“Since Sofia Coppola is usually an interesting director, I was quite eager to watch this movie and since it won the Golden Lion at Venice Film Festival, I hoped it would be pretty good. Unfortunately, it turned out to only slightly better than 'The Bling Ring', the movie Coppola made afterwards. ” read more
“We often talk about how some actors (like Ben Affleck or Matthew McConaughey) managed to make some impressive come-backs in their career but, very often, we tend to forget that for some directors, the path was also pretty hazardous and David O. Russell is one perfect example. Indeed, back then, foll” read more
“I remember it very well, when this movie was released, even though it wasn’t really a box-office success, it still become a cult-classic so I was really eager to watch the damned thing. However, even though it was a decent watch and definitely one of the very few watchable movies starring Tim Alle” read more
Notes: To be honest, when I first heard of this movie, I thought it seemed to be a terribly cheesy romantic feature. On top of that, it seemed to be another shameless attempt from the Weinstein brothers to sweep the Oscars, an attempt which was this time successful since it managed to win 9 Oscars including the Best Picture. So, with this in mind, I was rather skeptical at first but I still wanted to check it out and, eventually, I have to admit it, I really loved the damned thing. Basically, it is one of the very best romantic features I have seen. Indeed, the directing was just really strong and it is one of the few movies I have seen in which in the back-and-forth in time actually worked and enhanced the whole story. Furthermore, all the actors involved were perfectly cast and gave some of the best performances in their respective careers. 
Notes: I was quite blown away by the whole thing and, in my opinion, it was one of the most beautiful and intense love stories I have ever seen. Rightfully, Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos were heralded for their performances and they were both just mesmerizing to behold. Seriously, I saw the movie yesterday and I still can’t stop thinking about their relationship which was so raw and realistic. This is basically the kind of relationship we all dream to have once in our lifetime. To be honest, I have to admit that no everything did work though. Of course, there is the matter of those very explicit sex scenes. Indeed, on one hand, it felt really voyeuristic and it seemed to be a very masculine point of view on lesbian love. You might wonder if those scenes really added something valuable to the story but, on the other hand, you might argue that they matched the intensity of their feelings for each other.

“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this movie and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. Basically, it is one of those timeless romantic classics which has gathered some die-hard fans around the world, even though it didn’t grow old very well. Indeed, it is incredibly cheesy an” read more
Notes: I remember it very well, when this movie was released, I read a very enthusiast review and it made it sound as if it was one of the best movies of the year so I was really eager to check it out. With this in mind, I had some huge expectations before watching it and, I must admit it, I thought it was a little bit disappointing. I mean, I did like it but it wasn’t as nearly as amazing as they said. The point is that the characters were really interesting, the directing by John Sayles was really solid, but somehow, I had a hard time to care about the story. I mean, sure, it was entertaining but like most thrillers, it was so far-fetched, I thought it was rather hard to take it seriously. Still, it remains an intriguing flick and I might need to re-watch it to make up my mind for good. An interesting aspect was to see a young Matthew McConaughey just at the beginning of his career before he got involved in all these underwhelming romantic-comedies. 
“Since I kept hearing some good things about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. On top of that, I always had a weak spot for the features delivered by Aardman. Well, eventually, to be honest, even though it was a decent watch, I thought the whole thing was rather disappointing. Basicall” read more

“In 2016, Alex Proyas finally released a new directing effort after 7 long years and many cancelled projects but, unfortunately, 'Gods of Egypt' turned out to be the first big flop of the year so I decided to skip it for a while and watch instead this very obscure directing debut. In fact, I thought ” read more
“When I heard that they would make a movie with both Batman and Superman, I thought it was a great idea and a very smart move from DC. Indeed, even though 'Man of Steel' turned out to be decent, it wasn't exactly the massive box-office success they had hoped for. However, with this combo, it was prac” read more
