Superman remains tough to beat, and tough to make a good film out of
They have given him some worthy adversaries other than kryptonite, resulting in some really smashing showdowns. But the storytelling is messy, and Hollywood still doesn't realize that an overdose of fast, blurry and over the top destruction only leaves viewers bored and cut off from the movie.Casablanca
World war II, boy meets girl (again), Germans doing their bad-ass stuff, self-sacrifice and true love

Perfect movie for a sentimental mood
Obviously this movie is a classic according to 95% of the world population, but until today I never seemed to be in the right mood to actually start watching it. The first minutes it felt somewhat dated, but soon I was fully drawn into the story. Overall an immersive experience, a classic indeed!Kapringen

Strength by purity
Very well played and realistically shot drama, that cleverly switches between the cold, calculated negotiations and the sweaty, messy situation on the ship. It disposes of all ornaments, which makes it a honest if not somewhat sterile experience.Kick-ass 2

You may not get it
It is hard to connect with this strange mixture of crazy outfits, ridiculous people, bizarre plot, lessons in life and bloody violence. But once I did - way into the movie - I started to laugh and was quite entertained.Machete Kills

Deliberately plain, dumb and violent fun.
I am never quite sure where to draw the line between a bad movie and an ode to a bad movie. But I am sure there's some ok fun and slashing to be had here.Free Birds
Turkeys travel back in time to wipe their species from thanksgiving menu forever

Somehow it didn't really work.
It's a vibrant, original, good looking adventure with plenty of good jokes... yet still it doesn't quite take off. Something flat and distant remains, and maybe relating to turkeys in a time machine is just a bit too much to ask.The Croods

Great prehistoric graphics and fun
Not overly successful in setting up characters you start to love, but beautifully rendered, quite exciting and good for a few laughs. I deduction half a point because it failed to make a lasting impression on my kids.Dark Shadows
Vampire wakes up in the seventies and sets out to bring back wealth to the family offspring

Surprisingly boring
Despite colorful characters and a potentially funny story, this movie is remarkably boring, and the Tim Burtonesque overacting and pacing got on my nerves here. Partially saved by a delightful Eva Green and a reasonable climax.Cottage Country
When an idiot brother is about to ruin a romatic weekend of two lovers, one bloody accident leads to another

A naughtly mixture of humor and bloody murder
Successfully plays out comedy and murder throughout the movie in an unusual but successful cocktail.Olympus has Fallen
Terrorists take over whitehouse, fallen security agent comes to the rescue

The same old mistakes
A dark atmosphere and some hefty gung-ho warfare could have made this intense, were it not for the inevitable patriotism and flag waving, annoying Hollywood plot conveniences and stereotype terrorists (oh come on - nuclear launch codes, again?).Movies found: 1042 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 66 - 75
