Notes: This movie is definitely a milestone and for many reasons. Indeed, not only was it the directing debut for George Miller, one of the most successful directors coming from Australia, but it was also of course Mel Gibson’s debut as well. To be honest, in my opinion, the whole thing didn’t grow old very well but, with such a small budget, they still managed to make something quite striking and pretty bad-ass, that’s for sure. Since then, it has become a cult classic and it definitely deserves its reputation. More than 35 years later, George Miller would finally come up with a new sequel and, even though the production was pretty chaotic and suffered many delays, it turned out to be a massive popular success (many would even argue that it was the best movie released in 2015). 8 years, 2 months ago

“Since I really loved 'La vie d'Adèle', I was really eager to check this first critical success from Abdellatif Kechiche, especially since it won at the time the César for the Best French movie of the year. Well, to be honest, it was a rather tough watch and it took me a while to really get into th” read more

Comment : To be honest, it might not be the ugliest poster out there but what really bothered me is that they actually switched the hair color of the actresses involved... Indeed, in this movie, Franka Potente was a brunette and Mandy Moore was blond (see pics underneath) but, for some reason it was completely the other way around on this pathetic poster. Seriously, the guys who are paid to make these posters should check at least such basic details because the end-result looked just so unprofessional...

Notes: Eventually, it must be one of the weirdest WWII dramas I have ever seen. I mean, half of it was a rather straightforward but still interesting telling of the rising of the Nazis in Poland at the time and the other half was basically some kind of surrealist tale about a strange boy with some unusual gifts. Well, I thought that this mix was just quite spellbinding to behold. Above all, the masterstroke was to find David Bennent to play the main character. Indeed, while watching the damned thing, I was never able to figure out how old he was, not only because of his appearance but also because of his acting skills which were just as convincing if he would have been a young boy, a teenager or an adult. Eventually, I have discovered that he was not even 13 years old at the time which is just mind-blowing considering the depth of his performance.8 years, 2 months ago

“Of course, I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I have it on DVD, I was really eager to check it out again. In fact, I remember it very well when it was released in France. Indeed, it was a huge critical and commercial success, everybody was talking about this flick to th” read more

Notes: Since I kept hearing some interesting things about this flick (for example, it was apparently one of Stanley Kubrick's favorite movies), I was really curious about the damned thing and I was quite eager to check it out. First of all, by now, I have seen many movies starring Steve Martin (almost 30 features) but, to be honest, most of them turned out be actually rather worthless. However, the guy still made a few classics during his career and this flick was apparently one of them . Well, eventually, after I finally watched this movie, I turned out to be a decent watch but I can’t say I was really blown away by the whole thing though. I mean, I thought it was a good movie and there were definitely some funny scenes here and there but, still, I can't say it was really hilarious. Eventually, I guess it all depends if you like absurd humor or not. 8 years, 2 months ago

“Since I'm big fan of Jacques Audiard and since this movie won the Golden Palm at the Cannes film festival, I was really eager to check it out. I remember that, at the time, it was a rather controversial win since many didn't expect this movie to get this prize, especially since it was competing agai” read more
