Exactly what Joker's origin story deserves
It's done right. You can feel the man sliding off, the transformation is plausible and understandable, it's not simplistic right and wrong, and I sympathized with him. The movie also features beautifully lit scenery and of course world class acting.The Beaver

Can I say 'great' about this much depression?
Even the premise of this movie gets you depressed, but it was a fine piece of work - courtesy of the actors in this.Captain Philips

Nailbiting, sweaty and genuine experience
Maybe it is a tad too long, but for sure this is a compelling, griping and intense experience.RockmeNow

Boats, pirates and a psychological battle between two captains
Highly recommended movie, at first glance simply about the hijacking of a cargo ship. But it also conveys a deeper message by implying the complex situation in many African countries, where the difference between right and wrong is not always that clear. Authentic acting by Tom Hanks.The Eyes of my Mother

Not for everyone perhaps, a delicacy
It has a unique atmosphere that is dark, sad and macabre, even of the blood won't show red in the black and white execution.Memoria

Not suitable for jitterbugs, quite magical for the rest of us
This will put you to the test, as it consist entirely of static shots that take an eternity and in which very little appears to happen. It may be a bit arrogant and pretentious (and boring?) at times, but the setup also constitutes a serene, mysterious and hypnotic atmosphere that is very special.Life of Pi
After a shipwreck, boy is stuck on a lifeboat with wild animals as he sails into a trippy journey

wonderful journey
Intriguing mix of hardship and fantasy storytelling. Unique, brave and utterly beautiful.Inside Out

Unique, emotional, courageous and wonderful
One of the most unique, brave and original movies ever to come out of a major animation studio. A collage of symbolism en abstractions that is still child-friendly and a great experience. It made me cry as well, which I needed to hide from popcorn munching kiddies all around me in the theater.The House that Jack Built
A serial killer collecting the bodies in a freezer, and also trying to build a house

A shocker with depth
Jack's methods are not slick, but somewhat insecure and clumsy, which only adds to a the morbid sensation of watching going about his work and dragging around corpses. His constant dialogues with his conscience (?) and the peculiar use of stock footage elevates this movie from just being a shocker.The Witcher
Man with witch mutations roams the land for work (slaying monsters), but then destiny crosses his path

Different and diverse
I needed about two episodes to get into it, but then I really was enjoying the very diverse adventures, the interesting and colorful characters, the exciting fantasy world, the sizzling hot nudity, and the way the characters started to cross each others paths. Or was I just mesmerized by Yennifer?The Covenant
An American soldier's life in Afghanistan is saved by a local translator, a debt he gets to pay back.

Good and gripping
A good war movie with some tense moments, good performances and a gripping story of debt and friendship. I was quite moved by it. Only their perfect aim, especially compared to the Taliban's, was a bit dissapointing.Movies found: 1042 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 46 - 55
