There are times when it’s right and proper to simply bury the dead. This is not one of those times… Gram Parsons was one of the most influential musicians of his time; a bitter, brilliant, genius who knew Elvis, tripped with the Stones and fatally overdosed on morphine and tequila in 1973. And from his dying came a story. A story from deep within folklore; a story of friendship, honour and adventure; a story so […]

I guess it was a random movie to fill the ether for the TV channel I was watching, but I’m so happy they introduced me to this. It’s a hilarious…

Drama, Crime, Thriller

Cab driver Max picks up a man who offers him $600 to drive him around. But the promise of easy money sours when Max realizes his fare is an assassin.

OK idea and perfect execution. One of these movies where the main actors really stand up for their names.

1979
Drama, Thriller

San Francisco Bay, January 18, 1960. Frank Lee Morris is transferred to Alcatraz, a maximum security prison located on a rocky island. Although no one has ever managed to escape from there, Frank and other inmates begin to carefully prepare an escape plan.

An example of how to make a jail movie. There isn’t much going on, but the movie manages to build the tension and makes you care about the characters.

Comedy, Horror, Science Fiction

Remember the good old days when anyone with a camera and a few thousand bucks could schlep up to Bronson canyon and quickly make a cheap sci-fi/horror B-movie? Well, they’re back! The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is an affectionate, meticulous re-creation of those notoriously cheesy clunkers, as a gaggle of beloved stereotypes pursue “that rarest of radioactive elements – atmospherium.”

Wanna see an original movie and relax? Then check this out. A group of cool people thought of idea to make a parody of an old movies, and they got…

2003
Action, Crime

An assassin is shot by her ruthless employer, Bill, and other members of their assassination circle – but she lives to plot her vengeance.

A simple but stylish revenge story with… samurai fetish. Wait, wait, don’t get your expectations too high and it should be a good movie to chill.

2002
Crime, Drama

In New York City in the days following the events of 9/11, Monty Brogan is a convicted drug dealer about to start a seven-year prison sentence, and his final hours of freedom are devoted to hanging out with his closest buddies and trying to prepare his girlfriend for his extended absence.

All Spike Lee’s movies I’ve seen are energetically going by the rhythm of the street and with a meaning. This one is no exception, but “Do the Right Thing” and…

2002
Crime, Drama, Thriller

Trapped in their New York brownstone’s panic room, a hidden chamber built as a sanctuary in the event of break-ins, newly divorced Meg Altman and her young daughter Sarah play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with three intruders – Burnham, Raoul and Junior – during a brutal home invasion. But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it.

The action takes place in a house, but the intensity tops many bigger budget thrillers. That’s what happens when a simple-looking script is given to professional hands.

2001
Action, Crime, Drama, Thriller

On his first day on the job as a narcotics officer, a rookie cop works with a rogue detective who isn’t what he appears.

Could be described as one of the better cop movies. The strongest point is the heavyweight acting combo, but the director also has his style, which adds up to the…

1988
Thriller

The wife of an American doctor suddenly vanishes in Paris and, to find her, he navigates a puzzling web of language, locale, laissez-faire cops, triplicate-form filling bureaucrats and a defiant, mysterious waif who knows more than she tells.

Good acting and cinematography, entertaining darkish noir story. Just a solid thriller at first sight, but thanks to Polanski’s attention to details, it’s a strong film after all. It was…

1998
Comedy, Romance

Matko is a small time hustler, living by the Danube with his 17-year-old son Zare. After a failed business deal he owes money to the much more successful gangster Dadan. Dadan has a sister, Afrodita, that he desperately wants to see get married so they strike a deal: Zare is to marry her.

This one has all the trademarks and is the most polished movie of Kusturica, from what I’ve seen. Now, many wouldn’t agree on “polished”, and it’s understandable. This is an…
