When Mickey does not throw his first fight as agreed, an infuriated Brick Top demands another match. Meanwhile, gangster Frankie Four Fingers comes to place a bet for a friend with Brick Top’s bookies, as multiple criminals converge on a stolen diamond that Frankie has come to London to sell.

One of the best Guy Ritchie’s movies, funny, subtle and full of action from start to finish. Every actor did a great job, as well as the operator(s).

1999
Drama

A ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a slippery soap salesman channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground “fight clubs” forming in every town, until an eccentric gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.

Lives up to its name. It seems like a cool action thriller at first, then it comes to a funny riot idea, and then it turns out to be more…

Science Fiction, Drama

The near future, a time when both hope and hardships drive humanity to look to the stars and beyond. While a mysterious phenomenon menaces to destroy life on planet Earth, astronaut Roy McBride undertakes a mission across the immensity of space and its many perils to uncover the truth about a lost expedition that decades before boldly faced emptiness and silence in search of the unknown.

In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds” are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds, lead by Lt. Aldo Raine soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.

Like many stuff from Tarantino, it shouldn’t be taken seriously. And then it’s a luxurious action packed thriller to enjoy.

1994
Horror, Drama, Fantasy

A vampire relates his epic life story of love, betrayal, loneliness, and dark hunger to an over-curious reporter.

Atmospheric and gothic. That’s the words that first come to mind. It’s nicely shot, the acting is good as expected, and the movie isn’t too cheesy like the similar movie…

Los Angeles, 1969. TV star Rick Dalton, a struggling actor specializing in westerns, and stuntman Cliff Booth, his best friend, try to survive in a constantly changing movie industry. Dalton is the neighbor of the young and promising actress and model Sharon Tate, who has just married the prestigious Polish director Roman Polanski…

Just terrible. Looks like Tarantino wanted to make a movie without scenario just to pay the homage to 1970s. And he succeeded in recreating the style and atmosphere, but a…
