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.Looper

Mean and original
Apart from a slowish middle section, it's a wicked, smart and playfull timetravel movie.Finding Dory
It's actually more like "Finding Dory's Parents"

For a sequel, this seems about right!
While it won't yield the awe of the first one, simply because we are used to it, I'd say it quite successfully finds a balance between delivering what made the first one so good, and introducing a new story, plenty of memorable moments and some new fun characters.Eden Lake
Couple goes to a lake to have a romantic time, but a gang of youngsters turn it into hell

Unpleasant weekend trip
Things really go south, and you really feel for the couple as it goes from spoiling to terrorizing and worse. Making the gang all kids makes it all very uncomfortable, as you want them to smash their heads against a rock but they sort of can't.Nymphomaniac I
Man brings home a woman he found lying on the street, who then shares with him her life as a nymph.

A succesfull approach for a subject like this
I needed some time to make up my mind. Never quite sure whether it is erotic or just plain nasty, whether it is pretentious or unique and brave. Overall, not a pleasant experience, but one with impact and substance, and some images that keep on haunting me.65

Simple but highly enjoyable
I guess it's guilty of doing some dinosaur cliche's, and perhaps we won't ever be impressed by them again as we once did. But I liked seeing them in a different scifi context, and I also thought the movie was a simple but very solid and amusing ride. Adam manages to elevate it far above pulp.Under the skin
Alien version of Scarlett Johannsson looking for men who will not live to tell about their close encounter

A pleasant mystery
The mystery of not quite getting what is going on really adds to suspense and intrigue and this stylish scifi. Low profile in an effective way, but the many long scenes can be a bit much at times.RockmeNow

Bit weird and unsettling, but nevertheless interesting and sensual
A must see for those interested in original alien movies, Scarlett Johansson, or both. Partially filmed with standard digital cameras, providing a successfull hidden camera experience. Visual effects from the eighties and creepy sounds throughout the movie provide the cherry on top.Lodge, The
Two children wind up alone in an isolated lodge with the mysterious, former-cultmember new girlfriend of their father

A very decent if not somewhat inplausible mystery/horror
When I thought about this movie afterwards, I started feeling the story was rather far fetched in places, but this didn't bother when I watched it. Instead, I rather enjoyed the ominous mood, the tasteful reli-creepiness and the cold scenery.Serenity
In a divided universe, the crew of a rogue spacehip takes along a fugitive psychic girl who brings them great trouble but also truth

A little scifi gem
It's a bit campy and occasionally borderline B-movie-ish. But it never crosses that line, instead delivering many memorable and well done scifi moments, some great designs and humor that works.Mandela Effect, The
After loosing his daughter, a guy gets obsessed with the ´Mandela Effect´ (look it up), possibly as a way to get her back

Well done despite limited resources
It feels a bit low-budget and simplistic at times, but it still hits the mark at exploring this phenomenon and incorporating it into a very entertaining, thought-provoking movie. It had me look into this stuff afterwards and check the Monopoly guy for sure.Movies found: 1048 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 186 - 195
