“Following 'The Mummy' which turned out to be a huge failure, back in 2017, Tom Cruise released afterwards this movie and since it was directed by Doug Liman, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, it will probably not become a cult-classic like 'Edge of Tomorrow', also directed by Liman and ” read more

“I didn't really know what to expect from this flick but since I always had a weak spot for Jaco Van Dormael's work, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, once again, Van Dormael came up with something completely different than his previous work but, to be honest, even if it was an interesting wat” read more
“I didn't really know what to expect from this flick but since it had been a huge box-office success in China and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I didn't care much for the damned thing, I'm afraid. First of all, it started with some anno” read more

“Since I really enjoyed 'Wreck-It Ralph', I was quite eager to watch this sequel. Well, even though most of the recent sequels delivered by Pixar were rather disappointing, Disney managed to deliver here a really strong follow-up and this sequel was at least as good as its predecessor, if not even be” read more
“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was a Stephen King story and since I have a weak spot for Drew Barrymore, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, I was actually surprised by how underwhelming this movie turned out to be. I mean, right from the lame ” read more
“Since I kept hearing some great things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out and I had some really high expectations, especially since it was considered by many as the best movie released in 2018. Well, even though I did like it, to be honest, I can't say I was really blown away by th” read more
Notes: Eventually, I really had a good time and I thought it was quite entertaining. Gene Kelly is definitely an amazing dancer (I always thought he was much more interesting than Fred Astaire) and there were indeed some impressive dancing numbers, probably the best I have ever seen in fact. Back then, there was a big controversy because ‘An American in Paris’ managed to sweep the Oscars while 'Singin in the rain' was snobbed when it was in fact considered a much superior movie by many. In fact, later on, I did watch 'Singin in the rain' and, in my opinion, I thought that the dancing scenes were actually much more impressive in this movie. Unfortunately, I really had a hard time to care for the story which was rather weak but I guess it is rather inherent to the genre. Anyway, even though I wasn’t completely blown away by the whole thing, it is still a classic and it is definitely worth a look.
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Basically, it turned out to be another quirky indie feature slightly inspired by Woody Allen’s work but whil” read more
Notes: To be honest, it has been a while since I saw this flick and I should re-watch it at some point. In fact, I was actually give this movie on VHS by a friend of my mother but, even though the guy was positive that this flick was a major classic, I was hardly convinced at the time. I mean, back then, I was maybe 15 years old and, to me, it seemed to be a rather old cheesy flick, especially with such a title. Well, I still gave it a try but, to be honest, I wasn’t really impressed, that’s for sure. Basically, it’s a movie that trying to mix a typical film noir with some fantasy elements but, as far as I was concerned, I didn’t care much for this mix. Still, I always had a weak spot for James Mason who was a fine actor, I have to admit that Ava Gardner was really gorgeous back in those days and this movie pretty much solidified her status as a rising star.
