“Maybe, at some point, I should give this movie a 2nd chance. Indeed, even though I didn’t really hate it, I still didn’t like at all and I’m pretty sure it must be the least deserving winner of the Best Picture Academy Award of all time. Seriously, from all the movies nominated (including also” read more
“Even though Robert Rodriguez definitely got noticed thanks to his directing debut 'El Mariachi', it is actually really with this sequel/remake that he eventually became really noticed by the mainstream audience. I remember it very well, I even saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was re” read more
Notes: I remember it as if it was yesterday. Back then, when I was just a kid, not even 10 years old, I saw the trailer for this movie. I thought it looked awesome and I was really eager to check it out. Somehow, it took me 20 years (!) to finally watch this flick. I have seriously no idea why it took me so long but the kid that I used to be was really grateful towards the older myself to finally grant him an old wish. On the other hand, it was also sad since because it was obviously too late to watch this flick and I would have enjoyed it much more 20 years ago. Still, it remains a solid comedy, a typical Tom Hanks feature that he used to make in the 80’s before becoming a ‘serious’ actor and winning two back-to-back Academy awards in the process. I mean, it is pretty funny, when you check the reviews about the people who love it, it always concerns people who watched it first when they were kids and now they get a great nostalgia feeling when they re-watch it nowadays. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that but there is definitely a target audience here and, for grown-ups, it is slightly enjoyable but not much more than that. I mean, it is fun, Tom Hanks gives a very good performance and it is good while it lasts but it is nothing really ground-breaking in my opinion.
“For the 2nd time around this year, with my filmclub, we went to see another movie starring Isabelle Huppert who is slowly becoming one of our favorite actresses. Concerning the movie itself, it was basically about a very rational woman who had to face some really emotional events (the loss of her ” read more
“Even though I really loved 'Ted', I thought that 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' turned out to be terribly disappointing, even if it actually had some potential. A year later, Seth MacFarlane tried to recover the damage done by releasing a sequel for his successful directing debut which didn't r” read more
“Between 2000 and 2001, I spent a year in Cambridge as an exchange student with the Erasmus program. Back then, I spent a year in the local YMCA living with some other students from all over Europe and I had a real blast. The very next year, I found out that Cédric Klapish was coming up with a movie” read more
“By now, I must have seen most of the action flicks starring Sylvester Stallone and, to be honest, I think that most of them are pretty weak and boring but I have to admit that they are a few exceptions and this movie is definitely one of them. Indeed, I actually saw the damned thing in the movie the” read more
