A very atmospheric movie, that still did not manage to deliver a final blow to the audience. The story is set in the future, where four powerful corporations rule the world. They are waging war(looks like World War I battles), and during this battles, a ancient machine buried deep in the earth awoke and started [...]

This what an adventure movie should look like, well adventure/action movie. Story follows Frank Hopkins, a Pony Express courier, who travels to Arabia do enter a dangerous race with his horse Hidalgo. Although the movie is a bit longer (136 min), it is not boring for one second. Viggo Mortensen is just captivating in his [...]
Based on a Isaac Asimov short story “The Bicentennial Man”, this movie stretches to two hours, that is maybe a bit unnecessary, but I guess that the director wanted to show some things seem very long. So this is a story of a android, called Andrew, that managed to develop emotions and interests due to [...]
Now here is a perfect example what will happen if some movie takes itself too seriously. After The Terminator 2, this franchise developed a cult following, and this movie is enveloped in that vibe. There are some glimpses of the creative side, like songs, and use of Arnold, but still, that is not enough. They [...]
The final part of the Evil Dead trilogy (although there are roomers that there is going to be a fourth flick, but it is unclear is it going to be a remake of the first part or a new movie) is the funniest one. The horror part is not so scary and this movie is [...]
Monsters vs Aliens is another computer animated cartoon that is just that, nothing more, and nothing less. So do not expect a complicated plot and some intriguing characters, but more of relaxed and easygoing atmosphere and a few jokes. Although the movie gets a bit boring in some segments, excellent cast makes up for that. [...]
When I saw that Peter Jacksons name was used to promote this movie, I taught that it is going to be another milking movie, but I was wrong. This movie is something new, well not that much new, but it successfully combines several styles into an epic SF movie. You will see [Rec](Cloverfield, Quarantine), Black [...]
By my opinion this is the best part of the trilogy. It combines action, horror and comedy in a best possible way, so do not be surprised when one minute your laughing and the next you are scared. Ash as a sole survivor of the massacre in the first part, now have to fight of [...]
This movie is like a Simon Pegg movie coming to America. Based on a book by Toby Young “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People”, the movie follows rise to the fame of a Sidney Young, a small time celebrity journalist. He is asked to come to New York to work for a famous magazine Sharp. Jokes are good [...]
With the release of the Drag Me To Hell movie, a lot of viewers got interested in Sam Raimi˙s earlier works, and of course they stumbled upon a this movie. Made with a very low budget this movie now developed a cult status. Although a lot of viewers found it boring and mediocre, this movie [...]
The other man, the title says it all. This is a movie about infidelity and all the fucked up stuff that appears when it happens. It seems to bring out all the insecureness in a man or a women. Lisa (Laura Linney) and Peter (Liam Neeson) lived a happy life, and Peter was quite satisfied [...]
What a great movie. Aberdeen is that type of drama where there are comical elements, so it is easier to swallow all the hard stuff. Characters and situations are portrayed really realistically, and you have a feeling that it is all real and happening right now. Kaisa is a successful lawyer with a drug problem, [...]
Another great movie written by David Mamet (Hannibal, Glengarry Glen Ross…) is brought to life. As always sir Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin are in lead roles, and of course with this duo you cannot go wrong. And since you are still having doubts about casting there is Elle Macpherson, to cast them away. Charles [...]
This movie continues what Peter Jackson started with Braindead and Bad Taste, a horror movie with a hilarious premise of killer sheep. Lets get something straight, this movie is not some B-movie rubbish, the production values are great and the effects(make-up and other stuff) are done really professionally. Henry Oldfield returns to his fathers farm [...]
Another movie starring Simon Pegg, so expect the same stuff as in Shaun of the Dead. Excellent British humor, and weird events. Nicholas Angel is a supercop who manages to catch every criminal on the the street, but jealous co workers arranged his transfer to a small town. In this culture shock Nicholas is assigned a [...]
Of the best zombie comedies that I have seen. It combines all the elements I like: British dark humor, Zombies, and a hell of a story. There is a lot of quality gore, but portrayed in such a benign way that it is almost cute. It follows Shaun, a lazy guy who have just been [...]
Another masterpiece from the Coen brothers. So expect a movie in a line of Fargo, lots of dark humor and serious but not that serious situations. I like how they used Brad Pitt as a health and workout freak, its sort of what would happen if someone who you least expect gain possession of something valuable [...]
FeardotCom is a very strange flick. It uses the same premise as Ringu (The Ring) in combination with the usage of the new technologies. It is one of the first in a wave of popular Internet Murders movies, that use Internet as tool or an essential part of their plot. There are quite a few [...]
Now here comes a good independent horror flick. Cleverly using small budget and not so good actors, they managed to make a pretty good movie. Story is set in a movie theater, where a killer comes out of the screen and start to kill viewers. It`s another horror flick featuring closed environment, that gives out [...]
I mean how to start this review seriously when the name of the movie is Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, i mean come on! The tag-line says is all: ” The first testament says “an eye for an eye.” — The second testament says “love thy neighbor.” — The third testament … Kicks Ass!!!” So you [...]
