“Even though I have seen almost all the movies starring Eddie Murphy, I lost all hope for him and his career a long time ago. However, from time to time (not very often though), the once hilarious comedian finally comes up with something slightly more interesting and since I kept hearing some good th” 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, it turned out to be a decent but generic romantic comedy. However, what made it still fairly entertaining was the couple played by Juliette Bino” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t 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, I always had a weak spot for minimalistic movies dealing only with a few characters and there was something quite topical about these few survivors f” read more
Notes: Honestly, before watching this movie, I didn't think I would learn much about the subject. I mean, come on, I have been hearing about Global Warning since I was 12 so I wasn't expecting much. Still, I was actually surprised and, somehow, I thought it was a very efficient documentary. Indeed, there was actually nothing really new about what the ideas and theories they developed in this movie but it was still a good reminder about the current status of our Planet Earth (which is, as you probably already know, pretty bad...). The funny thing is that most of us while watching this flick must have been kind of horrified about the figures and the facts displayed but how many of us truly modified their lifestyle afterwards to make things better? I'm pretty sure almost nobody did anything differently (I sure did not) but it is how it goes, we like to think that we are aware about everything going on around us but we still keep on making the same mistakes. I guess it has something to do with the human nature or maybe we are simply just plain stupid.
“To be honest, I can’t remember why I wanted to check this movie in the first place. I guess it seemed to have a decent reputation so I thought I might as well check it out. Anyway, it turned out to be a gritty thriller with an interesting historical background. Basically, what you get to see is th” read more
Notes: Since it is one of the most highly regarded movies starring Meryl Streep (she even got an academy award for her performance), and I was really eager to watch this flick so I had some rather high expectations. Eventually, I had some rather mixed feelings about the whole thing. Indeed, I really had a hard time caring about the whole thing. Still, Meryl Streep was indeed really terrific and if only for her performance, you should definitely check this movie. On the other hand, I thought that Kevin Kline was rather annoying and, honestly, not really convincing. I know, he plays someone with some psychological issues but I thought he was way too hysterical and he got on my nerves pretty bad. Furthermore, I was wondering where the story was going during the whole thing until the shattering ending. Indeed, the way they ended it was completely heartbreaking but also very powerful. So, I went from being indifferent to being quite fascinated. Eventually, I guess I should re-watch it to make up my mind for good.

Notes: Eventually, it must be one of the weirdest WWII dramas I have ever seen. I mean, half of it was a rather straightforward but still interesting telling of the rising of the Nazis in Poland at the time and the other half was basically some kind of surrealist tale about a strange boy with some unusual gifts. Well, once again, I thought that this mix was just quite spellbinding to behold. Above all, the masterstroke was to find David Bennent to play the main character. Indeed, while watching the damned thing, I was still not able to figure out how old he was, not only because of his appearance but also because of his acting skills which were just as convincing if he would have been a young boy, a teenager or an adult. Eventually, I have discovered that he was not even 13 years old at the time which is just mind-blowing considering the depth of his performance.
