The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Notes: I remember perfectly when I saw this flick the first time. Back then, I just started to live in the Netherlands and I came back to France for the Christmas holidays. For the 1st installment, my best buddy had no idea what to expect but, this time, he was just dying to watch this follow-up. Therefore, we planned to watch this one and we went once again with a group of friends. Anyway, it was definitely pretty awesome, I was really starting to feel the epicness of the whole thing and, in my opinion, it was actually better than 'The Fellowship'. Indeed, this time, there was no need to introduce the characters and most of the movie was filled with some amazing battle scenes. On top of that, there was still one major character who was finally properly introduced and it was Gollum. Basically, it was the first time that such a 3 dimensional and compelling character was created through CGI and motion capture and it was just truly mind-blowing. It was totally revolutionary and we should give credit to both Jackson and Serkis for this amazing work. So, it was better than the previous installment but, of course, those 3 movies should be seen as one huge epic story.

A classic

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, even though I definitely could see why this movie has such a stellar reputation, to be honest, I still struggled to really connect with the damned thing. The point is that this movie is actually very sim” read more

Ringu (1998)
Notes: I remember it as it it was yesterday. The first time, I watched this movie, I was so scared sh*tless... I was with a whole bunch of friends and nobody was really paying attention to the movie but I was completely fixated and the scene with the TV (if you have seen it, you know what I'm talking about...) was, at the time, one of most frightening scenes I have ever seen. The funny thing is that I re-watched it again, 10 later years and, honestly, it wasn't as terrifying as I thought it was (maybe it has to do with the fact that I was really stoned the first time but let's move on to something else...). Anyway, even though it may not be as scary as I thought it was, it still remains one of my favorite horror movies. Indeed, after all these years, it remains a fascinating story told with some very competent directing. I just loved the way the actors tell you their story without constantly rationalizing what's going one which was, in my opinion, the biggest issue with the US remake. Sure, the whole thing is actually completely preposterous but I thought it was completely spellbinding anyway. Eventually, it's a shame that the remake is much more famous than this original version.

A good movie

“Since this movie had a decent rep and since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I have to admit that most of it worked really well. In my case, we didn't have baseball but we would play football/soccer for hours and this movie perfectly captured the awesome fee” read more

Triumph of the Will
Notes: Basically, it is one of those classics I knew I should watch at some point but I kept postponing it indefinitely since I was pretty sure I would have a hard time to care about the damned thing. And, indeed, If you are a real movie buff, you have to watch this movie at some point but, man, it remains a tough watch though... I mean, I have to admit it, it was pretty impressive from a technical point of view and it has a huge historical value but it is also seriously boring and quite sickening to behold. Basically, half of the movie is about Adolf and his demented buddies making some dreadful speeches and the other half is about some endless marches involving 1000’s and 1000’s of fanatics in uniform. Like I said before, it was quite groundbreaking at the time and you can imagine that Leni Riefenstahl couldn't resist the temptation of making such a huge production with a virtually limitless budget so she did some pretty impressive stuff visually speaking making the most notorious propaganda feature ever conceived. Still, I felt pretty sick during most of the duration and even their uplifting music couldn’t cheer me up.

Buena Vista Social Club
Notes: Nowadays, Wim Wenders doesn't do anything really amazing anymore but, back in the 90's, I was a huge fan and tried to watch as many of his movies as possible. This movie was the last one he made in the 90's and it was definitely a great flick. If I'm not mistaken, it was one of the first documentaries I ever saw in the movie theater and I really loved the damned thing. To start with, the music was just downright amazing (eventually, a couple of years later, I had the privilege to see Omara Portuondo in a concert in my hometown in France. Good times!). Those old guys were also quite interesting and I thought that the whole thing was really spellbinding to watch. I'm afraid most of them must have passed away by now (I don't dare to double-check this on the internet as it might be really disheartening...) but it was just pretty neat to see them finally get some deserved recognition, even if it was really late in their career thanks to Ry Cooder for making this great CD and thanks to Wim Wenders for making this documentary which was a great marketing stunt.

An average movie

“To be honest, even though ‘Maleficent’ was not bad, I don’t think it really required a sequel but, obviously, since this movie had been fairly successful at the box-office, a follow-up was unavoidable, I’m afraid. Still, there was a major obstacle to overcome. Basically, in the previous movi” read more
