After getting in a car accident, a woman is held in a shelter with two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread chemical attack.

A rare example on how to be unique without being pretentious. Having been filmed in a claustrophobic environment, this movie doesn’t have some kind or forced drama, nor it is…

Thriller, Mystery, Science Fiction

A paranoia-fueled action thriller about an unsuccessful writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret “smart drug” that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his new life in this darkly comic and provocative film.

One of the best mainstream movies of 2011. A real thriller surrounded by slow and boring action dramas. The story is very intriguing, I was bound to the screen in…

Earl Stone, a man in his eighties, is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does so well that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates.

Entertainment! A great example on how to make an action comedy. The script is sharp and intelligent with good execution, and Jonah Hill is hilarious. Not sure if I liked…

If I’m about to watch a mainstream sci-fi movie, I wish it to be like this one. Funny, good-looking, and not too many clichés.

When three friends finally come to after a raucous night of bachelor-party revelry, they find a baby in the closet and a tiger in the bathroom. But they can’t seem to locate their best friend, Doug – who’s supposed to be tying the knot. Launching a frantic search for Doug, the trio perseveres through a nasty hangover to try to make it to the church on time.

This comedy is hyped not without a reason. A very fun and easy watching experience, the humor isn’t cheap and there is a great chemistry between the actors.
