Notes: To be honest, usually, even though I have a lot of respect for such old classic comedies, I find most of them rather dated and they never really blow me away (a notable exception would be the greatest masterpieces directed by Charles Chaplin which are just amazing and hilarious). This movie was however an exception and I seriously enjoyed it a lot. First of all, the whole thing was actually slightly weird as the makers tried to combined seamlessly a comedy and a thriller. It was a really tricky mix but I was really amazed about how well it worked. Indeed, as a result, half of the time, I was laughing my ass off and, the rest of time, I was actually wondering if the characters were actually going to make it. The whole thing is even more impressive when you think that it was made in the middle of WWII and released just a few months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. 
“Since I kept hearing some interesting things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, even though I was fully aware of Jackie Robinson’s story, it remains such an amazing tale and it is not surprising that the guy is considered as one of the most influential African-Americans tha” read more
Notes: To be honest, it has been ages since I have seen this flick and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. Well, even though Orson Welles will always be remembered for ‘Citizen Kane’, this follow-up was actually more representative of his career. Indeed, following the tremendous success of ‘Citizen Kane’, there was a huge buzz about his next directing effort and you would have expected that the guy would receive pretty much ‘carte blanche’ but, instead, his movie was famously butchered by the studio. From then on, Welles would struggle through his whole career to get his directings project from the ground. It was especially sad with this movie because, in spite of the studio meddling, it was actually still a very good movie and Welles for example really loved the damned thing. Eventually, it could have been a great masterpiece and you can only wonder what his career could have turned out to be if this movie had been released intact. Anyway, even in this form, I still liked this movie a lot and it is definitely worth a look. 
“To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Samuel L. Jackson and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, apparently, it was in fact the most expensive movie ever made in Finland and it was definitely fun to see Jackso” read more
“I already saw this movie but since I just bought an awesome brand new TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, pretty much like with ‘Infinity War’, I have to admit that the damned thing turned out to be much more enjoyable the 2nd time around. I remember the first time I saw it t” read more
“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but I thought it would be neat to see an action flick taking place in France during the French national day. Well, to be honest, I really struggled to get into this movie. Indeed, the beginning was just so lame with above all such poor dialogues. A” read more
Notes: I haven't seen this one yet...
Notes: I wasn’t sure what to expect from this movie but since it won 6 Academy awards (including the one for Best Picture), I thought I should check it out. Well, to be honest, I really had a hard time to care about the damned thing after all. Indeed, even though the beginning scenes were supposed to be sweet and gentle, I thought there were just too fluffy and even borderline silly, to be honest. For example, you had this deal with the roses competition which was seriously tedious. Then, the main plot was not bad but still nothing really amazing and, on top of that, it turned out to be some massive propaganda which was rather disappointing. In my opinion, the whole thing feels nowadays terribly dated and I’m rather amazed it is still getting so much credit nowadays. At least, I have to admit it, Greer Garson and Teresa Wright were both really lovely but it was certainly not enough.

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I really struggled to get into this flick. I don’t know, maybe I wasn’t in the right mood but I didn’t really get what was so ‘fun’ or’ entertaining’ about seeing some ” read more
