“I remember very well when this movie was released. Indeed, following ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ which was critically very well received and Steven Soderbergh’s biggest box-office success, he came up with this more experimental and it was a huge critical failure at the time. In fact, I even saw the dam” read more
“I already saw this movie but since it was ages ago, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, I always had a weak spot for Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer, Pacino was especially at the top of his game at the time, and it was really neat to see them working again together almost 10 years af” read more
Notes: I always had some mixed feelings about this movie. Indeed, back in those days, there was a huge buzz about this flick and, thanks to this feature, Geoffrey Rush's career finally took off and he became afterwards a familiar face in many popular movies. It also launched the career of Scott Hicks who has been working in the US ever since even though none of his other movies have been really successful. Coming back to Geoffrey Rush, he even got an oscar for his performance which I always find rather odd. Indeed, even though he gave a strong performance, Rush was maybe only 20 or 30 minutes in the movie and was hardly the main actor in this flick. Furthermore, even though I thought the story was really interesting, I didn't think it was mind-blowing whatsoever and, honestly, I think this movie is actually a little bit overrated. I mean, I have always been fascinated by the movies dealing with mental illness and this movie developed some intriguing ideas but, somehow, I wasn’t really blown away by the whole thing. 
“Since this movie belongs to the Disney Classics collections and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, at first, I was a little bit worried. Indeed, many years ago, I used to watch this cartoon and even though I was just a kid, I had already a hard t” read more

What is it about?
The trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer, Jimmy McGill, in the time leading up to establishing his strip-mall law office in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
My verdict:
Following 'Breaking Bad', Vince Gilligan came up with easily one of the most successful spin-offs ever made and, of course, I was planning to watch the damned thing at some point. Since I really enjoyed a lot 'Breaking Bad', like everyone else, it is actually rather surprising that it took me so long to finally watch the damned thing but it was definitely worth it. To be honest, 'Breaking Bad' was better though. Indeed, Walter White was and still is a more interesting than Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman but, above all, Jimmy is missing some good supporting characters like Walter used to have. Still, it is a really solid show nonetheless.
Will I watch the following seasons?
Yes, I have watched the whole thing by now.
“Back in 1995, I saw ‘Dead Man’ in the movie theater and I was completely blown away by the whole thing. Indeed, I never saw anything similar before, it was indeed the first movie directed by Jim Jarmusch that I had the pleasure to see and it became instantly one of my all-time favorites. So, whe” read more

“In a few months, at last, they will release a new reboot for this franchise and we’ll see if they manage to have a hit, especially after all the backlash they received after they went for an all-female cast. Of course, when I was a kid, I saw both movies (probably not in the movie theater for the ” read more

Notes: It has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should probably re-watch it at some point. I remember it very well, when it was released, it was a critical success and even won the prestigious Golden Palm at the Cannes Film festival. With this in mind, I had some rather high expectations but, to be honest, even though I did like it, I can’t say I was really blown away by the whole thing. Maybe I might have been too young at the time (I must have been 16-17 years old when I watched it) and I probably missed the subtlety which has always been a trademark in Mike Leigh’s work. I mean, sure, the cast was fine and delivered some very good performances but, to be honest, I thought the whole thing was a little bit gimmicky. From the same director, I actually preferred the much darker ‘Naked’ or ‘All or Nothing’ which must be my favorite of his.
