Notes: To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was directed by the great David Lean, I thought I should give it a chance. Honestly, I can think of a 1000’s reasons why I shouldn’t have liked this flick, it is way over-sentimental for my taste, the whole thing was far from being historically accurate and I could go on and on. Still, I really liked it. I mean, I haven’t read the book so I don’t know if it was a faithful adaptation but I really enjoyed this flick. First of all, I’m a huge fan of Julie Christie. I mean, I have seen only 10 movies with this actress and most of them were really recent but there is something really mesmerizing about her and she is pure and simply a terrific actress. Furthermore, David Lean had a great flair for those grand scale spectacles. I mean, to be honest, it never reaches the level of ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’ or even ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, but it was still quite impressive and simply damned entertaining.
“Since I'm a big fan of Michael Haneke's work, I was really eager to check this movie, even if it eventually didn't make much waves when it was released. In fact, we were supposed to see this movie with my film club in the movie theater but it was cancelled at the last minute because of a snow storm ” 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. I remember the first time I saw the damned thing though. Indeed, since I kept hearing some great things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out and I had some rather h” read more

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Hilary Swank and since this movie had some decent rating on IMDb, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, the story was seriously generic and predictable. Indeed, the caregiver was at first a mes” read more
Notes: Well, eventually pretty much like with ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, even though I really liked the damned thing, I didn’t think it was so revolutionary though. In my opinion, the main issue was that, after already 18 movies, the MCU has become too big and it has become a shore to link all these movies together and make sure they don’t break the continuity. In this case, as a result, at least half of the movie was spent on explaining why Wakanda and Black Panther were not involved before in the MCU and why they will be involved from now on. I mean, it was rather well done but it wasn’t really compelling and I hope that, after ‘Infinity War’, Marvel will stop to link all their movies together and provide some much needed flexibility to their directors. Anyway, beside this point, it was still a really cool super-hero flick, no doubt about it. In fact, it will probably be a milestone in motion picture history as being the first major black blockbuster ever made, not less than that. Indeed, Ryan Googler delivered a gorgeous movie with a fascinating fantasy African world. On top of that, they gave us an all-star black cast and 2 of the best bad guys in the MCU history (Erik Killmonger and Ulysses Klaue).
Notes: To be honest, it has been a while since I have watched this flick and maybe I should re-watch it again at some point. Basically, when I was studying in college, I went studying for a year in Cambridge and I took part in this film class which was really awesome. The idea was to watch every week a movie, starring from the silent era moving forward towards the 90’s and we would then discuss the movie seen during the class. So, this flick was one selected by our teacher and, of course, I had some huge expectations, especially since it was directed by the great Federico Fellini. Unfortunately, even though this movie has quite a stellar reputation, I didn’t like it much, I’m afraid. Basically, it was one of his whimsical tales, without much of a plot and this one was even downright psychedelic. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood when I watched it but I had a rather hard time to see why it was supposed to be so great.
“I had no idea what to expect from this movie but since it was recommended by one of my favorite listal members, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, even if it turned out to be a decent watch, I'm afraid it didn't really work for me. I mean, the beginning was pretty good and I” read more
