‘The Wave’ (2016)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpiov-tcaeu
The geologist Kristian (Kristoffer Joner) is about to leave the Norwegian Mountain Resort where he works before a discovery stops biting on his traces. He realizes that activity inside a neighboring mountain strongly suggests that an avalanche is imminent – and capable of mass destruction. Due to the place where the mountain is located, the avalanche will cause a megatsunami that will cover the station in a wall of water and drown all its inhabitants. In a race against time, Kristian tries to warn everyone and evacuate his family before it is too late.
With its intrigue in the event of a natural disaster and the emphasis placed on the presentation of the scenes of mass destruction, The wave looks like a typical Hollywood blockbuster. But what separates him from big budget films like Earthquake with Burt Lancaster And Dante peak with Pierce Brosnan is that he never loses emphasis on his central characters. Kristian is not a stock hero – it’s just an ordinary man who tries to save as many people as possible. Its good intentions are sometimes not sufficient, and you really feel that the high cost of life is lost. The wave is an impressive action show that never feels cheap or operator.
The wave is streaming on HBO Max.
“ Better off dead ” (1985)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDSAVG_I_LW
Lane Meyer (John Cusack) is a depressed teenager whose girlfriend, Beth (Amanda Wyss), I just throwed him for the captain of the ski team whom he wants to desperately join. Depower, he tries to commit suicide without enthusiasm but fails each time. Believing that he has nothing to lose, he challenges Beth’s new boyfriend to a ski race on the intimidating mountain of the city to win Beth backwards or put Lane out of his misery for good.
Even if he has a main character who is suicidal, Metter off dead is a light and clumsy film from the 80s that is simpler than your average teenage comedy. (The treatment of suicide by the film is a little dated, but harmless.) The Lane family is an assortment of oddities, with a father obsessed with the fight against boring paper and a mother who cooks disgusting meals that are too disgusting. The highlight, which involves a race to win the heart of the heroine of the film, was parodied in programs like Southern parkBut it still works after all these years.
Metter off dead is streaming on HBO Max.
“What is your number? (2011)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGKXGRSX-A4
Anna Faris is one of the most gifted actors working today, but she has never played in a fairly large blow that would put her on list A with Julia Roberts or even Dakota Johnson. One of his films must he have been What is your number ?, A darling and silly rom-com who twinned him with Captain America himself, Chris Evans.
Faris embodies Ally, a thirty -year -old woman who is tired of sleeping and no longer wants to be single. After meeting an ex who succeeded in his life with another woman, Ally is determined to no longer sleep with new men and to seek all her loves spent in the hope of finding one who is now wedding equipment. Womanising, neighbor Colin (Evans) agrees to help him, but somewhere along the way, their friendship turns into something more. Will Ally abandon his rule “no new men” to give Colin a chance? And will Colin stop sleeping to get involved in Allied?
It is a standard Rom -Com intrigue, and the end does not surprise anyone who has already seen a film – any film – before. But What is your number? Works because of Faris and Evans, which shine old Hollywood charisma with a modern advantage. They play a little bruised characters out of love, and just want to find someone who will accept them for whom they are really: a little vain, slightly neurotic, but really good. The film is satisfactory in a way that only the main Hollywood films can be, which is why it is all the more perplexed that it was not a success in 2011.
What is your number? is streaming on HBO Max.
