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.…
God lives in Brussels. On Earth though, God is a coward, with pathetical morals and being odious with his family. His daughter, Ea, is bored at home and can’t stand being locked up in a small apartment in ordinary Brussels, until the day she decides to revolt against her dad…
An improvement from Mr. Nobody, which was too experimental for my taste. This one is lighter, less pretentious, but not less rich in its ideas. And it also has a…
In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds… and remembers.
An outlooked movie from del Toro, better than The Shape of Water. It’s a gothic tale with strong lead performances and gorgeous cinematography. The movie is more like art rather…
In an alternate universe where twinned worlds have opposite gravities, a young man battles interplanetary prejudice and the laws of physics in his quest to reunite with the long-lost girl of his dreams in this visually stunning romantic adventure that poses the question: what if love was stronger than gravity?

An adventure set in the early part of the 20th century, focused on a popular novelist and her dealings with would-be suitors, the cops, monsters, and other distractions.
A different movie from Besson, but among his finest. Kind of the family adventure movie you’d like to see. Isn’t too childish, has a solid plot, great acting and cinematography.…
On the run after murdering a man, accountant William Blake encounters a strange North American man named Nobody who prepares him for his journey into the spiritual world.
Philosophical surreal journey to another world. Great music and acting, but there are some cheap scenes that stop me from giving the highest rating.
A vampire relates his epic life story of love, betrayal, loneliness, and dark hunger to an over-curious reporter.
Atmospheric and gothic. That’s the words that first come to mind. It’s nicely shot, the acting is good as expected, and the movie isn’t too cheesy like the similar movie…
