know how much it will be alike to the history books but I'm loving it till now =D
I recommend to all lovers of art and costumes.
