“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. The most interesting thing about this movie is that it was starring a very young Nicole Kidman. She would give her breakthrough performance in this movie opening her the doors of Hollywood an” read more
“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. Still, I remember quite well when this movie was released. Indeed, back in those days, Ben Affleck was already starting to have a rather poor reputation after working twice with Michael Bay (” read more
Samuel L. Jackson, a young, cool dynamo?!? The guy was already 54 years old when he made this movie.... Furthermore, that's basically the essence of being actor, to be able to portray all kinds of di
Notes: Back then, when I saw the damned thing, I was much younger and I’m pretty sure it was the first movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis that I saw and the guy just blew me away with his talent and commitment. I have to confess, I had actually never heard of Christy Brown before and, without this movie, I’m pretty sure I would have never heard of the guy ever during my whole life. To be honest, it is actually a rather straightforward biopic but even though it was fairly predictable, the main character Christy Brown was just quite fascinating thanks to Day-Lewis who was at the top of his game. Eventually, he would take this great thespian surprisingly almost 20 years to win again another Academy Award for the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role with his great performance in ‘There Will Be Blood’ and he will become the first male performer to win three awards for lead roles following ‘Lincoln’. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, it was simply a fascinating drama.
“Even though this movie didn't make much waves when it was released, any movie directed by the Coen brothers always remain a top priority for me so I was really eager to check this flick. Well, to be honest, it wasn't really good. In fact, it was pretty much one of their weakest efforts so far, I'm a” read more
“In fact, I was supposed to see this movie with my filmclub when it was released but, for some reasons, it was cancelled at the last minute and we watched instead the rather disappointing 'Anni Fellici'. Eventually, since I kept hearing some good things about this movie (it even won the Academy Award” read more
“I think I had the soundtrack for this movie for already 20 years, so I was definitely eager to check the damned thing after all this time. Well, to be honest, it wasn't really good, I'm afraid. I mean, it is not that it was really bad, it was more that half of it was really neat and interesting but,” read more
@Rocconerverdies, to be honest, I have to admit that Paula Patton, even Queen Latifah, are actually quite gorgeous ;)
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it has a really solid reputation (it has an impressive 7.9 rating on IMDb and it was nominated for 2 Academy Awards), I thought I might as well check it out. On top of that, it was a huge box-office success in France and it turned out t” read more
Notes: Back in the 90's, John Woo was really hot and considered as an icon for many directors such as Quentin Tarantino. "The Killer" is supposed to be his "masterpiece"... I thought it was just bad. Lot of shootings, lot of slow motion... The top was one of the last scenes : There are the 2 main characters. If I recall correctly the woman was blind from the start and the man became blind during one those countless shootings. They crawl to each other very slowly, in a typical John Woo slow motion. It looked just ridiculous and the worse is that at the end.... they missed each other !!! they crawled next to each other !! It supposed to be very touching and have a lot of symbolism but I was just stroke how pathetic it looked. To be honest, it has been ages since I saw the damned thing and I should probably give it a 2nd chance at some point but I really didn't like it at all the first time around. 
“If you are familiar with Gaspar Noé’s work, then you will know that to watch any of his movies is always a challenge and this movie was maybe his most challenging effort so far. I mean, it was pretty obvious that Noé will come up at some point with a very sexually explicit feature and you might ” read more
