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.Captain Philips
An American cargo ship gets hijacked by Somali pirates (Arrr matey!)

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.Internship, The
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.Lone survivor, The

Okay these guys are tough
As these men are battered & bruised, smashed against rocks, cornered and shot, the increasing dread of death and hopelessness comes across very well. Intense movie that stuck for a while.RockmeNow

Shoot 'em up between navy seals and taliban
Main part of the movie consists of Americans and Taliban chasing, shooting, injuring and killing eachother. Apparently a navy seal can sustain more injury than Iron Man ("is there a bullet in my head?"). Overall an okay movie for those of us not easily scared by bloody scenes.Philomena

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).Riddick
After being left for dead on a hostile planet, a ship full of mercenaries is Riddicks's only way off the planet

A B-movie in disguise
Non-stop pretty, but also painfully slow, tedious and full of uninspired really poor dialogue. They are too eager to portray Riddick as a mysterious, ubercool, enigmatic hero, instead turning him into an unsympathetic showoff.Lego Movie
The insignificant life of a lego nobody turns on it's head when he is the chosen one to act against evil plans that threaten lego world

Fantastic frantic
Could have gone wrong in many ways, but did not. Loaded to the brim with action, jokes, fantastic visuals and brilliant 'real' animation. I did think it was a little to nervous and restless, and overcomplicated for kids to follow comfortably.Movies found: 1037 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 96 - 105
