Jackie Chan – Behind the Proscenium

The World’s End

With Wit, Reviewed By Kimmo Mustonenen

There are times in which life is art.

And then the art is also life, in reality.

The brain sees, with his eyeball friends, things that are not real reality – but film reality which is sometimes MORE real, although not at all.

This is that time, or was.

When I was in “The World’s End.”

Or so I had the thought that it was true.

I’ll explain.

“The World’s End” is my life story without me and my life.

“How am this be possible, Kimmo?” shouts your thoughts.

So did my own thinking thoughts, with the shouting. I was confusion.

See if this helps:

Plot? Hell right!

In the distant past, before internet porn, Gary (Simon Pegg) was too cool for most school. He had too cool friends – Peter (Eddie Marsan), Oliver (Martin Freeman), Steven (Paddy Considine) and funny fat guy Andrew (Nick Frost).

They are different actors when younger. Even with the sweet, sweet smoke there was no brain confusion from this.

They went on the most ever of all epic pub crawls (in Finland we call this “pretty much every day of the week”) – “The Golden Mile” only to become whimpy nerds after six.

This failing causes them all to be boring older persons, except for Gary, who is still good at drinking.

In the today times, Gary wants to recreate the moment and defeat “The Golden Mile” and make it to the last pub (The World’s End) where there will be much vomiting if done correctly.

He gathers his older, more hairless gang, and head to town.

Then weird shit hits the fan.

I will give no spoiling, only to say that the trailer had robots and the movie has robots. On a pub crawl.

This is where it is my life.

In Finland, there are many crawling to pubs AND there are robots. Son of a bitch.

Why is my living life on the movie screen? I am in freak out mode.

Simon Pegg is playing me. WTF?

When I had a calmer time, I began to see the genius of it all. Make a movie about Kimmo, without Kimmo, and Kimmo will love the damn thing!

So, what have my feelings on this to say?

First, great, great movie!

Friends, beer, hot chicks, beer, shots, beer, robots, beer, and then more beer.

Acting – great! Andy drinks water and Gary is all “you are for the drinking of rain!”. So, writing is good, too.

If you are of the drinking person type, you will drool into your popcorn.

I did.

The beer is luxuriously photo’d. Damn, the beer was pretty.

Then there are three girls known in the past as “The Marmalade Sandwich.”

They deserve it, and prove it in the best sequence that had no nudity but was still “ooo la la” to my nether regions. My loins quivered.

My only fault finding with this film was that the three were not butt naked. The movie would have then been an instant classical movie.

So, two thumbs straining to the sky! I am all happiness, for now I know that Hollywood (English Hollywood – they talk more better and party hearty!) knows how my mind thinks and that makes me happy.

For I miss Finland.

I miss crawling to pubs.

And I miss crawling to pubs with robots.

Go to Finland and one day you will miss these things, too.

P.S. American football is almost here. I have now eaten a hot wing, a nacho, and those quesadilla things. American football will make me a fatty fatterson! And I am in love with it!

Kung Fu Panda 2

With Wit, Reviewed By Kimmo Mustonenen

As much as the makers love it, just a two track for a successful film to hang on, so suspicious and critical viewers will see the movie, the sequels mostly.

No wonder even particularly that in Kung Fu Panda 2, the same rules as most sequels are, unfortunately: we get the story hardly new to see, but just old wine in new bottles (I like wine!) and other strip has the rather pale imitation.

What?

In animation, the sound then, unfortunately, do not hide the fact.

In 2008 came Kung Fu Panda from Dreamworks Animation forged in the cinema and told the very sympathetic story of a somewhat clumsy panda, which, while not Kung Fu fits so, but it is the chosen one.

We then experienced the development of soup dishwasher without self-awareness towards the greatest Kung Fu fighters that China has ever seen.

This time, the sympathetic Po as the chosen prove herself and sees an evil enemy confronted with, will cut off the Kung Fu. To defeat this enemy, Po far in his past have to go back and create memories that he has been ousted.

Major theme in Kung Fu Panda 2 is the origin of the Po and the fact that it seems otherwise give pandas to none. Despite this fact very appropriate points of contact to the first part of the writers do not make it real, and the creativity of its predecessor to bring back the flair.

Relying too much on the curiosity of the clumsy panda with big belly as a Kung Fu master and missed the chance to further develop the characters.

Overall, the story seems really nice to be heading past the very first part plagiarized.

Po must find itself again and again he has to recognize reality (what?) as it is through the area “fight” and often by luck and the Furious Five (NOT Fast and the Furious Five – different movie!) in general comes through only.

Here one might well expect character development, certain one that everyone involved but fails.

The animation is, as in the first part, great looking and very creative, for example, when it comes to the memories of Po. But landscapes to convince also know the care and variety.

Overall, should Kung Fu Panda 2 put up with criticism that is actually the same story told again in modified form?

During the first part by innovation of a Kung Fu fighting panda was able to score even more so this time it looks rather bleak when the creativity of the story is about.

How can you know otherwise?

If you think about this weakness but can ignore about it and just the only good animated pictures happy, then you may well have his fun.

For children it should be noted that especially in the dialogues of the original version to more severe sentences is that the synchronization could be defused yet again.

Otherwise, the rub is just for families but to recommend it because the children can enjoy the various animals on. And they will.
