If you like to explore and experiment Sector 7 is a movie for you. Also if you like monster flicks you will like it, if for nothing else than for silly humor and situations. First of all, although the movie tries to be serious with a bit of humor sprinkled on top, I urge you [...]

Apollo 18 is yet another movie with so called true premise, that isn’t exactly true. In this case most of the facts were made up and what was true was cleverly used in plot. So I think that they should stop misleading people with these “true”. Also it is following a now popular genre set [...]
Can one great idea (presumably not stolen) be the basis of a great movie, is the question, and the answer yes, but that idea cannot be the only thing in the movie! In Time has that idea, but the rest of the movie is full of plot holes, and “suspend belief” moments. Written and directed [...]
“Hey Sweden! They’re not Swedish, Mac. They’re Norwegian.” Just after the release of this movie I checked out the buzz and it was bad, “true fans” of the “original” movie kept whining about this version. Now, after I watched the new 2011 The Thing, I can say that it’s good, really good, and definitely worth [...]
Advertised as a new masterpiece, coming to us from Steven Spielberg and involving aliens this movie is exactly the same as its title. Even history channel plugged it into its show Ancient Aliens, or they used it for promotion of the show, nevertheless this circle-jerk was pretty lame. First of all there is no way [...]
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 [...]
After all the hype about this movie it seems that it has fallen into oblivion after it destroyed the box offices, but be sure that before the release on any given media we will be fucked in the ass without lubricant by commercial industry. This is one of the rare movies that suffered the hype [...]
Although you might think that this is just another eighties flick, you are wrong. With a great and very original story, full of twists and turns it keeps fast paced action and mystery ’till the end. And when you add aliens to this story you get strangely good creature movie. The cast is excellent and [...]
Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Total Recall, Screamers) The Adjustment Bureau is a perfect example of how you can butcher a perfectly good idea and turn it into a romantic piece of shit. I just had to get that out my system, because I love Dick`s stories so much, [...]
This modern version of Frankenstein is something that I very much enjoyed. Although it has a pretty low score on IMDb, I think that it is worth watching, if for nothing else than for special effects that were breathtaking. Starting with the creature itself and continuing with other creations that looked very much alive and [...]
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 [...]
And here is the big movie from 2010, I checked it out recently and wanted to see it for a second time, to write a better and more balanced review. The hype that this movie produced is similar to Black Swan nowadays, and I think that all those reviews are written by people still under [...]
With the upcoming remake (or reboot, redraw whatever the fuck they call it) of this movie, it is prime time to check out the original movie starring the irreplaceable Sylvester Stallone ( I mean that in a funny context) and Max von Sydow (not funny, he is great). I think that they could have use [...]
This movie was so close to the so bad that it is good category that it is unbelievable… The only thing that saved it was a big budget, and the fact that it is about an alien invasion, and those are the only two elements that I found interesting and worth watching. The script is [...]
Ahhh, the eighties, a beautiful decade that yielded many great movies, and this is one of them. I have seen it a long time ago and since then it had a special place in my heart. It in many ways transcends its script and creates a universe of its own, that only the movies from [...]
This Swiss science fiction movie is one step from perfection, but it shows that even that one step is too much if its too big. Everything is done very well, the atmosphere, the special effects, and the whole vibe of the spaceship. Than you would think it is the acting that is bad, but that [...]
Based on a short story by Richard Matheson, this very original thriller/science fiction movie is really strange. Although the story is excellent, and by that I mean the box thing the rest is pretty usual, this movie could not hold a decent pace. And it fails to deliver the expected amounts of suspense and vibe. Acting [...]
Many will argue that John Carpenter started to lose it with this flick, and that is true to some extent. There a lot of inconsistencies that plague the movie, and that are plain overlooked. For me the most annoying thing was something that I could not quite define, and than it hit, its the camera. [...]
I think that only the latest Screamers movie was something that I hated and is based on stories of Philip K. Dick (A Scanner Darkly, Impostor, Screamers, Total Recall,Blade Runner). Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise and Max von Sydow, this movie could not fail. Well I guess that big budget and great [...]
You knew that this day would come, and it came. Huh, I did not see Avatar in 3d, or in a theater or under the influence of drugs, and I guess that influenced my review greatly. First of all I must separate two aspects of this movie, one is the special effects and the second [...]
