The Top Ten Fantasy Movies |
|
Fantasy Movies show us marvelous creatures, incredible beings, sorcerers, heroes, princess and magic worlds where in little time oneself is immersed in a fantasy background. They are films that you never get tired of seeing, little jewels of cinema. Here you are a list of the best fantasy films: 1- The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy: The Fellowship Of The Ring/The Two Towers/The Return Of The King 2- The Chronicles Of Narnia 3- Willow 4- Ladyhawke 5- The Princess Bride 6- Harry Potter 7- Dragonheart 8- Legend 9- The Dark Crystal 10- The Neverending Story The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, shows the fantastic world of Tolkien. The director made some changes. It's logical, but I miss the dialog of Eowyn where she explains why she must go to war. I'd never had removed the full original dialog of the novel. But the films are very long and despite some changes, Peter Jackson followed the book quite well. Willow is fun, full of adventures and really entertaining. Willow is an dwarf who finds a baby princess, who according to the legend will finish with the terrible witch Bavmorda. Willow finds also a very funny character: Madmartigan (Val Kilmer), an antihero. But finally he keeps with his obligation. Ladyhawke, a cruel curse condemns two lovers to live separate forever. She is a lady in the night and a hawk at day, and he is a knight at day and wolf in the night. But a little thief will try to help the couple. The Princess Bride, a sick boy is visited by his grandfather who wants to read him a special book. The boy, in the beginning, don't wants to hear the story, but his grandfather is Peter Falk (Columbo) so finally he gets to read it to him. A story with a big sense of humor, with dialogs so unforgettable like: "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!". Another great scene is starring by Peter Cook: the wedding ("mawwage"). Harry Potter, Joanne K. Rowling created Harry Potter while she was suffering a depression. Today children (and not so children) enjoy with her books all around the world. Harry lives with his horrible uncles and his cousin. He seems not to belong to that detestable family. His destiny will be to become the biggest wizard of all times, but he will have to discover it. Dragonheart, what happens when only a dragon lasts in the world? What happens when you discover that this only dragon is a marvelous being? What happens when that who you must kill becomes your best friend? The result: in "Dragonheart". Legend, Lord of Darkness orders to kill the most pure and guileless beings: unicorns. Because when he exterminates all the unicorns, the Earth will be his. Jack and the princess Lily will have to protect the last of the unicorns. The Dark Crystal, when the Dark Crystal breaks, the harmony of universe is lost. There's only one hope: to repair the dark crystal and restore the order. This must be done by the last one of the Gelflings, Jen. In his travel he will meet other Gelfling, and with it he meets love too. The Neverending Story. The worst of this movie was its horrible soundtrack. Despite of this, it's a very entertaining story and full of fantasy. Bastian finds a book with all its pages in blank. This is a magical book that opens the door to a world that grows with the imagination of the humans. As people are loosing imagination, the Childlike Empress is ill, and the Nothing threatens their existence. Each one of us have his/her favorite list. I am sure I forgot some important movies. Tell me which. |

The author of "Women in art", Philip Scott Johnson, gets to amaze us again with another surprising work: "Women in film", where he makes a travel through time and shows us some important actress since the white and black films until our days. ![]() I am very happy because the person that has given me this award is the excellent photographer, Susanne Van Hulst.

Silver Surfer. His Story. |
|
With this post, I inaugurate a new section of this blog. A section about "comics & cartoons". The movie of this summer is "Fantastic four and Silver Surfer". But Who is Silver Surfer? Norrin Radd (Silver Surfer) is from the Zenn-La planet. A planet where peace reigns and a pacifism spirit predominate. Norrin Radd will work for Galactus, the planet eater, to avoid that Zenn-la is destroyed by Galactus. Norrin Radd will get planets to feed Galactus. In the beginning, planets without life; but these planets don't have enough energy, so Radd will get planets with primal life. This matter will give to him a big sorrow so Galactus handles telepathically Norrin Rad so Radd doesn't have conscience problems. Galactus will give superpowers to Norrin Radd, a silver appearance and a surfboard as vehicle. Norrin Radd will be Silver Surfer. Silver surfer will arrive to Earth planet. Here he discovered that he was fooled by Galactus. He will met the Fantastic Four, who convinced Silver Surfer to protect the Earth. Galactus enraged, and sentenced Silver Surfer to stay in the Earth forever. But thanks to Fantastic Four who broke the barrier of Galactus, Silver Surfer will be able to leave the Earth and discovers that Galactus has destroyed his planet. That happening will be a hard load in his heart forever. And Silver Surfer will be the protector of the Universe. |

The Top Ten Sci-fi Movies |
|
I start with this article a new section of this blog. All months there will be an article about cinema, about interesting films, top ten... After that, a list of the best Sci-fi movies. 1- The Star Wars Trilogy: Star Wars/The Empire Strikes Back/Return Of The Jedi2- Alien 3- Blade Runner 4- Matrix 5- E.T. The Extraterrestial 6- Close Encounters Of The Third Kind 7- Logan's Run 8- Dune 9- The Fifth Element 10- Tron Each one contributed to give shape to our imagination. And were very important in their moment. For Example: The Star Wars Trilogy, nobody can forget the sensations when they saw Star Wars for first time. John Williams sound track, and unforgettable characters: Han Solo, Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, Princess Leia Organa, Ioda... Always thought that the success of the trilogy was based of values as: friendship, courage, freedom, love... And a team of people that were part of a project in which they believed. Alien, absolute exiting. With a very good performance by Sigourney Weaver. Giger created a horrific creature that can remind us a space cockroach ( nobody can can kill it ) lol. Blade Runner, it's about a future time. Men create clones, they are treated as slaves, and they rebel. All clones must be exterminated. Only a question: can these clones love? Solution: at the end of the movie. The Matrix, I love and hate it. The argument is absolutely genial. But the specials effects as jumps, slow scenes, have been copied so many times, that there are hundreds of movies with the same photography, the same jumps... The film goes about what is the reality, and what we can perceive. It's the most interesting of this movie. E.T., absolute tender. This kind extraterrestrial desperately needed a mobile, lol. Charmed to everybody. I have to confess that I can't see the this movie because I begin to cry with the first tittle and until the end of the film. So the following day I can not open my poor eyes. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, everybody goes crazy for the possibility than extraterrestrials can exist or communicate with them... The end is a big concert lol!No, now seriously, it is a very emotive encounter between the human race and the extraterrestrials. Logan's Run, absolute interesting. It is a bit as "Brave New World" of Aldous Huxley. It's about the "perfect" society. In the film everybody must die at 30 years old, family doesn't exist, love doesn't exist, nor couple, nor sons... All is artificial happiness. Dune, it's an epic story between fantasy and science fiction. It's based in Frank Herbert's books. Were very popular books, and inspired the movie. The Fifth Element, each 5000 years one door between 2 dimensions is opened. Inside it, an element. Only this element must be found, the fifth. Tron, a programmer gets into a computer for recover his program that was stolen by the company that fired him. It's famous by an action scene which inspired a game very popular in that times. Each one of us have his/her favorite list. I am sure I forgot some important movies. Tell me which. |
