Top 10 best movies 2001

Note : I really love this movie. The visuals are great and the story is just fascinating. A great achievement !

Note : I thought it was really fascinating. The directing and acting are really good but the story and writing were even the better. A very good movie.

Note : Ryan Golsing's first great perfomance. He really carries the movie. The story is really fascinating too. A great watch.

Note : During the whole thing, I was rather flabbergasted by what was going on but I couldn't help wondering if it would happen the same way in real life (apparently, it did since it is based on an actual experiment). Like I said before, during the whole thing, you are scratching your head, questioning the attitude of both guards and prisoners but I do believe it gives a really believable and quite convincing study on human behavior and psychology, resulting in a fascinating movie.

Note : I must admit it, the first time I watched it, I wasn't exactly blown away. I mean, it looked awesome and I was entertained during the whole thing, that's for sure, but, basically, I thought it was a very long introduction before the real thing started. After re-watching it many times, I tend to appreciate it more but I still think the other 2 installments are better. That's also the skill of Peter Jackson who managed to make each installment bigger than its predecessor. Anyway, as a stand alone movie, it is really good but as one third of a great epic tale, it is really awesome, definitely.

Note : I think Marc Foster is a very interesting director and if I recall correcly, it is the first movie I have seen directed by him. A great and shocking story with a very good directing and some top-notch acting (maybe the only very good perfomance by Halle Berry?).

Note : After all those American Pie clones, we may have forgotten how it is to be in your late teens. Those movies may be entertaining (most aren't though) but they are most of time completely unrealistic. Ghost World is a wake up call and send you right back in the reality. I really loved it.

Note : This is one of those unknown / underrated jewel. I think it is great movie. The visuals are amazing and the story is completely spellbinding. I just love it.

Note : If you think that Ethan Hawke can't act, you should watch this picture. Easily, his best perfomance. The directing is very good aswell and the writing is just top notch.

Note : It is already the 2nd French movie based on this true story (the other one is 'L'adversaire'). What's amazing is that both movies are very good movie. 'L'adversaire' is even better but this is one very good aswell. Very good directing and acting.
