The film of the year!

"You can't build cover stories around a movie that doesn't exist. You need a script, you need a producer. "

Gone Baby Gone and The Town were enough to establish Ben Affleck as a superlative director, but Argo verifies that he's a filmmaking force to be reckoned with. What we have here is a godsend of a motion picture; a smart, riveting old-fashioned thriller which conveys a fascinat... read more

Let’s all just take a breath and a step back and actually look at Argo for a minute. Is it a bad movie? Not by a mile. In fact, it’s probably one of the better mainstream films to come out in 2012. But is it the awards-worthy juggernaut that it looks to become in the coming weeks? God, no! Nomination it for Best Picture all you want, but don’t give it the damn thing.

Since I heard about this movie, I became intrigued and when it won finally the Best Picture Academy Award, I thought it was finally time to watch the damned thing. And, to my surprise, I really loved it. I mean, I was expecting something good but not something so entertaining and quite flawless. Indeed, it was historically fascinating, it was a thrilling thriller and there were even some hilarious... read more

"9.5. Iran seems to be a real snakepit according to this movie. I don't know how true thas was but the fact is that Khomeini was no boyscout and everyone with a sense of reason knows to not to take Hollywood pictures that seriously. "Argo" is a fun thriller that has some really intense moments in it. Affleck has now made three movies and all of them are good. Affleck is officially a master filmmaker now. "

"The Academy Award winning film Argo is a perfect example of a film that's almost perfectly crafted in every section. It's a terrific film. It's entertaining, clever and full of tension. The acting is superb, Ben Affleck is really showcasing himself as a masterful director and the story is skilfully told. Argo is simply a film that should be cherished. But it's still lacking something, and in my eyes, Affleck's first directing feature, Gone Baby Gone is still his best work. Argo is lacking the e"

Movie Diary - Year 2013 (75 movies items)

"27.3.2013. For the first time/Online I can't remember when I last looked such a tense movie.. Definitely one of the better ones in the competition for the movie of the year, but I'm not sure if I would personally give him an Oscar.. Somehow I think Lincoln is just a little bit ahead, love his humor lines.. For me, Alan Arkin is phenomenal in the role of Lester Siegel.. And Argo turned out even better than my expectations since spy movies and others like them are not at the top of genres that "
