Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Platypuschow Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford play a young couple who shortly after the attack on New York (Avengers 2012) come across an alien weapon. They proceed to use this to rob banks but Shield is on their tale.Featuring a couple of semi-recurring characters from the television series Agents Of Shield (2013) this well cast little 8 minutes is fun enough but you need to go in remembering these things aren't exactly stories.They are more like scenes ripped out of films, thankfully usually pretty passable ones.The fact this fits in so well with the Marvel universes continuity really helps as does Caplan, Bradford and the two Shield agents.Passable stuff that can be used as filler inbetween actual feature films.The Good:Great soundtrackLizzy CaplanAgents Of Shield cast membersThe Bad:Really not much to itThings I Learnt From This Movie:An assistant who cannot make coffee should be fired on the spotAfter last seeing Caplan in True Blood I almost didn't recognise her clothed
henric-andersson At first I thought this was just another "ride the hype" after The Avengers production but gladly I was mistaken. The story is tight and the runtime 12 min, but I learned today that short is not always a bad thing. The effects are cool and rates high, the acting is really good and the diversity between the persona's of the actors works in harmony. What can I say except it made my cup of coffee in the morning taste a lot better.The only problem is how to fill 10 lines of review of a short very good movie, when there literally ain't nothing to complain about.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This 11-minute short films is a decent little spin off from 2012's highest grossing movie, The Avengers. It's by no means bad or great, but tells us a nice little side-story about a couple (I thought the guy looked pretty similar to Colin Farrell) robbing banks with an incredibly fancy shotgun.The two don't seem really evil or sinister, just disappointed one time too many and consequently drifted into crime. The agent at the hunt for the gun manages to confront the couple at a hotel, tricks them with the help of some noisy bass music and finally arrests the two after a short shootout. However, he seems to share my interpretation of Marvel's Bonnie and Clyde motivations, so he shows some heart, gets them decent clothing and employs the two as government agents. There's more of these one-shot short films and watching them makes a good enough way of bridging the time gap till the next superhero from the Avengers bunch lands in our cinemas.
Michiel Bijl This is a nice bonus to the film The Avengers (2012). It shows a couple—Claire and Benny— robbing banks with a piece of alien technology that they've recovered from the NewYork battle site. Eventually we see them in a motel room with a load of money. Their neighbor stars playing music really loud. Benny goes out to investigate, but doesn't return…I actually thought it was a preview for a new Marvel film and got quite excited by the idea. My hopes were shot down when I found it was just a short video. Alas, there's nothing else to do than wait for The Avengers 2.It has some clever moments and is really worth a viewing.
