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.Her

True love
Part of me wished the artificial intelligence and the relationship evolved more slowly, more bumpy, more clumpsy. But it still stands as a unique love story, that actually evokes that bubbly love feeling amidst a cold digital context. Johansson's irresistible voice is a master stroke too.RockmeNow

Relationships in the digital era 2.0
An interesting movie on the role technology plays, and might play in the near future, in human life. Including a redefinition of relationships, love, emotions and ultimately the consciousness debate is touched upon as well. If you managed to finish this review, you might just like the movie ;)Wild

Honest and beautiful, but not profound
A sympathetic idea and story that is naturally acted and shot. It's all served in a simple, straightforward way, albeit at the cost of not quite nailing the deeper ends. I also didn't 'feel' the sheer length of this journey.RockmeNow

Hilarious fun in the sponge bob universe!
Great movie for both kids and parents, with impressive 3d effects enhancing the overall experience. Do not try to touch the soap bubbles with cannon balls (just to warn you)....Wittenberg

Whack!
Of course you have to GET the hysteria and oddity that is Spongebob. But if you do, you're in for a funny and whacky movie bursting with colors and pleasant anarchy. Incidentally, the 3D version features some of the the most effective and sharpest looking 3D yet!Melancholia

This slow, depressing but fascinating study makes global disaster 10 times more profound than Armageddon ever did.hente

Earth is about to collide with another planet
Astro-nerds will stumble over the technical flaws in this visual treat. Not a movie to watch any time of the day or night but only when you feel down and mellow wanting to go all the way into yourself. Lesson: only the depressed can help us in times of disaster because they have nothing to loose.Candyman

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.Barbarian

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.Antiviral
In the future, loyal fans want the diseases of their idols. A broker in such sicknesses gets a bit too involved.

Sickening - in a good way
A nasty and slightly disturbing premise that is cleverly neutralised in a clean, bright white scenery. An intriguing watch.Animalia

A beautiful mystery
The things are in fact quite vague, and I am not even sure I understand what was happening. But somehow is doesn't really matter. It is a journey of believable, interesting people that grabs and enchants you, without knowing where it is going.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.Movies found: 1040 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 151 - 160
