Mini-Review: While I by no means consider 'Hugo' a masterpiece I do find Scorsese's love of cinema rather heart warming and feel sympathetic towards his urge to educate the public on the matter through his very public love affair with movies. I'm not sure the choice to make this an all out childrens movie was the right one since it kind of ends up between two chairs. It's charm does not deny itself however, and i find it a nice gesture to lend an old and long gone director a voice.

Mini-Review: Every boxing movie cliché in the book put together to make a movie well suited for kids whose childhood was spent on pokémon and daytime anime and their early teens in front of their Xbox 360. So if you watched Akira and played Mike Tysons Punch Out during your childhood, I guess you better stay clear of this. If your kids nag you to take them to see this: Bring along a smartphone of some sorts and watch 'Over the Top' on it. I don't know how to get you through the last 34 minutes, though. Sorry

Mini-Review: The movie that taught us that if you want a child, make it yourself. Don't hire a nanny, raise it yourself. And if it shows interest in entering politics...stab it with knives.

Mini-Review: It's teenage angst meets gothic romanticism in a splendid mix of fairy tale narrative, beautiful expressionist cinematography and horrible pastel-coloured 1950s suburbia. Depp is great as the ever so charming little gothic fish-out-of-water with a heart as sweet as a cookie and the rest of the cast delivers as well. Also: Great score from Danny Elfman and Vincent Price's last performance on the big screen is not to be missed.

Mini-Review: Musical documentary from the good ol' days where even the hardened criminals were good honest christians. Cash's songs will stand the test of time and I think as time passes the interviews with the inmates about their lives and with the prison ward about how they're killed off, will only make this film even more memorable and thought provoking.
