The Cabin in the Woods (2011) - Rated 01 Apr 2013
Great beginning. Not so horrifying, occasionally scary, always quite humorous. It answers the eternal question "Why are people so incredibly stupid in horror movies?". For example, why does everybody in the group suddenly agree to split up into separate rooms where they can be murdered one by one? Why? The movie finally lets us know. The two "sets" or the two "views" of the movie complement each other very nicely. Aaand, it has a great beginning. With nerds.

Love (2011) - Rated 24 Mar 2013
Good atmosphere, pretty nice set (although of course they don't get the gravity thing right), good cinematography. But, nothing happens for a very long time. Then when things happen they are not very believable. Old diaries showing up on the ISS. Strange forms of radio interference. Overall unbearable. After one hour of watching I had to stop. In a way, this movie is the opposite of Moon despite having similar ingredients.

Virtuality (2009) - Rated 23 Mar 2013
Sort of OK, but it really feels like a pilot, there are so many narrative threads left hanging that at the end of the movie you are left with a dissatisfied feeling. I did like the Big Brother in Space theme. It felt pretty realistic. The spaceship design and decoration is a bit laughable. Paper books? Ikea like furniture? When every gram you send in orbit counts this is not believable at all.

Fargo (1996) - Rated 23 Mar 2013
Slice of life from a faraway place. Brilliant acting by William Macy, Frances McDormand and Steve Buscemi. Mostly funny, a bit horrifying at times (it is a BLACK comedy after all).

Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) - Rated 23 Mar 2013
Great actress and all, but the story does not hold together. Rambling, disconnected, overplays the cute magic dreamy child card.
