Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"Beautifully shot, well acted, and completely unfocused to the point of, well, what was the point? ... don't be fooled. - Kevin A. Ranson, MovieCrypt.com Often gripping at a straight thriller level, but increasingly weakened by its fuzzy psychology, Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker doesn't bring anything new to the table of grunts-in-the-firing-line movies. - Derek Elley, Variety"

When I was 29... movie diary (Finished) (214 movies items)

"March 19, 2013 Very decent movie. Recently I like look at Jeremy Renner, I don't know why. I regret that Guy Pearce was on screen so briefly. But after all movie kept in suspense and was interesting. Maybe not so much that I gave him so much Oscars as received, but... Oscars always were surprised and were strange to me. "

Worst Best Picture Winners (52 movies items)

"What Should Have Won? Up or Inglourious Basterds My Thoughts - Despite being well-received by film critics, I expected more from this film. It's still good, but a bit overrated. And people still talk about the said films that should have won from above more than this. Although my personal pick would be Avatar (BOOO!), but for popular opinion's sake, my choice would be Pixar's Up."

My top 20 War movies (20 movies items)

" Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb. Another good movie about the war in the Middle East. You can feel the tension all the time, one little mistake and it goes all wrong. The squad was on full pressure every moment and you could see that. Good job! "
