I know that you are used to seeing different types of movies here, but Another Year was just too good to pass up. It is beautifully directed, shot, acted and written  a heartwarming story of life and everything else. It is very honest, without any prejudice it shows us the life of an older married [...]

Coming to us from the guy who wrote The Hitcher and Near Dark, 100 Feet is a movie with a slightly misleading title. I expected (as you can notice I expect a lot in my reviews, and almost always I’m wrong) everything else from a serial killer who chops off his victims feet to foot [...]

Right from the start you can sense and see that this is not an American or English flick, the Italians have peculiar vision of horror and beauty, and when you add to that eccentric directors and complete artistic freedom you get works of art and not movies. Although all this can turn into something rather [...]

I just love movies where things go horribly wrong, or someone fucks up (Very Bad Things vibe), and Brotherhood is one of those movies. Without much hype or drama this movie was released and I am sure that it will pick up its share of glory and movie history as time goes on. This is [...]

Getting mediocre reviews all around, Husk seems to be another straight to video flick looking for a quick buck on the same premise as so many before him. It uses the setting of a corn field and an old house, and those two are guaranteed to look scary, especially at night. Of course, how we [...]

Alcoholism is always a good subject for a movie, and Everything Must Go, exploits this as its main theme. Luckily the mantra about how it’s a disease and all the other mainstream crap is quite subtle and you can hardly sense it, mostly by an almost exploitationist approach of the director and Will’s relaxed “acting”. [...]

Attack the Block is a first feature film by Joe Cornish (comedian, actor(Hot Fuzz)), and it is not too shabby, considering the lack of experience, but his next movie is Spielbergs The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn so we can expect to see more of him in the future. From the trailer, I [...]

If you’re up for something a bit more weirder and mysterious then run-of-the-mill thrillers, check out this movie. This is also an opportunity to see Jeff Daniels in a much more demanding role than in Dumb & Dumber, although after that movie he rarely appears in comedies (check out Imaginary Heroes and The Squid and [...]

Banking on the obscure subject and sort of an X-Files vibe, Shelter tries to create that weird psychological-thriller atmosphere with a large religious influence. And when I say religious I mean it in a ritualistic, almost voodoo pagan sense, with a dogmatic christian thing of being a believer or not as a counterpart. The choice [...]

Taking a bit different take with horror movies Tucker And Dale Vs Evil takes the classical premise of murderous hillbillies and spins it around. This could not have been done without great actors in lead roles and although I never liked Tyler Labine, but I must admit that he was really great. Of course, Alan [...]

While we are talking about rare and original movies, Love Object comes to mind. Again this is a mixture of several genres, that are blended perfectly although seemingly comedy and horror do not go well with psychological thrillers. Examining alienation, sexual frustration and modern society Robert Parigi created something that seems like an alternate universe, [...]

There are not a lot of these movies around so this is truly a rare sight for a sore eyes. A detective story with a noir vibe with a lot of science fiction and faction stuff is something that you don’t have coming out every year in abundance. The movie feels like a book, which [...]
