If you wanna be scared to shit of cancer you might wanna check out this movie, especially because it is based on a true story. Joseph Gordon-Levitt in his endless efforts to escape from 3rd Rock from the Sun, already showed the world that he is an excellent actor (Inception, Hesher, Mysterious Skin) but in [...]

Well, here’s a little detour into a world of drama, and Handsome Harry is a movie that is targeting a lot of groups. There are no notable achievements behind the director and writer but they managed to create an excellent flick, perfectly paced and unraveling the story in just the right moments thus hooking up [...]
For a long time I couldn’t force myself to watch this movie, expecting it to be too intricate and attention-demanding, oh boy how I was wrong. Quills is a beautifully directed 2000 movie starring phenomenal Geoffrey Rush as The Marquis de Sade, a vary creative writer obsessed with sexual intercourse, love, pain and other interesting things [...]
Directed by Nick Cassavetes (Alpha Dog, She’s So Lovely, My Sister’s Keeper) John Q is a rather controversial movie about health-care in America. It seems that this movie has been pushed aside due to its subject, and we are here to correct that error. First of all this script is quite real and I believe [...]
This is Sidney Lumet’s (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Find Me Guilty) last movie, and it is certainly worth watching. It belongs to the category of movies where things just go wrong for the characters, and unlike others where there is a humorous and almost silly underlaying, here nothings is funny or entertaining, it’s just raw [...]
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 [...]
Ross from Friends directing a movie about child abuse, are you fucking kidding me? Oh, how I was wrong about him, because this turned out to be one of the best movies that I have seen in a last few months. Everything was perfect, from acting to story, which was so disturbing and intense that [...]
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 ( [...]
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 [...]
Although religion is not my cup of tea, I found this movie to be fascinating. It is full of positive contrasts and things that are rarely seen in movies of this genre. First of all, this movie had a big budget that enabled it properly show life in 16th Century Germany, and everything that comes [...]
Although this movie reminds me a bit of some TV flicks that you can see during the weekend, trying to get trough your hangover, it is the approach and the general idea that differentiate him from those time killers on TV. Starring Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell (after Moon my new favorite actor ) it [...]
I know, I know, this is the big movie this year, and everyone must have seen it. After so many years Darren Aronofsky finally started getting the recognition that he deserves. But that recognition is gone too far with some people, and he became trendy, which means that every douchebag is going to check out [...]
After many crappy movies that came out lately, The King’s Speech really gave me hope that the movie industry can still make movies that are worth watching. First of all, lets look at the crew consisting of seasoned actors Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush, that`s it. If you took these actors gave them a stick [...]
Another in a line of movies that examines a dysfunctional family, this movie can be slow at times but still delivers. This is a story about the Sinclaire family that consists of a father (masterfully played by J.K. Simmons) and two estranged brothers with very different personalities. Caleb Sinclaire is chain-smoking, nervous and dark person, [...]
This movie is seriously fucked up. It deals with a lot of subjects that are not talked about in the movies in such a blunt way. Pedophilia, strange sexual urges, alienation, midlife crises, and much more will be seen in this movie. But it would be all in vain if it were not for those [...]
This war movie seems to be quite popular. With the success of The Hurt Locker, it is not a surprise. This remake of a Danish movie Brødre is a bit different approach to the war stories in modern cinema. After Sam Cahill leaves on another tour of duty in Afghanistan, his brother comes to live with his [...]
If you are not familiar with the work of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, this movie should fill you in nicely. He was an assisted suicide and euthanasia advocate during the nineties for which he was incarcerated and released from prison in 2007. During his time as an assisted suicide doctor he helped 133 people commit suicide. [...]
When I saw the title of this flick it reminded me of a similar themed movie from 1996 Extreme Measures, but instead of a dumb-ass remake (did anyone said Death At The Funeral), we got a milking drama with sappy theme based on a true story. The director and producers tried to portray the life [...]
This Belgian flick deals with the hardships of one teenager. Constantly bullied and teased in school, he escapes to a different reality, a virtual reality of the game Archlord (This game is an obvious copy of World Of Warcraft, but it actually exists in the real world). There, in the virtual world, he is a mighty [...]
Directed by Clint Eastwood this disturbing drama is packed with excellent actors and magnificent performances. Clint decided to tackle a very serious subject of child abuse, and he did an excellent job. Childhood friends reunite after the death of the daughter of one of them. This event will bring up the memories of their rough [...]
