Dream House. Contagion. Hidden 3D. 21 grams. Stay

Dream House

In the first 30 minutes, this psychological thriller seemed to be heading into a predictable Shutter Island direction, but by the end  it’s actually very solid. As much as I love supernatural horror, I am happy this wasn’t the case here. Yes, a ghostly aspect is present here, but it falls more into daydreaming category. Daydreaming has always been one of my favorite things in the world. Daydreaming, not to be mistaken with procrastinating, can be extremely comforting, but also emotionally draining and painful. Love both Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz, so of course I enjoyed the film and I’m happy I saw it at the cinema. It also stars little monster Kayla from Desperate Housewives, now in her teens. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig had so much chemistry in this film, they ended up falling in love and getting married in real life. I understand everything about the film, except for why the hitman killed the children.

8/10

Contagion

The doc was definitely my favorite character. The scene with people fighting for food was really well shot. Every time someone coughed at the cinema, the whole crowd looked at them. Best scene? kate winslet in a plastic bag, yeah, sorry.

7/10

Hidden 3D

It was not that bad actually. The house was beautiful, the story not as bad as it looks like. Enough blood, adequate movie, was actually a little bit surprised how good it turned out.

The Slap 1.08

Finale of the whole series. That is super sad, as this show was pretty much brilliant. Last episode, masterpiece. the parts with richie’s mother, when she found out, when she found him and the car scene, were the best.

10/10

American Horror Story 1.08

holy shit, I was right! Tate is the rapist in the rubber suit! Now he’s screwing the mother and the daughter. this show is just excellent. but Vi is a whore, how the fuck can u let ppl take away your mother, when u know she’s NOT mentally ill? what the fuck is wrong with u, kid? but Vivien, noo! why are you sending my second favorite character to some nut house?! and no jessica lange in this episode, wtf?

Dexter 1.02

8/10

Dexter 1.03

‘I don’t believe in angels, but I do believe there’s a constant struggle between light and dark in the world. Maybe sometimes the light can win out, but in my experience darkness usually prevails.’

‘We all want life to have some kind of meaning. Seems like the older we get, the harder we look for it, the harder it is to find n some of us just look at the wrong place. But if our lives don’t have meaning, what can we leave behind for those we care about?’

9/10

Dexter 1.04

‘The man who terrorized the Pacific North West for 20 yrs all he has left is a box of teeth?’

‘Is this what happens to serial killers at the end of their lives?’

‘When you can’t do this anymore what do you have then?’ ‘More?’ ‘You’re kidding yourself. All I ever cared about was killing and I can’t…’

even do that right anymore. That is what you got to look forward to. This is your future and it includes adult fucking diapers!’

‘I don’t know which slide goes where. Who’s who. There’s no order anymore.’

‘An intervention? An intervention? I’ve patients to see.’ ‘There are no patients coming today.Today is about u.’ ‘Are u freaking kidding me?One of you…one of u is supposed to have the guts to speak up. One of you has to have the balls to say something to me. Do u? Any of u?!’

Desperate Housewives 8.08

noooo Bree! Put this thing down!

‘U’re clever! Creating a scene like a crazy artist! Genius! Keep it up, Keep it up! I’m gonna grab a photographer. The crazier, the better!’

‘Mrs Delfino, you are officially sold out. Thanks to this lovely lesbian couple.’ best line.

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private. When our solitude can no longer be denied. When our pain can no longer be ignored. But sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes to strong to fight.

‘I never wanted people to see these paintings. I feel miserable.’ ‘Then congratulations, you’re finally an artist.’

Brilliant episode.

Greys Anatomy 8.09

Everything is so fucking perfect in this episode. I was always mad at the writers because tey never wrote anything good about Teddy, who I loove, so when I saw this fucking amazing midseason finale I was broken and happy that this character is going to be drepressed for a while. Henry, Never seen that one coming! I am not liking the the Arizona/Mark friendship, this is just terrible. Meredith and Derek not getting Zola back, nicely written. And Alex and Mer, that was good too. My mother couldn’t sit through all Cristina screwing with time scenes, and yes that was hard to watch. Excellent episode, best of this season so far.

Nooo! I do not accept this! Henry, why Henry!? The writers just ruined my 2nd favorite otp. I’m sorry, Teddy, how could they do this to you?

”I had a terrible day.’ We say it all the time. A fight with the boss, stomach flu, traffic. That’s what we describe as terrible, when nothing terrible is happening.’

‘Henry wants to go to med school, can u believe it? A med student at his age, that’s crazy. This could ruin the next 5 or 10yrs of my life.’

‘She’s my friend! If she finds out I waited, she will never forgive me.’ ‘Her husband just died in our OR. She’ll never forgive any of us.’

‘When the really terrible things happen, we start begging a God we don’t believe in to bring back the little horrors and take away this.’

‘It seems quaint now, doesn’t it? The flood in the kitchen, the poison oak, the fight that leaves you shaking with rage.’

‘Would it have helped if we could see what else was coming? Would we have known that those were the best moments of our lives?’

10/10

Private Practice 5.07

Coop, Charlotte n Mason make the cutest family. Knowing the writers they’re going to kill his mother off, so they can be the perfect family. Will AddiSam ever end?

I don’t see how can the new neighbor be meant for Renee, no chemistry there! But with Bree, oh my, shipping it! This season is pretty good.

‘No! I can’t go to jail.’ ‘N we can?’ ‘U’ll start a gang. Bree’ll work in d kitchen. I’m d smallest 1, I am so ending up somebody’s bitch!’

The Strokes

As I’ve been checking out new bands, I come across The Strokes. I’ve heard of them, but never actually their music. So I turned on one song, I believe it was Under Cover of Darkness and their music just didn’t suit me first as It was ‘too happy’ for my sad existence. I’m all about music first, not words, so If I don’t hear electric guitars/drums playing the usual rock or metal sound It won’t get my attention. I turned them off, then after few days I came exhausted after school and decided to give them another chance. Downloaded the ‘Angels’ album and started listening to it. My reaction was still ‘the music’s too happy for me’, then I just started doing homework with Angels album in the background. whatever I’m doing music’s always playing. After a few songs I was starting to like it, and after 2 times of listening to the whole CD, I started to actually enjoy it.

Still I can’t say I’m absolutely crazy about them, their music is still to energetic and happy for me, but puts me in a pretty positive mood, so If that was the idea, then The Strokes passed this test.

Some of the songs I now find very good.

Life is simple in a moonlight
Call me back
Metabolism
Taken for a fool
Machu Piccu
You’re so right
Games

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started as weekly reviews on movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, partially thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd, and partially because of my demanding day job.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

26. Polish-British and proud of both of my citizenships.

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’

‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)

(Short Term 12)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
