Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is undoubtedly the strangest Christmas film I’ve ever seen. Blending holiday horror, a coming-of-age comedy, and the straight-up bizarre with its own Santa Claus mythology, this is the kind of story that you’d be crazy to green-lit but in practice inexplicably works.

In Finland, a research team has been drilling inside Korvatunturi, a mountain supposedly housing Santa Claus. After uncovering something deep in the earth, Pietari (Onni Tommila) observes strange footprints in the snow. Soon after, his father (Jorma Tommila) discovers an old man (Peeter Jakobi) with a long white beard that couldn’t possibly be Santa Claus… could he?

Only a mind as demented as writer/director Jalmari Helander could come up with Rare Exports, which means you have no way of predicting what’s coming next. You know there’s something buried in that mountain. Presumably, it’s related to the naked old man they've discovered but from there, it could go ANYWHERE. You’re not even sure what kind of movie this is and just when you think you’ve got the genre pinned down, it’ll switch. Inexplicably it all fits together.

Part of what makes this movie such a treat is how un-Hollywood it is. The mythology we’re introduced to is unlike anything we’ve heard before but it’s so quirky and off-beat it seems legitimate, like it was dug up out of some old Finnish version of Grim’s Christmas fairytales or simply what the kids over there believe. You can see the path another filmmaker would’ve taken like fresh tracks in the snow and all of them would’ve led somewhere you’ve seen before. This deliberately buckles your expectations in so many ways. Here’s an example that gives nothing away; there are no women in this film. We know they exist but you don’t see a single one. Is it just the way things turned out? Could be. I’m leaning towards it being a deliberate decision to put us just a little bit off-center, to keep us guessing.

And then, things take another loony turn. You were so busy figuring out what the deal with that old man was, whether Pietari’s dad was a villain or not, what the young boy needed to do to keep safe, what role the wild reindeer in the woods play in all this… when all the clues that were dropped earlier in the movie add up to this revelation that makes your jaw drop. Then, a tonal shift. Then, another. Somehow, the magic of the holiday, the childlike enthusiasm of this nutty movie blend it all together while keeping them separate. This movie has gore and murder but it’s also weirdly sweet and cheery. You’re not even sure if you’re reading it all correctly and then, you get an explanation for that end title. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is best enjoyed when you know as little about it as possible. It’s darkly comic and gruesome but never feels excessive or mean-spirited despite its revisionist origin of Santa Claus There’s fairytale wonder present that gives it a whole lot of charm when you’re not gnawing on your fingernails like they’re gingerbread men. Because its story is so fresh and original, because it covers so many bases, I could easily see it as the kind of demented gem you’re drawn back to annually.

Letters To Juliet (2010)

There are plenty of What-If’s that are going on in our absurd minds; And we, people, are finding courage to fight those What-If’s. It’s kind of funny and confusing how we could actually find courage in those two italicize words. There would be one and only one that is destined for you. Don’t let those What-If’s ruin it for you. Take the courage, leave the two words behind, breathe deeply, and love.

The King’s Speech (2010)

I’d always meant to see The King's Speech but never found the right mood, crowd, or time until today. I wish I could go back to get myself to see it sooner. Its story completely enraptures you, everyone delivers fantastic performers, and it offers many memorable moments throughout. Even though it’s "only" a movie about people talking it’s as exciting as a bomb going off.

Prince Albert, Duke of York (Colin Firth) suffers from a terrible stammer. He’s tried everything to get over it, but has given up. With the advent of radio and increasing responsibilities as his brother Edward (Guy Pearce) shows himself unfit to rule, Albert is convinced by his wife Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) to see Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian speech therapist.

There’s almost too much to take in from a single viewing. Firth won the Academy Award for best Actor so obviously you want to pay attention to him but he's just one among many. Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter are excellent here. They feel like real people with unique flaws, dreams, and quirks. When the camera isn’t on them, you know their lives go on. Then, there’s the cinematography. It's great but not in obvious ways. This movie is all about dialogue and characters. The camera sneaks in to enhance the mood, by giving you low shots to emphasize how daunting a task might be, or framing the characters in a way that allows you to understand how they feel on the inside. I wish I could tell you about the music, the sets, and the period-accurate costumes but honestly, they all blend in so well with the rest of the film I couldn’t notice them. The professionals working behind the scenes did such a good job you forget it was all constructed for the film and that in another world, it might not have been there.

When The King's Speech ended, I was wondering when the next scene was going to begin. At 118 minutes, it flies by like nothing. You desperately want a sequel because the story of this soon-to-be-ruler and this speech therapist is filled with every emotion imaginable. It makes you realize how hungry you were to see greatness. We aren't getting a “Part II"  but that’s ok. There’s good re-watch value here. I’d love to be able to memorize some of the lines in this movie for fun or to isolate one particular element and focus my attention upon it.

I know some of you might be thinking “People talking? I get enough of that at work”. Consider that you’ll be inspired, delighted by the relationships that develop, and that it’s a tremendous crowd-pleaser that’s so accessible and so delightful strings were pulled so that the R-rating was toned down to a PG-13 despite the deluge of profanities throughout. Also, consider that you’re a damn fool and that you’re doing yourself a disservice by skipping out on it. I had high hopes for The King’s Speech. It still took me by surprise. I love his movie.

Movies I've seen in 2010.

All the movies that I have seen that came out in theatres in 2010. Rating them from 1-10 & letting you know what I thought about it.

Alice in Wonderland- Not as good as I thought it'd be. The effects were good. But the ending was just weird. Other than that, I especially loved it because of Johnny Depp & Anne Hathaway. I'll give it a 7.5.

The Runaways- One of the hottest movies ever. They didn't really tell the whole story right. And Sandy West was more of a bitch in real life than in the movie. But the music was good & so was their singing version. I'd give it a 9.

The Last Song- Amazing movie. Acting wasn't so great but it was still good. Miley was amazing. She made me tear up a couple times & cry once. I loved it. I'd give it a 9.5.

Date Night- Funniest movie. It had a lot of intense parts and not to mentiona lot of my favorite actors. I pretty much loved it alot. I'd give it a 10.

Kickass- That movie was too badass. Hitgirl was too fucking down. I loved it entirely. I'd give it a 10.

Ironman 2- This movie was okay. I think it would have been better for me if I had seen the first one, which I didn't. The effects were good and it had a good ending. I'd give it an 8.

Letters To Juliet- Well, if you have seen the things I post, you'd see that romance is my kind of movie, so this was one of the most cutest romantic movies ever. I loved it alot and Amanda was too beautiful in it. I'd give it a 10.

Shrek Forever After- Cute movie. Very adorable. I think it's the kind of movie that's mostly for dads, due to the fact that mostly dads were in the theatre. It was very cute though. I'd give it a 10.

Toy Story 3- I can't think of any of my friends that saw this movie that didn't cry. So touching, and unbelievably cute. Lots of funny parts of course. A 10. All the way.

Grown Ups- Very hilarious movie. Couldn't stop laughing. And all the actors played their part very well. I thought it was great. I'd give it a 9.

Eclipse- I'm not a huge fan of the Twilight series but this one was pretty good. Jacob was very funny in this movie, and of course, I still hate Bella. But still okay. I'd give it a 7.

Inception- One of my favorites. Amazing movie. So intense. I thought it was great. And the effects and everything was too good. I'd give it a 10.

Charlie St. Cloud- Cute movie. Had lots of sad parts. But I love Zac Efron, so when he cried, I cried. I'd give it an 8.

Scott Pilgrim- Well, this movie was too fucking great. Effects were AMAZING & it was really funny. I loved it. A 10, of course.

The Switch- This movie was ok. Had some funny parts and cute ones as well. I loved the little kid. He was too adorable. I think I'd give it an 8.

The Last Exorcism- Well, I don't know about you, but as for me, I think it's extremely disturbing when it comes to exorcism. The movie seemed real but a lot of fake parts. I'd give it an 8.

Easy A- That movie was a very cute teen movie. Some funny parts, and I really enjoyed dseeing my baby Cam Gigandet, of course. A 9.

Devil- I'd give it a 7.5. It wasn't that good. I guess you can say it was unpredictable, but then again not really. And I guess it gives a good message.

Alpha & Omega- I'd give it an 8. It was very cute and loving. Taught a good message. <3

Social Network- For some reason, it kind of bored me. Too much technical talk & I hardly payed any attention. Mm, maybe a 6.

True Grit-

Black Swan-

Due Date-

Morning Glory-

Tangled-

Love and Other Drugs-

Paranormal Activity 2-

Life as we know it-

The Fighter-

Gulliver's Travels-

(As you can see, I watch alot of movies.) :P

2010 movie log #35 - Watchmen (2009, Zach Snyder)

My tv guide brilliantly reviews this in just two sentences. First and assortment of boasts like incredible visuals, written by the genius alan moore, dystopian fantasy epic, whatever, and then the obvious disclaimer: strictly for teenagers.

Quite fair i'd say, this movie takes itself quite too seriously to not come off as overwrought, overshot, overstaged and hence ridiculous in some passages. To enjoy it thoroughly you need the same uncompromising seriousness and passionate gravitas about the subject that i once possessed as a kid, but have since lost in my old age in an infinite sea of meh.
