After Taken Liam Neeson continues to kick ass in Europe in this movie. Although it is not connected with Taken, it has almost the same vibe and a bit similar story. Again the budget was pretty big and the movie looks very cool, especially the explosions. It is based on a novel Out of My [...]

With the imminent release of the remake, it is time to brush up on this eighties classic, I seriously doubt that the new version will be any good, yes, the cast is phenomenal, but I am having doubts that they will be able to create that relaxed mix of genres…. And they are horror, comedy [...]
It is really hard to define this movie, it uses typical ingredients for a teenage horror movie, but still it is much more than just that, mixing mystery, science fiction and even time travel. All this lumped in together produced a decent flick that is not some masterpiece but something that is worth watching. Granted, [...]
Luc Besson decided to turn a comic Les Aventures extraordinaires d’Adèle Blanc-Sec into this movie, whether this was a good move for him I do not know, but I was entertained by a movie. Adele is more sexier than in the comic (there is a pretty hot bathtub scene), and she is a female, French [...]
Loosely based on a H.P. Lovecraft story, this movie is yet another example of a good eighties horror movie. Cooperation between Stuart Gordon (From Beyond, Castle Freak, Stuck) and Brian Yuzna (Society, Faust: Love of the Damned) produced an interesting mix of comedy, horror, gore and some pretty outrageous scenes. When one of the main [...]
The latest Coen brothers movie is finally here (the next one is Gambit in 2012), and I have to say that you need to be a bit warned before checking it out. True Grit is a movie based on a book by Charles Portis, much like its predecessor True Grit from 1969 starring the legendary [...]
Are you ready for it? The worst and the most hilarious movie that has ever existed is here (or has been here for 21 years), Troll 2. Following the success of Troll that was as almost hilarious as its successor, this movie has it all: bad acting, god awful script, terrible effects and goblins. Yes, [...]
This was quite a blockbuster, so I had to check it out. It is based on a novel by Alan Glynn, directed by Neil Burger (and starring Bradley Hotdog) and I must say that the conversion was successful with a few errors that are expected in this type of process. The cast is excellent, although [...]
Yes, this is a B movie that you could catch any given night on TV, but this is a hell of a B movie. Riding on the eighties vibe and slowly transcending into nineties it uses the best of both decades. In a lead role we have Rutger Hauer, a classical tough, macho man, he [...]
Directed by now famous Brad Anderson this little gem has somehow managed to stay under the radar. It is not pretentious, nor glamorous but more visceral and realistic (as much as you can be with this subject), and if you like that vibe I bet that you will enjoy this movie. It is not based [...]
Created from a fake trailer that you have seen in Grindhouse package, this movie was a bit of a disappointment. Actually, it was made only because the trailer was so popular on youtube and Danny was pestering Rodriguez constantly to make it. So I was expecting a bit more content, but what we got was [...]
After seeing Julias Eyes I decided to check out the first Guillem Morales movie El Habitante Incierto, and it was an amazing experience. It is really rare to see such an original and interesting movie, especially nowadays, and I doubt that any remake could achieve the atmosphere of the original. Everything is perfectly logical or [...]
Based on a Carl Sagan novel this movie is pure perfection, even Matthew McConaughey was really good in his role as a man of cloth (yeah right). Robert Zemeckis showed that after Forrest Gump he can still make great serious movies. With relatively big budget this movie could afford awesome special effects, that survived the [...]
