I don't think Matt Dillon had such a bad career, he just makes a lot of movies that nobody really watch. On the other hand, with Tom Berenger, you're completely right, his track-record of the last 20

Well, after 10 long years, I have finally watched 'Nueve Reinas' and guess what? I thought it was a decent watch but, to be honest, not much more than that. Sure, it is better than the US remake but

Sorry but this movie is not told through flashbacks... The chronology is actually much more random and the actual bus accident takes place around the middle of the running time.

By the way, I did find an interesting review on IMDd (actually of 'Stalker' but it applies to Tarkosky in general) which was finally rather spot-on: 'Andrei Tarkovsky is a rarity among filmmakers i

'I think anyone who watches this film will be hard pressed to deny it does a bit to realign the moral compass within all of us.' Well, sorry, that didn't happen to me... even though everybody praise

Coming back on this discussion, basically, Ebert and Siskel did think that the movie was rather well made and therefore not a total disaster so a 2.5/4 rating did make sense. Basically, they thought i

Sure, I can’t pretend that I have read any comic-books involving Black Widow’s sister (I did read one involving Black Widow though). However, there is some ‘classic’ comic-book female charact

by the way, after re-reading my review (like I said, I saw this movie 3 years ago), the issue was not only their revealing outfit, it was above all the fact they were in their underwear for a good chu

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 14:24:40 GMT

To be honest, I saw this movie 3 years ago and I don't really recall how they looked like. Anyway, I don't agree with your argument. A filmmaker makes a conscious choice on how to film and display t

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 13:54:39 GMT

I can't believe that your main complaint was about the fact that Florence Pugh was not sexy enough to play her character... A major issue with female characters in comic-books such as in Marvel is t

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 12:04:00 GMT

Well, you can say whatever you want about Michael Moore but the guy actually called it. Indeed, Trump did win after all which was something that pretty much everybody, included myself, didn't see comi

Sat, 24 Jul 2021 06:32:27 GMT

It’s so funny but after rewatching the movie 10 years later, this whole aspect, the fact that Lisbeth Salander falls in love with Mikael Blomkvist doesn’t bother me anymore, in the contrary. Event

Yep, the damned thing was quite ridiculous, that's for sure

It's so funny that, almost 10 years, I think I finally understood what doudouce55 actually meant with 'The direction was terrible'. Back then, I was shocked because it was directed by Martin Scorses

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 11:53:12 GMT

@Director Black, indeed, I did watch '13th' afterwards and it was quite amazing. Too bad 'A Wrinkle in Time' turned out to be bordeline awful though.

@Jonathan1946m Yeah, 'Hatfields & McCoys' has been om my radar for quite a while and 'Yellowstone' does look pretty awesome as well. The issue with Kevin Costner is not that the failures of 'Waterwor

You definitely made some interesting points and, eventually, it is also a matter of taste. However, the only critic I might have is that it is rather pointless to argue that a Terminator movie doesn'

In spite a major knock-off of ‘Wall-E’, Pixar had actually nothing to do with this movie.

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 12:50:21 GMT

@Raven, if you didn't like the movie, sure, it's up to you, but I would never give such a low rating if I believed that the actors did such great job.

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 09:21:00 GMT

@Zuraka, that's actually an interesting remark. In my opinion, the weird soundtrack (a typical Gilliam trademark) actually enhanced the sense of confusion experienced by the main character and it w

@The O.P., Sure, they pushed it too far and I really had the feeling that I was watching some kind of geriatric version of Jason Bourne.

Sun, 26 Nov 2017 09:05:29 GMT

Well, when thinking back on this movie and following the backlash around its release, it might turn out that Joss Whedon was actually responsible for maybe 1/3 of the end-product. So, my bad, your rev

It has been very well documented that Joss Whedon took over the directing duties not to improve or fix this movie but because Zack Snyder was facing a huge personal tragedy and was not able to finish

Coming back to this discussion, after another sequel, they dropped Andrew Garfield, hired Tom Holland instead and Spider-Man did finally join the MCU after all.
