2012
Drama, Science Fiction

A set of six nested stories spanning time between the 19th century and a distant post-apocalyptic future. Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. […]

I’ve seen people saying how The Matrix is better, but I have to say yes and no. It is better for action. I noticed this movie tried to be Matrix…

2012
Comedy, Crime

A struggling screenwriter inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends kidnap a gangster’s beloved Shih Tzu.

A lighter version of In Bruges, from the same director. The scenario is above average for these kind of movies – funny and not too stupid – but the cast…

1967
Drama, Fantasy, Horror

A young priest is ordered to preside over the wake of a witch in the church of a remote village. This means spending three nights alone with the corpse with only his faith to protect him.

A nice finding on a TV. It’s a classic horror story with a good script and the right spirit for such movies.

Drama, Comedy

A true story of two men who should never have met – a quadriplegic aristocrat who was injured in a paragliding accident and a young man from the projects.

This movie was a big deal in the world of critics, and there is a reason. The other movies just lack the emotional strength of this. Simply put, it has…

An accomplished headhunter risks everything to obtain a valuable painting owned by a former mercenary..

One of the best Scandinavian action movies I’ve seen. While borrowing some entertainment from the Hollywood, it’s so minimalistically stylish and well executed that its pace seemed much faster than…

A criminal on the run cons his way into the wrong dinner party where the host is anything but ordinary.

An intelligent movie about an intelligent psycho. Entertaining, fun and wicked, just like you’d expect it to be, and you also get a great acting and unpredictable script. All of…

2011
Comedy, Crime

For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers… permanently.

This this an advanced and successful American comedy. Not too many clichés, the scenario is nice and everything about this movie is just fun.

Drama, Romance

A hotel room in the center of Rome serves as the setting for Alba and Natasha, two young and recently acquainted women, to have a physical adventure that touches their very souls.

*ahem* I chose this movie for the obvious reasons, but it turned out to be more than you could expect. The beginning was kinda boring, the actors didn’t seem up…
