Crime, Drama, Mystery, Western

Bounty hunters seek shelter from a raging blizzard and get caught up in a plot of betrayal and deception.

I’ll go ahead and say this is one of the best movies from Tarantino. I see how it may seem lacking due to being set in a small environment, but…

Drama, Thriller

A convert to Islam sends the U.S. government a tape showing him in three nondescript storage rooms, each of which may contain a nuclear bomb set to detonate in less than a week. Helen Brody, an FBI agent in L.A., is tasked with finding the bombs while a CIA “consultant”, known as H, interrogates the suspect who has allowed himself to be caught. The suspect, whose wife and children have left him and disappeared, seems […]

Sharp, intense and terrifying psychological thriller. The political theme could be felt, but there are a lot of food for thought. The performances are extremely realistic and it’s a very…

1989
Drama

Salvatore “Sal” Fragione is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin’ Out, becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria’s Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin’ Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin’ Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise.

An exceptionally energetic and hilarious movie that is also a strong drama where you can feel the tension rising until it reaches the culmination. I didn‘t like the ending, but…

A teenager finds himself transported to an island where he must help protect a group of orphans with special powers from creatures intent on destroying them.

I was intrigued from the start, but then followed a second quarter filled with clichés to the extent that I started to think turning it off. Lucky me I didn’t.…

Drama, Action, Thriller, War

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.

The OSSA discovers a spacecraft thought to be at least 300 years old at the bottom of the ocean. Immediately following the discovery, they decide to send a team down to the depths of the ocean to study the space craft. They are the best of best, smart and logical, and the perfect choice to learn more about the spacecraft.

Very interesting movie. Not only in its idea, but how it goes from good to bad, and back to good. The beginning is a very entertaining sci-fi mystery thriller, the…

1994
Thriller, Crime

A burger-loving hit man, his philosophical partner, a drug-addled gangster’s moll and a washed-up boxer converge in this sprawling, comedic crime caper. Their adventures unfurl in three stories that ingeniously trip back and forth in time.

Not sure if it’s worth this amount of attention, but yah, it’s good and has one of the strongest scripts compared to his other movies.
