Notes: I haven't seen this one yet...
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since this franchise does have a solid reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. In fact, before watching this sequel, I have to admit that I didn't remember much about 'Insidious', except that, at the time, I thought ” read more

Notes: As usual with Bergman, I have to admit that I did struggle to get into this movie. I mean, when I heard that it was about Bergman going for the horror genre, I expected something more conventional but it was obviously foolish of me to expect a basic horror flick from this director. And, yet, the whole thing was quite fascinating, in fact, it was quite terrifying. Indeed, instead of going for some vampires, zombies, monsters or other serial killers, Bergman went for some psychological horror and he basically delivered in the process a major mind-f*ck. In fact, in my opinion, the end-result was some kind of mixed between Bergman and David Lynch. In fact, Lynch would release his feature length feature much later on and I wondered if he had been inspired by this movie as the line between dream and reality was constantly blurred which is a typical trademark in Lynch's work. Anyway, even though the end-result was maybe difficult to swallow, it was terribly effective and, very often, I had the feeling that I was watching a horrifying nightmare.
“I don’t really remember why but I was actually really eager to watch this movie for quite some time. I guess it was probably because it had some really solid ratings and/or because there was a stellar cast involved. To be honest, I have to admit that I always had a hard time to get into these movi” read more
Hip Hop
Notes: It is probably the most highly regarded movie directed by Stanley Kubrick and you might argue that this movie is the mother of all the Science-Fiction movies that came afterwards. Indeed, even if you think it's slow and boring, you can't deny it has visually inspired all the S-F movies that came afterwards. Here, Kubrick made a visually spellbinding feature and went metaphysical and it completely worked. I mean, the last 15 minutes are probably the most exhilarating piece of cinema I have seen in my entire life. As a viewer, it was a defining moment that I will never forget. This movie doesn't give you any answer, you have to look for them, you have to think the whole thing for yourself to make something of it. The only small critic I would have concerning this real masterpiece is that the pacing is rather sluggish but it is something marginal compared to the greatness of the whole endeavour.
