This Aussie western flick is truly the strange one. First of all, the script has been written by Nick Cave (the singer, if you do not know who he is you better find out), secondly it has a very speciall mood and the atmosphere because of the Australian outback. Four brothers Burns are hardcore criminals [...]

Directed by Quentin Tarantino, this masterpiece is something that will achieve cult status in the following years. Christoph Waltz`s [...]
When you see that some movie is directed by Coen brothers you know it is going to be good. This time they tried to make a noir film, and they succeeded. Cast is perfect as always and Frances McDormand is present as well as in any other their movie. Ed Crane is a simple man, he [...]
I think this is one of the few Argentinian movies that I have seen, and this is definitely the best. Although it uses the same premise as any other detective/killer movie, this one has a soul of its own, and that special vibe that you cannot find in American movies. The sets, clothes and everything else [...]

It deals with a lot of society problems and it does so through the story of a single individual, Nathaniel Ayers a homeless man suffering from schizophrenia. Nathaniel Ayers is also an extraordinary gifted soloist that is in love with the music and the instruments he [...]
This family drama is much tougher than you think, or what the poster would like you to think. It takes a rather light approach to a very difficult story of dysfunctional and estranged families. Frank Goode worked very hard his hole life, trying to raise his four children. Doing so, he got sick, and as [...]
Movies that are with religious subject are very hard to make. Perfect example is The Passion of the Christ, shrouded in controversy. Agora also belongs to this category, presenting historical events and religious prosecution in all its grittiness. Hate, love, doubt, and blind belief present even today are portrayed in a masterful way, and you can [...]
Roman Polanski, a very controversial director(check out documentary Wanted And Desired) made this masterpiece back in 1992, and keep in mind that Mimi is his wife from 1989. The older looks of the movie may put off some people but give it a chance. The acting is awesome, and Peter Coyote did an amazing job [...]
As everybody else I had my doubts about this movie, since the original was a fucking masterpiece. But the new title, cast and director looked promising. And they kept their promise. This is not a remake of the original but an entirely new movie that builds its own world in the swampy and decayed New [...]
This little gem(such a classical beginning for a movie review, I shall not use any more ) has been hidden from the public for a long time. When it comes to claymation movies, you know that hard work is just one of the ingredients, the next one is a story and oh boy does this [...]

After Burn After Reading this is the next movie coming to us from Coen brothers. Although I was really a fan from start this one is kind of illusive to me. Maybe this is due to the strong Jewish background of the movie and my lack of knowledge regarding the subject, I do not know. Larry Gopnik [...]
Coming to us from famous director Adrian Lyne(Lolita, Fatal Attraction, Nine 1/2 Weeks, Flashdance) this movie tackles a more serious theme then his previous projects. Visually very impressive and content-wise just plain beautiful this bomb from the eighties can still evoke emotions(that is greatly due to the amazing performance by Tim Robbins). Jacob Singer is [...]
Another hit from the hand of Stephen King I really do not get how he can find inspiration to write such an interesting stories. This one is about a young boy that accidentally discovers wanted Nazi war criminal and then blackmails him. The old saying goes fuck with the bull and you get the horns, [...]
Coming to us from famous Peter Jackson(The Lord of the Rings, King Kong, Bad Taste) this movie is a very strange mixture of genres. It combines serious issues with very soft storytelling and a very visual and imaginative scenography. It reminds me of Darren Aronofsky(The Fountain, Pi). Salmon family is a perfect example of an American Dream, a house [...]
This great Italian flick is based on one thing, and that thing is that Monica Bellucci is superhot. In every other scene she is half naked, naked or preparing to be naked. The story is set during the world war two, and in a small Italian town all the eyes are pointed at one person, [...]
