Here we have another monster flick that was pretty good in its decade. Although some of the effects may seem a bit outdated at this time, they are still very pleasant to the eye and they look pretty decent in comparison with some of the recent movie blunders. Although it is based on a book, [...]
I wonder how many more movies will be made with the same tagline of what would guys do for pussy? Although this is a bit harsh for this lightweight comedy, that is based on a book, it still is justified since the movie uses the same subject. Nick Twisp is another desolate, loser teenager with [...]
This combination of a horror and thriller flick is something that you can watch when you run out of really good movies. Acting was pretty lame, especially Kevin Costner was very boring, he looked liked he has smoked a big ass joint and than bummed out about the movie. The script resembles Tommyknockers with the [...]
Directed by Clint Eastwood this disturbing drama is packed with excellent actors and magnificent performances.

Although it does not follow a classical path for a movie of this genre, Triage is still a very interesting movie to watch. It follows two photo reporters that find themselves in Kurdistan, in the war zone. Documenting struggles of the rebels against Saddam, they are in a position to see some disturbing scenes. Upon [...]
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 [...]
The Soloist is a very difficult movie to watch. 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 [...]
Although his previous movie Black Sheep was a beautiful bloody mess, Jonathan King decided to take a different path with this one. Based on a book, Under the Mountain has a more of children’s flick fell to it. The idea and the script are very good, and with a decent budget, this movie, visually really [...]

Another great adaptation of another great post apocalyptic novel. This time there is no room for humor (like in A Boy And His Dog), or anything hopeful. Only thing that remains is the gray sky and the gray shades of people. The demolished cities and vast emptiness of the land are the scenery. A father [...]
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, [...]
When you read the title of the movie you know it is going to be good. I mean this is not some marketing scheme, but it has an actual connection to the story. Before I start reviewing the movie a few notes on its authenticity. The events about the research of the paranormal and its [...]
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 forgotten blast from the past you must not miss. It served as an inspiration for the developers of the Fallout video games, and if you played them it will be that much better for you. I just love that post apocalyptic vibe, everything destroyed and the few groups of survivors fighting for what is [...]
Nick Cassavetes directed another movie that deals with illness (first one was John Q), this time he created a true masterpiece. After her daughter Kate was diagnosed with cancer, her mother Sara will try everything in her power to keep her alive, even if that means giving birth to another daughter that will be used [...]
This French horror flick featuring Sophie Marceau is highly underrated. Although it is not grand it certainly deserves a better rating. After uncovering some strange artifacts in Egypt (where else would they find an ancient demon Belphegor), that were later on brought to Louvre, an apparition starts to haunt the place. It is up to [...]
One of the rare Viking flicks that is good. I mean come on, Pathfinder, Outlander and other blunders are just awful, in fact Pathfinder will be soon in the section Movies So Bad That Are Good, fucking Viking Doctor Dolittle. Back to this awesome flick, Ahmad Ibn Fadlan will join the Norse warriors in their attempts [...]
