Gutless and bland

“"What if I made arrests for him?"

If you come to 2013's Snitch expecting a fun action fiesta which makes good use of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's brand of charisma and machismo, this picture will disappoint. The marketing is a tad misleading, as this is more of a father-son crime-drama, mor” read more

A highly involving documentary

“Lost in La Mancha is one of the most painful documentaries ever produced about filmmaking, yet at the same time it's also a brilliant and spellbinding examination of the motion picture process. The subject of the documentary is Terry Gilliam, a member of the Monty Python troupe who dabbles in direct” read more

Eccentrically Charming

“‘The City Of Lost Children’ has a strong stylistic similarity to director’s Jeunet and Caro’s ‘Delicatessen’ and ‘Amélie’ though it falls a little short in overall quality to those movies. Clearly there is much influence from Terry Gilliam in this film; in fact there are particular ” read more

A classic

“Since I kept hearing good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out. Unfortunately, even though I did like it, I'm afraid I didn't really connect with the whole thing. I don't know, maybe I wasn't in the right mood or maybe it has to do with the fact that I saw it on the BBC withou” read more

An average movie

“At last, they finally got it right... Indeed, so far, all the installments in this franchise were, in my opinion, quite disappointing. Yes, even the 4th movie which was really successful and heralded by the fans was just a tiny improvement if you ask me. I must admit though, there were many things t” read more

Gen 13

“I suppose this is what happens when you pay lip-service and nothing much else to the more adult themes of a comic book in an animated feature. Gen 13 is obviously a makeshift pilot on one hand and on the other a slap-dash effort to tie it all up and rush out a movie. Enemy characters that were clear” read more

Un Chien Andalou

“Luis Bunuel, even in his narrative features like Belle de Jour, preferred to view things through a dream-like prism. Think of how much of Belle de Jour’s narrative is occupied within the interior fantasy life and memories of its main character. Numerous things happen with no true “logic” to di” read more

Howl

“Using the titular poem as a Launchpad, Howl is an ode to one of the most groundbreaking works of literature, a poem who took preconceived notions of style, voice and form in poetry and blasted them into the stratosphere. Narrowing in on a life as varied and richly lived as Allen Ginsberg’s was pro” read more

An immersive phantasmagoria

“"I'm starting to think this is the most spiritual place I've ever been."

Spring Breakers represents the exact type of audacious cinematic vision that we do not see enough of in this day and age. It's a uniquely breathtaking experience from director Harmony Korine, one of the finest movies ” read more

“E’ il poco prolifico australiano Baz Luhrmann a prendersi il rischio di scrivere (assieme a Craig Pearce) e a filmare la terza versione per il grande schermo dell’opera più conosciuta di Francis Scott Fitzgerald, romanzo che ha dato parecchio filo da torcere ai propri adattamenti cinematografic” read more

“average action film. the motion picture industry still can't get a handle on endings. this film was pretty decent, but not much more. the last two minutes leave very much to be desired. really.” read more

“This is a beautiful sad drama, about three people and how their lives are intertwined through a devastating tragedy. This movie is slow, but the acting brillant. Naomi Watts, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro, play the three people who's lives are changed. It is heartbreaking, devastating story, and th” read more

Cool Style Used To Sheathe A Whole Lot Of Vacuum

“As a kid I had read a number of the original Sin City comics long before the movie came out. My opinion was that while Frank Miller’s monochromatic artwork was pretty amazing to say the story and character development was thin would be a grand understatement. While other comics of its time were ev” read more

Review of Rear Window

“*This review contains spoilers*

This is perhaps the most disappointing film I've seen all year. Despite brief moments of brilliance and a clever premise, Rear Window is a confused, often tedious, and mostly uninteresting thriller. The film's suspense is all contained within the last half h” read more
