Movie review - War of the Worlds

War of the Worlds

Director: Steven Spielberg

Writers: Josh Friedman, David Koepp and H.G. Wells

Actors: Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Justin Chatwin and Tim Robbins

My guess: 6,6? - 2008? (6,5 - 2005)

My Points: 7,1 - 3½/5

Well, a pretty nice movie - but not the best...

Baseball between the father; Tom "Ray Ferrier" Cruise and the son; Justin "Robbie" Chatwin was nice.

Dakota "Rachel Ferrier" Fanning as the daughter was also nice, although I - in the days - hated her! But, she little 'over' acted - and not so little...

The Aliens 'in the asfalt' were pretty nice and cool. When they 'shooted' people, it was nice when they turned in to dust clouds.

When Ray 'dealed' the breads like playing Poker, and kids where just yawning - was pretty damn funny!

The fallen plane wreck was nice, looked kinda real. Hijacking the 'solar' car was nice.

Robbie going in to the 'army war' was cool.

Nice to see Tim Robbins, 'his' movie The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is still number one (maybe not in my opinion, but in IMDb it indeed is still number one). But he's scene ('the cellar') was kinda boring, and stupid! Aliens searching every cellar, dont think so... Or maybe they just searched in accidentally that one (where the good guys were...)?!

The ending, well... kinda shitty and 'blaaaah' - I didn't like (expecially for the first time, but not even now...)!

Movie review - Häjyt

Häjyt

Director: Aleksi Mäkelä

Writers: Aleksi Bardy

Actors: Samuli Edelmann, Juha Veijonen and Teemu Lehtilä

My guess: 6,8? - 2000? (7,1 - 1999)

My Points: 7,2 - 3½/5

A very good Finnish movie, one of the best! The music is great!

Samuli "Jussi Murikka" Edelmann and Juha "Antti Karhu" Veijonen was an awesome "bad guys" (which 'name' I will use for now on) twosome.

Bad guys (and police man) singing "Murheellisten laulujen maa" was very nice!

It was funny when the bad guys eat the buffet, what was reserved for "nimismies".

It was also funny, when Jussi & Antti got a job from supermarket. Jussi "haistatti paskat" (smelled the bullshit) and leave the job right away. Antti stayed for a while, but when he got enough - it was funny when he left the supermarket "ovet paukkuen" (doors banging) - and gived the boss "a ride of his life".

It was a sad moment, when the grandpa died. Or did he died..? Watch the movie, which I definately recommend!

Also a very sad moment, when the young boy died...

It was funny, when Eero "Stig (Koskinen) Nenonen" Aho got beaten a couples of times - expecially to the 'nasal area'. I think, now'a'days he wouldn't do this kinda part - 'cause he's a kinda big star. For example, he plays "Koskinen" and was on Tuntematon sotilas (2017). His ego could't do this "mother's son" kinda role anymore. At least, that is my guess...

That was some stupidy, that Jussi could't rip off the cars armrest (picture)?! Hell, even I could do that...

Or maybe he wanted to die, dont know... But minus that stupidy, this was a great movie - what I have always liked (from childhood to now...)!

This may not be a great movie to 'foreigners' (out of Finland), but all finns definately could love this one without any inhibitions. But I recommend you to give this a chance, there's subtitles (to English) - so...
