A good movie about something bad
Needless to say a rather depressing affair, but it isn't dwelling in it's misery. There's a (intentional?) contrast with the sunny beach, mellow light and ordeal that is taking place. The developing relationship with the ruthless captain and the boys worked for me.I am Thinking of Ending Things
Woman takes a long roadtrip to meet her parents-in-law, but the jounrey and visit get darker and stranger as it goes

A strange but tasty slowburner
A well-acted and mysterious flick that makes you sense something is wrong way before it is. It is slow and without a manual, but near the end you wind up so clueless that it leaves a slightly unrewarding feeling though.Superbad
Two constantly arguing but inseparable friends on a mission to get booze and laid on the last party of the year

The Tarantino of highschool movies
The constant and lengthy foul-mouthed dialogues and contemplations create an atmosphere reminiscent of Tarantino movies. It's kind of like an adult version of highschool movies. Cool.Shin Godzilla

A reboot done well, good stuff for the fans
Clearly made with much love and respect for the original, with no Americanism in sight. Effects strike a balance between the original feel of the movies and modern techniques, without drowning in CGI coldness. The bureaucratic struggle to get anything done in time was a nice framework.Keep Breathing
Woman survices a crash landing, and needs to surive the wild as well as her inner demons

Clever survival story
Although the numerous flashbacks sometimes get in the way of the action, they are also a clever way too tell a survival story in a broad sense of the word. I guess it makes sense that you spend a lot of time with your thoughts in a situation like this. Nice.Total Recall (2012)
Man inserts cool secret agent memories in his brain

A very decent sci-fi action thriller.
If you manage to NOT see this as a reboot, it's a fine sci-fi action flick with some great designs.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

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.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.Proxima
Female astronaut must balance her work with taking care being there for her little girl

Touching and intimate parenthood story with a cool context
I was lured into this by Eva Green, space and the awesome trailer music (which shadows Ryuichi Sakamoto's slightly lazy soundtrack). But what is is mostly is a struggle of career, dreams and parenthood, and a pretty good one at that. But I still want a 'real' Eva Green space movie.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.Movies found: 1045 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 261 - 270
