An old man named Zivojin Markovic, living in a remote village prays for his grandson Cane to go to the city, sell his cow and bring back a wife. In the city he is supposed to meet up with his grandfather’s stepbrother, but this man is dead. Instead, he meets this man’s two grandsons, two good-natured brothers who are nevertheless small-time criminals and experts in demolition. Cane soon clicks with these men, and also falls […]

Not the best work of Kusturica but might be the most original from what I’ve seen. The movie stays completely on its own, sometimes gets off the track a bit,…

2009
Comedy

When three friends finally come to after a raucous night of bachelor-party revelry, they find a baby in the closet and a tiger in the bathroom. But they can’t seem to locate their best friend, Doug – who’s supposed to be tying the knot. Launching a frantic search for Doug, the trio perseveres through a nasty hangover to try to make it to the church on time.

This comedy is hyped not without a reason. A very fun and easy watching experience, the humor isn’t cheap and there is a great chemistry between the actors.

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.

Drama

Widower Walt Kowalski is a grumpy, prejudiced, tough-minded, unhappy, old, Korean War veteran who can’t get along with either his kids or his neighbours. His prize possession is a 1972 Gran Torino he keeps in mint condition. When his neighbour, Thao—a young Hmong teenager under pressure from his gang member cousin—tries to steal his Gran Torino, Walt sets out to reform the youth and takes steps to protect Thao and his family from the gangs […]

A very solid movie from Eastwood. It’s rich in social themes and also has a fair amount of action to spice things up.

Comedy, Drama

Set in Edwardian England where upper lips are always stiff and men from the Colonies are not entirely to be trusted, Fisk Senior has little time or affection for his son, but when the pair visit an eccentric Indian, they start a strange journey that eventually allows the old man to find his heart.

Everything about this movie is authentic. The characters, the atmosphere and the spirit of its times. The movie gets too primitive and nostalgic at the end, but I still give…

2008
Action, Crime, Thriller

When a Russian mobster sets up a real estate scam that generates millions of pounds, various members of London’s criminal underworld pursue their share of the fortune. Various shady characters, including Mr One-Two, Stella the accountant, and Johnny Quid, a druggie rock-star, try to claim their slice.

Stylish movie with all the trademarks of Guy Ritchie. It lacks a bit of spirit of Snatch, but it’s nevertheless a well-crafted thriller.

Thriller, Horror, Mystery

After returning from a wedding reception, a couple staying in an isolated vacation house receive a knock on the door in the mid-hours of the night. What ensues is a violent invasion by three strangers, their faces hidden behind masks. The couple find themselves in a violent struggle, in which they go beyond what either of them thought capable in order to survive.

I like the most that the director didn’t bake yet another horror movie, but subtly showed a new open-minded idea. The movie is not predictable. The scenario isn’t like something…

A sociopathic kidnapper methodically pushes a desperate pair of parents to their absolute breaking point.

I had a great time watching this. It has everything a thriller should have. Sharp plot, great acting and smooth execution.

Action, Comedy, Crime, Thriller, Mystery

When a Las Vegas performer-turned-snitch named Buddy Israel decides to turn state’s evidence and testify against the mob, it seems that a whole lot of people would like to make sure he’s no longer breathing.

This movie is what “Deadpool” should have been. Less clichés and stupidity, just action, action, action with fitting jokes. The movie might seem a bit forced, but that’s the director’s…

Crime, Drama

Johnny Truelove likes to see himself as tough. He’s the son of an underworld figure and a drug dealer. Johnny also likes to get tough when things don’t go his way. When Jake Mazursky fails to pay up for Johnny, things get worse for the Mazursky family, as Johnny and his ‘gang’ kidnap Jake’s 15 year old brother and holds him hostage. Problem now is what to do with ‘stolen boy?’

Convincing and realistic movie about gangs which digs deeper than typical movies of this kind.
