Starring Tom Felton: that was enough to raise red flags, but I was willing to give the film a chance — after all, surely a WWII film with werewolves can’t be all bad. Sadly, despite the film premiering at London’s FrightFest, Burial isn’t a horror film at all: the werewolves in question aren’t of the […]

A lot of awareness regarding mental health issues has been raised recently, thanks to the internet. I was not aware of this movie, nor anyone suggested me. Being someone who is currently going through kind of something like the lead character in the movie, it hit me hard. I teared up at places since I […]

This is an immersive film. You relate with Thomas as he tries to put the pieces together when he wakes up from coma. It’s a slow burn but you don’t mind because the story brings you somewhere and you want to be there when it ends even if it feels the story is going around […]

It’s a hip hop reimagining of the Nutcracker. A number of Tchaikosvky’s music remixed in a hip hop way. The video is a troupe of hip hop dancers doing their thang. And they do it well.The story is driven by stylized text on the screen and the MC.The experience is about 40 minutes long and […]

This is a well delivered and artful picture of a navy aviator and his family’s perseverance during a trying time of varying civil rights struggles. It includes a wonderful story of military camaraderie between wingmen that surpassed limitations of racial divisions but does not wallpaper over them. These issues are delivered in a positive and […]

The Ugly Truth deals with the problems and fragility of a small family that has to deal with the consequences of an unexpected visit. The cast features popular faces of German cinema, Lillie Liefers and Emma Schweiger. Unfortunately the movie was somehow a disappointment because it doesn’t have great production values or a story that […]

If you’re a fan of the late Spanish horror/porn director Jesus Franco, you could certainly do worse than this 1980 outing, which is–like much of the director’s more interesting sex films–based on a story by the Marquis De Sade. A young noblewoman (Lina Romay) is released from an asylum and returns to her isolated castle […]

James Gray explores opportunity and the immigrant experience in USA, bringing echoes of his earlier work “Little Odessa.” Ronald Reagan says in a TV clip: “Do you ever feel that we might be the generation that sees Armageddon?” and we are thrown into the 80s and its dynamics of cruelty and compassion. Strong, so far […]

It’s one of those overly dramatic movies that are similar to soap operas, if you like them you’ll like this movie! It was too dramatic for me. The idea (plot) of the movie can be developed more in order for it to be better. I loved the main cast, they were both cute, but I […]

Wrong with filmakers today? Howcome they cant make stuff better than this standardized generic cha-ta-nooga-choo-choo comedy, where the whirlpool of yap-yapping doing the morning excercise of verbalistic commotion, that , at least for a grumpy old man, wears and tears on the tuba auditiva, leaving me with an enforced tinnitus that can never be prevailed […]

I’ve watched it twice already and what a great job they did making this! Finally a perspective of the realities of Western negligence when it comes to asylum seekers. This movie is motivational, stressful, heart wrenching/ heart warming and the fact the real life women are now facing prosecution from Greece for aiding asylum seekers […]

This is a beautifully made film about the huge judicial scandal that became known as “kids for cash.” Basically, two judges in Pennsylvania secretly received millions of dollars from the owners of a for-profit prison for juveniles in their jurisdiction, while at the same time pulling strings to give the prison a monopoly on juvenile […]

We watched it just a few days after we learned the death of Charlbi Dean, so I expected an awakward experience, but the film pulled me in from the first minutes. It was much lighter and much more fun than I expected – the title is misleading as “sadness” is absolutely not a topic in […]
