“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, I didn't expect to be blown away like this. To be honest, it's not an easy movie, in fact, it turned out to be a very complex character study and I'm not sure if it really required almost 3 hours” read more
“I have noticed that many classic movies starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are available on YouTube and since I loved these guys so much when I was a kid, I thought it would be the opportunity to rediscover their work. This short was, at the time, so popular that they would make a sequel the next” read more

Notes: It turned out to be pretty good but, to be honest, it was so distracting how similar âTitanicâ was similar to this movie. Eventually, I have to admit I have never been a huge fan of this massive classic but, at least, I always though it was an accurate depiction of this tragedy. Well, suddenly, I discovered that, 40 years before, there was already a super accurate movie about these events, with a fraction of the same budget and with no CGI available. Sure, James Cameron did admit that this movie was an âinspirationâ but I think it went much further than that though. Indeed, there were at least 5 or 6 âiconicâ scenes from Cameronâs classic which were clearly lifted from this movie and, as far as Iâm concerned, his movie was basically a remake to which he added a rather cheesy and unnecessary love story. In this case, they went for a much more documentary-like approach with no main characters or bad guys involved and this approach was so much more satisfying. Still, even though I did appreciate the work done, Iâm still not sure if it was such a fascinating story though. Anyway, Iâm rather amazed that this movie doesnât get more credit and it is rightfully considered the best movie about the Titanic tragedy.

“I have to admit I had never heard of this movie but since it seems to have a decent reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, first of all, I made a mistake, I didnât know this movie was originally in black-and-white and I saw instead a colorized version on YouTube. Unfortunately, ” read more

“I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was directed by David O. Russell, I was really eager to check it out. I have noticed that this movie didnât get much love when it was released and, well, to be honest, I would have to agree with the critics on this one. I mean, itâ” read more
“I wasnât expecting much from this flick but since this sequel was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. I actually saw the first instalment in the movie theater because my wife really loved the trailer at the time but, to be honest, I barely remember the damned thing except” read more
