“Since I'm a big fan of Thomas Vinterberg's work, of course, I was quite eager to check this movie. Well, even though the damned thing really had some potential, especially since Vinterberg himself grew up in such a commune in Denmark, it still didn't really work, I'm afraid. Basically, instead of ac” read more

“To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Peter Hyams, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be so much weaker than I expected and it was probably the weakest movie I have seen so far from this director (unsurprisin” read more
Notes: Of course, with such a direct-to-DVD release starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, I knew pretty much right from the start that it would be some B action flick. In fact, Van Damme was actually not bad, it was actually fun to see him playing some French Canadian gangster and he obviously had some fun with this part. Unfortunately, he was pretty much the only thing that did work though. Indeed, if Tom Everett Scott was fine playing a mild-mannered forest ranger, I was however not convincing at all as a seasoned ex-Navy SEAL soldier. To make things worse, the story was just terribly generic and tedious. On top of that, even if it was a rather short movie, nothing at all happened through some very long stretches of time making the damned thing even more boring than it already was.
“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, unfortunately, even if it was still entertaining, it wasn't an improvement on the previous installment, I'm afraid. I mean, Tom Holland remains the best Spider-Man so far, he” read more
Notes: I haven't seen this one yet...
Notes: This movie turned out to be such a nice surprise and the proof that even though we are close to get a super-hero overdose, there is actually still apparently quite some creativity in this genre. Indeed, even if it might not be the best super-hero flick ever made (it wasn’t far from it though), it still managed to become the best Spider-Man flick so far. I’m not surprised that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were involved as the whole thing turned out to be such a fun wild entertaining ride. On top of that, the animation was just really neat and I wish I had seen it in the movie theatre when it was released because it was visually quite spectacular. Furthermore, this movie displayed that, to move forward with Spider-Man, they shouldn’t keep focusing on only Peter Parker because, after getting 3 young white boys playing pretty much playing exactly the same character, it is getting seriously repetitive and rather boring. With finally giving the lead to Miles Morales, they opened so many doors and, hopefully, the mighty Marvel will notice it and try to tackle some even more original concepts in the future. Finally, it was such a breath of fresh air to see a super-hero flick which wasn’t linked to an intricate cinematic universe. 
“To be honest, when I first heard about this flick, I wasn’t really interested. Indeed, it felt like Sony was really trying to milk the famous character. Seriously, after giving us already 3 different iterations in just a decade, to go also for an animated version on top of it felt like some seriou” read more
A Complete Review of Paul Thomas Anderson's work (10 movies items)
Notes: Even though it is almost 80 years old, it is still an impressive piece of work. Indeed, at the time, it was the very first full length animated feature, a huge gamble for Walt Disney, but this gamble paid off as it was a big box-office hit and it started the massive empire of Disney in the film business. Eventually, this movie would become the blueprint for their future work and, after all these years, the timeless fairy tales are still their most enduring trademark. Fortunately, they have the financial means to maintain their work and this movie has been restored already a couple of times and it still look quite amazing. Of course, they would improve and/or diversify their technic through the years but this one was already quite gorgeous to look at. To be honest, even though the story was charming and the dwarves pretty hilarious, the plot was decent but not really strong, in my opinion. For example, they spent half of the running time with Snow White getting to their home and getting acquainted with those fellows while everything involving the prince was seriously underwritten. Indeed, nowadays, this whole concept of this prince coming up from nowhere and basically saving the day seems rather hard to swallow for the modern audience. Anyway, even though it might seem outdated, it remains a timeless classic nonetheless.
