Hmmm is it possible to make a good and objective movie about religion with two sides that won’t budge and know-it-alls (or not-know-it-alls) who claim that their response is I don’t know? Working with two major subjects: religion and faithfulness to your spouse, The Ledge has managed to combine them into one powerful movie if [...]

I just don’t know what’s all the fuss about this movie, it isn’t that bad. I think that people expected much more with such names as Bruce Willis and Forest Whitaker and that noir poster, but as always you must lower your expectation with these types of movies. Granted, the movie was counting on a [...]
Although you might get the impression that this movie is quite fast paced and action packed, it is not. So, be prepared to a large portions of it in which almost nothing will happen and some really intense action scenes that make up for that and actually create quite a strong contrast. I am guessing [...]
Is it a haunted house horror, is it a stalker horror, no it’s Dream House! Again with the misleading trailers and posters, you say, and I say can’t help it. The twists in the story are something that should be mildly hinted before watching the movie, if at all. But as we can plainly see [...]
Bruce Willis doing what he does best is the most accurate description of this movie. Based on a novel by Robert Crais, it begins with a noir intro, that slowly introduces the unique style of directing. As the movie progresses we can witness one hell of a thrill ride. Incorporating elements of thriller and action [...]
With all these famous actors this movie could not be bad, and not to mention director Steven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich, Traffic). But before you get all excited a friendly warning, do not watch the trailer, since it is very misleading (as most of them are nowadays), just trust me and check this movie out. This [...]
I just love British cinema, their distinct sense of humor, and tragedy and when you add to that excellent actors, I believe that we have a winner. With the next generation of British actors taking over from old school, I think that there are more and more talented actors and directors out there. This movie [...]
This is a remake of a less known movie Ha-Hov, about three Mossad (CIA of Israel) agents and their hardships with a escaped Nazi doctor. I don’t know who made the poster for this movie, but whoever was that he made a fatal flaw portraying it as an espionage thriller with lots of action and [...]
Starring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman and directed by Joel Schumacher (The Number 23, Phone Booth, 8MM) I had high hopes for this movie, but it turned out to be average hostage situation flick with characters that I would steal from for being douchebags. A rich guy, obsessed with his work, aging wife and a troubled [...]
It is pretty hard to transform a good book into a movie, but if it works it is usually pretty amazing. The autobiography of an infamous British drug dealer Howard Marks was a bestseller, and it is a pretty logical idea to turn it into a movie. But, although the beginning of this movie was [...]
Hey lets mix up bank robbery, romance, action, comedy and mystery in one movie! Sounds quite interesting, doesn’t it? But, in reality, this has to be done with great precision and perfect script with solid acting on top of all that, and in Flypaper we see how this mixture almost made it. First of all, [...]
The Perfect Host is probably the best movie I have seen all year, and it’s going to be hard for any other to top this perfection in a these few months. Do not watch the trailer and do not try to find out more about this movie, it will spoil the fun! Just trust me [...]
Russell Crowe established himself as a pretty sure thing when it comes to thrillers, you know that he will be good, whatever role they give him. It is funny to see someone who started as a leader of a Nazi gang (Romper Stomper) come all this way, but even then you could notice that look [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
When I saw the poster for this movie with Mr. Matthew McConaughey in a lead role I figured that it will be another random boring flick, but seeing it is based on a book, I decided to check it out. And it was surprisingly good thriller, although the title is not much connected to the [...]
Here’s another movie for all you texas holdem, gambling, cheating sons of bitches. It is interesting to see John C. Reilly in another conman movie (the first one was Hard Eight), he seems to be doing rather well in these sorts of movies, especially as a guy who has some brains unlike the rest of [...]
After Taken Liam Neeson continues to kick ass in Europe in this movie. Although it is not connected with Taken, it has almost the same vibe and a bit similar story. Again the budget was pretty big and the movie looks very cool, especially the explosions. It is based on a novel Out of My [...]
The latest Coen brothers movie is finally here (the next one is Gambit in 2012), and I have to say that you need to be a bit warned before checking it out. True Grit is a movie based on a book by Charles Portis, much like its predecessor True Grit from 1969 starring the legendary [...]
