“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was directed by Ivan Reitman and since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I think you need to be either American and/or have a decent knowledge of American sports to get into” read more
“I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Margot Robbie, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, I really struggled to care about the damned thing. Basically, the whole thing seemed to another unnecessary new version of a classi” read more
Notes: In 2014, after 9 long years, they finally came up with a sequel but, unfortunately, it seemed that nobody cared anymore and it was eventually a flop (and indeed, the damned thing turned out be just terribly underwhelming). Anyway, when this first instalment came out, it had quite an impact and it became right away a cult-classic. At the time, I got pretty lucky as I managed to see it in the movie theater when it was released and I was seriously quite blown away by the damned thing. By now, I have seen all the movies directed by Robert Rodriguez and, in my opinion, it is easily his best movie. In fact, I would go as far as saying that it is definitely one of the best comic book adaptations. Since then, I have actually bought the original Sin City comic books, those are great as well and I can tell you that this movie was a very faithful adaptation, probably the most faithful adaptation of a comic-book that I have seen so far. Of course, the story was rather preposterous but, for once, it didn't bother me, in the contrary.

Notes: I have seen this movie a very long time ago but I was very impressed and I never have forgot it. To be honest, even though I have watched many other movies directed by Fellini, very often, it didn’t really connect with them, even some massive classics like ‘La Dolce Vita’ and ‘8 ½’. I mean, I did like them and I could see why they were considered masterpieces but they simply didn’t really blow me away. This movie is an exception though and it remains my favorite one among his work. Indeed, with this movie, you still have the poetic side of Fellini but this feature is also pretty realistic and I just loved this combination. In 2013, I went to see it again in the theater with some uncles and aunts who have formed a film club and I had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, I had a bad night sleep the night before and I could barely stay awake ruding the last 30 minutes but still what a great picture. This time, I was above all impressed by Giulietta Masina. I mean, Anthony Quinn was really good as well but Masina really stole the show portraying some kind of female Charles Chaplin character.
“To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since I always had a weak spot for Ralph Fiennes, I was quite eager to check his directorial debut. Well, eventually, it turned out to be one of these modern adaptations of a Shakespeare play. However, even though it was taking place mor” read more

“Since I have always been a fan of James Brown, I was quite eager to check this flick. As a matter of fact, one of the very first CD's I bought as a kid was a James Brown CD (to be honest, I don't have it anymore and, nowadays, I don't have anything from this artist which is quite a shame). Anyway, c” read more
Notes: 2007 was an exceptional year for the movies and many would argue that it was even one of the best years ever. Eventually, two contenders rose above the rest, this movie and 'No Country for old men'. Eventually, 'No Country for old men' got slightly more credit but, personally, I preferred this amazing flick. In my opinion, 'No Country...' was a fine picture but this flick went way deeper and was more fascinating in my opinion. Anyway, Paul Thomas Anderson showed us again that he is one of the most inspired directors at work right now. Working with one of the best actors ever, Daniel Day-Lewis, they created a great masterpiece together. Day-Lewis provided one hell of a one-man show being in almost every single scene for almost 3 hours long (however, the young Paul Dano shouldn't be forgotten as he gave an impressive performance as well). Furthermore, The story was really mesmerizing, probably the best one tackled by Paul-Thomas Anderson so far.

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak for Steve McQueen and since I’m from Le Mans, I was quite eager to check it out. First of all, I was wondering how they would develop a plot around the legendary race and, to my surprise, they didn’t even” read more
