Notes: I haven't seen this one yet...
“I have noticed this movie didn’t get much love when it was released but I thought it was actually pretty good. Basically, back in the 90's, I was a huge fan of Abel Ferrara, especially after watching ‘Bad Lieutenant’ which remains one of the best movies ever made in my opinion and I believe th” read more

“Not so long ago, I saw '3 Days to Kill' and since this movie was the last one directed by McG that I hadn't watch so far, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even if it had slightly more potential than '3 Days to Kill', it wasn't really much better, I'm afraid. I mean, in fact, there was b” read more
What is it about?
A chronicled look at the criminal exploits of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
My verdict:
Well, the damned thing definitly deserves its stellar reputation, that's for sure. It is also another proof that the Neflix TV-shows are some of the best in the world while their movies are still terribly lacking with a very few exceptions like 'Beasts of No Nation', 'Mudbound' and 'Roma'.
Will I watch the following seasons?
By now, I have seen the whole thing and also 'Narcos: Mexico'. Easily one of the best thing delivered by Netflix so far. 
“This is a rather weird movie. Indeed, I had actually never heard about the damned thing and, if I recall it correctly, I bumped into it when I was at my local DVD renting shop (yes, back then, we didn’t illegally download movies, we used to rent them…). Basically, it was a rather obscure US ” read more
“To be honest, it is a rather obscure film and I ended up watching it because it was on TV so I thought I might as well check it out. Above all, I decided to see it because the lovely Emmanuelle Béart was involved. I’m not sure if Béart is really famous abroad, probably not, but she has been on” read more
Notes: I think it must have been 18-20 years ago the first time I saw this movie. Frankly, I didn't really care a lot at the time about this historical murder but since I grew wiser, I thought it was time to re-watch it. Anyway, after 'Platoon', it is probably the most heralded picture directed by Oliver Stone and easily the most controversial one. Indeed, back in those days, Stone still had some balls, especially compared to the rather friendly 'W.' and above all compared to the terribly mushy 'World Trade Center'. Even if you put aside the controversial aspect of the subject, it still remain a fascinating and really entertaining flick. Plus, Oliver Stone had a great cast at this disposal. The greatest achievement, in my opinion, is that they managed to take a major page of history, shading some lights on these very dark times and also entertain the viewer at the same time. 
“Since I have always had a weak spot for Clint Eastwood, I was quite eager to check this flick. Apparently, it was another Western he made just a couple of years after the Dollar trilogy. Eventually, it turned out to be a decent watch but not much more than that, I'm afraid. I think the introduction ” read more
“Since I really loved 'Tropa de Elite', of course, I was quite eager to check this sequel. Well, eventually, I wasn't disappointed, that's for sure, and even though I think I still preferred the first installment, this movie was definitely a worthy follow-up. This time, instead of focusing on the war” read more
“I remember it very well, this was the very first movie directed by Éric Rohmer that I had the pleasure to see. I must have been 16 years old, I saw it in the movie theater and I thought it was one of the most charming movies I ever saw. To be honest, I don’t think that this tale or those charac” read more
