In the not-too-distant future the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. A poor young man who comes into a fortune of time, though too late to help his mother from dying. He ends up on the run from a corrupt police force known as […]

A good movie from the writer of The Truman Show. Good, but not great. To begin with, the bad guy is very typical. A serious criminal with badass sidekicks in…

Adventure, Comedy, Science Fiction

For the past 60 years, a space-traveling smart-ass named Paul has been locked up in a top-secret military base, advising world leaders about his kind. But when he worries he’s outlived his usefulness and the dissection table is drawing uncomfortably close, Paul escapes on the first RV that passes by his compound in Area 51. Fortunately, it contains the two earthlings who are most likely to rescue and harbor an alien on the run.

A fun British road movie with aliens, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Drama, Romance

Johnny is a successful banker with great respect for and dedication to the people in his life, especially his future wife Lisa. The happy-go-lucky guy sees his world fall apart when his friends begin to betray him one-by-one.

Hyped as the worst movie ever, this is the best worst movie ever. Not sure if that‘s what Wiseau wanted to create, but the movie definitely stands out in a…

2010
Thriller, Mystery

A writer stumbles upon a long-hidden secret when he agrees to help former British Prime Minister Adam Lang complete his memoirs on a remote island after the politician’s assistant drowns in a mysterious accident.

Polanski’s more concentrated than ever. Maybe too much. The movie has everything, but it’s cold, and that’s a bit of a problem to me. I just didn’t care about the…

2009
Drama, Comedy

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…

Crime, Drama, Mystery

Christine Collins is overjoyed when her kidnapped son is brought back home. But when Christine suspects that the boy returned to her isn’t her child, the police captain has her committed to an asylum.

Good actors, careful execution, all the things you could expect from Eastwood are here, except the story which is a bit lacking to my taste. I better like other Eastwood’s…

Adventure, Thriller, Science Fiction

Ray Ferrier is a divorced dockworker and less-than-perfect father. Soon after his ex-wife and her new husband drop off his teenage son and young daughter for a rare weekend visit, a strange and powerful lightning storm touches down.

That’s how I want a good mainstream sci-fi to be. Luxurious looking, entertaining and not going into drama too much. Acting, story and effects are good too.

Drama, Thriller, Mystery, Action

With no clue how he came to be imprisoned, drugged and tortured for 15 years, a desperate businessman seeks revenge on his captors.

Solid, but overrated movie. Not the best from Chan Wook Park. Technically, his unique style is there, but the movie is just needlessly hysteric, something many Asian films suffer from.…

1957
Drama

The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors’ prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.

Didn’t seem one of the best movies ever like one could judge from IMDB, but the idea is universal, the acting and the screenplay are solid. That’s why it got…

Drama, Horror, Mystery, Science Fiction

Kate and Matt discover that a part of their house can grant wishes. In the wake of several miscarriages, what they want most is a child.

A very good idea with a lacking execution. The movie is just a bit too dull. I think we would see a much better movie given a bigger budget, but…
