Dead Pool
Dead Pool is off to avenge his creator (sure the superhero skills are cool but what it did to his skin, not so much)

Refreshingly nasty
With his bad mouth, self awareness, humor and ultra cool action scenes, Dead Pool is a breath of fresh air amidst his unbearably boring Marvel colleagues. Story wise, it could step up a bit though as that felt shallow and plain.Self/less
Terminally ill man signs up for his inner self to be transfared to younger body... they got from... where exactly?

A very decent in between scifi with good ideas
Original science fiction mystery that gradually evolves into an action thriller. It is quite nice indeed, but could have hit harder by exploring this profound premise and what it might do to people mentally.Matriarch
After an overdose, a woman retreats to her mother and hometown. But there are strange things going on, and noone seems to have aged.

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.Other Lamb, The
A small cult with a single male leader herding only females lives in seclusion in the woods. Revolt looms.

Minimalistic but not
The cinematography is as sober and plain as the cult members live their lives. It's almost a collage of images and unspoken emotions instead of a traditional story, but you still can feel the revolution building up beneath the skin. Good.Oxygene
Woman awakes in a pod with only limited time to find out why... before oxygen runs out

A bold idea done pretty well
A bold and interesting idea, but will looking at the same confined woman for an entire movie be interesting enough? During the first half I wasn't sure, but then it comes up with enough twists and some impressive shots to make it work. Not by a huge margin, but certainly enough.Causeway
Female Afghanistan veteran with bad head trauma is trying to pick up live and make a new friend

Impressively acted drama
A small, uncomplicated story that works because of slew of actors at the top of their game and an intimate, delicate atmosphere. It never becomes over-dramatic and it dares to be quite and just let the silence, expressions and stares speak for themselves.Katla
In a small Icelandic town situated next to an active volcano, people that already exist or existed rise from the ashes

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.Don't Leave Home
Artist inspired by cases of vanishing children is one day invited to the home of a priest who's painings make people dissapear

Effective and subtle
There's something small and simple about this oddly titled horror, which makes it subtle, intimate and quite intriguing. There's not much standard horror mayhem, but rather a sense of discomfort and mystery. Quiet nicely done, I must say,Killing of a Sacred Deer, The
A surgeon befriends a boy who's father's life he could not save, which showly turns into a horrifying relationship

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.Perfection, The
Rivalry between two cello players leads to extremes

competent
A competent mix of horror, thriller and drama that's different and refreshing, and has several satisfying plot twists on offer. The 'rewinding' sounds and sights seemed below the class of this movie, but that's about it.Movies found: 1048 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 306 - 315
