“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Natalie Portman, I was really eager to check it out. To be honest, I think it was pretty obvious that it was only the 2nd directorial effort of Brady Corbet. Indeed, even though there were plenty of good ideas, half of i” read more

“I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of Whitney Houston but since this documentary was directed by Kevin Macdonald, I thought might as well check it out. To be honest, it wasn’t the strongest documentary delivered by Macdonald that I have seen so far but it was still a decent watc” read more
“I already saw this movie but since I just bought a brand new awesome TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, unfortunately, even after rewatching the damned thing, it is still pretty much one of the most disappointing movies coming from the MCU which is such a shame. Indeed, from the” read more
“To be honest, I had some rather low expectations about this sequel but I thought I might as well check it out anyway. Well, eventually, I really didn’t care much for the damned thing, that’s for sure. Seriously, to me, it felt as if Tobe Hooper had been forced to come up with a sequel for his cl” read more
Notes: What a strange and slightly horrific little movie. Indeed, I have to admit that I had actually no idea what it was about and, at first, it seemed to be a rather sweet and poetic look on vintage Paris at the end of the 40's. However, pretty quickly, they started to focus on what was happening behind the doors of a Parisian slaugherhouse and, well, if you ever wondered if you should become a vegetarian, watching this movie would probably seal the deal for you. Seriously, even if it was shot in black-an-white, you could figure out that there was some blood all over the floor where these men were working and, each time they cut the throat of one of these beasts, liters of more blood were coming out. And, yet, there is no denying that the mix of these poetic scenes of Paris combined with these realistic but really rough footage of animal slaughtering was really striking. Indeed, even though we never really think about it, while we go about our everyday life, there is a whole world of blood and violent deaths going on in the background, just to make sure that we have some juicy steaks in our plates. Still, there is nothing more natural than killing an animal to eat it later on, at least, as long as you are not vegetarian.
