Moody en interesting mystery
It can be a tad sluggish, and I sometimes became frustrated with the incomplete and vague way people talked. Mostly though, the story is intriguing, and the easy going pace combined the Icelandic setting created a lovely, mysterious glow.Matriarch

Nice small-town cosmic horror
A nicely done movie with some cosmic horror and mystery, a lovely 'something is off' vibe, good 'rural town' atmosphere and a lead actress who manages to gain sympathy despite playing quite a nasty person. A nice treat indeed.The Invitation
Introvert man is invited to a party, at which something feels not quite right

Party sucked, movie did not
One of those movies that plays out in a single place with a single group of people, and a good one at that. The main goal of slowly building up a feeling of discomfort and anxiety to resolve what's going on is successfully achieved by the fine actors, story and no frills.Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Retired Indy comes back into action when the nazi's are after a device promising mastery of time

Tremendous fun and adventure. A success.
Me and my wife agreed that the balance between action/chase scenes and supernatural historical mystery could perhaps be opposite of what it is, but this is entertaining and fun, pretty much the way it should be. Whether it truly has lasting standout moments, I am not sure.American Sniper
About the 'legend' sniper who killed over 160 people in Iraq missions

Very good war movie, even moreso if you like Texan cowboydreams.
I wasn't too keen on the Texas-cowboy-American-hunt-with-your-son-patriot-there's-always-vacant-pretty-girl-just-sitting-at-the-bar elements. Not overly successful as a war commentary either. As a war movie though, is filmed with class, sincerity and restraint and hits hard.The Visit
Brother and sister document their first a visit to their grandparents. Including what happens with them after 21:30.

Evolves into something good
What starts of somewhat doubtfully as yet more mockumentary by cute rapping teenagers, gradually evolves into a rather dark, vile, nasty and scary movie indeed. It's slow pacing and lack of gore/fx only make it stronger.Altered Carbon: Resleeved
In a world with interchangable bodies, a man looks after a girl who is hunted down by just about everybody. But why?

A fine anime
A fine anime with sweet, non-standard animations and drawings, an interesting story and a couple of very intense action scenes with wicked ninja's.The Killing of a Sacred Deer

A strangely presented and dark tale, that gets to you nonetheless
I needed some getting used to the stiff, strangely brought dialogues from some characters, but eventually this added to a uncomfortable, disconnected, but intriguing atmosphere. The boy's behavior really makes you anxious, as does the dark story as whole.Triangle
Shipwrecked friends climb onto a passing ship, but it is hardly an improvement....

An great story, executed slightly dull
Direction and performances are a bit uninspired, contrasting with a really nifty and clever story that keeps your attention all the way. Even my wife stayed awake for this one.Destroyer
Worn out, dead tired female detective is haunted by a criminal from her past

Looks and feels unique
I didn't want to keep dwelling in the extraordinary make up and looks of Kidman, but it is so powerful that it radiates onto everything in the movie, lifting it to an intense, hot and muggy experience.Movies found: 1043 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 311 - 320
