As described in the movie time Frank came after a long otsidki, which came thanks to the gracious, although several police nebeskorystnoy assistance of some of its competitors – latinosov.

But even as a child, learning at a very high school Adovoy kitchens of New York, Frank remembered and loved song “Without Friends me a little bit, and with friends – a lot.” And in such a case, as Frank, is not without friends do. Therefore, Frank has its loyal friends with whom it is so much that, before landing White called the King of New York, as he oversaw much of the drug trade in this glorious city.

At the head of a gang of friends is Jimmy Dzhamp Frank (Lawrence Clarkson) – Turretless Negro habits with this huge tsepakom bandyugana and on the neck. Jimmy – born killers. He soak some goat – as Frank order soak any goat. As a result, by the time soskoka Jimmy White with grants from youngster taught dear boss a gift: they are Romanian and one Colombian narkobarona took him a couple of lemons, so that Frank will be on again lads.

But Frank – it is very strange guy. Despite the fact that he – the currently bandits and murderers, he is not alien to certain moral principles. Frank grew up in New York among all the poor and sheluponi, and he, despite his dashing okrutevanie, continues to care for the poor and sheluponi.

Frank wants to build a hospital for the poor. This requires very solid money – fifteen million dollars. Just for those earning money – rather difficult even for drugs, so Frank thinking different plans, which it will select just kind of money – of course, only to the really bad guys, because White – in his own character. Himself a bad guy, he does not believe – well, as the same, because it robs the rich and svolochnyh, and pays the poor and squalid.

Shaika Frank is not particularly supports this approach, but as they receive their rightful share and its rightful portion of the cocaine he once on the fig, which in the free time to go mind their boss.

Police in the person of Chief Superintendent Roy Bishop (Victor Argo) of commonly available and Dennis Gill (David Caruso) and Thomas Flanigana (Wesley Snayps) also as something of Fig than Frank is in free time. But they do not like White ago under the guise of his “work”. But Bishopu and his guys extremely difficult prischuchit Frank – he and his time of commonly available all go dry from the water thanks to the able lawyer acting White and solid monetary collateral. Bishop is eager Campaigner, all hopes hook King of New York lawful methods, and the young and hot and Jilli Flanigana patience has ended, and they were going to kill Frank in his own way. So it will be a lot of blood. A lot of blood.

Quite an old film, shot splashes eighteen years ago, but his first time, I just looked up and was pleasantly surprised that the picture now looks quite decently. What’s interesting, in some kinomanov considered a classic picture of the criminal genre. I would not call it classic, but the film is bright, and certainly worthy of review.

Abel Ferrara is considered an independent director and basically eliminates author’s low-budget film plus series. (Incidentally, he made the famous serial of hand “Police Miami. Division mores.”) Nevertheless, his works have a few actually meynstrimovyh movies, and “King of New York” was just the first of them. Despite a bit of decent and well-known actors now, the budget picture was a fairly modest. However, it is not surprising, because in 1990 Christopher Walken probavlyalsya mostly sporadic small roles, Lawrence Fishbernu was still far from “Matrix”, and Wesley Snaypsu – to “Blade.” And David Caruso, unlike some of his colleagues, both in episodic roles and stayed, and, in general, and then somewhere in splyl television.

The “King of New York” virtually no road chase, not very large number of shootings (though those that have withdrawn with a high level of reliability), and I would mention this film to Drams more than a criminal militants. For Ferrari importantly – create an atmosphere of the criminal New York those times, especially poizuchat psychological crime and the police, and, in my view, it is quite possible.

Almost all the characters in the film – and not very bright flat. Frank White, brilliantly played by Christopher Uokenom – most bizarre and controversial of all the heroes of the film. Yes, Bandit, yes, a killer, yes, otmorozok perfect, but has a very atypical for the chief’s gang moral principles. Linne perverted Robin Hood – only burglarized the same mafia, as he himself, but actually spends the money to charity. Bandit and philanthropist at the same time, with no pokazushny philanthropist, namely on the dictates of his soul.

White, and relies narkobaronu, appear everywhere with two devkami impressive, but he had a very tender and romantic relationship with a lawyer Jennifer (Janet Julian). His promises to close the steel glance death – while Frank may burst out laughing and soul of wacky, and it does not look ridiculous. He may not put in money and human lives by killing other thugs, offend even primitive criminal “concepts” – but not generally spared million, in order to extricate Jimmy from prison.

Lawrence Clarkson in the movie also worthy to see him in such a role. Paltsaty and even slightly caricature bandyugan with huge golden tsepakom on the neck, and zamashkami-style conversation gansta rapper, firing earlier than thought – such Fishberna upomnyu I am not in any other film. Noble role came out, very fun. And, interestingly, Fishberna Ferrara initially took on the role of black police Flanigana Thomas, but nor is requested permission to play Jimmy, and after several samples Ferrara did concurred.

Wesley Snayps and David Caruso, compared with bandits looked noticeably paler. On the one hand, they provided an opportunity Ferrara play sentiments by portraying ozverevshih of permissiveness police thugs, but on the other – as it seemed not very convincingly, even though they tried. But by and large – not bad. Just on the background of Uokena Fishberna and they slightly lost. Incidentally, Snaypsa Flanigana led to the role it is Caruso – they shot together in one TV series.

Overall, a good film, it is a decent view. Atmospheric New York, powerful characters, vivid psychological portraits, natural and some “nekinematograficheskie”, strangely enough it sounds, shooting – it is a decent piece of genre criminal psychological militants.

Avstriyak agrees not to wait for more than a month. But where able to win such a huge amount in such a short time? But Luchino knows such a country, where the land is rich, and people trust and prostodushny. Russia – the so-called this country. When a player has lived in Russia and they even got married the daughter of non-poor parents. Later, going to Europe, he had always dreamed of returning to Russia-mother – if not to admire the Birches were dismissed, at least for the “Kids” any prostachka. Now Fortsa should rush into Russia’s honour. And because arse anything threat prison and the loss of all states.

Luchino arrived in a kind of sleepy county town, settled at postoyalom yard with the help of local and Alexei servants (Ignat Akrachkov) began to search for partners at banchishko. These partners were found immediately. This nerazluchnaya trinity zakadychnyh friends – Shvohnev (Sergei Makovetsky), Consolation (Sergei Garmash), and Krugel (Andrei Merzlikin). Beer and vodka in haste, four картежников agility on the cloth sword battles, but in a few minutes it became clear that not Senke cap. And not in the horse feed. And not a bullet in the head. Because they all four – Rooks.

Churches met to thrash three provincial idiots, and they were found herself toured the region and distributing kraplenye peredergivaya deck so that there was only dust of bills, vytaschennyh nezadachlivymi players inherited from the trunks.

Upon discovering this unfortunate misunderstanding, the man did not sever friend of a friend at the collars and demand soddisfazione. After all, why crows cause eye damage to another crow, but one shuleru quarrel with others? They need to come together and try prostakov – here it will be the right decision.

Comforting as a senior at Trinity friends invited Fortse strong friendship and the solid alliance. Yes, Russian specialists recognize the skill Overseas guest, which can work even with nekraplenoy deck zauchiv heart “jacket” of all cards. But Russian trinity well aware local realities, customs, and, importantly, local prostakov. And now they are just four mountains is minimized.

If not, of course, will try to smoshennichat with each other. And it is possible – very kind people.

Pavel Chukhrai, GEORGIA such films as “Thief” and “The driver for the Faith,” has decided to turn to the classics. The film “Russian game” put on the unfinished play Gogol “Players” (Gogol himself identified as a product of this genre of “dramatic passage”). Chukhrai, in general, what little away from the original story, with the exception of a small but very significant detail: in the original Italian, no, it was not. Cheats had come too Russian – Capital Iharev Stuff, which came from apple province, but at this oblomalsya slightly.

Of the story of Gogol conclusion was simple: “For every cheats find cheats hat.” A conclusion is made in the movie and wide-ranging challenges such as klyukvenno-patriotichnee of a series: “Who are we to Rogues come from Rogues and die.” Chukhrai proposes proud that the Russian player obzhulili Italian cheats – breakwater, it teaches patriotism. Well, I am personally proud of, yes.

Italians, as he wrote in Brain Means Rape, originally was to play Toto Cutugno … To play in the movies? To some Cutugno delighted, but the samples showed that the actor from it – zero, so that even the joy of recognizing the spectators celebrated composer could not hide this fact unpleasant film.

Since then, the role of Fortsy invited Italian Giuliano Di Capua, who was born in Switzerland, studied in Zurich and Egypt, but then moved to Russia, schooling at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts Theatre and is now playing in a lot of theatre and cinema, is the transfer of the channel ” SRT and performs in St. Petersburg. He, as an Italian in the film, married to a Russian – leading to the canal “SRT”.

Roles Shvohneva and Comforting dostalis two masters (without irony) – Makovetskomu Garmashu and, under his wing and gave Merzlikina. Actually, Makovetsky Garmash and basically a movie and rescued. Why saved? Because apparently failed Russian directors also put Russian classics. Even the “pass” (the very words imputed), the story of Gogol, in Soviet times, were filmed in such a way that they still want to watch and review. Every scene, every episode – all excellent and well-thought in line with the style of the original works.

Chukhrai, some credit to him, style withstand very tried. Even useful for the restoration of appropriate environment galleys, for which film crew went to Suzdal, and anxiety was raised on an entire company decorators. Regional city itself, and built a courtyard and costumes was reached very well – will not lying. But with the style – yet something is something. As if through old periodically lurks something is not pertinent to the time.

And first of all – it is Gypsies. I do not know why no one told Chuhrayu as actually dressed gypsies in Russia those times. And they sang. I like to dance. Because this strange trinity, which he attends, and there vyplyasyvaet, more like a long, or Serb refugees expelled from the group Gipsy Kings for drunkenness and absenteeism participants spare composition. That’s what you want to do with me, but it is not the Gypsies – either by type or by the behavior or the songs and dances.

Construction of some episodes strangely enough has been done – leaving the impression texture and roughness. Also unclear is why put such emphasis on the visual prisluzhivayuschego pub in Aleshku: his camera all the time allocated, it is a very mnogoznachitelno looked at what is happening – except, I think, Aleshka, stervets, will be the main participant conceived machinations. An no, Aleshenka died at the end of the film, as if it did not exist. And on feature, ask?

But even Stanislavsky Nemirovich-Danchenko said: “If you veshaesh in the first act on the wall gun, the gun must necessarily evonnoe demolish principal mainly hero least in the final.” What is translated into Russian means literally that: no need to empty allusions, it is to anything. If the character – a small and insignificant man, and he should look like a small and insignificant man, and not the grass and fiery mnogoznachitelnym look at what is happening as Stirlitz, present at the secret meeting with Mueller.

However, as I said, some roughness and respected as such notable productions smooths actors – and Garmash Makowecki. Both played as if their Charity, and they are – all-expensive look. Makovetsky, the truth is, in my view, something which is slightly (very slightly) pereigryvaet, but it is clear from the desire to fill some gaps movie.

Merzlikin against the backdrop of such brilliant actors looking, of course, noticeably weaker, and did not play as well podygryval, but, first, not irritating, and, secondly, thank you very much, that Merzlikin, and not some terrible Alexei Panin – this is would be complete fallimento dello spettacolo teatrale.

Di Capua not particularly like – something he played well, but the Italian kleilsya there is not much, has been placed entirely artificial, because it looks quite inorodno character. Kyafir it in this play, in short.

But from the very minor characters like Vladimir Salnikov in the role of landlord Glowa, whose whole brothers tried to force the play walls. Like most small role, but as brightly played, and just this episode reminded the old Soviet productions – in quality and level.

Purely kartezhnye entertainment, receptions and Escapade looked quite impressive, but no more. Moreover, the story is, in general, not about the fraudulent reception as such.

As a result, some have been in difficulties before the final withdrawal of the assessment. Actor game – at four, and in the case Makovetskogo and Garmasha – almost five. Production – well, at the top three with a plus. Assessment of scenario will reflect, of course, not the product of Gogol, and the fact that it did.

As a result – something in between a troika with a plus and minus with a quartet. No looked’s still not without pleasure, so quartet with less. Well, plus an additional choice for the source. Let Gogol better place than any “Boy with a shadow – 15″ …

So the desire to make a full meter from the masters Comedy Club, it was quite natural and predictable.

Komediklabovtsy in the project were made by producers and authors of the script, the script wrote an entire brigade of five people in the film and it is very noticeable. However, I zabegayu forward. Let’s first on the topic – as a full meter to be a plot, at least formal …

Wadyka (Garick Kharlamov) marries Naste (Velikanova Elena). During the wedding drugan Wadyka old nicknamed kilogram (Michael Galustyan) offers novobrachnomu kosyachok Huff. Wadyka vdul and travelling. In bone Vadik gets in Purgatory, where Secretary of the Greater Parney (Armen Djigarkhanyan) examine the computer Apple iBook G4 ™ life Wadyka to decide where to send him on stage – to play the lira and eat ambroziyu, Mr. fry or asses.

Pobalakav with Secretary of the affairs of their sinful, Vadik understands that the case poorly – in a literal sense, because the good deeds he has not recall. I remember when Vadik begins his whole life: childhood drunk with papashkoy-alkashom, with Sadist-army sergeant and Afghan nadlomom, bandit nineties, familiarity with Nasty, well, and so on. In these times of their lives Vadik full-Na: drank, smoked, took drugs, orgaistichno seksualil, reketirno banditnichal and also acted as unconditional enemy of society.

As is typical, the secretary did not endorse Vadikino behavior, so that the guy got up real ointments Hellish napryachsya …

Well, in general, once it was clear that if such a film crew to where zapravlyayut komediklabovtsy, with a full subway will be obvious problem: stendap-comedy – is one thing, a full meter – quite another. In a press release creators of the movie talking their long, the so-called predecessors – Tsukkerov with Abrahamsom, Mela and Brooks bratkov Wayans – and told all concerned that they, supposedly, are determined to revive (or rather, give birth) in Russia carbon monoxide Jackson comedy genre .

Therefore plot “Most best film” is divided into two distinct components: a direct travesty of all teams, Colon, the ninth company, patrols, and the excellent Nanny drivers, as well as clean-gegi sketches in the spirit of Comedy Club.

Considering that one brand Comedy Club will not be enough, the creators of the film attracted a number of projects in its “My Rash” in the person of popular pet Galustyana Mhishi. And what Galustyan will do in the movie – it seems to have been no question of priority. He plays the role with a character nicknamed kilogram, and it looks about the same as the role of a steep Hackers Use Oscar Kucera in Cote apocalypse “- actor potential is not used at five per cent.

Also in the film sardines to heap any other famous people, with very mixed results: for example, Dmitri Nagiyev and Boris Moiseyev worked on all one hundred and Ksenia Sobchak as a prostitute – has been ridiculous, but in the deepest meaning than the emergence of Anastasia and some background Kalmanowicz Other characters – I never understood. Apparently, before the pile.

To parody movies at all, it was also very even in different ways. Mostly bad. Level mentioned in the press releases and Tsukkerov Abrahamsa of this hidden hand in such stars have given that this debate and even indecent. But can be compared to bratkami Ueyansami and very terrible cinema. (Yes, I know that after two releases draft Ueyansov and tired of the “Scary Movie” Tsukkeru passed to David, but later Tsukker – this is about as late Ryazanov: bit better teeth and silently crying in the pillow.)

The scheme clearly parodies kopirovalas with “Very scary movie”: more and more grotesque poshlyatiny – viewers want. I do not know how other spectators, and I basically did not parody liked. Except for a very successful discoveries in the form teams magna machines “Oca” and impressive sergeant, played by Dmitry Nagievym, remember, in fact, nothing.

Regarding gegov Comedy Club, in the spirit of – well, there was just all more or less in the spirit of Comedy Club: from nesusvetnoy and not funny (in my opinion, of course) to poshlyatiny probleskov very good set of episodes like alkasha father. And while the characters occasionally remember that they need to surprise the audience, and the easiest option is to call popkornovo-beer “гы-гы, zekinsko” – to issue “asshole” and “dick”, as well as members of various rubber wave configurations.

Some well nachinavshiesya episodes themselves and zaporoli: for example, Time Milan in the execution of Paul Wholey initially looked really funny and amusing, but then they were clearly tired that Milan and his wild battle on artificial member with Vadim. Initially funny parody simply an impasse – well, not so funny look, but just helpless.

However, since the beginning of the movie, when bare arse Kharlamova, withdrawn directly from the toilets, to stop the kick, then they Galustyanom look at their reflection in the water, Galustyan delivers key phrase: “You, a hike in cinema amused” and it is accompanied by all gomericheskim gogotom voice – I thought that would be very bad.

But it turned out that no horror-horror, but simply diligent and totally amateur zakos Comedy Club under bratkov Ueyansov. Format polnometrazhki they do not feel and do not understand parody they basically slabenkie was reached fairly, and most typical komediklabovskih gegov to display full meter fade until full bestsvetnosti.

The great percentage poshlyatiny sortirnogo humor and even meaning no mention – what you want from Comedy Club, which at that, in general, it is worth? It would be surprising if they like yumorok, on the contrary, did not use …

With all very theatrical game srednenko. One case – ape in polulyubitelskih surrounding Comedy Club, the other – to play in the film. U Garica Kharlamova play in the movie is not far produced. Yes, it is very hard emulate Jim Currie, but Jim Currie imitations before him – how to Moon, a very Kharlamova in his game almost not visible.

What makes this movie Galustyan, as I said, not at all clear. He is just a very bright comic actor, and this should have been so is not to contrive his talents to use. Probably, they did not want him to Kharlamova beaten. Well, why was it so inviting?

In the name of the movie is all rather amusing. Initially, the picture was “very Russian Cinema”, but later accepted version of “The Best Movie.” Kharlamov talked about it the following, quote: “This is not just a name. This is a very subtle move. Imagine how you will tell your friends about it. A movie I watched” The Best Movie. “And that tomorrow is a movie?” Samy Best Film. “Very convenient. Can you verify.”

So, Garick, I checked. Here you heard yesterday sobstvennoushno dialogue, quote:

– You saw that yesterday?

– Yes this shit “The best movie …

Well, it’s time to summarize. I think a lot of what has stood – not horror, the horror, but rather slabenko. Good points there, but it’s still not polnometrazhku pulls. Still, “Scary Movie” is not much better and, moreover, does not take into account Russian realities, so that it is possible to predict that fans Comedy Club is pokatit picture. Some entries will be approximately as follows:

Second BA is just SHIDEVR … Garick such a selection such Architecture … We simply excellent plays J. Kerry even лутше much … I generally polazhitelnyh imotsy sea. We podrushkami Abstaining entire movie chesnoe word!

So the fans’ very scary movie “and Comedy Club – look, definitely. No fans – it is better not to watch. Comedy-perdyu much can be forgiven, if it really funny. Here efficiency successful stories – extremely low. Some in the steam.
