Notes: To be honest, even though this movie has a very good reputation, it turned out to be a decent watch but not much more than that. I mean, sure, it was a solid film noir, no doubt about it, but there are some much better movies in this genre, at least, that's my opinion. Eventually, nothing much really happened through the whole thing and it was basically about the unluckiest main character I have ever seen or maybe, as it was argued by some critics, just a thief telling a bunch of lies to the audience but I think it be would giving this movie too much credit. Eventually, I was actually more interested in Vera thanks to Ann Savage who gave such a strong performance. In my opinion, she completely stole the show from the moment she got involved. Anyway, even if it didn't really blow me away, it was still pretty good though. 
“To be honest, 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, eventually, I was surprised by how lame it actually turned out to be. Basically, it was one of these ill-conceived romantic-comedies in which no” read more
“To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, the cast was indeed really neat (Billy Crystal, James Caan, Juno Temple, Peter Stormare, Johnny Knoxville, Rebel Wilson, James Marsden, Dolph L” read more
“To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, even if it turned out to be a decent watch, it wasn't much more than that, I'm afraid. I mean, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig both delivered s” read more
Notes: By now, I have seen 5 movies directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and all of them were included in this list. Well, from all those movies I have seen, this is the only one I didn't really enjoy. I mean, the title was pretty good but the scope was rather small this time, compared to their other productions which were much more ambitious and, to be honest, I didn't care much about the story and the characters involved. I mean, the whole thing was well directed and it was not bad at all but I didn't really enjoyed it probably because it was not my cup of tea, I guess. Still, it is a classic and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
“To be honest, I actually lost interest in Steven Soderbergh a while ago but since his last directing effort was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be a typical Soderbergh effort, with the usual qualities and shortcomings inherent to his w” read more
Notes: I haven't seen this one yet...
“To be honest, this movie rather seemed to be some excuse to see some naked girls but, somehow, I still ended up watching the damned thing. Well, first of all, it actually turned out to be surprisingly tame after all. I mean, sure, you still get to see two beautiful girls completely naked through the” read more
Notes: Since it is considered one of the greatest classics of the French cinema, of course, I was really eager to check it out and eventually, I wasn’t disappointed, that’s for sure. Indeed, first of all, you have to check the great people who were involved in this production (it was directed by Marcel Carné and written by French poet Jacques Prévert). When you dig into its history, it is even more amazing as you think that they managed to make this flick during the height of the Nazi occupation and, apparently, it seems that many members of the resistance were actually involved in this production. I have to admit, it is a rather long feature but, with some gorgeous black and white cinematography, some really impressive actors, the whole thing was still pretty damned mesmerizing. By now, I have seen my share of movies directed by Marcel Carné and this must be the most prestigious one.
“Like many other movie buffs, I have been waiting to see this movie for almost 20 years. In fact, Terry Gilliam had even been working on this project for about 30 years. Well, I wish I could say it had been worth the wait but, unfortunately, I really struggled to care about the damned thing. Eventual” read more
