“I wasn’t sure what to expect from this movie but since it won 6 Academy awards (including the one for Best Picture) and since it was also included in the list ‘1001 movies you must see before you die’, I thought I should check it out. Well, to be honest, I really had a hard time to care about ” read more
Notes: I haven't seen this one yet...
“When I was a kid growing up in France, Brigitte Bardot had in fact attained a seriously lame reputation in my home country. Indeed, she had dropped the movie business at least 20 years ago and time wasn't very kind with her legendary good looks. She had been focusing on fighting for animal rights fo” read more
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, even though not everything really worked in this movie, I thought that this Hesher character was pretty awesome a” read more
“I already saw this movie but since it was ages ago, I was really eager to check it out again. Well, I always had a weak spot for this feature. Indeed, there is one thing that always bothered me with Disney’s animated features and it is their terrible lack of originality. Basically, all their movie” read more
“Like all the older movies starring Lindsay Lohan, it is rather sad to look back at this feature. In fact, I’m rather surprised that it was released only about 10 years ago. Indeed, if you would look at Lohan, she has changed so much during that time (and not in a positive way) and you might thin” read more
Notes: What a great movie. I really wonder how they came up with such a messed up but also intriguing story. At the center, you have two of the most spellbinding characters I have ever seen thanks to some flawless performances by Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts. Concerning the directing, Jacques Audiard once again pretty much blew me away and the guy is pretty much the best French director at work nowadays. Indeed, he manages to shot beautiful scenes without making them too much artsy and he gives enough room to develop some amazingly deep characters who were completely 3 dimensional.
“Even though this movie didn’t get much love when it was released, since I have always been interested in Terrence Malick's work, I was still eager to check it out. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be a major disappointment. Indeed, after ‘To the Wonder’ which already barely worked, it see” read more
“Seriously, Nicolas Cage’s career has become so underwhelming lately that this movie doesn’t seem so bad after all. However, it still doesn’t mean that it was any good either, far from it. Indeed, even though, I have to admit it, the whole thing was rather harmless, I thought it was also terr” read more
“A month ago, I hadn’t seen anything from Xavier Dolan and, now, I have seen all the movies he has directed (thanks to a DVD box that my sister bought for me) and it has been a really rewarding journey. Indeed, with this directing effort, Xavier Dolan has delivered some of his best work so far. Ser” read more
Notes: With this directing effort, Xavier Dolan has delivered some of his best work so far. Indeed, the damned thing was a fascinating drama. Basically, the Canadian made a full circle and came back to a similar tale developed in his directing debut, ‘J'ai tué ma mère'. Indeed, it was again about the struggle between a (very) difficult teenager and his mother, except that the end-result was this time much stronger and I think I have never seen before a better representation of ADHD disorder. The other masterstroke was for Dolan to step aside this time and give the lead to Antoine-Olivier Pilon who was just fascinating in this movie. Then, to make this cast pretty much perfect, Dolan brought back his 2 muses, Anne Dorval and Suzanne Clément, who were fine as well, especially Dorval. To be honest, I wish they developed a little bit more what was going on between Suzanne Clément’s character and her family but it was the only minor flaw in this movie.
“I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I was really eager to check it out again. Well, first of all, if there has been one thing that always bothered me with Disney’s animated features, it is their terrible lack of originality. Indeed, basically, most of their movies follow the v” read more
“It has been a while since I have seen this movie and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. Obviously, it is considered as a weak effort in Alfred Hitchcock’s other prestigious career but, I have to admit it, this movie has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Basically, after the really” read more
Notes: Since I am a huge fan of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s work and since this movie was a huge critical success, I had some big expectations concerning this movie and it was definitely a high priority for me. Well, to be honest, even though I really enjoyed it, it didn’t really blow me away though. Basically, the first issue I had is that I heard so much about it before watching the damned thing, I already knew about the bear attack, about his son being killed, about the main character left behind and coming back for his revenge… Seriously, nothing happening in the first half was really surprising. Then, the 2nd issue I had is that I’m afraid I didn’t really care much about this story. I mean, sure, it was entertaining but it was not really original and it was certainly nothing really groundbreaking. Still, I really loved this movie above all because the whole thing just looked really amazing. 
“I already saw this movie but, since it was a while back and, since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out again. The first time around, since I am a huge fan of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s work and since this movie was a huge critical success, I had some big expectat” read more
