Notes: In fact, it was a sequel from a movie I never saw which was based on a comic-book I never read but I don't think that my lack of familiarity with the material was the reason why I didn't like this movie at all. But how did I end up watching the damned thing in the first place? Well, it's fairly simple, I was on holiday in France, visiting my relatives, but the weather had been terrible the whole week so, instead of staying (again) inside, I decided to bring the kids to the movie theater.

First of all, the historical background” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Diane Lane, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it seems that everybody in the Coppola family has to direct at least one film during their lifetime so why not Francis Ford Coppola’s wife as well” read more
“I’m not a huge fan of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise but Nick, my step-son, was quite eager to check it out and I have to admit that it was a pretty cool idea to see an action flick together instead of the usual super-hero feature. Well, to be honest, even though this movie was apparently” read more
