Notes: Was anyone really asking for yet another installment for this already really lame franchise? I mean, I have to admit it, I actually have a weak spot for the first 'Scary Movie' but all the sequels were pretty bad and this one was even worse. This time, they decided to spoof mostly 'Paranomal Activity 2' which I saw in fact not so long ago and, there, you already had an issue. Indeed, by spoofing a good movie like 'Inception' was not a bad idea but to spoof something already really underwhelming like 'Paranomal Activity 2' was really misguided and not funny whatsoever.
“Obviously, I had some very low expectations towards this movie and, indeed, it turned out to be pretty bad. Seriously, what were they thinking? Was anyone really asking for yet another installment for this already really lame franchise? I mean, I have to admit it, I actually have a weak spot for the” read more
“Since I hadn't see this movie for quite some time, I thought I might as well give it a second chance. To be honest, I have to admit that it was slightly better than I remembered but it was still nothing really amazing and, after all these years, I still wonder how this movie (and its sequel) becam” read more

“Basically, it is another really obscure French movies that almost no one has seen on Listal. I don’t know if anyone made this comparison before but this movie actually reminded me of ‘Teorema’, one of the most fascinating movies I have ever seen. Indeed, both movies deal with an average middle” read more
Notes: Either you like this movie or not, the fact remains that it is easily the most influential British movie released in the 90's. Even though I prefer 'Shallow grave', I must admit that I was really impressed by the second movie directed by Danny Boyle. Indeed, there was some great directing, some great acting and it was plain and simply a very entertaining movie. Still, even though I think it is really good, I'm not sure if it is really that great though. This is a really personal point of view that you may not share at all but, personally, I think it has an ambivalent attitude towards drugs. Of course, there are some horrible parts but, in some over scenes, they rather seem to have a grand time. Eventually, I think it is a very well made and fun movie with some great characters but, at the end of the day, the whole thing is actually pretty shallow. Indeed, the 1st half is really hilarious, some of the funniest sh*t I have ever seen, which is quite striking when you consider the subject. The 2nd half, on the other hand, was definitely weaker and felt more unfocused.
“From the 3 big horror movies that launched some major franchises in the 80’s (‘Halloween’, ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’, ‘Friday the 13th’), my favorite one was ‘Friday the 13th’. Maybe it was because I saw it first but I thought that this first installment was just quite spellbindi” read more
Notes: It is above all thanks to this flick that the Coen brothers became pretty huge. I mean, before that they had a solid cult following but it is only after this feature came out that their popularity grew up exponentially. It became their first classic movie and many think it should have won the best picture award back then (It lost eventually against 'The English Patient'). Personally, I have a strange relationship with this movie (actually, I have this feeling with almost all the movies made by the Coen brothers...). The first time I watched it, I thought it was great, the second time, it was just Ok, the third time, it was great again, the fourth time, just ok again.... It's rather weird, isn't it ? I guess, it all depends on my mood. Still, there was a great cast (William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare, Frances McDormand), they all delivered some terrific performances and, if you are in the right mood, the whole thing is just funny as hell.
“Not so long ago, I saw Wong Kar-wai’s last directing effort, ‘Yi dai zong shi’, but even though it was rather promising, I thought it was ultimately rather disappointing. Still, the guy remains a very interesting director so I decided to check one of his older movies as well. Apparently, even ” read more
“I remember very well when this movie was released. Indeed, I’m pretty sure I actually saw it in the movie theater but, otherwise, I saw it very soon after. Anyway, while watching the damned thing, I was pretty sure I was witnessing the birth of a new Star. Indeed, Reese Witherspoon, who was just a” read more
“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick. Personally, I always had a weak spot for romantic-comedies, but eventually, I ended up with some mixed feelings about this movie. The main issue I had with this movie is that, in my opinion, the whole thing in fact almost unwatchable ” read more
Notes: I haven't seen this one yet...
“I was looking for something to watch with my wife but she didn’t care for anything I suggested but since she enjoyed ‘Magic in the Moonlight’, I thought we might as well try another Woody Allen feature. Well, if I thought that ‘Magic in the Moonlight’ was interesting but flawed, this movie” read more

“All my life, I have been fascinated with movies. Obviously, it took me some time to finally get some understanding about the subject and, when I was a kid, like anyone else, I made some rather dubious choices. For example, when this movie was released, I must have been around 12 years old and I thou” read more
