35 From 94: My Favorite Films From 1994 (35 movies items)

"  I have often said that the 1990's was the last year for really great movies and 1994 is an excellent example of why. The amount of amazing films that came from both the independent and foreign category of movies was quite substantial. For this year, we have cinema from all over the world that made going to the movie theater a trip well worth taking. Two of the Three Colors trilogy, Red and White were released this year. So was Killing Zoe, Eat Man drink Woman, and Chunking Express. There were"

"25.8. (Kirjasto/BD) #leffahaaste2018 Olen joskus ollut postinjakamisen ammattilainen. Nyt haaveilen runoilusta. Siksi Posteljooni oli mukava leffa. Koska olen muutenkin paskapää, niin lisäsin tämän osaksi haastetta. Onhan kyseessä uusintaversio. Musiikit muuten olivat upeat, kuvaus kaunista ja näyttely toimivaa. Knoppina elokuvan pääosanäyttelijä menehtyi heti kuvausten jälkeisenä päivänä. Se lisää tämän elokuvan tunnetta. Olisin myös tahtonut juoda punaviiniä ja syödä "

An average movie

“I remember very well when this movie was released, it was a huge critical success and, therefore, I was really eager to check it out. I even saw  the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released if I recall it correctly. Well, eventually, even though it was a decent watch, to be honest, I actually had a hard time to really care about the whole thing. I don’t know, maybe I was too young at the time to really appreciate it but it just didn’t really impress me.
