“Recently, my wife and I just finished watching ‘The Killing’ and since we were both eager to check something else involving Joel Kinnaman, I thought we should check out this movie. Eventually, I thought it was not bad but I’m pretty sure I will forget about it soon enough. I mean, sure, it was” read more
“I know, it is another seriously obscure feature but I remember quite well when I saw this movie. Indeed, I had absolutely no idea what to expect from the damned thing but since it was one of the first movie directed by Robert Altman, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, the whole t” read more
“Basically, it is another really obscure French movie. In fact, if I recall it correctly, I’m pretty sure I saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released at the time. Indeed, a few years before, I saw ‘Le péril jeune’ when it was on TV (for some reasons, it was released at the” read more
Notes: I haven't seen this one yet...

Indeed, it was with this movie that Kinnaman got his international breakthrough. Well, eventually, even though it w” read more
“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should probably re-watch it at some point. The tricky thing with Francis Ford Coppola is that even though his movies from the 80’s were not really so bad, they never reached the level of the masterpieces he made in th 70’s ('Ap” read more
Notes: In my opinion, this movie is the ultimate romantic-comedy. Indeed, even though I always had a weak spot for the genre, to be honest, most of the rom-coms are actually so underwhelming. The main reason, in my opinion, is that they are usually poorly written and usually focusing on some terrible gimmicks. The great romantic-comedies, in fact, never put the accent on the gimmicks but on the characters and their relationship. This flick does it so well, not only it gives us some really 3 dimensional characters but, above all their relationship was just really sweet, sad, recognizable and pretty often quite hilarious. Following this flick, Meg Ryan pretty much became the queen of the genre with some various amount of success and it's just too bad she pretty much butchered her pretty face with some ill-advised plastic surgery during the last decade. Anyway, there is no denying that she and Billy Crystal had some great chemistry in this flick.
“Since this movie had a really lame reputation, I wasn’t expecting much but since I have a weak spot for Naomi Watts and since my wife has always been interested in Diana, I thought we might check this one together. First of all, even though my wife was always convinced that she was someone really ” read more
“I already saw this movie but I was wondering if it was still deserving its poor reputation after all these years so I wanted to check it out again. Well, the answer would be ‘yes’ and ‘no’. Indeed, back then, this movie was really poorly received and it was even considered as one of the wors” read more

“To be honest, since it is a rather obscure feature, I really had no idea what to expect from the damned thing but since I have a weak spot for Kirsten Dunst, I thought I might as well check it out. The fact that it was directed by John Stockwell who was responsible for such underwhelming movies like” read more
“It has been a while since I saw this flick but I’m pretty sure I actually saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released. Even though it turned out to be the most expensive movies directed by Woody Allen (mostly due to the fact it was set in the 40’s) , it is usually considered ” read more
Notes: Since this movie is considered as one of Woody Allen's best movies, I had some high expectations and I was really eager to check it out. Well, even though I did like it, to be honest, I was still not really blown away by the damned thing, even if it was miles better than his recent output. Basically, this time around, Allen went for 2 different stories which were both linked to adultery. The first story with Martin Landau was obviously heavily inspired by ‘Crimes and Punishment’ while the second story was just another tale about Woody Allen feeling miserable in his marriage and trying to cheat on his wife. As you can guess, it didn’t care much about the second tale and they could have dropped it as far as I was concerned. Concerning the part involving Landau, even though it was intriguing, it still felt too predictable to me. Eventually, what made this movie really worked was its surprisingly bleak ending. I have to admit that I didn’t get it while I was watching this movie but, later on, I understood that the whole thing was basically about the idea that there is actually no God or if there is a God, what’s the point in believing in him since people can get away with such terrible acts?
“Even though this movie was rather poorly received, since I have a weak spot for Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck, I thought I might as well check it out. Furthermore, I have always thought that there was something quite fascinating about gambling and to make a movie about the new gambling business ” read more
