Moviescellaneous

Before we start, I would like to introduce you Our new blog category called Moviescellaneous that is going to contain miscellaneous facts, information, reviews and opinions about studios, individuals and movies. Hope all of us are going to enjoy this so called Moviescellaneous. Now lets start.

1) Most improved Actor(MIA) of year - Daniel Brühl.

Though Mr.Brühl is 36 so far and he had plenty of roles in quite popular and even well-known movies (Bastards by Tarantino, third movie in Bourne franchise, Good bye, Lenin) 2013 was the best year of his career. Two movies he made in 2013 showed what an aptitude he has got. First one, is The Fifth Estate. Political Biopic, journalism drama-thriller directed by oscar-winner Bill Condon(Dreamgirls, last two movies of Twilight). Though movie is not good enough to satisfy ordinary viewer and majority of movie critics, spanish actor Brühl showed best he has got. Even though this movie depicts the other side of famous Wikileaks' creator, Julian Assange's story, a first assistant of Assange (who is portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, a guy who is MOS of year and our second Moviescellaneous topic) Daniel Berg (Brühl's character) eventually gets stage off Assange's hand. Some people state the reason why Berg takes the lead, is a propaganda against Wikileaks' head by filmmakers, they say"it was planned to give Berg more stage" "they deliberately create anti-sympathy against an Australian I.T genius and political activist" "Berg is just playing doll" In general things like this. But it is not about Berg, it is about Brühl. He shows a real state of a man who believes in one ideology and eventually gets fooled by treacherous partner, who later becomes a leader of their fight. Some scenes his performance is thoroughly convincing and provoking, for instance: when they make network chart at restaurant, when he reveals an initial team members of Wikileaks(My aim is not to give you any spoils, but this one is an exception.) that all these members are the fake accounts, created and managed by Assange, and of course Berg's performance with his love interest and a remarkable debate between he and Julian. Brühl was mesmerizing in The Fifth Estate. But main powerHouse of Brühl's talent is his next movie.

RUSH. Probably one of the best and indisputable number ONE underestimated movie of year. You will agree, Rush was really cool. An outstanding direction, impressive plotting (that is why they went to win a well deserved BAFTA award for best editing) Highly acclaimed performance from Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl (who portray an actually happened rivalry between two legendary F-1 pilots James Hunt and Niki Lauda). Brühl plays a role of Austrian F-1 world Champ who is highly idealist, self&success-obsessed, intrevert guy who is thirsty to accomplish everything in career and eventually gets addicted to it. Sometimes he behaves like a real dirk and asshole, sometimes he gets emotional blast and on particular case shows an ANGER. That is the power of Niki Lauda driven by Brühl. And especially Lauda's sadness when he is watching Hunts success while being injured and his giant eagerness to get back to circles as soon as possible. These moments are absorbing, hypnotising and really entertaining as a Sport-drama and Adventure. Nevertheless He almost had a screen role as much as Hemsworth did, he had been nominated as a Supporting actor for BAFTA and Golden Globe(unfortunately a great hit Rush was not nominated even for a single Academy-award)

In conclusion, Brühl is really good and he deserves to be given an opportunity as Mads Mikkelsen, Jean Dujardin or Jon Hamm or MOS.

Okay now our second man is Benedict Cumberbatch, a MOS of year.

Benedict Cumberbatch is a very talented actor with high stage and voice abilities, he is the a one, in my opinion, is the Most Overestimated Star of 2013. Benedict started his career with a little roles in British low budget and less known movies, stage-plays and tv-series, as well as he has narrated a number of narrating roles(as I mentioned his voice is awesome) Benedict is more known as a Sherlock to us. Cumberbatch became popular after the second season of BBC's mini-series mainly thanks to Online Streaming, original Sherlock Holmes duology by Guy Ritchie and villain Doctor Moriarty's(Andrew Scott) tricky games. Sherlock stared as an English military major he couldn't bring any attention to his performance. It is obvious that Benedict hasn't improved his acting since, it is just Steven Moffat's prodigy Sherlock enhanced his name. It would be truly unfair to defy a talent of Cumberbatch, but he is doing something special recently to be called praised that much. He made 5 movies in 2013. The Fifth Estate, where he was good but much behind of Daniel Brühl as we discussed before, Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, where he had double role as a dragon Smaug (he actually plays this flame throwing dragon via capture motion) and a voice role as Sauron, 12 years a slave, August: Osage Country: 2 movies including Best Picture winner 12 years a slave in both Benedict fell behind of emotion and humanism which is not usual of him, and finally Star Trek: Into Darkness, a sequel to 2009's J.J.Abrams directed Reboot of famous Franchise. For me Khan, a villain he played in cosmic adventure and sci-fi action is a best role he had in 2013. Why? 1) Khan is so cold and smart. 2) He had everything in his mind beforehand 3) He is a main plot-twister of script. But haven't it remained you a modern Sherlock? Isn't it a same role with different occupation and name? Yes! Exactly it is! That is the best thing he achieved in 2013. But this is nothing but a sneaky astro Sherlock. I say, he is great but not so much, and if we are going to exaggerate this talent constantly he will be like a next Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. Lets treat him like a Christian Bale and support him till he gets a well deserved Statue as Bale did with Fighter. Otherwise Cumberbatch will continue to be Sherlock over and over as Captain Jack Sparrow was an Indus Tonto, Vampire and is going to be an artificial intelligence soon. Similar thing is going on with Jennifer Lawrence right now. She was a mad lady in Silver Lining Playbook, a crazy wife in American Hustle. Even Katniss Everdin became madder and odder in second Hunger Games and don't get surprised if Magneto sends Raven to Asylum in upcoming X-men movie. That is why giving a Supporting actress role to Lupita Nyongo was a best decision made by Academy in 2013.

That is our first meeting about Moviescellaneous topics. A really hope you liked and enjoyed it as I did. and we are going to meet again at Moviescellaneous. Soon I am gonna post my favorite 15 movies of 2013 but right I still could not watch Her and Wolf of Wall Street, but in general 2013 is one of the greatest years in movie history and I am sure we all have some favorite movies from this great movie year. Now thank you for sharing your time with me, be free put comments, give advices and opinions. See you soon once more ladies and gentlemen. and remember, A good meal is tasty when is not over salted.

With all respect, Farid

Chapter 1 I ll be back.

Some people dream often, some realizes them, other pursue till the end, but nothing more. There someones who are waiting for gleams or sparkles which bring priorities to detect the location of their dream. Even some of us are not sure for what they are dreaming or living. In general, why do we dream? No. No. No. It is a good question actually, but in this case proper one would be "Since when or after what we start to dream?" Thousand of options come to different minds. Me for example. First I start to think about me and my close people. Lets take Harold. Harold(I ll introduce him more thoroughly later) is a guy whose dream is find Time Machine. He came to this dream since he went to kinder garden, from the first day when he was counting minutes till break. Interesting, but true. On the one hand it seems so crazy and you begin to think "come on! Who the hell is dreaming of Time Machine?" but believe me, You don't know this loser and you are not aware of what are the constraints of this loser's potential. Hmmm. Why do I call him loser? Because he is Loser(P.S: I never waste my energy to call or think of somebody who is not valuable for me) Lets get back to main topic. Harold hasn't discovered Time Machine yet, though he is fond of Herbert G. Wells, Albert Einstein, Michio Kaku, Stephen Hawking and other ones. And for my personal opinion Harold even not searching for Time Machine. Then why does he dreams of this freaking machine? Harold is one of the most talented man I have ever met and he can be easily anyone he wants. When we had common lectures our teacher, a mid-aged witch with a few positive qualities called him lawyer. My economy teacher was fond of him and stated, Harold could be a rigid driver of economy. There was girl, to whom Harold sent a postcard on her birthday and when I read his card, letters created by sky-blue ink impressed me indeed, but who the hell is this Loser?

He is Human Engineer. Can you believe that? A man who is capable of dozen stuff is just an engineer. He is not even a Mechanical or Civil engineer, but just simply Human Engineer who looks after workplace and human factor. Funny. Yeah really funny. Why not to be a physician when you have great potential or chemist?(he could create unique explosive things and sell it to some organizations). Ok. Another question? How is he going to find this Time Machine? And now let me answer. He did it so far.

This Loser has no habit like wasting of time. He never eats more than he needs. Never sleeps later than it is required and he is even younger, but had remarkably more experience than people of his age, may be even more than me.(not sure.) If you meet him, you will probably think,"is that man from our time or universe?" and I assure you, he is and he discovered Time Machine, not literally but he did. May be the proper usage of method Just In Time is the key to the Time Machine. If you use your precious time properly there is no point to go future or get back to the past as you know what you will face in the future and what were your mistakes in the past. I think Harold realized his Time Machine Dream so far.

Now me. What is my dream? Lets find it out.

I am not sure is that a fact or a rumor, were spread by my parents, but I believe that, it is true. Be patient I am telling it to you right now.

In my fourth month I was crying and shouting like a little bitch, which tail was trampled down. On those times my uncle lived with us. He and my dad were watching Terminator 2 on VHS when the DVD was not common format yet, but whatever they tried they couldn't prevent me from weeping and I even diminished low quality of VHS. They knew, that I am little. Even took me to the doctor, but he said I am okay and just a bit noisy baby and wished them good luck against my endless weeping. So they had no other option. I was a sole child of this family and they were old enough. But on that night uncle was tired of me. I do not blame him as I can't endure crying children either. And my uncle was angry. Finally he shouted.

"Why he doesn't shut up?" he was angry like a beast. He loved and took care of me, but still was so dangerous on that moment. Mammy says that "probably he would throw you from the window, if he was holding you on that moment" Pity. They almost killed me because of James Cameron movie.

"I don't know how to stop him" replied mammy to my uncle.

"It is like, I am watching a silent film" uncle yelled.

"Okay, then pump up the volume. What else can I do?" mammy advised.

Uncle turned the sound to its maximum level and I started to cry even louder."This little demon annoys me so much! He is playing with our damned nerves!"

"Be Calm"my mother was so horrified with the tone of uncle and tried to calm him down, though it was not working.

"No! I am going to drink something! May be I ll not come this night!" uncle jumped off soft armchair.

"Stop! Come on! He is just a baby"

"He is a copy of Lucifer! I can't bear him anymore"

They quarrel lasted for several second until my dad shouted on them "Stop for the God Sake!" and silence got the control of room. No extra voices were heard expect those coming from tv. Both my parents and uncle were confused and were looking at the little creature on my mother's hands. I shocked them. I was so attentive and serious. My eyes were concentrated on the screen deeply and T100 were said his famous quote "I am back". Immediately after it I start to rejoice from happiness. My uncle with dropped jaw and widely opened eye smiled and take me from mother. I still was watching the film, like an adult who enjoys it. At the end of the Terminator 2 Judgement day I was sleeping on the knees of my uncle and since that curious case I became a newest member of movie-watchers in our family. James Cameron was the man who discovered how to keep me calm. At the bottom of my heart I released what is my dream when I was 4 months old, but I became 100 percent sure of it several years later when I watched a movie about World War II. You may ask why World War and why specially that movie? First I loved that movie. Second one which made me even cry a bit. I found out that the release day(not year) is the same with my birthday. Curious and mysterious. But it is a pure reality.

These two occasions and infinite love in movies helped me to discover my dream. I wanna be a filmmaker. Director, Screen player, Editor and a producer. But especially the first one.

That is my story about discovery and pursue of my dream, my main goal in my life. And the main reasons of this discovery may be just simple coincidences, games of probability or something else. I don't care, but on the other hand it can be signs from the grandest creature. I do believe in it. I do live with this belief. If you think I am crazy, then listen to my advice and never search something extra-ordinary, cause the stuff you are looking for are close to you, than you can ever dream of.

But If I could get your attention, then be patient and wait for my whole story.

Call me Joe. That is not my real name, but I can share with you an interesting origin of Joe. I can introduce you an unusual world of Joe. A science of JoeGraphy.

If you really want to be a part of my journey, then wait for Joe. If you really want to discover the secrets of JoeGraphy then have a confidence in Joe.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger says in Terminator, I LL BE BACK.

Steps, Stairs, Ladders, Elevators

Each life takes its origin from the zeroth step. Each new step opens a dozen of alternatives doors. We must choose one of these doors and open it, but if we step down all of them will be closed. This step will be gone, but not permanently. It will just wait for us till the next proper time. But we shouldn't get upset until that time. There hundreds of other ones. Main goal to climb as much as possible. Life is so short and the road is so long. We will face a lot of different stuff, even opportunities like huge acute angled ladders and spiral stairs. And even on the peak of our success we won't need any step or ladder. Cause it will not provide us with the dynamical impact, we require. We will jump from wooden and stone stairs and golden elevators will catch our souls. We will fly. We will go to the distance.

But how can we step up against these infinite steps? Actually there is no clear and common way. Each of us has distinguished footsize and footprint. Each wears special shoes. Each has own walk, weight and speed. We all have recognizable plans for climbing to the peak of our life mountain. All people have the sense of conquest in the bottom of their hearts. And this sense of conquest one of the basic providers of enterprise to achieve the peaks. But how do we know, what is our special sense of conquest?

For me, this sense is joy of succesfully completed work or mission. When finish something till its deadline or when i finish something i am filled with some kind of invisible energy and i do become invinsible. Something starts to rock inside me. May be this think is called proud, may be arrogance. No matter what is, main point is what do we feel when it takes place. You know, sometimes I think, most of people who are unhappy and oftenly get hurt aren't capable of climping till the peak of mountain. They are just convinced themselves to the illusion of dissappointment. They are scared of climping steps, they have Claustrophobia on elevators. The idea "if I do so and fail, I ll lose it forever" prevents us climbing stairs. Don't be afraid of losing one step. It won't huge impact as you think. It is just a step, but you are the human. Greatest creature in entire universe that is known till this date. You are the creature who served to called as "Icon" "Leader" "Legend" and so on and We do not have to be afraid because of couple of steps. Because our ladder of life is unlimited.

And our abilities are unlimited as well the borders of our universe.

P.S: today I finished my second novel and that was a huge step on the way to the peak of my mountain and I decided to share this expirience with you. Hope you enjoy it as well I did.

Best, Farid

Life is great as always

Sometimes we are walking on the shore of sea and dreaming of everything. Sometimes even of one, unique thing. Or do we? Do we actually dream of anything actual that values anthing to ourself? If we don't, then we are ignoring our existence. What if it is just wasting of time, but nothing else? What if UTOPIA we are searching for is here so far? May be this paradise doesn't require to be founded, but wants to be discovered. There is a possibility we are in heaven so far or in hell. It makes nonsense if our presence doesn't affect anything. If there are some failures, then there have to be some successes in order to notice this failures. Our dreams can get hurt, but if they do not recover what the hell do we need them?

We must pursuit happiness, we are obliged to fail as to get victory. It is our nature. Everything is possible in our nature. It has no limits, barrells or constraints. We can even give up and lose our hope. OUR fate. But in my opinion our abbilities are illimitable as our nature and we can reachieve them we can refind Hope we can refind Peace. Point is Wrestling with life. The match will never finish. The match that will never reveal winner. The match which is our LIFE.

P.S: that is my first blog post. I hope i did something useful for someone or at least for something. Honestly, my intentions were good.

Best, Joe Fred.

ZAMANIN GÖZ YAŞLARI

2107... Bizdən çox uzaqda görünən bir gələcək. Çox fərqli bir mühitdə, qeyri-adi texnologiyaların mövcud olduğu bir dövr. Tək oxşarlıq isə insanların yenə də öz çirkin əməllərindən geri çəkilməmələridir. Məhz buna görə də insanlıq bəşəriyyətin sonunun astanasındadır.

Bu böyük təhlükənin isə qarşısını yalnız bir nəfər ala bilər. Yalnız bu şəxs insanlığın ümid işığı ola bilər. Planetimizin tək ümidi olan Fred Cekson adlı bir gəncin zamana qarşı amansız mübarizəsi. Bu çətin tapşırığın öhdəsindən gəlməyə çalışarkən Fred Cekson daha hansı sürprizlərlə üzləşəcəyindən xəbərsizdir. Çünki hər şey düşündüyündən daha dərin və gözlənilməzdir...Nyu-Yorkdan Marsel küçələrinə, Monakodan Sinqapura qədər uzanan nəfəs kəsən bir macəra. Vaxt irəliləyir. Keçən hər saniyə zamanın göz yaşlarıdır...
