ALEX CROSS<br />
Konvin/enti daqskemm kien Morgan Freeman<br />
Direzzjoni> Rob Cohen< {in> 101 minuta< ert> 18< KRS<br />
Il-karattru tad-ditektiv<br />
Alex Cross tfa//a fil-films<br />
15-il sena ilu interpretat tajjeb<br />
[afna minn Morgan<br />
Freeman, bl-a[[ar minn<br />
]ew; films, Along Came A<br />
Tiger [admu fl-2001, biex<br />
wara l-karattru donnu intesa.<br />
Kellha tkun il-kumpanija<br />
indipendenti QED<br />
International li, biex ng[idu<br />
hekk, irxuxtat il-karattru<br />
ma[luq minn James<br />
Patterson fil-kotba tieg[u u li<br />
hawn jag[milha wkoll ta’<br />
producer.<br />
Jidher, i]da, li Freeman<br />
[ass li kien anzjan wisq biex<br />
jer;a’ ja[dem il-parti, u<br />
hawn postu jie[du Tyler<br />
Perry, ftit li xejn mag[ruf<br />
g[ajr, forsi, g[all-parti li<br />
kellu tliet snin ilu fir-remake<br />
ta’ Star Trek<br />
Dan g[ax hu aktar [adem<br />
b[ala kittieb, re;ista u producer<br />
… jekk in[allu barra l-<br />
videos bil-karattru komiku<br />
tal-anzjana Mabel Simmons<br />
jew a[jar Madea, li jinterpreta<br />
u [oloq hu stess!<br />
Hu forsi g[alhekk li<br />
‘qabe]’ fuq l-opportunità li<br />
ja[dem xi [a;a differenti u<br />
dan jirnexxelu jag[mlu<br />
b’konvinzjoni daqs Morgan<br />
meta tqis il-limitazzjonijiet<br />
tal-iscript.<br />
Cross huwa ditektiv<br />
f’Detroit li j[addem [afna l-<br />
psikolo;ija fil-ka]i li jinvestiga<br />
flimkien mal-kollega<br />
tieg[u Tommy (Edward<br />
Burns), u l-pulizjotta<br />
]ag[]ug[a Monica (Rachel<br />
Nichols).<br />
Niltaqg[u mieg[u meta<br />
jsir jaf li kien se jsir missier<br />
g[at-tielet darba ming[and<br />
martu Maria (Carmen<br />
Ejogo), i]da l-fer[a ma tantx<br />
iddum g[ax f’nofs ta’ lejl<br />
i/empillu Tommy min[abba<br />
l-qtil ta’ bint industrjalist<br />
sinjurun.<br />
Il-qattiel ‘Picasso’<br />
(Matthew Fox), li fil-bidu<br />
tal-film insiru nafu li kien<br />
t[allas somma kbira biex<br />
joqtol, ma kienx<br />
sempli/iment joqtol lill-vittmi<br />
tieg[u, i]da jie[u gost jittorturahom.<br />
G[alhekk Cross<br />
jipprova jifhem l-istrate;ija<br />
li kien qed ju]a l-qattiel u<br />
janti/ipa dak li kien se<br />
jag[mel u min kien ‘imissu’<br />
fil-lista tal-vittmi tieg[u – u<br />
hawn fejn kultant il-film<br />
jin[ass esa;erat, fis-sens ta’<br />
far-fetched.<br />
Meta Cross u s[abu<br />
jirnexxilhom jisfrattawlu t-<br />
tieni delitt, dan jindanna u<br />
Id-ditektivs Cross (Tyler Perry) u Tommy (Edward Burns) jirrikorru g[al metodi vjolenti<br />
f’Alex Cross<br />
dik li sa dakinhar kienet<br />
‘log[ba’ tal-qattus u l-;urdien<br />
issir wa[da personali,<br />
hekk kif issa fil-mira ta’<br />
Picasso jispi//aw ukoll dawk<br />
qrib ta’ Cross.<br />
Fi/-/entru ta’ dan itthriller<br />
polizjesk naturalment<br />
hemm Cross li bih<br />
ried, u rnexxielu ja[dem xi<br />
[a;a aktar serja minn<br />
Madea, f’film li j]ommok<br />
sal-a[[ar fejn l-azzjoni<br />
ti]died, u g[andu jmur tajjeb<br />
fil-box office.<br />
PARENTAL GUIDANCE<br />
Kummiedja tajba b’koppja mill-aqwa<br />
Direzzjoni> Andy Finkman< {in> 105 minuti< ert. U< KRS<br />
Wie[ed mit-tfal ma jkunx irid joqg[od ma’ nannuh (Billy Crystal, xellug) u jibqa’ mqabbad<br />
m’ommu f’Parental Guidance<br />
Ma tg[addix sena li ma<br />
titfa//ax xi kummiedja dwar<br />
adulti li, kontra qalbhom<br />
ikollhom jie[du [sieb tfal.<br />
Ter;a’, din is-sena se nkunu<br />
qed naraw tnejn, g[ax kien fi<br />
Frar li f’Malta l-a[[ar rajna<br />
film simili,The Sitter, li kien<br />
kummiedja divertenti, i]da li<br />
dan li beda jintwera din il-<br />
;img[a hu aktar ‘realistiku’,<br />
minbarra divertenti.<br />
Barra minn hekk hawn<br />
g[andna ]ew; atturi<br />
mag[rufa li jiffurmaw koppja<br />
perfetta, [add g[ajr Billy<br />
Crystal u Bette Midler li<br />
hawn jidhru b[ala Artie u<br />
Diane, dan tal-a[[ar kummentatur<br />
anzjan tal-basebal li<br />
niltaqg[u mieg[u proprju<br />
meta, wara snin twal f’dan ixxog[ol,<br />
jing[ata s-sensja.<br />
F’dan i]-]mien xejn sabi[<br />
binthom (Marisa Tomei) titlobhom<br />
jie[du [sieb uliedha<br />
li rari jarawhom – il-kbira<br />
Harper (Bailee Madison) iffissata<br />
li ssir vjolinista<br />
famu]a, Turner (Joshua<br />
Rush) li jtemtem u vittma talbullying<br />
fl-iskola u Barker<br />
(Kark Harrison Breitkopf)<br />
imqareb ta’ [ames snin li<br />
jemmen li g[andu tfajjel<br />
[abib imma;inarju. Dan g[ax<br />
huma jkunu sejrin ;img[a<br />
business holiday hekk kif<br />
]ew;ha kiseb ukoll promozzjoni.<br />
Artie xejn ma jkun<br />
im[ajjar, imma l-pussessiva<br />
Diane i;;ieg[lu jmorru u l-<br />
ewwel problema tkun li d-dar<br />
mg[ammra bl-aktar sistema<br />
awtomatika kompjuterizzata<br />
avvanzata.<br />
Imma dan ma jkun xejn<br />
[dejn dak li jkollhom jaffrontaw<br />
biex jikkontrollaw u<br />
jikkuntentaw lit-tfal, imrobbija<br />
totalment differenti minn<br />
kif rabbew huma.<br />
Crystal jag[tina prova li<br />
g[adu kapa/i jwassal ilfamu]i<br />
one-liners bi qbil perfett<br />
kemm ma’ Midler kif<br />
ukoll mat-tfal. Imbag[ad,<br />
kontra dak li j;ieg[lek ta[seb<br />
it-trailer li ftit li xejn jipprometti,<br />
Parental Guidance<br />
g[andu numru mhux [a]in ta’<br />
sitwazzjonijiet komi/i tajbin,<br />
anki fi]i/i.<br />
Ba]ikament, però, din hija<br />
dik li tissejja[ old-fashioned<br />
family <strong>com</strong>edy grazzi g[al<br />
script addattat li jwasslek titqanqal<br />
mill-finali emozzjonanti.<br />
Filwaqt li w[ud jistg[u<br />
iqisuh sentimentali ]]ejjed,<br />
i/-/ajt rari jonqos. Problema<br />
li jista’ jkollu l-film mag[na<br />
l-Maltin, anzi mal-Ewropej,<br />
hi li jistennik taqsam l-istess<br />
entu]ja]mu g[al baseball ta’<br />
Artie u l-Amerikani, spe/jalment<br />
fil-finali, meta dan l-<br />
isport qajla hu popolari fostna.<br />
