The following five movies are the last ones I have seen in the last two weeks.
5. "Life As We Know It" (2/10)
Okay I know the über-sexy jock Josh Duhamel is one of the two main protagonists of the film but honestly, this is not enough to support a whole movie; I mean even with your sexiness, you still have to be a good actor.
The story of this very annoying and boring movie evolves around two over-paid Hollywood actors -Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel- who supposedly hate each other but must meet sometimes as their respective best friends are married together.
When their best friends -who are parents to a one year-old daughter- die, they are both entitled to take care of their beloved daughter, inherit their house and assets. Of course, as they are supposed to hate each other, they resist sexual tension and stuff but eventually fall in love (duh!) and have sex. Sincerely, this is god-awful and I wouldn't recommand it to anyone, regardless of how cheesy they are.
4. "L'Appât" (3/10)
As a proud Québécois that I am, I'm glad to watch some movies of our "cru". But in the case of "L'Appât", it's more shame than proudness that would be felt by any Québécois! Similar to what meine Freundin Nizza told me about the Zombie-themed Norwegian movie "Dead Snow"! Okay so the movie features Guy A. Lepage and Rachid Badouri as the two main characters who are Super Zeros and are investigating about a killer who actually looks like a black model.
Guy A. Lepage was quite funny in the movie but Rachid Badouri is unbearable! I really hate him! He thinks he's tha shit'n stuff but tha brotha is supposedly an humorist but he ain't funny! Oh and Maxim Roy is the worst actress any camera has ever known!
3. "Karla" (6.5/10)
Between 1990 and 1993, Homolka and her beloved psychopath Paul Bernardo kidnapped, raped, tortured and killed several girls until they were both arrested.
Homolka was wise enough to make a plea bargain and that's mainly why she's been able to get released from jail and embrace full liberation... a thing that should have never been granted!
"Karla" Is a biographical movie and I have to say that it pretty much describes her life well and features somewhat good actors like Laura Prepon and the quite good-looking Misha Collins as the fatal couple.
2. "Agathe Cléry" (9/10)

2. "Agathe Cléry" (9/10)
This movie is really funny and memorable! I wish I could say that I bought it but I'm too cheap! I like French movies!
Okay so the plot of this film is a racist Businesswoman who happens to develop a very rare medical condition: the Addison's disease. Indeed, this disease darkens skin and hair and creates hyper-pigmentation. It's a bit like reverse vitiligo! Presented as a musical, Agathe Cléry turns black and has to modify her whole life and thus, her life habits. She looses her job, gets discriminated, gets dumped by her boyfriend and needs to find new friends and acquaintances.
Having promised herself not to ever date a black man, Cléry ends up falling in love with her new boss who is played by Anthony Kavanagh (an edible chocolate bar who also acts in Quebec movies). I would highly recommand Agathe Cléry! Especially if like me, you've been dreaming of being black since you were young!
1. "Black Swan" (10/10)
Unlike most University teachers, I'm not one of those people who never give A+ or 100%. I mean when you deserve it, you deserve it. That is definitely the case of "Black Swan"; it is truthfully an awesome movie!
Nathalie Portman, an Israeli-born actress (I love'em Israelians and I'm going to Israël this summer!), plays the role of Nina, an innocent and prude girl who's overprotected by her castrating mother who daydreams about dancing for the New York Company.
Nina's ambition is to be playing the role of the White Swan in Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" ballet. Being a psychological thriller, the movie is a bit hard to understand but I believe it was intended that way as all psychological movies are!
After meeting Lily (Mila Kunis) who would be perfectly fitted to play the Black Swan, Nina unravels a previously-undiscovered dark side to her persona. You MUST watch this movie! Incentive to its screening: the movie won the Academy Award for Best Actress and was nominated for multiple categories including Best Director and Best Picture.
