Fine scfi, but lacking the right stuff to soar
A decent, fine looking flick that achieves much without over-relying on effects or spectacle. I thought it lacked some finesse, and felt like it reached for some deeper but didn't quite get a grasp. I was also very disappointment with the thing they needed the nuclear battery for.Autopsy of Jane Doe, The
During an autopsy of a beautiful women, the cause of death becomes increasingly mysterious, as are the things that are happing to the coroners

Wittenberg
17-05-2017

Creepy setting, creepy movie, excellent idea
Any morgue setting will instantly cater for a horror movie. But this original, focused and terrifying movie sure exploits it to great lengths. Love how the mystery unfolds and how the autopsy and dead people are straight up in your face!Avatar

An epic mix
Like me, Cameron has a passion for nature, magical creatures, peace and harmony, but also likes hardcore scifi ships, mechs and guns fighting a macho testosterone war. Somehow it works together, in a beautiful, lively and stunning epic that also manages to connect emotionally.Avatar: The Way of Water
When the evil skypeople return to Pandora, JakeSully and his family seek shelter amongst the water tribe

Wittenberg

Too much of a good thing is still a good thing?
My predominant emotion was that it was too much. Too many magical animals, too much action, too much family values, too much Pandora, too much awe. Make no mistake though; This is still a huge achievement and a unrivaled spectacle that is a feast for the eyes and ears.Avengers, The

Wittenberg
26-09-2013

Too super
A good-looking fun ride which radiates positive energy. But gees, with so many superpowers combined, a truly exciting confrontation with evil is out of the equation. It's also too plain silly to be really exciting.Avengers: Age of Ultron

Dull and utterly soulless comic mayhem
Eye-candy it may be, but my god this is flat as a pancake. I cared for no one, as none of the characters was scared of anything as they chatted their way through tiresome and over the top nonsense battles.Avengers: Infinity War
All superheros must work together to prevent Thanos from getting his hands on stones (actually, getting stones in his hand) that will give him fearsome power

Wittenberg

What a mash
In the beginning I really digged the grandiose atmosphere, the wisecracks and the beautiful visual style of each and every scene. But then more and more hero's join the fight, it just goes on and on and everyone's fighting and suddenly I was exhausted, disinterested, dozing off and done with this.Avgrunden
An earthquake hits a small town in Sweden

Wittenberg
02-07-2024

A fair smalltown disaster movie lacking tension
The small town vibes and small group of focus people are quite refreshing, making this disaster movie more relatable and personal than bombastic Hollywood destruction. But I did not find the script particularly inspired, and some of the scenes go on way too long without being tense.Away
Mum goes to Mars. Away from her family.

Wittenberg
08-11-2020

Soggy family drama with occasional space things
Don't get tricked into thinking this is a scifi adventure. This is a soap opera, featuring an insanely uncooperative and unprofessional crew, bitching and moaning and solving tedious problems like the water supply and the flue. Back on earth, there is slow nagging family drama and diseases. Ugh!À l'intérieur (inside)
A woman has a baby inside her belly and a stalker inside her home

Wittenberg
01-01-2024

A very trilling home invasion flick, but not for the fainthearted
It's an unpleasant, painful, violent and - especially towards the end - quite gory movie that is probably too much for the most of us. But I have to say, as a home invasion movie it was very tense en gripping, and the feeling of desolation and hopelessness was very well done.Babadook, The
Widow is trying to get by with her needy son when she also releases a shadowy presence in her house by reading a strange childrens book

Wittenberg
02-02-2019

Succesful on multiple levels
Even more than the restrained and tasteful horror story, I was impressed by the suffocating and agonizing experience of watching her slide into insanity, due to sleep deprivation, desperation and social seclusion. It's sad, original, scary and intense. Bravo.Babezilla vs the Cyber Skanks: Rise of MechaBabezilla

28-04-2025

This was pretty close to being the ultimate accumulation of bad ideas being badly executed into wildly entertaining pulp. But it misses the sweetspot, because it is too self aware and too pleased with itself. Still - keeping an eye out for future adventures of Babebezilla!Babygirl

Wittenberg
23-04-2025

Erotic drama that feels like a thriller
I think this is the most intense erotic drama that I have ever seen. Not in softcore sense, but because of the excellent performances, the smooth direction and some scenes that had us nailed to our seats, and snacks coming to standstill in front of our faces, out of pure tension.Babylon
The ups and downs of two actors in the days of the early Hollywood industry

Wittenberg
14-01-2024

A loud movie about a world and people that only exist in movies
I probably should write something like "A daring expose of the decadence and ruthlessness of the inner workings of Hollywood", but frankly I found this a rather loud, unpleasantly over the top movie, with unlikable, unrelatable and exaggerated characters. Pretentious and Oscar hungry.Bad Biology
Nymphomaniac with multiple clitori crosses path with a guy who's overgrown penis has a mind of it's own. Not porn. I think.

Wittenberg
22-08-2021

Weird filth that does what it wants and I commend them for it
This was sort of rebellious and liberating in a way, but perhaps that's just because I watched too many generic and formulaic Hollywood movies lately. Sure it is bad, trashy and bizarre, but somehow it doesn't care and I sort of enjoyed the audacity of it.Bad Milo

Wittenberg
12-01-2025

Fun with some kick
Rather than playing it save and becoming an average comedy, the jokes are saucy enough to give it some personality. Near the end I was afraid it was going to sink itself in morals and lessons of life, but that remains within acceptable range.Bad Taste
An team of men try to hold of an invasion of aliens who look like men

Wittenberg
01-01-2025

You'll have to meta-watch it
You may enjoy this as Peter Jackson's first movie, for the practical and juice gore effects or just for the cheeky 'some guys with a camera made a movie' vibes. But I mostly found it a bit filthy in the wrong way, unfunny and was actually a bit bored at times.Bait
After a tsunami wave, a group of people get trapped in a flooded building with freaking sharks in the water

Wittenberg
15-11-2015

Amazingly ok
Amazingly, this movie takes its story rather serious, instead of trying to mock itself and attempting to get by with being an unpretentious B-movie. Even more amazingly, it indeed manages to be fairly entertaining and worthwhile. It's still a move a about sharks in the supermarket though!Banquet, A
A mother tries to handle a daugther who, after a visit to the woods, no longer eats and feels she now has a higher purpose

Wittenberg
21-03-2022

A modest horror with it's own style, but a bit thin on substance
This is a nice, modest mystery with a dash of horror but nothing hysteric. The atmosphere is moody and the central theme of eating and food is lain out well. However, it is dangerously close to being rather uneventful, and can feel kind of improvised as it tries to reach the end.Banshee Chapter
A woman investigates the dissapearance of an old friend, who took a mysterious drug that allowed him to see... them

Wittenberg
05-12-2024

A semi-found footage flick that's messy and fails to impress
The mysterious broadcasts were creepy, I wish they had stuck with that. Instead it was a pointless addition to an underdeveloped story that actually got a bit boring at times. That reporter guy out-acted everyone and therefore almost seemed in the wrong movie. Misleading artwork too.Barbarella
is sent on a space mission to find a mysterious man who may cause space disaster

Wittenberg
28-05-2025

Deliciously out of this world
With her naive lines, revealing space apparel as she embarks on her space adventure through weird decors and campy characters, Barbarella is quite charming indeed. It's all quite irresistible as a curiosity. But it a deep, rewarding movie it is not (nor is is trying to be).Barbarian
When a girl arrives at her BnB, it is allready occupied. But that is just a prelude to the horror the house contains.

Wittenberg
18-12-2022

A tasty, fresh and creepy horror
A horror with a steady focus, that expertly cashes in on our native fear of dark hallways and is proud do things slightly different. I also like how they keep it fresh with introducing new characters and perspectives a couple of times throughout the movie.Barbarouse Mexico
Several short and nasty horror stories. In Mexico.

Wittenberg
09-05-2023

Gritty but pointless
The atmosphere is different, and the stories have some fairly gritty and depressing stuff on offer. But all seemed to lack a clue or turn of events to liven things up. It's all "bad stuff happens, the end, next", which left a bit of an unfulfilled sensation.Based on a True Story
A writer with writers' block and pending depression meets a new friend that helps her get through, but how deep can she interfere?

Wittenberg
23-12-2023

A fine psychological drama but nothing spectacular
This movie was quite a departure from my usual scifi and horror picks, but I have to say it kept my interest all the way. This is mainly because of the strong lead actresses, and a subtle anxiety woven through the story. But a little bit more spice would have been welcome for me.Baskin
Turkish movie about a police squad ending up in a devilish mansion

Wittenberg
02-04-2018

Original, effective and hellish
While the actors may not be very likable, at least their character are unique and distinct, and we are given the time to get to know them. The finale is truly hellish, the atmosphere is ominous and there's some interesting stuff going on in the time line as well.Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Batman hates Superman for the havoc he inflicted battling Zod, and Lex adds to the misery by creating another supevillain. And also...

Wittenberg
04-09-2016

Tiresome spectacle
A very well made, mostly good looking superhero epic that nevertheless failed to fully make an impression. It was exhaustively messy and cramped, incoherent and sort of depressing. I found Batman totally unlikable and his hatred towards Superman felt forced.Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks
Several (unrelated?) scifi stories

Wittenberg
07-01-2024

Perhaps if it had decent stories
The stories consist of computer graphics alternated with (amateur?) actors doing stuff, with no real sense of connection. It's all quite hopeless, even if if the clumsiness of it all almost makes it sympathetic. The truly unforgivable sins were the supervague stories and random sensationalist title.Battle Royal
A class of students are placed on an island, and the game is that only one survives

Wittenberg
12-05-2022

A bloodfest turned into snoozefest
I was curious because it was listed somewhere as a real shocker, but the gore is not that bad - less so than many splatter horrors around. Furthermore I don't think I will ever get used to Japanese overacting and drama. The scholars are boring, annoying and their contemplations uninteresting.Beau is Afraid
A scarred man is literally and figuratively going on a bad trip to his mother

Wittenberg
27-08-2023

A wonderfully bad trip
To think that someone made up this story, somehow decided it was finished, and concluded it was ready to make a movie out of it is even more baffling the the movie itself. But here it is, and I am glad it is. A wild ride, bizarre, disorienting but also skillfully made, intriguing and unique.Beaver, The
Depressed man finds therapy by talking to himself using a beaver handpuppet

Even the premise of this movie gets you depressed, but it was a fine piece of work - courtesy of the actors in this.Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe
They get mistaken for drilling talents and are sent into space, causing havoc across space and it's dimensions

Wittenberg
01-08-2022

If you needed more of it, then this delivers
I for one missed these guys, and this movie simply delivers a generous portion of everything you love and hate about them, wrapped in a story that's reasonably fresh without ever drifting away from the essence.Before Dawn
A young Australian boy decides to leave the farm and fight in the trenches of the first world war

Wittenberg
22-09-2024

A very average WW1 flick
I found the confrontations lacking tension, the drama felt forced (especially with the cheesy music), there was no sense of scale of the battles or battlefield, and the script felt a bit random. I am sorry mates: it's a no for me.Begotten
Extremely grainy footage of vague but disturbing stuff happening

Wittenberg
17-07-2024

A curious and unstelling project that intrigues
The disturbing and intriguing images, presented on extremely deteriorated film with nausea inducing sounds, make this almost unbearable (had to turn down the brightness), which I guess was the idea. One of those movies that will live with you. I think that's good.Beneath
Some kids go on a rowing boat but there's a big fish in the water

Wittenberg
03-04-2021

Crap without a savior
All I tuned in for was annoying teenagers being eaten. And while that certainly is the case, this movie still manages to disappoint. It fails to latch on to any redeeming factor of such movies, like fun, gore, tension, great fx or jump scares. Nothing. Infuriating and totally unbelievable.Benedetta
Nun in Monastry developes sexual feelings for another nun. And stigmata, too.

Wittenberg
25-12-2021

The mix works
Lesbians nuns would seem like a recipe for disaster, but I don't think it is. The mystery of her divinity and stigmata is interesting enough, the religious habits give it some weight, the supernatural elements give it some spice, and well - it can be sort of erotic. Interesting package deal.Better Than Us
In the future, a precious humanoid robot escapes and finds shelter in a family with their own problems

Wittenberg
07-01-2024

No drive
I probably shouldn't be reviewing this as I stopped after 3 episodes, but here i am. The core idea is decent enough, but there's absolutely no energy in the story or the way it was told. Cold and bland, the prospect of watching 13 more terrified me. Perhaps the absence of music was part of it.Beyond Skyline
Group of people fighting a blue led alien invasion

Wittenberg
19-02-2021

Strange mixture
An unusual combination of reasonably high FX and production values, some unpretentious B movie actors and atmosphere don't even pretend to be anything else, and then a rather odd turn of events that takes the action to the jungle. Not a masterpiece by any means, but it entertains.Beyond the Black Rainbow
I THINK it's about a woman in therapy in a secluded hypermodern (in the eighties at least) facility, trying to get out

Wittenberg
13-06-2016

If you see it you might need therapy also
A weird ass trip of the first kind, in which you mostly have to figure out for yourself what to make of it as you are being sedated by the psychedelic colors and imagery. Its crawling pace is both a strength and weakness. Not for everyone, but I was quite hooked indeed.BFG, The
Girl befriends a giant and helps him to get his live back on track

Wittenberg
19-08-2016

Lovingly made but not immersing
I hate to be negative about this lovingly-put-together and fine looking movie with plenty of good moments, but ultimately it failed to grab my full attention and made me sleepy-eyed because of a lack of tension and the long dialogues.Big Hero 6
Talented young inventor must befriend (and upgrade) a clumpsy medical robot in order to save the world from his own invention

26-12-2016

A fantastic animation that is spot on with exiting action, great visuals, humor and it is not afraid to reach some deeper emotions as well.Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
Decorated Iraq soldier relives his experiences, and contemplates going back there, all during a honouring appearance in football game show

Wittenberg
14-05-2017

Lacks in too many areas to make it work
The alternating scenes of war and hollow mass entertainment could and should have generated interesting contrast, but I found it too unfocused in what it was trying to say, it lacked style, dialogue was lengthy and some themes, like the negotiations for the movie salary were uninteresting to me.Bird Box
Woman tries to bring two kids to a save haven in a world overrun by a suicide pandamonium

Wittenberg
02-01-2019

Original and exhilarating
My goodness: a highly original (not withstanding the similar 'The Happening'), strongly acted and nail-biting movie that is very well put together. Those are not easy to come by these days. It once again shows the strength of NOT showing or explaining everything and anything.Bird Box Barcelona
A man and his daughter are trying to survive in a half-blind world, where seeing creatures means instant suicide

Wittenberg
28-01-2024

A fair addition to the tale
My compliments for staying true to the concept, yet finding a story from a new viewpoint, instead of just doing the same movie again (in Barcelona). Overall, it is a pretty tense and entertaining movie, even if it slightly dozes off during the bits between the action.Birdman
A former action film hero wants to be recognised as serious actor in his own broadway play, meanwhile his world seems to be falling apart

A unique movie displaying a wealth of class-A acting by the entire cast, together with amazing camerawork literally floating through the clever script, backup up a great musical score.

Surrealistic flight with the birdman
This movie balances on the ambiguous line between arthouse and mainstream films. Surrealistic and flatout weird at times, but also insightfull, captivating and refreshing. I enjoyed this movie, to my own surprise :)Birth/Rebirth
When a mortician has secretely revived a diseased girl, the mother of the girl decides to join the experimental project

Wittenberg
05-05-2025

I am not sure it wants to be horror, but I wish it did
I appreciated the non-Hollywood characters, the passable science and the way the it portrays the quirks of running such a macabre experiment from a home. But considering what's going on, I certainly thought it ought to be way more creepy.Black Demon, The
A family vacation winds up on a decommissioned oilrig with a huge shark patroling the waters

Wittenberg
01-01-2024

Lacklustre, even for a a shark movie
For some reason big shark movies get a pass for not being of much quality, but even so this one is a bit problematic. There was a lack of inspiration to do actual sharks scenes, so there's a lot of chatty fillers about the environment and vague folklore. Some subplots even seemed abandoned.Black Eyed Susan

Even though it looks and sounds very porny, and looks like it was shot in 1970, it still manages to be a fairly interesting philosophical movie about being human. Remarkable.Black Phone, The
A boy falls into the hands of a serial kidnapper, but gets paranormal help trying to break free

Wittenberg
26-06-2025

Too made up
Some movies feel too much like a movie. They've got people that only exist in movies, doing things only people in movies do, in a story that only happens in movies. It can be hard to pinpoint how this effect occurs, but it did, and thereby took away much of the thrills.Black Sea
Sacked submarine pilot gathers team to find golden treasure on the bottom of the Black Sea

Wittenberg
13-12-2015

Somewhat exciting but slightly shallow
With both paranoia and claustrophobia in the same story, it should have gone overdrive in nail-biting tension. But it feels a bit forced and sluggish, so we're left with a fair submarine movie with a couple of exciting scenes.Black Snake Moan
When a devout Christan, ex-blues musician, finds an unconscious nymphomanic girl on his street, he takes her in to learn her better ways

Wittenberg
13-08-2023

I saw through it
Maybe I was in a bad mood or something, but it felt a bit phony and forced down your throat: Their developing friendship, the characters, the Southern blues atmosphere - all so self-aware and self-content. Still, with these actors, there is plenty left to enjoy.Black Swan
Ballet dancer pushed over the edge to portray the black Swan

Wittenberg
28-12-2021

Slightly overated but still good
A dark movie that offers some acting fireworks and I loved how the insanity and hallucinations slowly creep in. However, I cannot back up the the high appraisal it received entirely; for that I would have needed it to go deeper, further and darker.Blackcoat's Daughter, The
Two girls are left behind in a girl boardingschool during vacation, where something sinister is residing

Wittenberg
02-05-2025

A fair idea that only meanders a bit
The idea and scenery in itself should have been sufficient for a creepy and mysterious slow burner, but the girls are so drowsy, and the whole story seems a bit insecure, low-energy and incoherent, that it failed to really scare or entertain me.Blackhat
In order to combat cyber assaults on a powerplant and the stockmarket, the FBI calls in the help of an incarcerated superhacker

Wittenberg
02-08-2016

Nicely shot nonsense
It looks and sounds slick, but it is ruined by a lazy, romanticized and dumped-down Hollywood view of 'hacking' and a miscasted pretty boy as a hacker. Also, the hacker apparently was allowed to engage in FBI activities like shooting, fighting and pursuit. Preposterous.Blade Runner 2049
A more advanced android hunts down the older models, finding out things he wasn't supposed to along the way

Wittenberg
26-11-2017

Ladies and gentlemen: a sequel that's better than the original
It's got the same visual style but vastly more beautiful and elaborate. It's got the same synth-music but it is thicker and more intense. It's still a slow mover but more engrossing while doing so. It's got similar story elements but it's deeper. So like, it's better!Blade Runner: Final Cut
Blade Runner is an agent hunting down hard to spot rogue androids

Wittenberg
15-11-2017

A classic that is a little too slow for it's own good
A moody and stylish scifi movie that defined the standard for shaping futuristic dark cities and matched it with a great soundtrack. I like how it takes time for everything, including people simply going from A to B, but near the end the slow pacing isn't quite rewarded by the underwhelming climax.Blair Witch (2016)

The formula is still scary, but you start to look through it
This felt scary but over-familiar, and the realism achieved by the found footage started to feel very unrealistic instead. I mean who the hell carries this many cameras and shoots this much at these insane moment? Kudos though, for some of the actors enacting deep deep fear in the finale.Blame!

Lacks characters to make it work
With a few layers and twists on offer, the story is more interesting than I feared it would be, and I counted two pretty decent action scenes. But the one dimensional characters, of whom none is really likable, and the borderline B_movie vibe, make it hard to care about any of it.Blue is the Warmest Color (La Vie d'Adèle)

In the midst of finding her way through puberty, a girl also has to deal with her body changing into something fishy

Wittenberg
15-05-2025

A movie that should have struck more chords than it did
Both elements of the story are quite touching, and combining the supernatural with real-life misery of puberty gave it an interesting spin. Yet somehow, the movie just remained floating in the air and I didn't know what to think of it. So maybe the message didn't quiet come across.Bodies Bodies Bodies

The prospect of watching superhip Tiktok kids yelling stuff like ghosting and gaslighting while screaming and running through the house was not appealing to me. But I gotta say, these actors portray some pretty intense characters, adding to pretty intense, contemporary whodunnit film.Bodkin

These series should win a lot of fans, with a remarkable lighthearted vibe, quirky characters and plenty of small-town detective-work. For me personally, I just wasn't thrilled by it. Everything was too unlikely, convenient and too written out for that. I am not even sure I liked everyone.Body Melt

Some horror fun. Some.
With it's cartoonish characters and visuals, and with some effective gore, it is quite passable as a campy and mad horror comedy. But the script is so jumpy and allover the place, and the mood so inconsistent, that is hard to really get into it.Bokeh

Wittenberg
09-12-2017

Sympathetic and pretty, but runs out of fuel
Starts of fine with beautiful shots of Iceland, moody music, sympathetic actors and by keeping everything small and intimate. But gradually, the 'pretty scenes with music' start to feel like pointless fillers, and I think it tried to say something religious but I am not sure what.Bone Tomahawk

Served straight up, which is both good and bad
I was lured into this reading somewhere that it was a cross between western and horror. Wrongly so, because it really is a western with perhaps some gore at the end. It was okay; very linear, straightforward story with no window dressing. This made it pure and natural, but not really exciting.Book of Boba Fett, The

A bit filthy and bizarre, somewhat reminiscent of Lynch/Cronenberg weirdness and I like it. It walks a remarkable line between strange humor (puking live kittens?) and gory violence. I also like the modern day approach to witches and witchcraft.Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
Bridget tries to handle her lost love, raising two kids, aging, and most importantly, dealing with expectations from others

A bit tired
All the ingredients for the fans should be in there, but it failed to resonate with me. Her constant smirk started to look weird and overacted. My mind wandered of in some of the emotional scenes and there was a shortage of good jokes and vicarious embarrassment.Bright
Against his will, a cop gets assigned an Orc as his partner, with whom he will go through a long, dangerous night

A not entirely succesfull mixture
It's an interesting idea to, without explanation, simply put orcs and elves among people and base the story on that. But everyone's so chagrined, no one's really likable and the atmosphere is very grim, whereas orcs as basketball gang members and the elves were kind of childish to me.Brightburn
In superman fashion, a couple adopt a child that came falling from the sky. But what are his powers, how good is he?

I quite liked this
This worked remarkably well. It uses the superman foundation but takes it a whole new direction with tasteful suspense, some horror, some scifi and nice characters whilst still keeping it compact and intimate.Broken, The
One day, a woman sees herself. And discovers a terrible truth about mirrors.

A modest but pleasing sciencefiction thriller
While this movie may not be spectacular in terms of quality or script, it nevertheless has an intriguing story to tell, and does so with care and a gentle touch. There is something mature about it, not relying on trickery or spectacle, but on it's story.Brothers Grimsby, The
Lowlife british scumbag finds his long lost brother, and gets involved in his MI6 spy job along the way

Unprecentented vulgarities are not enough
Some of the scenes are so unbearably low and vulgar that in itself they could have given this movie some sort of cult status. Unfortunately, the lame action and humorless story surrounding is gets rid of that option.Cabin in the Woods
Stereotype teens go into a stereotype cabin in the woods..... but something non-stereotype is lurking

Good idea with not much else going for it
Sure it gets points for originality. But this one idea is all they had, leaving us with a unscary movie we can only like because it's original.Caligula
Caligula kills the emperor to take his place, and descents into a life orgies, paranoia, delusions of grandeur and his demise

Something embarrasing you keep looking at
The change of static scenery's and unapologetic overacting makes it feel theatric. The many explicit sex scenes mostly come across as clumsy and awkward, as does the jumpy, idiotic and embarrassing behavior of Caligula. Yes, embarrassing was my main sensation, but I have to admit I was intrigued tooCall, The
Woman gets a call from a woman living in the past. Friends at first, they end up hunting each other in different times

A well executed idea
A great idea that is played out interestingly and excitingly without overdoing it. Some horror, some thriller and smart tricks with time. I couldn't ask for more.Call-Up, The
Some gamers are invited to play a game in a lifesize simulated environment. It's all fun and games, until people actually die.

No twist?
I liked how it was all set up and some of the music in the beginning. But soon enough it is evident that the actors or screenplay are below par. But what bugged me the most is that they missed the opportunity to add some double layers and twists into the story, of which I can easily think of some.Calvaire
A man seek shelter at a French auberge, which turns horrific when the owner strats to claim him as if he were someone else.

Wittenberg

Nasty, but not in a good way
There's potential here for quiet a nasty, slowly consuming horror/thriller - you might even say it is one. But for me personally, I found the protagonist too stiff, everything a bit filthy and weird so it was hard to feel involved or empathize about it.Camera Obscura
Predictive murders show up on a depressed man's vintage camera. How far will he go to prevent them?

Wittenberg
21-01-2018

Good idea delivered somewhat plainly
It's got a great story and almost reels in that 'low budget doesn't matter when you have good ideas and actors' vibe. But I found it lacking that extra touch and sharpness. It ends up somewhat tame and slow. Some of the horrific scenes somehow left me cold.Camp X-Ray
Newbie MP soldier get stationed at Guantanamo, where she bonds with one of the detainees

Honest little gem
A sober yet rewarding experience, with an awesome looking and playing Stewart and very good music backing it up. I sort of missed a beat in the transition of Lector turning into a genuine nice guy, but that's ok.Campaign, The
Cocky congressman suddenly faces competition from an unlikely candidate in the elections

Nice, but could have used a smarter story
Funny and witty spoof of contemporary politics, that's probably not far from the truth either. Slightly let down by a simplistic and predictable story.Candyman
Artist gets fascinated by the urban legend of the lethal Candyman, who can be summoned in front of a mirror

A classy horror
A higher tier horror, which proves painfully clear how many others are just brainless scarejump pulp. This is more more interesting, well done and well told throughout. I do feel though that some scenes could and should have been more hair-raising.Capsule
Astronaut depens heavily on radiohelp from earth to get his faulty capsule to return home

Wittenberg

A lot more was required to make it this bold idea work
A bold mov(i)e which almost exclusively shows the astronaut strapped in his seat. But the amateuristic, jumpy astronaut, the repetitious dialogues and unconvincing procedures are way insufficient to make it work. There's a twist at the end, but if you made it that far you'll probably no longer care.Captain America: Civil War
All superhero's turn on each other for some reason

Wittenberg

More boring and emotionless over the top stuff
In endless talking scenes, which made my son decide to watch something else, all sorts of story-lines from other movies are desperately and uninterestingly brought together. The battles are frantic but boring because noone ever gets hurt. And I still don't care about anyone.Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Hydra has infiltrated the safety of SHIELD, and there's a new enemy as well

Wittenberg

A really mixed bag
It's more mature, confident and less hysteric than most superhero movies, due to restrained superpowers and lots of attention to the story. But, all characters are flat and unlikable, and the brawls are a bit tedious. This quality popcorn amusement feels like it could have been more than that.Captain Harlock: Space Pirate
In a spacewar for access to earth, a man inflatres a space pirate's ship to bring him down. Gradually, he starts to doubt where the real evil lies

Just enjoy the pretty graphics
Some stunning and quite unique 3d designs can't make up for the usual overacted, over dramatic way everyone behaves. And a pirate ship that is literally indestructible isn't really helping to make the otherwise vivid combat scenes exciting.Captain Marvel
A woman with superpowers and generic green aliens and avengers and tessaracts and whfff

I felt nothing
A cheerful, colorful, slick looking action superhero movie that went straight through me.Captain Philips

Nailbiting, sweaty and genuine experience
Maybe it is a tad too long, but for sure this is a compelling, griping and intense experience.

Boats, pirates and a psychological battle between two captains
Highly recommended movie, at first glance simply about the hijacking of a cargo ship. But it also conveys a deeper message by implying the complex situation in many African countries, where the difference between right and wrong is not always that clear. Authentic acting by Tom Hanks.Captain Underpants
When the evil head of school wants to seperate two best friends, they hypnotise him so he becomes their comic fantasy Captain Underpants

Ok, but a bit timid
Funny and sympathetic, but with a title like that I expected a little more rebellion, wit and anarchy (even if the climax involves a giant toilet).Captive State
An underground network of rebels fight back against alien occupation

Average
Apart from a few tasty scenes, the scifi level is very low and they might as well have been fighting human oppressors. I found it hard to follow what everyone was doing and what the plan was, and the red dust from the poster is not in this movie AT ALL. Quite average.Carnage
Single location film about parents meeting up try to resolve a physical clash between their sons. All start polite and aim to resolve the matter....

Great idea didn't work
A brave and fascinating idea that, given the actors, should have been firework. If fails however, as their quarrels are too scripted, their behavior, flip-flop mood swings and intoxication feel unnatural and phoney. And then there's the bizarre overacting of a constantly trembling Jodie Foster.Carrie (2013)
Girl with telekenetic powers and a hideous religous freakmother is being bullied one time too many

Identical yet inferior to the original
Who ordered this? A really pointless remake that does everything exactly the same, except for in the eerie atmosphere and masterful cinematography of the original. The only thing new is that the kids now have mobile phones with YouTube. Breathtaking. Moretz is overacting badly too.Movies found: 1210 | max movies per page: 100 | Showing: 101 - 200
