The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

Then I went to see it night yesterday. In the Seventies a film based on the same book in which is based (or it inspires) this last one, with Walter Matthau and Martin Balsam in the papers became of Denzel Washington and John Travolta, respectively. I have not seen that film, consequently those comparisons that I have read in diverse critics are to me indifferent; aside from which, gentlemen critics, already we know that the present film surely is cagarro compared with the one of then, but make the critic of the tape of Tony Scott, please…

The plot? Then terrorist? that it is made call Ryder (Travolta) it kidnaps a wagon of the meter of New York: or 10 million of $ within one hour pay to him or begins to kill hostages, one by every minute of delay. In the control of the meter, Walter Garber (Washington) is the one who receives the call of Ryder and that he will have to fight with him. Garber does not happen through its better moment: they have degraded to him after to be accused to accept a bribe. The negotiator of the Camonetti police (John Turturro) will try to help Ryder to negotiate with an hysterical and unstable Ryder, that will not doubt in killing hostages to secure its intentions. And the mayor of New York (James Gandolfini), also in low hours, will deal with which the subject does not go away to him of the hands. Therefore, a topical plot for a showy, dynamic and entertained product. Like the majority of the films of Tony Scott.

A script in which it interests, mainly, the part of films located in the tunnels of the meter of New York. Particularly, those images of the meter like the arteries of the city, that can take to a sociological and even anthropological reflection, are the best thing than it is possible to be removed from a film very of the sort to blockbuster. You do not become bored, but you either do not request too much to a product of fast consumption and lapsing to him. In the habitual style of Tony Scott, with fast movements of camera, travellings circular and supposedly suggestive images, the tape has much of aesthetic video and abuses the topics of films of kidnappings. The conversations by radio between Garber and Ryder we have heard surely them in or it remembers similar films to us (Speed, for example). The thing loses bellows in the final part, when the action moves to the streets of the city. In short, a recommendable film like which it is: summery product of good visual invoice, script that more into the hands of Helgeland promised and ephemeral equal result of which an ice cream in the middle of the beach.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

I have never considered spectacular or something of another world to the saga of the prehistoric animal in the era of ice, obvious, that does not mean that it finds it bad, on the contrary, I believe that they are films enough piolas and that they have entertained to me very in a weekend without which to see in the cable or which another repetition thanks to the DVD. They are parejitas films, as they would that way say, but nothing of the other world and no reinvención of the cinema of monitos (for that it is the house that gives films to us of houses with globes), so when I settled to see this third part only requested a thing… to maintain the level and to perhaps surpass itself just a little bit.



And if, It Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs like the two previous ones enough are entertained and maintain in the level of `film now piola', it surpasses the fact before? , a little, it madness but is not mejorcita that second at least. But we are going to order a little this and to see that we are speaking, the third part of the era of ice, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, is directed by Carlos Saldanha and Mike Thurmeier, and in her we found to the strange once again reunited herd in a context not before seen… with dinosaurios. Sid (John Leguizamo), Manny (Roman Ray), Ellie (Queen Latifah), Diego (Denis Leary) and all the other gallant personages discover that under its feet a new world with these bad-tempered dinosaurios is everything, in the middle of a Ellie embarrassed on the verge of having to guagua mammoth, a Diego who has an internal chaos because he feels that violent nature is `losing toque' and a Sid that as always walks leaving cagada, this time, when taking three eggs that found like own children that they finish being of a ferocious and bad T-Rex young lady, the one who obvious reclaims eggs and of step takes to Sid to the world subterranean, and causes by inertia that all the others must go to look for it, receiving there the aid of a mysterious and adventurous personage (with the delirious voice of Simon Pegg) who at the outset is for cagar itself of the laughter but that later latea a little. Good, obvious Ah and, paralelamente to history and like in the two previous films, we have to the Scrat squirrel doing all the humanly possible one to obtain the appraised food, but this time, with an opponent… the fémina Scratte.

The good thing that it has Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is that for want of reinvención it realises tress good maneuvers, first, continues exploding and stretching of correct way what or he has, secondly, the new personages are a real contribution for the diversion (although they guateen from time to time), and third, the wave of the dinosaurios and to remove by awhile to the personages of the snow or extreme view in the two previous ones works. In addition they increase the dangers and the adventure possibilities), are a visual rest, although I followed with the illusion until the end to have a touching and tear moment at which the prehistoric animal were eeted again with the boy which they take care of in first now in great modality. But that would be to request apples to him to churrasco after all. And good, as always this has all the familiar topic of the brígida friendship, bows, bla, bla, bla, good wave, Sid delirious coat of balls and the squirrel always a success.

Now to be super honest the extra of 3D gives the same, if they exceed lucas to them bacán, but is not a film that they have to do if or if in 3D, for my criterion it gives the same and the film works three-dimensionally or no. It Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is a film to which it is not necessary to ask to him much, coverall if the saga knows itself the prehistoric animal in the era of ice, is necessary to know clearly to which one is exposed when seeing it, they must go to see knowing it clearly that they are going to see more of the same, but just a little bit better. Not more than that. Good rate first half an hour, several good jokes and the same of always for the profiles of each personage plus whom another new delirium. Now not if he is something that they must go to see the cinema if or if because puta that is expensive the entrances, but of which is a good option for the cable or the DVD, is more than safe bet.
