• A nice surprise — for Les nouvelles aventures d'Aladin
  Written by NekoSama on 18.06.2016

  Even if the name of Kev Adams can stand for cheap comedy and bad humour, Les nouvelles aventures d'Aladin is truly a nice comedy to watch!

  Finding its inspiration in the puns and the absurd situations that made Canal + famous in the nineties, you'll be delighted to recognize old faces like Jean-Paul Roove or Michel Blanc.

  The movie tries to modernize the myth of Aladin: the story is told by a nowadays Kev Adams who works at the mall as Santa for Christmas. This is the occasion for many anachronisms on which the movie might rely too much.

  The narration might be the main asset of this movie: as we saw the story being told, we see how it is made, why it is sometimes unbelievable, what controls the outcome of some of the dramatic events of the movie.

  I would advise you this movie if you want to see how a single popular movie can be entertaining for every one: child, parents and cinephile.

  **spoilers ahead**

  This thriller movie might upset many of your previous knowledge...

  This thriller movie might not have an incredible scenario: a serial killer has to be stopped by a FBI agent. This agent needs to work with an expert man she does not get along with very well.

  We all have seen this: in previous movies, in series etc. But here our man is an expert in paranormal! He is a medium who is able to sense the story of things by touching them.

  You'll discover in the movie that the serial killer is also a medium, a much more talented one that kills only people who would have died in pain.

  This modus operandi rises interesting ethical questions about euthanasy and what a crime really is.

  Aside from the narration that does the job and will make you thrill for the characters, the real originality in this movie is its direction.
  The shooting is sometimes really unexpecting: the camera makes unpredictable moves to follow the action! It really is a refreshing experience when movies today tend to have a very codified shooting style.

  A movie I would advise to those who want to see something both new and known.
