Beauty and the Bestie.2015.DVDRip

Beauty and the Bestie.2015.DVDRip.Pinoy.Full.Movie – Wenn Deramas, being probably the most successful directors with regards to box-office returns with another comedy film starring Vice Ganda. The two happen to be working yearly whether it’s an MMFF entry or something like that for the fans. And now, tagging along them is among the popular love teams within the Philippines, JaDine made up of James Reid and Nadine Lustre. Vice Ganda, if you’re unfamiliar with his works mostly does satirical comedy and also the fans are contented with it albeit being harsh or nonsensical. The film’s  Beauty and the Bestie comedy works exactly the same but thankfully, adding Coco Martin to its story causes it to be watchable when he’s character drives the narrative inside a convincing way. The benefit of Beauty and the Bestie is that it doesn’t rely much on satirical comedy or any other out-of-nowhere input towards the story simply to make things fun or poker fun at things. The saddest thing concerning the film though would be that the comedy listed here are the insults. Accustomed to these kinds may find it satisfying but we’re beyond that age now. Adding Coco Martin to its story is the greatest thing concerning the movie because he keeps the film from being boring. There’s lots of interesting piece that’s usually rejected by its treatment. The Vice-Coco duo works because from the story however the characters isn’t written as someone you want to keep in our hearts for some time but is supposed to entertain and you off your busy time. Surprisingly, the JaDine love team isn’t used enough for that fans or even for that story. They seem to be an addition if there isn’t enough juice from the storyline, even their chemistry is a little off, not being built just like their previous films or current series. Beauty and the Bestie There’s much going without running shoes but this really is only the things they intended to offer.

The Big Short.2015.DVDRip

The Big Short.2015.DVDRip.Full.Movie – Adam McKay? This name resolves here first made quite a surprise. As a large-scale drama comes to the insane creation of the world financial crisis of 2008, therefore, studded with well-known stars and also in view of its start date clearly positioned in the race mingle at various film awards in the course of this year’s Oscar season. And the main responsible man behind this project is … Adam McKay ?! He’s always been used only in creative pairing with Will Ferrell in appearance, writing and directing slapstick comedies like “Ricky Bobby – king of racers” or-enjoying cult status in the US “Anchorman – The Legend of Ron Burgundy” was responsible and in accordance with yet never anything has produced what would come only in the vicinity of seriousness. “The Big Short” And now this gentleman wants to get ready, bring us closer to the world financial crisis? That he wants, and for good reason: He’s pissed powerful. In that, has actually changed very little on the basic structures, which conjured up the disaster. In that there is still a huge mess that the main culprits institutions basically scot came and now are merrily going manure same cause again. And about the fact that society in general is too convenient and lulled to add to see exactly what happened and appropriately rebel against. And so a few more people finally understand what really went back then, McKay has made a film “The Big Short” about it. Based on the eponymous non-fiction book by Michael Lewis makes McKay a few smart people in the financial world to his hero, the not closed as opposed to the entire rest of the business world’s eyes to the reality, but the collapse of the US mortgage market, which should cause the entire world financial crisis, saw coming. And so were among the very few people who have become very rich through this crisis. People like Michael Burry (Christian Bale), an almost autistic gifted Super Nerd by a fund manager who is unable to normal social life, but such a brilliant financial analyst that he could predict the nature and timing of the disaster exactly. “The Big Short” His prophecy (and its follow-up bets against a supposedly unwavering financial system) draws its circles, but few understand how properly Burrys analysis actually is. Among them: The working with Deutsche Bank on Wall Street analyst Jared Vennett (Ryan Gosling), who deeply disaffected hedge fund manager Mark Tree (Steve Carell), and the junior financial jugglers Jamie Shipley and Charlie Geller (Finn Wittrock and John Magaro) that using the financial market dropout Ben Rickert (Co-Producer Brad Pitt) try also from the impending doom to capitalize. McKay has set itself with this film “The Big Short”pretty high goals. He wants to tell his audience the background of a financial crisis, on the commonly circulating the impression that they would be in their formation been so complex that even professionals can not explain it properly. And he wants it as well as possible to chat, knowing full well that most people shut down internally very quickly with such a difficult and complicated issue. There is a lot to laugh accordingly so because McKay is doing what he can to Varied the potentially boring subject and fast-paced prepare and to explain key aspects in amusing possible packaging. So he chooses, for example, a rather surprising and entertaining way to tell its viewers some core concepts of the crisis as “subprime” or “collateralized debt obligation”. Without taking the gag anticipate, to put it briefly: It is one of many occasions in which the film the “fourth wall” breaks through and directly speaks to its viewers.This provides an opportunity for more laughs, as if the film draws attention to its own constructed nature in places where for reasons of cinematic dramatization an event is presented differently than it actually happened in the true story. But all this is also testimony of the central effort of the film: “The Big Short” is doing everything so that his audience does not deviate from the track, but grasp at any time, what was going on and that behind all this supposedly complicated jargon a couple pretty simple truths hid: Here was shit at every level always packed in new paper gold to sell them to. And all who participated.In all its laudable intentions to open the viewers’ eyes and to put in righteous indignation by an entertaining lesson about the world financial crisis suffers from “The Big Short” as a film but also in the limitations and problems that bring these intentions with it. He wants to be as funny as possible without lapsing into slapstick, has given his subject but only limited possibilities of humor, and the joke of dramatic irony that as viewers know exactly how things will turn out in the end, while the protagonistsbeing laughed at for their doomsday warnings repeatedly transmits only for some time. This all too familiar end of the story is also a due dramaturgical problem for the middle part of the film. Front the situation is analyzed and placed all bets on the doomsday, behind the system crash occurs last, but in between must indeed still something to be told. The problems and concerns, with which one grappling on the different storylines, seem in view of the great whole and the known output but quite irrelevant and ensure inevitable for a few lengths. And even if it happens to (just about) the truth is what the film tells here – dramatic, it is unhelpful that the paths of various protagonists never overlap, and for example,Christian Bale as Michael Burry felt never leaves his office or ever learns of the existence of other “hero” of this story. Ultimately, you will not get rid of the impression that this whole thing is a number too large for McKay’s skills as a writer and as a director. He gave unmistakably great effort and is based on the correct role models, to get such a complex issue in a rousing packaging – especially the influence of Martin Scorsese are unmistakable, as McKay his soundtrack peppered with rock music and with the direct address the audience plays. Given sure of style and subject matter, you can feel no accident reminiscent of the “Wolf of Wall Street”. But in contrast to the unshakable security of artisanal Scorsese you tend to feel as if the whole building, being duly wiggle, because it stands on no firm foundation for “The Big Short”. Trying to make a dialogue-heavy and rather dry financial market drama rousing and funny running, permanent danger to undermine the original intent of the film and to cover up the true, ugly seriousness of the events. It’s McKay’s righteous anger and his avid passion, but above all the partly terrific acting performers (especially once more Christian Bale) to thank for that “The Big Short” still halfway intact reaches the target and in the end creates what he wanted to create. This film wants to entertain you, but what he wants eventually more than everything else that you’re angry. Angry and aware that all this could happen again very soon.

Ip Man 3.2015.DVDRip.Donnie.Yen

Ip Man 3.2015.DVDRip.Donnie.Yen.Full.Movie – Yip Man 3, Five years and more than a few false starts later, Donnie Yen reprises his iconic role as the revered Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man, capping a trilogy that saw Ip Man rise to distinction in 1930s Foshan, survive the Japanese invasion in the late 1930s and early 1940s, move to Hong Kong in the early 1950s and finally start up his own martial arts school in the British territory during the same time. Despite an epilogue in ‘Ip Man 2’ teasing the appearance of Bruce Lee in this immediate sequel, those expecting the legendary movie star to make more than a glorified cameo will undoubtedly be disappointed; whether because of copyright reasons or otherwise, Danny Chan (who first made good of his physical resemblance to the late Lee in the TV series ‘The Legend of Bruce Lee’) only appears twice in the whole film – once, at the start to ask Ip Man to be his master and twice, in the middle to teach Ip Man to dance cha-cha in exchange for some kung fu training. Instead, ‘Ip Man 3’ finds the titular Master Ip rise up to protect the principal, staff and children (including his own younger son Ip Chun) of an elementary school from a ruthless property developer Frankie (Mike Tyson), while preserving his own reputation under challenge from an aggressive fellow practitioner Cheung Tin Chi (Max Zhang). Besides the much touted mano-a-mano fight with Tyson, the former sees Master Ip cross paths with the cocky gangster Ma King Sang (Patrick Tam), an ex-disciple of Master Tin (veteran martial arts actor Bryan Leung Ka-yan) who has no qualms kidnapping children in order to force the principal’s hand. The latter however is more Master Ip’s antagonist by circumstance than by choice; in order to prove his name in an already crowded field of martial arts masters tacitly competing against each other for name, fame and disciples, Tin Chi touts his technique as the authentic Wing Chun and openly challenges Master Ip to a competition in order to emerge from the latter’s long illustrious shadow. There are at least four good to great fights here – the first at the Western Union shipyard where King Sang and his gang hang out, the second between Master Ip and a Muay Thai kickboxer (played by Simon Kuke of Tony Jaa’s stunt team) sent by Frankie to ambush the former, the third between Master Ip and Tyson’s Frankie himself, and the last but not least between Master Ip and Tin Chi at the latter’s school. Like its predecessors, the best fights here are essentially two-handers between Donnie Yen and a worthy martial arts actor, so it isn’t surprising that out of the aforementioned four, it is the latter three that stand out. Of particular note, Yen’s duel with Kuke has an added thrill of taking place within the very confined quarters of a lift before moving on to a narrow stairwell; while Yen and Tyson’s one-on-one have the added urgency of time (i.e. within three minutes) and Yen’s finale with Zhang the added novelty of poles and knives in addition to pure fists. In Sammo Hung’s place, it is the hugely respected Yuen Wo-ping who is taking over as action director here, and the latter opts for less showy set-pieces that lack the sheer adrenaline rush of those in the first two movies but nonetheless are note-worthy for being grounded in realism. Yes, there is no equivalent of the tabletop fight between Yen and Hung in ‘Ip Man 2’, which though thrilling to watch was also criticised for being too heavily reliant on wirework and a suspension of disbelief; rather, Yuen assembles a supporting cast with actual kung fu abilities and talent – if not brute force (yes, we’re talking about you, Tyson) – to spar with Yen and leaves the rest up to the performers’ speed, agility, strength and skill. If there was the ambition of topping the earlier films, there is no hint of that here, and we suspect those who are just here for the action will probably come off a tad disappointed that there is no one standout moment of utter exhilaration that defines the entire movie. Yet ‘Ip Man 3’ is all the better for not trying to better its own predecessors; instead, it finds its own rhythm by being a touching portrayal of marital love and devotion between Master Ip and his wife Cheung Wing Sing (Lynn Xiong). More than the earlier films, Wing Sing’s supporting role is especially poignant here, as her character discovers from a persistent pain in her abdomen that she is in the late stages of cancer. A good part of the middle act of ‘Ip Man 3’ is composed of intimate scenes between Master Ip and Wing Sing as they struggle to come to terms with the latter’s frailty and impending fate, and what emerges in these quieter moments is a touching portrait of Ip Man’s profound love for his wife above all else, retreating into seclusion from the wider martial arts fraternity even as his reputation is on the line so as to be by her bedside day after day.
