“Back then, when it was released, it was a big a critical and commercial flop and I actually already saw the damned thing but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I thought I might as well give it a 2nd chance. Well, it turned out to be even worse than I remembered. I mean, with suc” read more
Failed movie franchises (50 movies items)"@Deanmon, I know, I already put a clear comment about this... It is even supposed to be released in 9 months from now and, yet, they still don't have a director right now so I wonder if it will be mad"

“I already saw this movie but, since it was a while ago and since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out again. Since ‘Alice in Wonderland’ had been a huge hit at the box-office (it was one of the first movies to reach $1 billion worldwide gross), it wasn’t a surpri” read more
“To be honest, even though ‘The Hunt for Red October’ is pretty much a classic, I always had some rather mixed feelings about the damned thing. Eventually, for some reasons, Alec Baldwin decided to not come back for this sequel and he was therefore replaced by Harrison Ford. Apparently, the fact ” read more
“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this movie and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. It is apparently Francis Ford Coppola's personal favorite of his movies. Eventually, the only reason this movie didn’t get the love it deserved was probably the fact that Coppola was r” read more

“Just a couple of weeks ago, I saw ‘The Intern’, also starring Robert Ne Niro, also playing a widower, and I was amazed about how underwhelming the whole thing turned out to be. Well, even if this movie with a rather similar character for De Niro was nothing really amazing, at least, it was sligh” read more
What would we do without gay people? (14 person items)"You mentioned that Jude Law played Oscar Wilde in 'Wilde' but that's incorrect. It's actually Stephen Fry who played Oscar Wilde and Jude Law had a smaller part playing one of Wilde's lovers, if I'm n"
“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. In fact, I even saw it the movie theater when it was released. First of all, even though I have seen pretty much all the movies directed by Lars von Trier so far (I‘m only missing the ” read more

Notes: Pedro Almodovar is one of those directors that I have always admired but he never became a personal favorite of mine. Indeed, he is what you can call a real author who has created his own style and, therefore, he always got my respect but, honestly, I always had a hard time with his work and this movie was not an exception. Basically, it is a typical example of what he did in the 80's, some colorful but also very daft soap-opera with some rather messed up characters. I mean, like in most of his movies, most of the characters are women but does he really provide a positive image of women? It seems that they are all emotional wrecks, impossible to make some sound decisions because they have been manipulated by some douche-bags. And yet , in spite their rather perplexing behavior, they were still quite spellbinding to behold and that's the power of Almodovar's work, in the way that he is able to create some complex female characters who are as much neurotic as they are powerful.
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I always had a weak spot for Michael Winterbottom’s work, I was quite eager to check it out. It is one of these fake documentaries that Winterbottom has been known for and it was probably the lightest movie he has made so far. Basical” read more
