World War II soldier-turned-U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels investigates the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane, but his efforts are compromised by his troubling visions and also by a mysterious doctor.

A professionally done spooky movie from Scorsese. If you watch twisted psychological movies, it shouldn’t surprise you with its script, but the execution and acting are so well that I…

Western, Drama, Adventure

In the 1820s, a frontiersman, Hugh Glass, sets out on a path of vengeance against those who left him for dead after a bear mauling.

Worth the Oscar? I don’t know. But it’s a great effort from Inarritu and DiCaprio. The scenes are beautiful, the screenplay is smooth and precise.

Cobb, a skilled thief who commits corporate espionage by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets is offered a chance to regain his old life as payment for a task considered to be impossible: “inception”, the implantation of another person’s idea into a target’s subconscious.

Not a fan of it. This movie tries to be so twisted with a dream in a dream thing that it fires back, becomes boring and ends up like a…

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…
