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, [...]

This little gem is coming to us from Australia. Although they are known throughout the world with Crocodile Dundee, Mad Max and Ozploitation movies, this movie signifies other genres that are emerging from the there. A family drama wrapped with subtle humor, but above all with a very realistic portrayal of life and hardships that [...]

This is a very hard movie to watch, it depicts lives of four drug addicts and their downward spiral into emptiness. Along with their miserable lives, this movie also critics American society, television and drugs in general. Unlike The Trainspotting that had more humorous view on drugs this movie is something that is the ultimate [...]

Very strange flick, with viewers divided into two groups, one who think that the movie is utter garbage and other who praise it. Truth is, as always, somewhere in the middle,but my personal opinion is that it is really good. Again, as many movies before (Office Space, in a comedic style)this movie is trying to [...]

Another great movie coming from Europe, this time France. It is very disturbing and I do not mean disturbing because  something disgusting and sick was shown but disturbing because it is so realistic and believable. Excellent directing and perfect casting, especially for the role of Malik El Djebena in combination with awesome script really realistically [...]

Very strange flick with a lot of big names. I was wandering how did I not notice it back then, but after I saw it, it was obvious. Although the script was good, the acting was mediocre, and Alec was definitely not the man for this type of character. His attempt to be a director [...]

Another movie that tries to bring life to a novel that bases its story around drugs. Although the pace is a little slower, the movie is still interesting to watch, well I guess that nudity and provocative themes did their job. The story is set in the turbulent eighties, in a upscale decadent world of [...]

This movie is hard to categorize and label, yes it is a drama, but there are a lot of humor in it too. It is subtle, but still present. Henry Carter is shrink who suffered a personal tragedy and is having trouble dealing with it. The more you know, the more harder it gets to deal [...]

David Cronenberg directed this movie, so I had high hopes that it will be as good as any other. This was partially true. Ralph Fiennes plays Spider, a quiet and slightly mentally disturbed man. He arrives to a nursing home for the slightly insane people, where he will relive his childhood and the events that [...]

David Helfgott is a child prodigy. He plays the piano like no other child, and as he is growing up his father keeps pushing him to reach his limits. You often see this kind of the abuse in young tennis players, and I guess that extends to any other type of competition. Pushed beyond its [...]

The other man, the title says it all. This is a movie about infidelity and all the fucked up stuff that appears when it happens. It seems to bring out all the insecureness in a man or a women. Lisa (Laura Linney) and Peter (Liam Neeson) lived a happy life, and Peter was quite satisfied [...]

What a great movie. Aberdeen is that type of drama where there are comical elements, so it is easier to swallow all the hard stuff. Characters and situations are portrayed really realistically, and you have a feeling that it is all real and happening right now. Kaisa is a successful lawyer with a drug problem, [...]

Another movie with the same name,  I guess they run out of imagination on this one. So the very emotional and touching story about how people are detached and how the slightest decisions that you make can make a great impact on your life. Great cast and production values, that just complete the picture of [...]
