The story of the miraculous evacuation of Allied soldiers from Belgium, Britain, Canada and France, who were cut off and surrounded by the German army from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk between May 26th and June 4th 1940 during World War II.

Amazing achievement in visuals. I watched the whole movie because of it, but it’s not like the movie doesn’t need a better scenario. It does. I understand the idea to…

Adventure, Fantasy, Action

Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit enjoying his quiet life, is swept into an epic quest by Gandalf the Grey and thirteen dwarves who seek to reclaim their mountain home from Smaug, the dragon.

Not quite the same Lord of the Rings. There’s a lot of Americanism in it to please the mainstream, and so it lands among typical Hollywood’s movies.

When mankind beams a radio signal into space, a reply comes from ‘Planet G’, in the form of several alien crafts that splash down in the waters off Hawaii. Lieutenant Alex Hopper is a weapons officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones, part of an international naval coalition which becomes the world’s last hope for survival as they engage the hostile alien force of unimaginable strength. While taking on the invaders, Hopper must also […]

Average mainstream scenario with good effects. I was watching it to chill and it ended up better than some kind of "Jack Reacher", "Battle Los Angeles" or "Total Recall".

Cobb, a skilled thief who commits corporate espionage by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets is offered a chance to regain his old life as payment for a task considered to be impossible: “inception”, the implantation of another person’s idea into a target’s subconscious.

Not a fan of it. This movie tries to be so twisted with a dream in a dream thing that it fires back, becomes boring and ends up like a…

1991
Comedy, Drama

An anthology of 5 different cab drivers in 5 American and European cities and their remarkable fares on the same eventful night.

Not everything Jarmusch tries is successful. There’s something missing in this movie and the slow pace doesn’t really pay off.

Delphine is the author of an autobiographical novel that has become a bestseller. Exhausted by the promotional tour, just when she feels out of place, paralyzed by the idea of having to start writing again, she meets Elle, a young, attractive, intelligent, intuitive woman who seems to understand her better than anyone.

I am a fan of Polanski but this is one of his weakest films. It has a darkish mysterious theme from his other movies but the story is lacking and…

Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares to do battle with the First Order.

I don’t like modern Star Wars. They have a bit of something from other action movies of our days, and then something from the old school Star Wars. After all,…

Action, Crime

After being coerced into working for a crime boss, a young getaway driver finds himself taking part in a heist doomed to fail.

Should have liked this if I haven’t seen Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. This movie is just the cheaper mainstream version of the later.

Crime, Horror, Thriller

A group of teens break into a blind man’s home thinking they’ll get away with the perfect crime. They’re wrong.

An overrated horror movie. Acting and filming are better than average, but the movie doesn’t show anything new and still belongs to the B category.

Comedy, Drama, Mystery

When a Hollywood star mysteriously disappears in the middle of filming, the studio sends their “fixer” to get him back. Set in the 1950s, the story was inspired by the career of Eddie Mannix (1891–1963).

A generally OK movie, but a disappointment from Coens. The movie is too light and without a clear direction.
