The Boat That Rocked is an ensemble comedy, where the romance is between the young people of the 60s, and pop music. It’s about a band of DJs that captivate Britain, playing the music that defines a generation and standing up to a government that wanted control of popular culture via the British Broadcasting Corporation. Loosely based on the events in Britain in the 60’s when the Labour government of Harold Wilson, wanted to bring […]

This film doesn’t have a meaning, nor does it have a special script, but it’s a fun to watch. It has charming characters, classy sounds and the spirit of the…

1991
Comedy, Drama

An anthology of 5 different cab drivers in 5 American and European cities and their remarkable fares on the same eventful night.

Comedy, Drama, Mystery

When a Hollywood star mysteriously disappears in the middle of filming, the studio sends their “fixer” to get him back. Set in the 1950s, the story was inspired by the career of Eddie Mannix (1891–1963).

Comedy, Drama

The Grand Budapest Hotel tells of a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars and his friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the battle for an enormous family fortune and the slow and then sudden upheavals that transformed Europe during the first half of the 20th century.

I see how Wes Anderson wanted to repeat the success of Moonrise Kingdom and how this movie had a lot of potential. But the main problem is that the story…

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…
