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.Lucid Dream

Disappointing
The awesome idea turns out to be mostly a rather plain detective/crime story, and the way the whole dreaming thing was supposed to be working seemed rushed and like they didn't really care too much either.The Interview

Another okay-ish comedy
Given the the actors, plot and possibilties, I expected more of this. Besides a few laughs, there's also very long periods with not much in it, and the movie can be hysteric and a bit embarrassing at times.Ichi The Killer
A ganster mob routine of torturing and killing people gets disrupted by a mysterious killer that leaves the rooms soaked in blood and guts

A torture movie for research rather than enjoyment
I actually got used to the torture scenes of amputations and various acts with sharp objects. I actually became somewhat interested in, and empathized with, the mysterious killer. But mostly I still felt sick and depressed rather than amused after watching this.Evil Dead (2013)
Kids go into the woods to rehab a friend Then they find a book and unwillingly release hell.

Slashing that still leaves you indifferent
As a cabin slasher it appeared solid and effective, yet I couldn't really get scared or excited by it. Characters too dull and silly, story too well known.Sputnik
Sputnik cosmonauts crash on earth, one of them is carying something unearthly with him. A doctor is asked to investigate.

A bit slow
While subjects like this are always a killer, and I liked the Russian take and atmosphere for a change, I found the movie to be rather sluggish. There's a lot of talking and walking through the hallways with too little excitement or tension, nor did I find everything very credible.Dummie de Mummie en de tombe van Achnetoet
After a Dutch children's book, in which a family takes their fostered mummy-son to Egypt so he can find his roots

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).Possum
A man tries to get rid of a horrendous puppet

A respectable but not entirely succesful oddity
An oddball, slightly experimental film that is pretty close to being fascinatingly disturbing. However, for that it needed more truly intense moments, perhaps some more depth in the story, and perhaps most importantly: a bit more speed, as it sometimes almost comes to a standstill.Blue is the Warmest Color (La Vie d'Adèle)
Girl becomes lesbian

Beautiful but too long and too slow
You have to admire how the gorgeous lead actrices carry this story with beautifully authentic acting. But everything takes so freaking long in this movie, everything is so spread out that in the end even the intimate love scenes started to bore me.Movies found: 1040 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 291 - 300
