How to deal with adolescent hardships (in a non-comic way)
No action or comedy flick, but a nice movie when you are in the right mood for an insightful trip into the world of adolescents and the challenges they have to face. Key words: future plans and careers, (badly ending) relationships, and alcohol abuse (to name just a few we all know so well ;) )The Colony
Members of a colony, trying to survive in a frozen world, respond to an SOS signal from a nearby colony. But what they find...

Frozen B-movie
The dark alley scenes: fine. The outside snowworld: even better. But the uninspired badguys and cat and mouse action is just plain mediocre. Then it secures its B-status by having desolate survivors with full make-up on, and Rammstein rockmusic during fight scenes.Frozen
A princess has to save her sister the queen, who has uncontrollable magical freezing abilities and brought disaster to her kingdom.

Already a classic
A gem. Loaded with great moments, beautiful songs, heartfelt emotion and it looks stunning. My boys ranked it number one, despite their general disapproval of anything princes-related.RockmeNow

Beautifully animated modern fairytale
This one has the whole package: incredible graphics, lovable characters and convincing storytelling. Though I am not a big fan of main characters singing in movies like this, it did not disturb me too much....Movie 43
Teenagers scout the internet for a movie that doesn't exist, taking them through various bizarre movies as they go

fascinatingly unfunny
In itself I can see potential in the jokes on offer. But I just gazed at these clumsy, grime and bizarre sketches without laughing once, becoming almost fascinated in the process. It's one of those 'You need the right drug first' movies, but if you find which one, it could be hysterical.The Dallas buyers club

And the oscar for actor in a leading role goes to....
Great indepth acting by McConaughey (who apparently also did some serious preparation by not eating much during the preceding year) , in a compelling movie based on a true story. Oscar winning material!12 years a slave
Another movie on slavery

An African American living in New york is kidnapped and sold as slave
Based on a true story addressing the gruesome consequences of slavery in the southern states of mid 19th century America. Although I can appreciate this movie and the message it portrays, there are other movies on this topic that I find more memorable.The Internship
With no relevant skills, two sacked salesmen enlist for an internship at Google.

404 humor not found
Instead of having a ball with the funny premise, this movie is extremely generic, consisting entirely out of tiresome jokes and gut-wrenching Hollywood cliches so banal it made me look away from the screen.Philomena
A journalist and an elderly lady are on a quest to find her son who she had to give up for adoption fifty years ago

Light hearted drama that is actually worth a watch
Sympathetic movie with a touching story based on true events (including the dubious role of the catholic church in child adoptions in Ireland), and very convincing acting by Judi Dench. Ideal movie for men who want to show their partner they actually have a sensitive side as well....Iron Sky
Not realizing the war is over, the nazis on the dark side of the moon are preparing an invasion of earth

They should have gone crazier
Smart ideas and very smart looks, but ultimately it lacks the inspiration to really succeed as either a comedy or action adventure. A b-ish flavour remains. They should have gone whack.All Is Lost
Solo sailer tries to survive when his ship is rammed by an adrift sea container.

Intimate and gripping
Very good and very close portrait of a man struggling against all odds. The absence of dialogue is mesmerizing and effective. I felt guilty opening a beer while watching this. I think that's a good sign (but I still opened one nonetheless).Movies found: 1040 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 86 - 95
