Another in a line of movies that examines a dysfunctional family, this movie can be slow at times but still delivers. This is a story about the Sinclaire family that consists of a father (masterfully played by J.K. Simmons) and two estranged brothers with very different personalities. Caleb Sinclaire is chain-smoking, nervous and dark person, [...]

When I read that this movie is one of the Quentin Tarantino’s favorites I had to see it. And what can a man expect from Japanese film makers than this bloody mess. Set in the future, this movie provides us with some rather unorthodox decisions of the government. In this case government kidnapped an entire high [...]
Can you base your movie on one hot female lead? The answer is yes. Natasha Henstridge was 21 when she made this movie and I am glad that she did. She is so hot, and the director knew that, so we are able to see her boobs every 5 minutes. After the human kind receives [...]
This is the most outrageous and over-the-top karate and gore movie of all times! It is so ridiculously violent and bloody that you just have to see it, after this movie you will laugh at Martyrs and other scary flicks. Meet Ricky (in this Japanese movie the main character is called Ricky) he is a [...]
Praised by many, i did not like that much this movie. It is okay and nothing more and stop comparing it to Hangover, apart from the obvious similarities these movies are nothing alike. First of all, the characters are one dimensional and pretty simplistic, and I know this is the comedy, but they could have [...]
Here is another Alexandre Aja (Haute tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors) movie. It is not scary as the rest of them, nor better but it is a decent little thriller with some brutal scenes (actually two). After workaholic executive Angela gets stalled at work on a Christmas Eve she will be pursued by a [...]
I really thought that this movie would suck big time(suck lol), but it turned out to be a heart-warming comedy that leaves viewer interested in destinies of the characters. The leads are phenomenal, I knew that Ewan was a versatile actor and Jim just showed that he can play almost anybody and make him funny. [...]
Another example of great horror movies coming to us from France. This time the director makes his mixture of a classical American Texas Chainsaw/Hills Have Eyes movie. After the riots in Paris, a group of young delinquents are trying to reach border and get to Amsterdam with some stolen cash. On their way they will [...]
This is a classic eighties monster flick, and after all this time it is still very watchable, it is gaining popularity as the time passes. Directed by Stephen Herek (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Life or Something Like It) it’s about critters, a furry monsters with a set of razor-sharp teeth and they favorite meal [...]
Now I do not know what to think about Steve Carell. He can be excellent in one movie, and painfully suck in another. This is some of his best work. He is very funny and natural, and, I guess, represents John Smith, aka Joe Everybody, the average man. If you are married, or in a [...]
Although a bit older, this classic movie needs to be checked out, especially if you are a horror movie fan. You just need to see the directors and the writers name to be intrigued (George A. Romero, Stephen King). Through the Creepshow series you can see the progression of horror movies, and the first part [...]
This easygoing indie movie is something that you need to check out. Although not so serious as American Beauty or some other movies dealing with similar fucked up family subject it still deals with the same issue but in a comical way. The Rizzos are a strange family and every member has a secret that [...]
The Faculty may only look like some teenage crappy movie, but it is not. On this example you can see where these types of movies went after the year 2000 and this whole Harry Potter, and even worse Percy dumbass. We basicly have the same plot of group of young people fighting something supernatural but [...]
When you have to make a movie about a subject so widely recognized it is very difficult to please everyone. Same goes for the Dracula. And I think that Francis Ford Coppolas Dracula (1992) and this movie are the prime examples of how a movie of such magnitude should be done. First of all, the [...]
I was so disappointed after the movie was finished… And that feeling was enhanced by that awesome first part of the movie. Bleak, post-apocalyptic world, where there is no religion and every man fights for himself. Ahh the memories of days in front of Fallout are starting to come back, but then a total destruction [...]
Although marketed as some very fancy and brutal movie, it proved to be another commercial milking project gone wrong. It is not that bad, but with such great potential they have gone in some strange religious/boring direction. I mean come on, what could be more adrenaline pumping story than a vicious conquerer who is on [...]
Here we have another monster flick that was pretty good in its decade. Although some of the effects may seem a bit outdated at this time, they are still very pleasant to the eye and they look pretty decent in comparison with some of the recent movie blunders. Although it is based on a book, [...]
I wonder how many more movies will be made with the same tagline of what would guys do for pussy? Although this is a bit harsh for this lightweight comedy, that is based on a book, it still is justified since the movie uses the same subject. Nick Twisp is another desolate, loser teenager with [...]
I really liked this movie, it combined comic style movies, action, comedy and pretty decent amounts of blood and violence. This is pretty odd, since the movie is pretty much teenager-oriented, but is still very original and unique in its conception. Dave Lizewski is classic high school loser who likes comics. One day he comes [...]
In this case I must join the popular opinion: visually stunning, but lacks the story and the heart. And this is a stretch also, I mean, I know that the effects are amazing but they are supposed to HELP the story not BE the story. And they seem so artificial and cold, so distant from [...]
