88 T9 District 9 (2009) - Nov 26, 2010
"South African cinema backed with a budget. A fine movie made by neil bloemkanp, a Johannesburg resident. Probably the only quality to come out of lower Africa. A well paced,well acted, great sci fi movie that makes you think. A must see!"
90 T10 The Lives of Others (2006) - Nov 09, 2011
"This movie in my eyes is near cinematic perfection. German cinema has always had its share of good movies, but this one ( along with das boot) stand out for me. Gripping story telling, top notch acting , intense atmospheric scenes, clever writing... A tad bit better than der Untergang, also released at about the same time. A must see for anyone who is a fan of cinema."
69 T4 The Village (2004) - Feb 04, 2012
"This movies got a lot of things going for it n star studded cast with a whole load of Oscar winners or soon to be winners) ,and some of the best costume/set design/cinematography of the decade.Unfortunately the director couldn't just make some awesome time piece movie with a dark, gritty revenge story or something, he had to pull the twist on the end, which has unfortunately become his trademark , making it predictable. But beside the ending, and the sometimes slow pacing its still entertaining"
60 T2 Laid to Rest (2009) - Dec 03, 2011
"A nice litl romp stomp of a horror movie. Plenty of blood, plenty of guts, anda a half believable story. Pacing is good, acting is fine, and the killer's mask is pretty bad ass, unfortunately thas about the only thing cool about him. For the horror fans."
90 T10 Character (1997) - Jul 13, 2011
"All the time I ask myself why , why did mike van diem make 1 short movie ( Alaska ), 1 full length ( being this one) which won all these huge awards ( including an Oscar) , and never do something close to cinema again? The set pieces! The acting! The script! The atmospheric tension building! A masterpiece. If not the best , one of the best Dutch movies out there.A must watch for all cinema lovers!"
63 T2 Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) - Jul 13, 2011
"Dear lord why does mike bay HAVE to make these long ass movies. One word to describe this film? Exhausting. Or how about tedious. Its the same action weve seen before in overload, and not much else. Tho the script is a tad bit better than the horrendous part Deux.Second time i watched it i did enjoy it more, but maybe it was because it was at home, and i could press pause. "
60 T2 The Tourist (2010) - May 29, 2011
"Highest paid award winning actor combined with highest paid award winning actress and a (so far) good director, what do we get? Mediocre and predictable. What a waste of talent. Shows how a movie looks when it lacks any form of originality or uniqueness."
60 T2 Lebanon (2010) - Sep 12, 2010
"Mediocre jewish cinema schlock. tho well made , overall a mayor yawn. Lets see if criticker removes my review, i said it was jewish cinema schlock on IMDB and they removed my review! how about that. them Jews are everywhere!"
84 T8 Bound (1996) - Nov 26, 2010
"A great noir/thriller. The first attempt at proper cinema by the wachowski's , later to direct the amazing Matrix. The style shows, the script is solid, and the uber-hottie gina gershon combined with jennifer tilly and joe pantoliano makes a fine movie!! Worth watching more than once. "
91 T10 Drive (2011) - Nov 09, 2011
"Drive comes close to cinematic perfection. Films are like a puzzle, and in this one all the pieces fit A simple story,a damsel in distress who is saved by a lonely hero,is given the violent urban area of LA as the backdrop.The outcome?Best movie of 2011.Gosling is amazing as the lead,mulligan is captivating as the damsel.Good script (with alot of backstory, read up!) ,only bad thing is the pacing but once your into it youll never get out.A must see for all!And what a soundtrack! Holy smokes!!"
