Drama, Action, Comedy, Crime

A crooked cop, a mob boss and the young girl they abuse are the denizens of a city’s criminal underworld. It’s a world that ordinary Arthur Poppington doesn’t understand and doesn’t belong in, but is committed to fighting when he changes into a vigilante super-hero of his own making, Defendor. With no power other than courage Defendor takes to the streets to protect the city’s innocents.

An intelligent take on superhero black comedy. It’s hard to imagine this movie without Harrelson, but I also like the director’s choice not to over-dramatize. Better than Kick-Ass, I’d say,…

Drama, Thriller, Mystery

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…

Comedy, Drama, Horror

18th century justice catches up with a pair of grave robbers. With only a few hours to go before his date with the guillotine, Arthur Blake (Monaghan) tells his life story to Father Francis Duffy (Ron Perlman). Before long, Arthur spills the beans on how he got started in the grim corpse peddling business with seasoned ghoul Willie Grimes.

A hilarious comedy that doesn’t follow any of the Hollywood’s rules. The humor is dark without going into drama as opposed to many movies of this genre.

It is 1967, and Larry Gopnik, a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by his wife Judith that she is leaving him. She has fallen in love with one of his more pompous acquaintances Sy Ableman.

It doesn’t get any better than this. The most personal and the best movie from my favorite directors and could the best movie I have ever seen. It’s going to…

Sang-hyun, a respected priest, volunteers for an experimental procedure that may lead to a cure for a deadly virus. He gets infected and dies, but a blood transfusion of unknown origin brings him back to life as a vampire. Now, Sang-hyun is torn between faith and bloodlust, and has a newfound desire for Tae-ju, the wife of his childhood friend.

Chan Wook Park was making this for like ten years, and he surely has his arguments. The movie is very polished, mature and works on many different levels. A bit…

After the screening in Cannes, half of the people applauded while the other half booed. And they all are right in a way, Von Trier loves to be controversial. But…

With only three weeks left in his three year contract, Sam Bell is getting anxious to finally return to Earth. He is the only occupant of a Moon-based manufacturing facility along with his computer and assistant, GERTY. When he has an accident however, he wakens to find that he is not alone.

One of the best movies ever. Sam Rockwell was so good that I don’t need any more actors here. Most of the time he just talks with a robot (voiced…

A teacher opens a time capsule that has been dug up at his son’s elementary school; in it are some chilling predictions — some that have already occurred and others that are about to — that lead him to believe his family plays a role in the events that are about to unfold.

Misleading poster hides a little gem. While it has some patterns of a big budget movies, it certainly stays on its own with a dramatic and intelligent storyline in the…

Drama

An average guy of an Estonian high-school decides to defend his bullied classmate. This starts war between him and the informal leader of the class. As teenagers’ honour is a touchy thing, everything ends in bloodshed.

When I went to this movie as a school trip, I expected to see another moral story about bullying. But just after the first minutes, the movie got me and…

Ray and Ken, two hit men, are in Bruges, Belgium, waiting for their next mission. While they are there they have time to think and discuss their previous assignment. When the mission is revealed to Ken, it is not what he expected.

A top class British comedy, taking place in Bruges. It has an amazing cast, entertaining script, a perfect execution, but that’s not it. The best part is how they manage…
