Hi everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying the weekend. Today's post will be a bit different but I have some beauty reviews coming very soon so stay tuned!
When it comes to movies, I really enjoy watching horror, drama, thriller and disaster films but they must be realistic. I don't enjoy movies with some special effects and events that are impossible in real life - for example I don't really like films where people are able to fly or have special powers etc. I don't know why but I simply don't have fun watching these.
So here is the list of the movies I have seen, some of them in last month, some of them in last 6 months but I definitely recommend checking this out.
I didn't want this post to be super-long so I just mentioned 6 movies, however, I might be doing similar post very soon.
Readers, let me know if you have seen any of these movies and what others you recommend!
TAKEN 1, 2 & 3
Taken is one of my favorite movie. I truly enjoyed watching all parts but I think Taken 3 was the best. I actually went to the cinema to see the premiere of part 3 and I was positively surprised. I guess everyone who has seen part 1 and 2 and then saw part 3 expected something absolutely different. Many times, when they make second, third and forth part of the movie, it is getting worse and worse and more boring but with Taken 3, they have played with the scenario a bit to surprise everyone.
Those, who have not seen Taken 1 and 2, I recommend seeing it before you see Taken 3. Part 1 is about a girl, who travels from America to Europe and she is kidnapped by foreigners, her dad, retired CIA operative, who is in America wants to find her but his time is limited and he is very far. In part 2, the family travels abroad but this time it is a dad and mum that are kidnapped and daughter is trying to save them.
Taken 3 is full of surprises so I won't tell you a word about it but it is definitely nothing you are expecting!
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor
This movie is seriously amazing - not only because of its scenario but the director of this movie definitely showed something that takes place in people's lives but not many movies are about it actually. To not tell you what the whole movie is about so you be excited to see this, I am just going to say few words: have you known anyone who got 'bored' in the relationship and started to look for some 'excitement' in another woman/man without actually appreciating what they have? That's what this film is about!
I am 100% sure every woman out there would enjoy this movie!
Addicted
This movie is actually very similar to the one above. It is about a woman who is addicted to sex BUT it is not like these nymphomaniac movies where there is nothing apart from sex in the scenario. This movie shows that communication is very important in the relationship but also shows that people who we might think have everything - money, great job, family and love are not necessarily those who have everything and their life might not be as beautiful and exciting as it seems.
UNITED 93 / FLIGHT 93
This is a sad movie based on facts that happened on 11 September 2001 in USA. It shows what was happening on the plane and before taking off. As passengers were trying to take over the plane from terrorists, it is said that thanks to them this plane didn't crush to White House or Capitol.
LUCIA DE B.
Another interesting movie - Lucia de B., which is about a woman accused of murdering her patients - infants. Everyone seems to be against this women until one of the lawyers, who was acting against her at first, notices there is something wrong with the evidence, which show that she might not be guilty. The lawyer doesn't want an innocent woman to be in jail therefore decides to help her. Unfortunately the case takes years to be solved and in the meanwhile Lucia spends years in prison.
UNKNOWN
Liam Neeson is an amazing actor and Unknown is a great movie about him being part of some conspiracy, however, he has an accident and forgets many things including who he is. He also has some facts mixed in his head - conspiracy plan and his real life is mixed and he doesn't know which facts he discovers about himself are true and which ones were lies made up to succeed with his plan.
