More clean and comprehensible, but at the cost of atmosphere
I enjoyed another round of the adventures of this fabulous team. There is plenty of cool stuff in there, and I could actually follow the story this time. The graphics however, while crisp and clear, are also a bit lifeless, and the major somehow lost her mojo for me - even if she is an android.The Last Duel
Story behind the last official duel of the middle ages, when there were almost no colors

Well made and interesting, but know it's basically lengthy love drama
What a great idea to explore what was behind these duels: Who were these people? What were they fighting for? And while the movie is made with much class and great acting, it still felt like a love-triangle-jealousy kind of thing which almost is a bit soapy at times.Paranormal Activity 2
(mostly) securitycamera footage of a family being haunted

Novel en successful idea approach to a horror flick
Probably a rehash of part 1, but since I have not yet seen that, I will honor this one for the brave, effective and chilling way of telling a horror story. The actual events and pacing are a bit under powered for it to become truly terrifying, though.Monstrous
Woman and her son want to leave the past behind in a new house near a pond... but something lurks

Great reveal and vibe, but somehow didn't quite nail it
The reveal at the end, and some pondering on my part, made me realize this is actually a pretty clever movie. But the bubbly 50's colors and cartoonish acting of the mother, while creating a unique atmosphere, sort of diminished the scares - which were already a bit cliched.We're the Millers

Easy-going uncomplicated comedy
Original jokes, more than the occasional laugh, and Jennifer Anniston doing lap dances, what else could you possibly want from a movie nowadays?Wittenberg

A feelgood wih a bite
Funny actors, deliciously embarrassing moments and some wicked jokes easily lift this feelgood movie above average.Veronica

Familair but with it's own sauce
Story wise it is familiar material, but the scares are quite subtle and less hysteric than usual. I liked the Spanish vibe on this and especially the three kids were great. But why it's hailed as one of the scariest movies ever made, I have no idea. The music sounds outdated and isn't helping.La Nuée

A sober animal horror that fails to push through
In a way, this is the eighties animal swarm horror movies re-imagined in a much more realistic, restrained and adult way. It works for the most part, but the same simple and slow atmosphere also had me yearning for some more excitement.Taeter City
In a future where criminals are turned into burgers, people hunt for an individual who seems immune to the controlling radiowaves. Or something.

A bizarre gore anarchy
Initially I was wondering if there was going to be any point to this, but gradually the continuous very gory executions, set against this totalitarian society with continuous advertisement for human meat.... somehow began to work. Very rebellious and sickening. For some, that is a plus.Oldboy

curious revenge tale
A curious revenge tale that benefits from some surrealistic and disorienting elements. Highly original and quite brutal at times. But I must admit that none of it really stuck - i am having a hard time remembering it.Eagle vs. Shark
