復仇者聯盟3：無限之戰 Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

電影名稱：復仇者聯盟3：無限之戰 Avengers: Infinity War
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：25 April 2018
觀看日期：29 April 2018
片長：149 Minutes
導演：Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
演員：Josh Brolin

觀後感：
地球人口迅速增長消耗有限的資源，妄顧文明發展對居住地所造成的破壞及傷害，現在大自然利用其巨大的力量向我們報復，後知後覺的我們已沒法挽回劣勢。很多以上述題材為切入點的電影都會著重於自然威力的影響，讓觀眾預視世界各地將會發生的情況；這一集出現的「救世者」為了地球的持續，決定狠心地把一半人口隨機消失，到底是替人類向大自然贖罪，還是加深對世界的破壞？Thanos(Josh Brolin飾)開始獵取能量石的旅程，Banner(Mark Ruffalo飾)、Strange(Benedict Cumberbatch飾)、Stark(Robert Downey Jr.飾)和Parker(Tom Holland飾)聯手抵抗敵人奪得時間石；Maximoff(Elizabeth Olsen飾)和Vision(Paul Bettany飾)也受到敵軍的追擊，Romanoff(Scarlett Johansson飾)、Wilson(Anthony Mackie飾)和James Rhodes(Don Cheadle飾)出手相助，Rogers(Chris Evans飾)提議眾人前往Wakanda尋求協助。銀河守護隊拾回Thor(Chris Hemsworth飾)的性命，兵分兩路制衡Thanos的力量：Thor鑄造一件武器殺死Thanos，Gamora(Zoe Saldaña飾)則盡力阻止父親的計劃，最後她成為戰爭的犧牲品。Thanos跟守護隊、Stark等人對戰後取得5顆能量石，坦白此舉只是保護被人口過多而摧殘的宇宙。Barnes(Sebastian Stan飾)和T'Challa(Chadwick Boseman飾)加入Wakanda的復仇者們，奮力阻止Thanos取得最後1粒能量石。Thor卻未能在最後關頭使出致命一擊，Thanos成功激活無限手套消滅一半人口，結局也將會在下一集自有分曉。

Josh Brolin是一名美國男演員，他在事業上的進步源自於自我檢討的動作，然後努力不懈地訓練需要改善的地方。他的角色大多數是演技的考驗，不過他不會刻意賣弄精彩的表現，這種默默耕耘的性格深受同業的尊重，代表作有The Goonies、Milk及Inherent Vice。這不是他第一次的奸角演出，以往的形象是殺人不眨眼的冷酷殺手，跟這個角色人性化的一面有很大的反差，讓觀眾對他所堅持的理論有所理解。筆者從未有想過這系列的反派可以滲透感性的部分，即使他是單刀直入進行侵略，他心底裡也是有後悔及猶豫；他在演繹角色中不同面貌上的功架很好，擺脫了傳統反派的表演方法，豐富了電影故事的內容。他的下一部推介是Sicario: Day of the Soldado，電影為Sicario的續集，欠缺Emily Blunt的演出對筆者來說是沒有號召力，他的演出應該不會有太大的問題，同時也沒有任何新的突破。

漫威電影系列已不是第一次介紹，今集屬於大雜燴式的正反之戰，而結果是英雄竟然輸掉了，還要以眾敵寡地落敗。當然製片商抓住了觀眾的追看心態，所以故意將結局篇一分為二，答案即將於明年揭曉。電影的各位演員沒有太多的個人時間，因此不會有角色突圍而出，反而他們合作的力量更有觀影效果，筆者也有一點捨不得即將離開的演員們。今集的視效及音效沒有預期中的更上一層樓，反而對峙的場面變得更緊張刺激，最後消失的場景成功製造話題，全球觀眾十分期待故事在現階段會怎樣完結。很多人會質疑自己的力量過份微小，根本不能改變甚麼現實；筆者覺得這些統統都是不願意的借口，雖然地球正被逐漸破壞中，我們也可以盡能力愛惜自己的居所，實現一切的不可能。

雷神奇俠3：諸神黃昏 Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

電影名稱：雷神奇俠3：諸神黃昏 Thor: Ragnarok
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：26 October 2017
觀看日期：29 October 2017
片長：130 Minutes
導演：Taika Waititi
演員：Chris Hemsworth

觀後感：
除了看影視作品及聽音樂外，筆者也很喜歡玩手機遊戲，不過口味跟一般大眾有所不同；近日有兩隻遊戲讓筆者重新提起興趣，第一隻是讓玩家變身為精靈訓練員的Pokemon Go，更新後加入了很多元素，很適合幾位朋友一起去玩；另一隻是Marvel系列的Future Fight，遊戲讓玩家收集漫畫世界中的所有角色進行各式各樣的對戰，此系列的粉絲們(包括筆者在內)一定不能錯過這個畫面及劇情都很不錯的遊戲。電影是其角色系列的第三集，有新角色的加入去演繹出漫畫的情節，也離不開邪不能勝正的根本。找不到無限之石的Thor(Chris Hemsworth飾)被火魔Surtur囚禁，Surtur告知當初預料的諸神黃昏即將摧毀Thor的家鄉Asgard，Thor後來擊敗了Surtur並奪取他的皇冠，以為成功阻止了諸神黃昏的來臨。Thor和弟弟Loki(Tom Hiddleston飾)在地球找到了瀕死的父親，他們的姐姐Hela(Cate Blanchett飾)在父親死後破解封解重現世界，野心勃勃的她重奪Asgard的管治權，並任命隸屬前朝的Skurge(Karl Urban飾)為執行官。在Hela大力擴展版圖的同時，Heimdall(Idris Elba飾)暗中和其他子民躲避Hela的追蹤。Thor和Loki來到已荒廢的行星Sakaar，他們成為Grandmaster(Jeff Goldblum飾)的戰士，在逗留期間重遇Hulk(Mark Ruffalo飾)及認識了患有創傷後遺症的Valkyrie(Tessa Thompson飾)，眾人決定回到Asgard擊敗Hela。雙方在激戰中各不相讓，雖然得到Skurge的臨時變節救回子民，Thor的團隊仍然處於下風；最後Thor決定以皇冠召喚Surtur，帶來的諸神黃昏終於將Hela消滅。被擁護為國王的Thor帶著子民到地球暫居，最後被一艘巨大的太空船阻止前進，故事延續至Avengers系列的最新一集。

Chris Hemsworth是一名澳洲男演員，他的哥哥Luke和弟弟Liam也是同業，不過事業的發展沒有他那麼好；起初他在澳洲的電視圈打拼，後來到了美國尋找適合自己的機會，在2011年遇上Thor這個角色後打出名堂，代表作有Star Trek系列、Avengers系列及Ghostbusters。他是Marvel世界中力量較強的英雄人物，有過於常人的智慧及能力，在團隊中屬於主導的角色；雖然他不是第一次飾演這位英雄人物，不過他在每一集的成長觀眾是有目共睹的，無論是角色抑或演員本身都經歷了不少，他將日漸成熟的演技放進這個飽歷滄桑的角色中是很貼切的。他的下一部推介是Bad Times at the El Royale，每個人總有著不可告人的秘密，究竟到了哪裡這些秘密才不用再被保守，電影以懸疑手法探討這個深奧的問題，筆者希望他可以將自己的好在不同的片種盡情發揮，相信他終有一天會獲得更多的認同。

電影針對個別角色的故事延續劇情，雖然原則上都是英雄和惡魔的對戰，不過對年青的觀眾群來說系列的吸引力大於一切；筆者沒有想過Loki會願意踏上正義的路途，Hela又會不顧親情誓要稱霸世界，Hulk和Thor更不留情面地互相對戰，這些都是內容上較突出的地方。主要演員們在處理角色時有很強的連續性，觀眾也很享受陪伴著他們多年來的成長；新加入的Cate Blanchett繼灰姑娘的後母再度挑戰反派角色入型入格，她的表現仍然保持那份水準及力度。電腦特效在這系列的電影一直進步，視覺上一次比一次精彩，有過之而無不及之妙；服裝設計也是有所突破，Hela的造型設計十分細緻，襯托出角色的懾人氣勢。筆者在遊戲中可以選三個角色組隊對戰，Hela每次都會是隊長的首選，她的能力跟電影中所呈現的差不多，可惜的是她誤入歧途自毀性命，浪費掉這樣強大的能力。

片長：129 Minutes
導演：Jon M. Chu
演員：Daniel Radcliffe, Lizzy Caplan

觀後感：
人總是有著無窮無盡的求知慾，當我們成功獲取新的資訊後，便會以為自己可以控制大局，不過這個世界實在太大了，假如事無大小都與我們有關的話，相信我們不會有時間去享受自己應有的生活。筆者進入社會後工作了一段不算長的時間，亦明白到每個人的性格截然不同，有一種人總愛糾纏於身邊其他人的生活，認為得知別人的資訊後會較為優越，坦白說筆者也蠻討厭這種行為，可能是筆者的求知本能沒有很強吧，總是覺得這種人有點多管閒事，借關心之名以滿足自己為實，筆者也盡量避免跟這類人有太頻密的無謂接觸。電影幾乎是一個全新的故事，除了讓觀眾有機會再次欣賞精彩的新「魔法」外，還告訴我們不要把自己看得太聰明，因為這種過份的自信最終害到的只有自己。故事發生在上一集的一年半後，FBI探員Dylan Rhodes(Mark Ruffalo飾)與四騎士成員J. Daniel Atlas(Jesse Eisenberg飾)、Merritt McKinney(Woody Harrelson飾)及Jack Wilder(Dave Franco飾)再度合作揭穿商業黑幕，並招攬Lula May(Lizzy Caplan飾)成為新的女成員。他們的真實身份被識破，四騎士逃走至澳門被Walter Mabry(Daniel Radcliffe飾)挾持，在不情願下答應協助Mabry偷取晶片。他們暗早通知The Eye總部有關訊息，而Rhodes在走投無路下向正在坐牢的魔術師Thaddeus Bradley(Morgan Freeman飾)尋求幫助。Mabry找到了Rhodes的蹤影，並透露自己是Arthur Tressler(Michael Caine飾)的兒子，Rhodes被放進夾萬後被投入水中，四騎士成功把他救出，並發現他們偷到的晶片是假的。在除夕的倫敦，Tressler和Mabry將Rhodes一等人抓進私人飛機，他們的惡行在Rhodes等人的設計下公告天下。最後眾人到了The Eye在格林威治的總部，發現之前遇到的人都屬於同一組織，Rhodes也被提議接任組織的領導。

Daniel Radcliffe是一名英國的男演員，就是他在11歲時的一個機會，讓他進入演藝圈，他也在完成了Harry Potter後才正式發其演藝事業；他成名後專心於舞台劇及電影的演出，也利用自己的影響力去貢獻社會，是一位電影界的人才；他近年的代表作有What If、Horns及Swiss Army Man。他一直不能擺脫「哈利仔」的形象，即使系列結束已有一段時間，他在電影的演出仍然有著那個代表角色的味道，筆者相信他不想給人這樣子去定型，不過這應該要再隔久一點才會有效果；他在電影的反派演出給予觀眾新鮮的感覺，不過由於角色上發揮所限，未能看到他的演技是否有很大的進步。他的下一部推介是Jungle，故事講述一班年青人到玻利維亞的森林探險的遭遇，雖然電影的情節刺激，不過評價則好壞參半，算是一部不錯的消閒電影。Lizzy Caplan是一名美國女演員，她遊走於電影及電視兩個界別，多年來也有一些令人留下深刻印象的演出，代表作有Mean Girls、Cloverfield及127 Hours。她為電影系列注入不少新鮮感，觀眾可以看到她喜感十足的表現；雖然筆者較喜歡Isla Fisher，不過這位演員在電影中也有不錯的演出，仍然可以維持和其他演員的火花，提升電影的娛樂性。她的下一部推介是Extinction，電影關於一家人遇上災難後，逃離危險並成功保命的故事，這類電影應該會有不少人支持的。

電影雖算得上是一部續集，但由於選角的變更及故事並無很強的連貫性，即使錯過上一集也沒有所謂。原創的故事並不算是很有創意，邪不能勝正都是系列的方程式，而當中的魔術/電腦特效則引人入勝，成為電影最大的賣點。演員們的合作很精彩，今集更加入不少熟悉的面孔，華人演員的代表周杰倫也有不少戲份，整體而言不過不失。電影利用效果吸引觀眾，但筆者覺得此系列也是不能逃出續集魔咒，第一集的水準比起這一集是好一點的。正如筆者文章開首所言，我們的生活很多時候會被一些無所事事的人所關注，他們也會找機會對我們作出傷害或攻擊，這些舉動對他們並沒有些微的好處，但是他們對於嘲弄到別人會很滿足，所以我們要學會保護自己，避免讓人有機可乘。

自從香港有了免費報紙的出現後，傳統的收費紙媒的業績受了很大的打擊；加上現在的讀者都喜歡在網上看新聞，傳統紙媒在市場的佔有率越來越少，而且少不免會有加價壓力。對筆者而言，免費報紙的出現是一件好事，原因是筆者開始會有每天看報紙的習慣，而且免費報紙所涵蓋的內容大多數是在社會上引起更大迴響的新聞，傳統紙媒的價值在讀者的眼中再次受到嚴峻的挑戰。電影所講的故事並不是關於傳統紙媒的沒落，而是記述記者們如何排除萬難報導真相的過程。電影的開端已經交代報導的主題為天主教神父孌童而避過刑罰的狀況，報社The Boston Globe有一隊伍Spotlight，專門發佈調查案件的報導，隊員包括總編輯Walter Robinson(Michael Keaton飾)、編輯Marty Baron(Liev Schreiber飾)、記者Michael Rezendes(Mark Ruffalo飾)和Sacha Pfeiffer(Rachel McAdams飾)等。他們在調查的期間與受害人的律師會面，然後他們聯絡到受害人權益小組Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP)，得知神父侵犯兒童的情況是地區性的，最後他們在證據得到支持的情況下出版報導，報導引起社會大眾的關注，引致全球更多地方的同類事件被揭發，而一直知情的主教並沒有受到法律的制裁。

Mark Ruffalo是一名美國的男演員，他多年的演戲經驗令他在近年的演出得到很大的迴響，原因是他終於讓觀眾可以看到他精彩的演技；而他在七年前也嘗試過當導演的滋味，他的作品有Begin Again、Infinitely Polar Bear及Foxcatcher。在電影中我們可以看到他是如何用自己的演技去說服觀眾的，他的角色是一名混血的記者，而在演繹的時候是能聽得出他在角色的口音上花了功夫；很多頒獎禮博客都覺得他終有一天會拿到小金人的，筆者也看好他能達成這個目標。他暫時參與兩齣Marvel系列電影的拍攝工作，所有戲迷都知道他的角色是綠巨人浩克，希望他能盡快給觀眾看到他高水準的演出。Rachel McAdams是一名加拿大的女演員，她大概在六七年前開始提升人氣，慼著不錯的樣貌及表現，她參演過很多商業型的電影，近年則以參演劇情類電影為主，作品包括A Most Wanted Man、Aloha及Southpaw。在電影中她的演出並不是說很突出，事實上Michael Keaton比她出色很多，不過在男演員中只有她一位女角色，而且發揮不是花瓶類型，她的提名也算是來得合理；筆者很欣賞她選擇演出劇情片以訓練演技，只是她到現在還是差沒有一部代表作品。她的下一部推介是Disobedience，電影是她和Rachel Weisz的演技角力，筆者期待這部影片可以成為她被人讚譽的表演。

電影是2013年Black List的未製成作品，雖然電影探討的問題是比較敏感，卻得到不少影評人的高度評價，除了電影的本質外，可能是故事的發展是比較反映到現實的情況。電影的演員們表現不錯，他們是整個戲劇張力的來源，不過筆者覺得有任何一個演員是比較特別的。電影維持最基本的技巧，很原始地將故事的情節發展呈現在觀眾的眼前，真正做到少就是美的原則。筆者在前面所講的只是一些感受的抒發，如果我們用心去閱讀紙媒的產品，我們會發現很多特別及有趣的地方；筆者覺得紙媒是一個讓我們細味的必需品，只怪現代的都市人都沒有很多的時間去發掘一些美好的事物，所以才會過份依賴科技的方便。

獵狐捕手 Foxcatcher (2014)

電影名稱：獵狐捕手 Foxcatcher
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：5 March 2015
觀看日期：10 March 2015
片長：134 Minutes
導演：Bennett Miller
演員：Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo

影評：
美國總統選舉在上星期正式結束，Donald Trump即將成為下一任美國總統，Hilary Clinton入主白宮的夢想再度失落，不少美國民眾都不想接受這樣的選舉結果，但某程度上這個是傳媒導致的，原因在於大家收到的訊息都是有關Donald Trump的負面報導，而且民意調查並沒有全面的涵蓋所有階層的美國人，才會讓人以為她是大熱倒灶。美國人現在的民族意識較強，並渴望經濟上會有正面的改變，所以結果其實也是有根據的。電影講述一位運動員的經理人如何運用自己所有的去得到他要的名利，感覺上跟當初Donald Trump給人的印象差不多(因他說過如果他輸掉選舉，他是不會接受結果的)。慈善家John E. du Pont(Steve Carell飾)對摔跤非常有興趣(但他並沒有摔跤的專業知識)，打算邀請奧運金牌選手Mark Schultz(Channing Tatum飾)和Dave Schultz(Mark Ruffalo飾)兩兄弟加入他的團隊Foxcatcher，由於Dave因家庭的顧慮而推卻，Mark獨自遷入John在賓夕法尼亞州的大本營。John和Mark在比賽的成功下變成朋友，並導致Mark產生濫藥問題，他更用盡手段將Dave納入團隊。Mark輸掉第一場奧運預賽，Dave很努力地協助Mark進入奧運代表隊，最後空手而回的Mark退出Foxcatcher。John自資製作有關Foxcatcher的紀錄片，Dave答應他的要求，條件是John需要繼續經濟上支持Mark。John看過紀錄片後，因不滿Dave在片中的坦白而槍殺他，後來被警方拘捕；Mark則繼續投入摔跤運動。

Steve Carell是美國演藝圈的搞笑代表，他非常擅長演出喜劇類角色，近年他的表演有不同的方向，而他的演技也得到外間的認可，代表作有Crazy, Stupid, Love、Hope Springs及The Way, Way Back。他在電影的演出給觀眾一種耳目一新的感覺，我們從未看過他飾演奸角，而且角色的複雜度更突顯他精彩的演繹，是2014年度裡最佳演出之一。他的下一部推介是Battle of the Sexes，他在這部運動喜劇的對手是Emma Stone，電影的期待度是不錯的。Channing Tatum是一位美國演員，他在入行前曾是一名脫衣舞男，外型陽剛的他很快成名，拍攝了不少商業電影及小品製作，包括Step Up系列、G.I. Joe系列及Magic Mike。他在電影的演出有很大的進步，跟他以往較商業化的演出不一樣，可以看到他作為演員的潛質。他的下一部推介是Logan Lucky，這是一部由Steven Soderbergh執導的喜劇，這些經驗對他出任製作人有很大的幫助。Mark Ruffalo是一名美國資深演員，他起初主要演出科幻片、恐怖片及愛情喜劇，到這幾年他得到更好的角色，得到不少提名及獎項，成為炙手可熱的演員，作品有The Kids Are All Right、Shutter Island及Now You See Me系列。他在電影的演出算是他從影以來的代表作，我們可以從他的演出當中看到他對待角色的認真程度，我看好他終有一天會得到Academy Award。他的下一部推介是Thor: Ragnarök，這是Marvel復仇者聯盟系列角色Thor的第三集外傳，不少電影紅星因這系列電影而走紅或變得更紅，配合系列的追看性，誓必掀起英雄熱潮。

電影是根據歷史事蹟編寫而成的，故事刻畫出John E. du Pont的企圖心，亦突顯該年代有錢人是非常極度野蠻跋扈，此風氣更波及到運動界。電影的三位主要演員的合作得到高度評價，其演出都是三人目前在各自的演藝生涯上最好的演出。電影盡量還原故事發生的主題背景，有助塑造主要角色的個性。本港近期宣誓風波被廣泛討論，兩位候任議員宣誓時使用一些令人反感的字句，隨時喪失議員資格，我不想作太多的個人評論，我的看法是：立法會其實是需要各種不同的聲音，在選舉到宣誓到上任，無論建制泛民自決派都有做得不對的地方，凡事適可而止，尊重香港不同階層的市民，更要尊重廉潔的選舉制度，這樣子才是真正造福香港的大原則。

非常盜 Now You See Me (2013)

電影名稱：非常盜 Now You See Me
產地：法國 FRA 美國 USA
上映日期：13 June 2013
觀看日期：15 June 2013
片長：115 Minutes
導演：Louis Leterrier
演出：Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco

影評：
魔術師是像謎一樣的職業，吸引力比起懂廚藝和彈奏樂器的男生更高。近年由於電視節目的製作觀眾對魔術有更進一步的了解，而且這是沒有地域界限的。本人對這些電視節目沒有很大的興趣，但不知怎地對這齣關於魔術的電影著迷，可能是哈利波特效應及電影大幅度的市場營銷，令電影的可觀性大大提高。故事開始於"The Four Horsemen"的成立，四位有才華的魔術師Daniel(Jesse Eisenberg飾)、Henley(Isla Fisher飾)、Jack(Dave Franco飾)和Merritt(Woody Harrelson飾)被邀參與。他們經過一年訓練後在拉斯維加斯作第一次的公開表演，此次演出由保險界鉅子Arthur Tressler(Michael Caine飾)贊助，內容是打劫銀行。他們從觀眾席隨機選取一位出席者，把他帶到開設存款戶口的巴黎銀行，然後把保險庫所有金錢在表演場地造了一場「鈔票雨」。巴黎銀行的失竊案交由FBI探員Dylan(Mark Ruffalo飾)和拍檔Alma(Mélanie Laurent飾)負責，他們不能從四人組合得知線索，最後和以揭示他人魔術背後技倆賺錢的Thaddeus(Morgan Freeman飾)合作找出破綻。"The Four Horsemen"第二場表演把Tressler銀行戶口的存款全數攤分給觀眾，Dylan在混亂中讓四人逃脫，Thaddeus受命把四人的把戲揭穿。Alma在分析案件時得知事件的幕後策劃人為"The Eye"，目標為了劫富濟貧，但這統統可能與多年前一個魔術師在施法時意外死亡有關。四人在逃走時事敗，Jack因此而喪生，其餘三人繼續原本計劃，偷走裝滿鈔票的夾萬。他們的最後表演把假鈔票散落在人群中，警方在Thaddeus的車尾找到失去的金錢，並認定Thaddeus是合謀把他拘捕。Dylan在獄中表示自己是當中的幫兇，並希望Thaddeus餘生都在牢獄中渡過。Dylan及後與"The Four Horsemen"重聚，歡迎他們加入"The Eye"，Dylan最後向Alma坦白自己的動機及身份。

Jesse Eisenberg很年輕便踏入演藝圈，一直至2005年的The Squid and the Whale才嶄露頭角。及後他參演不少的商業片如2009年的Adventureland及Zombieland，一年後更憑The Social Network飾演Facebook創辦人Mark Zuckerberg而獲得Academy Awards Best Actor的提名。他在電影的演出很有吸引力，他的驚人語速成為他的標誌，由於電影較不著重演技，所以看起來他的演出仍可接受。他的下一部推介是The Double，片中他飾演一個患有精神病的人，這類喜劇會令觀眾看得開懷大笑，不知道香港會否上映。Mark Ruffalo出道時期不算太長，但他的角色向來偏向戲劇演出，但當中沒有太多作品令人產生印象。他曾經以The Kids Are All Right提名Academy Awards Best Supporting Actress，也在商業片The Avengers飾演綠魔成名。他在電影的演出其實很精彩，整個故事由他負責帶動，在演技上的確已經很有味道，但表面層的商業味令他有點兒失色。他的下一部推介是Can A Song Save Your Life?，電影有悅耳的音樂，他的角色應該不是很重點的，但電影的吸引度不俗。Isla Fisher有很多演戲的經驗，但多年來都沒有得到很有發揮的角色。她的代表作有Wedding Crashers及Confessions of a Shopaholic。她的演出是電影中的中和之處，幾乎全電影沒有很多的女角，因此她表演得很突出，但她的角色某程度上可被男角色取代，所以她的演出可謂欠缺一些特色。她的下一部推介是電視劇Arrested Development Season 4，她是此季的主要演員，這部喜劇她應該有很好的發揮。Woody Harrelson是一名實力派演員，多年的演技生涯為他累積了不少佳績。The People vs. Larry Flynt及The Messenger為他帶來兩個演技的提名，去年的Game Change更證明他的演技。他的演出有點意外，我從沒想過他能夠很有趣地把角色演繹，這是一個演員的突破，遺憾發揮機會不多，否則可以得到更多讚賞。他的下一部推介是Out of Furnace，這又是一部大師級演繹之作，有興趣便自己追看。Dave Franco是影星James Franco的弟弟，近年有很多搶鏡的演出。21 Jump Street及Warm Bodies均是他的代表作。他在電影的演出同樣突出，他是樣子較英俊年紀較輕的類型，深受很多觀眾的歡迎，加上他的性取向不明，所以很容易吸納大批觀眾的支持。他的下一部推介是Neighbors，我個人很想一睹他的喜劇細胞，相信很快他便成為國際著名的影星。

電影的必要元素是視效及音效，這兩方面電影都處理得宜，導致電影的入場人數紀錄非常高，但不少人都對電影留下負面的評價，有的批評片中的魔術不夠好，劇情不夠精彩，但作為觀眾的我們也要站在製作人的立場作出思考，商業片並沒有很強的訊息，但在執行方面卻很在意，我認為電影已做到了它最好的程度，所以我很期待它的續集。現在的觀眾以為自己很明白看電影，在電影上的每一部分都嘗試找出瘕疵，但電影是一種藝術形的消遣，我們應該抱著輕鬆的心態用心感受電影帶給我們的意義。

Shutter Island---不赦島"近期難得一見的佳作"

在未睇呢套電影之前，我見到在一些電影網頁，把《Shutter Island》標記為恐怖類別，開頭都有少少驚，但係睇落就開始慢慢適應，我覺得呢套戲極其量都只可以係偵探懸疑片類，而不是所謂的恐怖戲，而最後個結果都幾出人意表，因此不少的觀眾都很欣賞其故事情節及人物塑造，可惜既係在今屆的Academy Awards，呢套戲一個提名都冇，有少少失左預算。事實上呢套電影的主要演員，不輪係演技及角色的合適度，都比大部分的電影優勝。Leonardo DiCaprio自從一齣《Titanic》一鳴驚人之後，片約接踵而來，先後候選過兩次金像影帝，雖然他外形愈冇看頭，但佢的演技則隨著年齡的增長而提升，可算是值得慶幸的。至於Mark Ruffalo，佢做戲一向都平實不搶風頭，在我之前看過的兩套作品入面，佢都唔係十分突出，在今次的電影，佢亦唔係擔正，但都演得恰如其份，可謂「比上不足，比下有餘」，佢亦都在今屆Academy Awards入面憑著《The Kids Are All Right》候選最佳男配角，相信佢既實力總是有的。反而今次我冇乜野在呢part講，因為我覺得整體上給予我的感覺頗好，劇情環環相扣，角色發揮不俗，希望日後會有更多做到呢d條件的戲。評分：

Just Like Heaven---天國可人兒"都真係幾搞笑"

呢套戲其實係Reese Witherspoonq在拿完奧斯卡影后之後上既第一齣戲，同《Walk The Line》唔同，佢唔再飾演一d咁文藝又多感情戲既角色，今次佢挑戰喜劇，佢在演技史上，最主要既作品都只係得《Walk The Line》，呢種既喜劇片都應該會幾唔錯。老實講，Reese Witherspoon都唔係咁擅長演出喜劇，不過我喜歡佢俾觀眾既感覺，收歛得黎又有少少大膽。至於Mark Ruffalo，我都睇左兩部佢做既戲《Blindness》同埋《The Brother Bloom》，佢在呢部戲既形象直情同上面兩部截然不同，型好多同埋有多少少觀眾緣。成套戲最主要搞笑既地方係要靠配角帶出，而收尾亦略嫌倉卒，有少少無足夠地方吸引觀眾之嫌，不過在一個開心輕鬆既氣氛下，都幾唔錯。評分：

The Brothers Bloom---騙騙喜歡你"睇睇下都唔算差，學到d睇穿呃人既技巧"

睇完之後上imbd搵下套戲既資料，先知道呢部戲已經在2008年既美國上映左，雖然當時牽起既哄動不大，而套戲又拿到少少提名，但係我覺得成套戲著重於搞笑，反而愛情線唔會寫得太focus，最好既就係演員既配搭，三個外國有d名氣既演員們加上在《Babel》一脫成名既菊地凜子，睇起上黎真係唔覺得悶。有好多笑片，因為加左一d大cast入去，令到觀眾會因為演員先入場，睇完先發覺套戲本身就有說服力，呢個現象主要因為喜劇在觀眾心中既地位特殊，在好與差之間，所以非必要都唔會入戲院睇。好似呢部咁，影帝影后級人馬擔正，之前拿既時候，兩位都是靠文藝片或劇情片揚威Academy Awards，今次參與喜劇，再一次向觀眾證明自己既演技唔係局限於某一種類型既戲。菊地凜子今次轉型玩搞笑，我上外國網站都見到好多外國人意呢個崛起冇耐既演員，話佢夠kawaii喎，不過，作為一個專業既電影愛好者，我都覺得佢應該會在荷里活闖出自己既一片天，因為佢真係有d得人鍾意既感覺。評分：

Blindness---盲流感"一套人性化既佳作"

老實說，《盲流感》呢部戲卡士不大，演員成籮咁多，故事好似齋講一班盲人，聽落已經悶。但係睇戲唔淨係睇外表，其實難得有一套戲會從一件奇怪的事件，帶出人點樣繼續維繫佢地原本既生活，到了大難臨頭，有些人選擇趁火打劫，有些人卻選擇犧牲自己換來別人更好的待遇，點睇都有教育意義。

有別於Slumdog Millionaire既質素，雖則大家排場相近，但荷里活演員既任何方面都比初出茅廬既一眾小演員熟練。女主角Julianne Moore既演技無庸置疑，一個為照顧老公而冒險進入隔離中心既小女人，由個體發展到整體，照顧所有入住同一病區既病人，其精神值得一讚。另外，有幾位綠葉都唔錯，包括醫生Mark Ruffalo、妓女Alice Braga 等等。

原本以為《盲流感》係一部愛情片，後來探聽到佢係一部驚慄片，點知親身既經驗告訴我，呢部係一部同時顯露人性醜惡及善良既劇情片，希望戲中捨己為人、一起開心一起悲傷既情操能夠為現代人帶來強烈既共鳴、反思。
