Another Nicholas Cage movie… We are now used to seeing him in crappy movies, but I must say that I quite liked this one. It was a classical return to the seventies revenge flicks with that grindhouse vibe going on, much like Tarantino/Rodriguez cooperation Grindhouse. The violence is over-the-top, suited to 3D needs, so you [...]

Based on a exciting life of Danny Greene, this movie is something that i liked very much. Director was Jonathan Hensleigh who was involved in many great action and thriller movies, and it came as no surprise that this movie would be such a badass thrill. I guess macho stories are always something that audiences [...]
As soon as I saw that Guillermo del Toro was attached somehow to this project I knew that it is going to be good. He produced this movie and Guillem Morales (The Uncertain Guest) wrote and directed it with a very noticeable European vibe. So do not expect another Pan’s Labyrinth but something with a [...]
Although this movie is marketed as Clive Barker’s The Plague, I doubt that Clive was significantly involved. I guess he sat down one day and wrote a short story that was supposed to be developed by the director and the rest of the crew (according to producers they wrote the story themselves and the company [...]
Based on a story that was published in Playboy in 1957 (the following year it was turned into a movie The Fly starring magnificent Vincent Price), this movie is a remake of the 1958 version. With David Cronenberg as director this movie turned into something more experimental than people were expecting. This also shows the [...]
Well, after quite gloomy movie An American Crime, lets move on to something more cheerful. Gnomeo & Juliet is another flick featuring modernized stories that was written a long time ago ( I would like to forget the first 15 minutes of Gulliver’s Travels, but the movie is so awful that its really hard). So [...]
I must have missed this movie in 2007, but I do not know how. Maybe I was actually afraid to check it out, since it is a bit difficult to watch. But that difficulty comes from the horrible story of abuse, torture, neglect and many more things that happen, now even in greater numbers ( [...]
Here`s a bit older movie (well not that old…), but with a good story and nice acting. Directed by Gregory Jacobs and with some big players involved (George Clooney, Steven Soderbergh) it starts out pretty lame, but I guess that was the intention of the writer and director. It is really nice to see this [...]
And here is the big movie from 2010, I checked it out recently and wanted to see it for a second time, to write a better and more balanced review. The hype that this movie produced is similar to Black Swan nowadays, and I think that all those reviews are written by people still under [...]
Another good movie from Clint Eastwood, who could have thought that Dirty Harry would be such a great director. Although, if you compare this movie to the rest of his, you could notice the decline in quality, but than again you can`t make great movies all the time. This time he tried to tackle several [...]
And here we have another movie with Father-Son issues(in a bigger extent then in The Rite). With a director that is most known for his documentaries (and lets not forget The Last King of Scotland and State of Play), I guess that a historical subject of this movie was a right move. I liked the [...]
After the sudden revival of the Exorcist movies in the nineties, the madness continues, producing crappier and crappier movies. I do not know why, but I have to check them out, at least those with some potential. When I saw Anthony Hopkins attached to this project I remember thinking to myself if Anthony fucks it [...]
First of all if you are willing to see a movie called Hobo with a Shotgun, you know what you are expecting to see. Exactly that. This movie was created from a trailer for Grindhouse [2007] by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, just like Machete. And just like Machete this is an Grindhouse, Exploitation flick [...]
Steve Martin in a R rated movie, is it possible? Well, in this 2001 dark-noir comedy it is. Accompanied by excellent musec by Danny Elfman, he managed to steer this movie into something that definitely deserves a viewing. If for nothing else then for its originality and a pretty zany subject. It is a rare [...]
