“Since I’m a huge fan of Paul Thomas Anderson’s work, I was really eager to see this movie. Unfortunately, pretty much like with ‘Phantom Thread’, ‘Inherent Vice’ and ‘The Master’, even though I admired the work done, to be honest, the damned thing never really grabbed me though. For ” read more
“This movie was not really a priority for me but my wife was really eager to see it. First of all, to be honest, I have never been a huge fan of Elvis Presley, I was also rather oblivious about his career so it was pretty cool to see a movie dealing with all the important moments of his life. I espec” read more

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I really struggled to care about the damned thing and I’m amazed that they managed to get all these actors (Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Adam” read more
Only directed one movie... but very interesting (36 person items)"I would also suggest: Herbert G. Ponting with 'The Great White Silence' (1922)"
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seemed to have a decent reputation (it is included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list among other things), I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, I was at first rather annoyed that the only avail” read more
Notes: To be honest, I was at first rather annoyed that the only available version available on YouTube was colorized. However, I have to admit that, as soon as they got to Antarctica, the damned thing looked amazing with these vast white landscapes against this bright blue sky. I also expected these explorers to go straight to the South Pole but it was interesting that they first settled for a while in Antarctica when they arrived. Seriously, I forgot how long they stayed there but they definitely spent many months out there before finally starting their final journey to the South Pole. This way, it allowed Herbert Ponting to shoot so many interesting scenes displaying some incredible landscapes and some of the fauna that you can find in this remote region. While watching the damned thing, I actually forgot that it was the very first time that anyone shot this kind of images in this particular place which makes this movie historically incredibly valuable. Anyway, at last, during the final act, they did really go up to the South Pole and the whole team who went there, well, they all died actually. Not only it was surprising because it was definitely a tragic outcome for an otherwise rather cheerful expedition but it was a shot in a way that you (at least, I did) believed that Ponting also came along but it wasn’t in the case so how did they come up with this footage? Eventually, it seems that a lot of it was staged, just like with ‘Nanook of the North, another documentary dealing with the Artic also released in the 20’s.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Gerard Butler, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I have to admit that the damned thing was not bad after all. Sure, it is obvious that it was vastly inspired by ‘Heat’ (they even ended with ” read more
