2006-03-01 20:23

French cinema with all of its weirdness. Just ok. The mountain part was great though.
0.3
On a Clear Day (2005) 2.5/5
2006-03-02 21:03

Unrealistic, boring and pathetic in some moments. And yes, I hate Brenda Blethyn.

0.3
Bestia nel cuore, La (2005) 4.5/5

Touching. Heartbraking. Tear-jerker (almost).
0.3
Itiraf (2002) 1/5
2006-03-06 16:20

Boring and pointless.
0.3
Dnevnoy dozor (2006) 4/5
2006-03-07 23:05

0.3

2006-03-08 01:40

Pasikowski's Psy in the year 2005. Very good portrait of Poland.

0.3
Clara et moi (2004) 3/5
2006-03-10 01:27

Despite being a very good movie, I felt disconnected from the story. I couldn't share his feelings. Was it because it is a French movie or because of my empathy level being too low?
0.3

I liked Abel Ferrara more when he was making movies about bad cops and gangsters.

Your typical Bollywood movie. Singing and all that jazz.
0.3
Joyeux Noël (2005) 4/5
2006-03-14 17:25

It might seem a little bit naive, but the feeling fades away the moment you know the movie is based on a true story.
0.3
Tom yum goong (2005) 2/5
2006-03-14 20:22

Ong-bak was so much better...

Heartwarming, maybe a little naive, but still a very nice story.
0.3
Yôkai daisensô (2005) 3/5
2006-03-16 00:06

Your typical Takashi Miike with his weirdness. Only this time in the fantasy realm.

Weak story with good sex scenes.
0.3

Decent thriller. Clive Owen, as always, fabulous.

Urban drama at its best. Dutch. Truly, a masterpiece.
0.3
Innocence (2004/II) 0.5/5
2006-03-21 00:33

Two hours of a complete boredom. I mean there is really nothing going on in this movie! Just some naked adolescent girls dancing and running around.
0.3
Keine Lieder über Liebe (2005) 3/5
2006-03-21 21:09

German 9 Songs. With a story. Without sex.
0.3

0.3

2006-03-24 22:44

Almost like Almost Famous. Almost. Much different though. Tom Schilling is the best.

Schematic, yet powerful.
0.3
King Kong (2005) 4.5/5
2006-03-26 00:09

It is truly the eighth wonder of the world. And they killed him... bastards!
0.3

2006-03-27 00:15

Decent, but Palme d'Or? Festival de Cannes is strange.
0.3

2006-03-27 21:03

Road movie in the wild wild west.
0.3
Yesterday (2004) 3/5
2006-03-28 01:49

Simply too sad to bare, so I felt rather disconnected from the story. Yet it's a beautiful movie.

2006-03-28 20:51

Wonderful. Brilliant. Fucking awesome!

0.3
Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005) 2.5/5
2006-03-31 22:38

0.3

April, 2006

The Dying Gaul (2005) 4/5
2006-04-01 01:30

I'm not quite sure what to make out of this movie. Little bit over the top? Sure. Still, it left me kind of speechless. Why this, why that...

Powerful and touching. Real.

I believe it's the third time I'm watching it and it's still damn good.
0.3
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) 3/5
2006-04-03 22:51

Fantasy in it's fullest. Great effects, spectacular battles. Pity, it's so childish, so of course no one dies (on the good side, that is) yet there's a war going on. Nonetheless it's quite enjoyable.
0.3
Wu ji (2005) 3.5/5
2006-04-04 23:21

Chinese fantasy. Decent, maybe just a little bit over the top, but such is always the case with high budget Chinese movies.

Nothing beats a docu about a porn star.
0.3
Caterina va in città (2003) 1.5/5
2006-04-09 01:45

Hectic, senseless, annoying and absurd.
0.3

Powerful.
0.3
Príbehy obycejného sílenství (2005) 4.5/5

Petr Zelenka is a comedy genius.
0.3

0.3

Decent. Brilliant ending, yet still just decent.
0.3
Breakfast on Pluto (2005) 3.5/5
2006-04-15 00:48

Expecting a Sci-Fi movie was probably a little bit naive. Still, it was a good story.
0.3
Perdición de los hombres, La (2000) 2/5
2006-04-16 01:59

Good story, but weak acting, poor dialogue and lousy direction. Boring...
0.3
Promeneur du champ de Mars, Le (2005) 3.5/5
2006-04-17 21:19

A tribute to Franocis Mitterrand. I wish history wasn't my Achilles heel, so I could understand more from this movie.
0.3
Brokeback Mountain (2005) 4.5/5
2006-04-18 01:12

Brokeback love.

The Family Stone (2005) 4.5/5

0.3
13 (Tzameti) (2005) 4.5/5
2006-04-29 19:05

Bollywood. Uhm, no.
0.3

Sad story set in today's Algeria.

Semi so-so. I'm beggining to be allergic to romantic comedies.
0.3
Loggerheads (2005) 4/5
2006-05-12 19:54

Quiet, simple yet very powerful drama.
0.3
Last Holiday (2006) 3.5/5
2006-05-13 01:05

2006-05-14 00:40

Wonderful. Great story and unbelievably good music.
0.3
The King (2005) 4/5
2006-05-16 19:54

Small, quiet American drama in the suburbs. Plus unexpected acts of brutal violence. Excellent work.
0.3
Svolochi (2006) 3/5
2006-05-17 00:13

Decent. Could've been much better with bigger budget (poor CGI) and a little bit different cast (those kids can't act).
0.3
The New World (2005) 3.5/5
2006-05-17 23:15

Too much poetry, beauty, love. Too little gore, fight, war. And too sentimental too. It felt like I've been watching a different movie from the one I've expected. Still, it was a good watch.
0.3
Munich (2005) 5/5
2006-05-18 23:26

Anti-Semitic, anti-Arabic. Very, very powerful.
0.3
Ushpizin, Ha- (2004) 3/5

Decent. As for an Israeli movie, that is.
0.3
Khamosh Pani: Silent Waters (2003) 4/5
2006-05-20 00:58

0.3
Syriana (2005) 5/5
2006-05-20 21:50

"China's economy ain't growing as fast as it could because they can't get all the oil they need. Now, I'm damn proud of that fact". Very powerful. And so true... You should watch this movie at least twice to "get" all the twists and quirks.
0.3
Firewall (2006) 2.5/5
2006-05-21 18:23

So-so. Very naive. Nice use of modern technology, though.
0.3
Keane (2004) 2.5/5
2006-05-21 19:54

Similar to Bu jian and similarly tiresome.
0.3
Running Scared (2006) 4.5/5
2006-05-22 00:39

Modern western. Hollywood does guns movies extremely well and this one's no exception. Two hours of intense action that does not stop for a minute.
0.3
Grandma's Boy (2006) 4.5/5
2006-05-23 01:41

So stupid as its title and as much funny. It's an American Pie humor, but it's still funny as hell.
0.3

2006-05-25 23:25

Good cast wasted by a not so interesting script and poor dialogues.
0.3

Lousy. And what's worse, there's zero pr0n.
0.3
Down in the Valley (2005) 2.5/5
2006-05-26 23:58

So-so. Kind of sensless actions of the main character.
0.3
Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School (2005) 3/5
2006-05-27 23:11

Mediocre. Bonus point for being a movie about dancing.
0.3
Keulraesik (2003) 1/5
2006-05-29 23:52

Pathetic, boring, dull. No more "romance" movies for me.
0.3
Skazany na bluesa (2005) 4.5/5
2006-05-30 19:22

Moving. Great music.
0.3

Violent portrait of modern Romania.
0.3
Kurtlar vadisi - Irak (2006) 4/5
2006-05-31 22:47

0.3

June, 2006

2006-06-05 01:17

Much, much too weird for my taste.
0.3

2006-06-05 22:26

0.3
16 Blocks (2006) 3.5/5
2006-06-07 00:39

Nothing new here. It's all been already done. Good cop, bad cop, good guys, bad guys. Still, it's a good watch.
0.3
The White Countess (2005) 3/5
2006-06-08 00:34

Beautifully shot and a little bit too long. So-so in general.
0.3
Underworld: Evolution (2006) 2.5/5
2006-06-09 00:03

I'm getting too old for this...

0.3
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) 4/5
2006-06-15 12:14

OMFG! 'nuff said.
0.3

2006-07-16 01:17

Uhm, no. I'll give it a strong 4 for trying to be different than all other gay/coming out movies. Bear Cub still holds the trophy for the best gay movie, followed closely by Brokeback Mountain.

0.3
The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) 3.5/5
2006-07-30 12:15

0.3
Plac Zbawiciela (2006) 5/5

Tylko mnie kochaj (2006) 2.5/5
2006-08-04 19:25

0.3
Final Destination 3 (2006) 3/5
2006-08-04 21:19

0.3
Poseidon (2006) 4/5
2006-08-07 00:44

Typical disaster film. In order to enjoy it you must like the genre very much as there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary in this movie. For me, as always, it is a very good time as I love those kind of movies.
0.3
Candy (2006) 3.5/5
2006-08-08 01:08

Not your average drug movie.

Very very sad movie.
0.3
Take the Lead (2006) 2.5/5
2006-09-04 01:11

So bad and so stupid it's ridiculous. It gets 3 points for one good Tango sequence and another 2 for being based on a true story.
0.3
The Moguls (2005) 3/5
2006-09-04 20:43

Just OK. Could've been better. Good ending, though.

0.3
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) 2/5
2006-09-10 23:57

Weak story, weak acting and on top of that the race sequences are mostly computer generated, which makes them a far cry from BMW clips with Clive Owen. The only thing good in here was the music.

0.3
Summer Love (2006) 4.5/5
2006-09-12 18:10

Probably the first true Polish western (spaghetti to be exact). With English dialogue with weird accent, shootings, prairie, Ennio Moriconne like soundtrack and not too smart characters. Great fun (31. FPFF Gdynia '06).

0.3
Dzisiaj jest piątek (2007) 3/5
2006-09-15 17:24

Movie as a computer game. In Swedish.
0.3
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) 4/5
2006-09-20 21:45

Decent. Goood for a well worn subject, meaning that that other bee movie – that documentary that got the Oscar or was close to getting one – was better.
0.3

2006-10-03 00:55

The thing that the main character - Gary Grobowski played by Vince Vaughn - is from Poland and the fact that he emphasize this in every possible moment is simply great. I was laughing very hard. And it has some very brilliant moments. Highly enjoyable.

The Omen (2006) 4/5
2006-10-04 00:57

Decent. Quite scary too. Good watch and not your average ending.

Sommer vorm Balkon (2005) 4/5
2006-10-07 01:06

Simply put, it's just very very good!
0.3
The Lake House (2006) 3.5/5
2006-10-20 00:34

I really hate remakes, especially if I've seen the <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0282599/">original</a>. Still, this one made me cry too ... so shat's why I give it 7 instead of 5.
0.3
Elementarteilchen (2006) 4.5/5
2006-10-21 00:30

Lust for love...
0.3
Persona non grata (2005) 4.5/5
2006-10-21 23:03

Very intelligent political (diplomatic) drama that turns out to be a movie about life, love and passing, death.
0.3
10th & Wolf (2006) 3/5
2006-10-23 00:20

So-so take on a mob movie.
0.3
Save the Last Dance 2 (2006) 1.5/5
2006-10-23 23:45

Uhm, not really that much dancing here... and piss-poor script/acting on top of that.
0.3
Thank You for Smoking (2005) 4.5/5
2006-10-24 01:16

Brilliant in teaching you all the wrong things.
0.3
Cars (2006) 3/5
2006-10-25 01:34

Simple and funny, yet I get the feeling I'm getting too old for those kind of movies.
0.3
Art School Confidential (2006) 4/5
2006-10-26 01:04

Poking l'Arte straight in the eye. So stupid. So funny.
0.3
Beyza'nin kadinlari (2006) 2/5
2006-10-27 01:15

Boring/pointless.
0.3
Nacho Libre (2006) 2.5/5
2006-10-28 20:29

Stupid and funny to some extent. Just as every other Jack Black's movie.
0.3
Over the Hedge (2006) 4.5/5
2006-10-29 14:30

Hilarious. Definitely not your average kids movie.

Couldn't be more stereotypical.

November, 2006

The Quiet Earth (1985) 2.5/5
2006-11-02 01:47

Vintage Sci-Fi with a very promising synopsis and much poorer realization.
0.3
Requiem (2006) 2/5
2006-11-03 01:47

Uhm, boring and kind of not entertaining.
0.3
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) 3.5/5
2006-11-05 00:01

So stupid it's not even funny. No, wait a minute, actually it was funny just because it was so stupid! Nonetheless it was a great action flick. But absolutely nothing more than that.
0.3
Strangers with Candy (2005) 1.5/5
2006-11-06 01:21

No. Double no. Triple no. Uhm, you get the point. It had 3-4 laughs but that's it.
0.3
Superman Returns (2006) 2/5
2006-11-07 00:57

I think that the outstanding problem with Superman is the fact that he is the Superman. Meaning, that his powers are limitless and he can basically do anything he wants. And that creates a little bit too wide disproportion between him and his enemies. In consequence there is no way to write a good script for him and this movie is a perfect example of that.
0.3
Monster House (2006) 3/5
2006-11-09 01:27

Horror/thriller for kids. Comes short of Miyazaki's work, though.
0.3
Angel-A (2005) 2.5/5
2006-11-10 01:56

So-so.
0.3
Miami Vice (2006) 2/5
2006-11-11 01:26

Didn't really catch my attention. I've even begun to think that I'm getting too old for Hollywood action movies but then I've read some trashing imdb reviews and everything went back to normal. This movie is simply bad!
0.3
Twelve and Holding (2005) 4.5/5
2006-11-13 01:23

Completely blew me away. Larry Clark would be proud.
0.3
Shi gan (2006) 2.5/5
2006-11-15 01:45

Mediocre work from an exceptional director.
0.3
Scoop (2006) 4/5
2006-11-16 18:52

Good old Woody Allen. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a quite well made plain story.
0.3
Renaissance (2006) 5/5
2006-11-17 01:54

Without death, life has no meaning. Blew me away.
0.3

Uhm, no. Boring...
0.3
Ronda nocturna (2005) 3/5

Psychodelic trip by night in Buenos Aires (aka cheating death).
0.3
Nachtgestalten (1999) 4/5
2006-11-22 01:26

0.3
World Trade Center (2006) 3.5/5
2006-11-28 18:37

While United 93 was like OMFG this one is just good.

A little bit boring, especially for a movie treating about sex.
0.3
Iluzija (2004) 4.5/5
2006-12-04 00:42

I've learned one thing: there is no escape from the sewer. Disturbing.

Interesting take on love between 14 year old girl and a middle aged man.

Loosely connected magical stories about a forgotten country in the eastern Europe, Slovakia.

Simple, stupid and naive yet quite fun in a way. Thumbs up!
0.3
Lady in the Water (2006) 4.5/5
2006-12-09 00:35

Ancient fairy tales for grown ups, this is M. Night Shyamalan's speciality and he really shines in this one. Great bed time story.
0.3
A Scanner Darkly (2006) 5/5
2006-12-10 00:57

Naked Lunch meets Requiem for a Dream. Simply put: brilliant.
0.3
Laitakaupungin valot / Lights in the Dusk (2006) 3/5
2006-12-11 01:17

Typical Aki Kaurismäki. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

Not my type of movie.
0.3
Invincible (2006) 4.5/5
2006-12-16 18:31

The story is played 100% by the book. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happens, yet it has grasped my heart (just like most of the other sport movies).
0.3
Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006) 4.5/5
2006-12-18 00:39

Canadian take on good cop/bad cop genre with style & humor.
0.3
Man of the Year (2006) 2.5/5
2006-12-20 01:35

Not as good as I've expected it to be. Too many flaws in the story.
0.3
Crank (2006) 2.5/5
2006-12-23 00:03

Crank aka Rambo on Steroids. Quite stupid, of course, but what's worse it's not too good.
0.3
Brysomme mannen, Den (2006) 4/5
2006-12-23 20:40

Quite good, although it was played few times before (so nothing new here).
0.3
The Black Dahlia (2006) 3.5/5
2006-12-25 00:31

Police crime/drama that takes place in the 40s. Not that bad as imdb wants it to be.
0.3
Step Up (2006) 2.5/5
2006-12-25 23:18

Naive and schematic, barely watchable, although the opening and closing dance scenes were quite good.
0.3
Alice (2005/I) 2/5
2006-12-27 02:06

Yet another movie in the missing child genre. Boring...
0.3
Wah-Wah (2005) 2/5
2006-12-30 01:45

Wah wah? Nah nah.
0.3
Snakes on a Plane (2006) 2.5/5
2006-12-30 22:47

Much ado about nothing! Apart from the few funny moments, it's nothing special. The best part is actually the music video in the end. Oh, and on top of that most of the snakes are just CGI...
0.3
The Illusionist (2006) 5/5
2006-12-31 17:49

Pure magic.

Uhm, stupid, stupid and stupid. Oh yea, and stupid too ;)
0.3
Saw III (2006) 2.5/5
2007-01-09 01:38

So-so. The first part was the best (as is usually the case with remakes).
0.3
The Last Kiss (2006) 3/5
2007-01-10 00:23

Good, but the original was so much much better.
0.3

2007-01-11 01:46

Truth stranger than fiction.

Stupid. Just as expected.
0.3
Gridiron Gang (2006) 4.5/5
2007-01-15 00:10

Great underdog story. Stereotypical, yet still very good (as is usually the story...). The documentary bits in the end gave this movie a whole different dimension.
0.3
Children of Men (2006) 5/5
2007-01-16 00:17

OMFG what have ~~they~~ we done...
0.3
The Guardian (2006/I) 5/5
2007-01-17 01:08

Schematic? Yes. Over the top story? Yes. Predictable? More or less, sure. Still... I cried like a little baby during the last half...
0.3
The Holiday (2006) 1/5
2007-01-19 01:51

Almost utter crap. It had like... maybe 1 good moment.

Very funny comedy :)
0.3
Loving Annabelle (2006) 1.5/5
2007-01-21 01:48

Predictable from the beginning till the end and on top of that boring...
0.3
The Wild Blue Yonder (2005) 3/5
2007-01-22 01:54

Poor man's Sci-Fi that poses some interesting questions. Poetic and, in consequence, boring at some points...
0.3
Soap, En (2006) 4.5/5
2007-01-24 02:19

Brilliant.
0.3
Flyboys (2006) 2/5
2007-01-26 23:54

Kind of boring and pointless. We've seen it all a zillion times. And CGI was not up to par with todays effects (all aircraft fights were cgi...).
0.3
Habitante incierto, El (2004) 4/5

Tony Blair vs Queen Elizabeth II. Good.
0.3
"South Park" Make Love, Not Warcraft (2006) 5/5
2007-02-02 21:54

Probably the best South Park episode ever.
0.3
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) 4/5
2007-02-03 21:09

Good. Can't wait to see the second one.
0.3
The Departed (2006) 4/5
2007-02-04 21:53

Good, but just not that great and, frankly, I'm not sure why. It just didn't move me the right way. It's a great piece of action cinema, nonetheless.
0.3
Hollywoodland (2006) 3.5/5
2007-02-09 21:45

They killed Superman! You bastards! Hm...
0.3
Laberinto del Fauno, El (2006) 5/5

Pure magic... for the grown-ups.
0.3
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) 5/5
2007-02-12 01:24

Wow. I was completely hooked. After the movie ended I felt completely lost. I thought I had no money and no home. It took me few seconds to come back to the reality. Once again, WOW.
0.3
Science des rêves, La (2006) 4/5
2007-02-13 01:19

Surreal. Geekiness^2.

Good, just not that great. Few extremely funny moments. Too few :)
0.3
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) 4.5/5
2007-02-16 21:58

Sensual.
0.3
Marie Antoinette (2006) 2.5/5
2007-02-17 00:27

Girlish middle ages. No story, it felt more like a music video. Although I must admin, the images were gorgeous.
0.3
For Your Consideration (2006) 2.5/5
2007-02-18 20:37

It's the same crew that did those other mockumentaries. The Guest crew. And this one's just the same as the others. Few funny moments, but overall it's not that good.
0.3
Babel (2006) 5/5
2007-02-19 00:47

3 stories. 3 families. 3 languages. 3 continents. Babel. Speechless.
0.3
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) 2.5/5
2007-02-21 01:01

Too stupid for my taste and on top of that they've butchered Goran Bregovic's classics!
0.3
Coisa Ruim (2006) 3/5
2007-02-23 01:35

Spooky, although the perfect introduction has been completely ruined by the flawed ending.
0.3
Casino Royale (2006) 3.5/5
2007-02-24 00:56

Harsh and brutal albeit a bit too cheesy in the end. Bond falling for a woman? Gimme a f... break!
0.3
Antikörper (2005) 4.5/5
2007-02-25 00:28

German Silence of the Lambs. Excellent!
0.3
Notes on a Scandal (2006) 4/5
2007-02-25 23:08

Surprisingly good. Strong performance by Judi Dench.
0.3
Snow Cake (2006) 4.5/5
2007-02-26 01:10

Heartwarming...
0.3
Happy Feet (2006) 2/5
2007-02-27 01:27

Too simplistic/too long/too much music/too much dancing. Boring... Oscar for that? C'mon! The only good thing about this movie was the CGI, which was really top-notch and has set the new standards for the whole industry.
0.3
Curse of the Golden Flower / Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia (2006) 4.5/5
2007-02-28 00:38

Excellent & tragic.

Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny (2006) 3/5
2007-03-01 01:33

Stupid, yet had some funny moments. Although I really must stop watching Jack Black's movies. Really!
0.3
Paris, je t'aime (2006) 2/5
2007-03-02 00:42

Love, Paris. Paris, love. Maybe 2-3 good stories, others were kind of dull, despite having quite big names as directors.
0.3
Half Nelson (2006) 4/5
2007-03-03 23:25

Difficult movie dealing with a hard subject.
0.3
Trailer Park Boys: The Movie (2006) 3.5/5
2007-03-06 00:30

Quite unexpectedly it turned out to be both good and funny, starting basically from the second half (just after you get in the mood).
0.3
The Boynton Beach Bereavement Club (2005) 4/5
2007-03-09 01:16

Love after 50. And sex. Funny, yet cheesy at times. Great watch nonetheless.
0.3
Nowhere (1997) 4.5/5
2007-03-10 01:41

78 minutes long and 10 years old music video for the "90210 on acid". This concludes the Gregg Araki trilogy for me. Thrill ride, I say. The Future Sound of London track completely blew me away.
0.3
Shortbus (2006) 2/5
2007-03-14 23:28

Great sex scenes and, unfortunately, not much else. Shallow story/flat characters/etc.
0.3
A Good Year (2006) 4.5/5
2007-03-17 00:53

Cheesy beginning/cheesy ending. However the middle ground was simply gorgeous.
0.3
Rocky Balboa (2006) 2/5
2007-03-19 00:35

Not quite on a par with other underdog stories, although I believe you perceive this movie differently when you are over 50. One great quote to remember, though: It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
0.3
Job, czyli ostatni szara komorka (2006) 1/5
2007-03-21 21:10

No storyline, just an endless series of stand-up-comedy segments with different characters. Not funny either.
0.3
Blood Diamond (2006) 5/5
2007-03-22 18:04

...
0.3
Lonely Hearts (2006) 4/5

Good 50s detective drama. And I was expecting a romantic comedy. D'oh!
0.3
Bobby (2006) 5/5
2007-03-23 15:22

RFK assassination. Great story or should I say stories.
0.3
The Good Shepherd (2006) 5/5

A feast to the mind.
0.3
The Motel (2005) 4/5

Severance (2006) 2.5/5
2007-03-26 01:19

So-so. Good start, bad finish. And, unfortunately, has quite cheesy moments here and there.
0.3
A Slight Case of Murder (1999) (TV) 4.5/5
2007-03-27 00:32

Great comedy made in the spirit of Woody Allen.
0.3
Fritt vilt (2006) 4.5/5
2007-03-28 00:18

Excellent horror/thriller from Norway. I was both surprised and scared. Very.
0.3
Spielwütigen, Die (2004) 2/5
2007-03-28 21:53

Boring/pointless. It certainly made the actors and teachers as weirdos. 5 funny minutes in America showing the completely different culture/attitude than in Europe.
0.3
Solino (2002) 4.5/5
2007-03-29 21:15

Great nostalgic story which relates directly to Cinema Paradiso. Faith Akin is the same to Germany/Turkey as Tony Gatlif is to Algeria/Romania.
0.3
Stranger Than Fiction (2006) 5/5
2007-03-30 22:59

In the spirit of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. Awesome.
0.3
Fast Food Nation (2006) 4/5
2007-03-31 23:57

One big UGH. Scary, although it was nothing new. We indeed live not only in a Fast Food Nation but in a Fast Food World.

April, 2007

Knallhart (2006) 4.5/5
2007-04-02 01:31

Powerful story/strong acting. And, of course, it reminded me of Larry Clark.
0.3
Smokin' Aces (2007) 1.5/5
2007-04-03 01:34

Uhm, no. Pointless non-stop shooting. And the ending? Give me a break!
0.3
Freedom Writers (2007) 5/5
2007-04-04 01:35

Moving/powerful/poignant even despite being a little bit too simplistic at some points. Yet I cried like a little baby...
0.3
The Last King of Scotland (2006) 5/5
2007-04-05 00:45

Ugh.
0.3
Goya's Ghosts (2006) 4/5
2007-04-06 00:43

I'd like to say that the world is a better place than it was during Goya's time.
0.3
Deja Vu (2006) 4/5
2007-04-07 01:37

Weak story, strong execution. Awesome, in fact. Apart from few plot holes and simplifications, that is.
0.3
Special (2006/I) 4/5
2007-04-09 01:37

Superhero in the suburbs.
0.3
Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas (2006) 2.5/5
2007-04-11 01:44

It's been a while since the last time I've seen a French movie. Nothing changed, though. French are still weird people with strange problems that I could not, for the love of God, relate to. Despite trying very hard. I just could not.
0.3
Tiempo de valientes (2005) 4/5
2007-04-12 00:53

Surprising little gem from Argentina about a shrink and a cop. Comedy and crime.
0.3
Miss Potter (2006) 1/5
2007-04-13 01:17

Mind note: never watch English movies with English actors about early Twentieth Century England. London especially.
0.3
Moon to (2007) 3/5
2007-04-14 01:36

A little bit too cliché as for my taste.
0.3
Alpha Dog (2006) 4.5/5
2007-04-14 23:20

Yet another Larry Clark. Great story about a lost generation.
0.3
Hors de prix (2006) 5/5

Bright, funny, vibrant, excellent!
0.3
Seraphim Falls (2006) 4.5/5
2007-04-20 00:25

Great story about revenge in the wild wild west.
0.3
The Fountain (2006) 4.5/5
2007-04-21 00:27

... definitely to be seen again and again...
0.3

2007-04-26 01:45

Very very good.

Mind note: no more English movies for me.

Breaking and Entering (2006) 4/5
2007-04-29 01:30

Difficult movie about a difficult subject. Great story with a little bit too optimistic ending.
0.3

May, 2007

Petit lieutenant, Le (2005) 1/5
2007-05-01 01:05

And what exactly was this movie about? So pointless...
0.3
Sto je muskarac bez brkova? (2005) 3.5/5
2007-05-02 23:29

Good Czech comedy. Except for the fact that it was Croatian.
0.3
Sleeping Dogs Lie (2005) 2.5/5
2007-05-04 02:08

Just OK.
0.3
Indigènes (2006) 4/5
2007-05-05 00:28

A little bit chaotic at first but with a very powerful ending.
0.3
We Are Marshall (2006) 4/5
2007-05-06 00:11

There is something about those US football movies...
0.3
The Dead Girl (2006) 4.5/5

Interesting story, good execution.

Omfg...
0.3
Tourneuse de pages, La (2006) 3.5/5
2007-05-11 00:05

Too calculated/too cold blooded. Good watch nonetheless.

Apocalypto (2006) 5/5
2007-05-12 00:01

Wow...
0.3
The Ex (2007) 2.5/5

Too simple/too stupid.

Just a little bit too weird.
0.3

2007-05-17 00:37

Boring...

Strong, powerful and very sad movie.

So sad...

0.3
San zimske noci (2004) 2.5/5
2007-05-22 01:11

Hm... it was just barely ok. I couldn't really relate to the main character.
0.3
Optimisti (2006) 2.5/5
2007-05-23 00:53

Couple of loosely coupled stories. Not so great. I think that Goran Paskaljevic is just not for me.
0.3
Sejtanov ratnik (2006) 2/5
2007-05-24 17:16

Serbian's take on the fantasy genre. Results? Poor CGI and weak storyline targeted at young teenagers.
0.3
Hannibal Rising (2007) 3/5
2007-05-26 01:30

Young Hannibal. Flawed in many ways, yet it was a good watch.
0.3
The Painted Veil (2006) 3.5/5
2007-05-26 18:39

Interesting story. And sad too...
0.3
Harsh Times (2005) 4.5/5
2007-05-27 00:46

Christian's Bale performance was, as it is usually the case, outstanding. Scary too.
0.3
Breach (2007) 4.5/5

Very very good counter-intelligence movie.
0.3
88 Minutes (2007) 4/5

Very fast-paced ride. Decent! Or even more than that. Albeit a little bit complicated.

Uhm, quite frightening...
0.3

June, 2007

Jasne Błękitne Okna (2006) 3.5/5
2007-06-01 01:32

Too much... Just too much of everything.
0.3
Direktøren for det hele (2006) 3/5
2007-06-02 01:13

Tiring and a little bit too absurd, but oh well...
0.3
Iklimler (2006) 4/5
2007-06-03 01:05

Slow, simple story, complicated characters and beautiful scenery. Is it enough? Sometimes it is...
0.3
Italianetz (2005) 4/5
2007-06-07 01:23

Great semi-road-movie with a kid as the main character.
0.3
Hot Fuzz (2007) 3.5/5
2007-06-08 23:58

Good, just not THAT good.
0.3
Reno 911!: Miami (2007) 3/5
2007-06-10 01:21

Reno's finest. In action! Kind of like Police Academy from back in the day. Only much more stupid.
0.3
Black Snake Moan (2006) 3.5/5
2007-06-11 00:42

Psychodelic...
0.3
The Astronaut Farmer (2006) 1.5/5
2007-06-15 01:37

I'm not sure why I even bother with movies made for kids...
0.3
Ghost Rider (2007) 3.5/5
2007-06-16 00:20

All your souls are belong to us! Funny and yes, too cool.
0.3
Shooter (2007) 4/5
2007-06-17 00:18

Thrill ride throughout the two-thirds of the movie. Simply awesome. Too bad the ending was stupid beyond belief.
0.3
Reign Over Me (2007) 5/5
2007-06-29 00:16

Just great. Adam Sandler was great too.
0.3
The Last Mimzy (2007) 3.5/5

Good kid's movie is still a good movie!

Good. Just not that great (as advertised).
0.3
Red Road (2006) 3.5/5
2007-07-07 23:09

Difficult subject; difficult movie.
0.3
Bridge to Terabithia (2007) 4/5
2007-07-11 00:27

Great. Yet as a kid's movie it was so wrong on so many levels... atheist's vs Christian argument, dealing with a loss of a loved one, it just felt more appropriate for teenagers.
0.3
The Number 23 (2007) 4/5
2007-07-12 00:20

Intriguing. I once read that the only philosophical question that matters was whether or not to commit a suicide... I guess that makes me a philosopher. The sum of the letters in my name is 23!
0.3
Zodiac (2007) 4.5/5
2007-07-12 22:47

Very very good. Just not your typical David Fincher's movie.
0.3

Contemplative story set in high mountains (ENH2007).
0.3
The Entrepreneur (2007) 4/5
2007-07-22 20:50

Story about a visionary entrepreneur (Malcolm Bricklin) set on changing the world. Icon of globalization (ENH2007).
0.3
Témoins, Les (2007) 3.5/5
2007-07-22 23:52

Drama with the AIDS epidemic outbreak in France in the background. Too few historical evens and too much personal drama shown, though (ENH2007).
0.3
Better Than Sex (2000) 3.5/5
2007-07-23 11:20

Light comedy about sex (ENH2007).
0.3
Wszystko będzie dobrze (2007) 3.5/5

Great Robert Więckiewicz role. Nice story, yet maybe too dramatic (ENH2007).

Completely blew me away. Great simple story with powerful ending (ENH2007).
0.3
Yumurta (2007) 3/5
2007-07-23 20:45

So-so. Too little plot, too much views. Too contemplative (ENH2007).

Sutra ujutru (2006) 5/5
2007-07-23 23:50

Great Serbian story, surprisingly not about war but love (ENH2007).
0.3
Knjiga rekorda Shutke (2005) 3/5
2007-07-24 11:35

Paradocumentary about the Romes. Entertaining, yet not that great (ENH2007).

Novel instead of a movie (ENH2007).

0.3
Ensemble, c'est tout (2007) 2/5
2007-07-27 14:40

Just as with every other French movie you couldn't identify yourself with any of the characters. They were simply unlikeable. Plain story didn't help either (ENH2007).
0.3
Extranjera (2007) 1/5
2007-07-27 17:20

Boring. Almost unbearable (ENH2007).

0.3
The History Boys (2006) 4/5
2007-08-06 00:33

Maybe too intellectual and just maybe too gay, but just maybe. There is no "barring accidents". History is just one fucking thing after another. Oh, and the surprising ending.
0.3
Wild Hogs (2007) 3.5/5

Quite funny, actually, despite poor reviews.

Too simplistic, too improbable, yet it has struck just the right chord...
0.3
Un amour à taire (2005) (TV) 2.5/5
2007-08-13 00:55

Unlikeable characters, hardly believable plot plus some horribly bad scenes (the ending memorial for one). It was a good story yet told in a barely bearable French way. On the whole it was quite saddening, though.

The Namesake (2006) 5/5
2007-08-16 00:55

Beautiful, tender movie. Epic at heart but without epic proportions. Pack a pillow and blanket. Go, see the world. You will never regret it, Gogol.
0.3
Next (2007) 1.5/5
2007-08-30 21:25

Good idea, piss poor execution.

Spider-Man 3 (2007) 2.5/5
2007-09-01 23:55

Spider-Man 3 aka Shit-Man 3. I must stop watching those kiddie movies. I'm way too old for this.
0.3
Death Proof (2007) 5/5
2007-09-06 23:25

Awesome!
0.3
Knocked Up (2007) 4.5/5
2007-09-08 23:35

Awesome first half, slower in the second with a totally uncool ending. Great fart jokes (can't believe I actually said that). Just do it already!
0.3
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) 3.5/5
2007-09-14 01:03

Good, just not that great as the first part. And the jokes were not like the ones back in the day.
0.3
Swiadek koronny (2007) 3.5/5
2007-09-17 14:20

Decent Polish thriller/action movie. Could be great if it weren't for the heavily flawed ending (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Rezerwat (2007) 4.5/5
2007-09-17 17:20

Very good. Could be great but some things were just not that perfect (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Benek (2007) 4.5/5
2007-09-17 20:55

Great love/entrepreneur story about Polish coal mines (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Hania (2007) 5/5
2007-09-17 23:10

Much, much too idealistic - I almost wished somebody died (until someone actually did!) - but it has struck just the right chords to move me very deeply. And so it was that I've shed a tear or two... (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Aleja gówniarzy (2007) 5/5
2007-09-18 14:40

Very very good. And so true... Great portrait of Łódź - a forgotten Polish city (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Futro (2007) 5/5

Braciszek (2007) (TV) 0.5/5
2007-09-19 12:25

0.3
Ogród Luizy (2007) 5/5
2007-09-19 17:30

Gangster falling for a little bit crazy girl (and all complications it involves) (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Korowód (2007) 5/5
2007-09-19 22:40

Awesome. Pure excellence. I could identify with the main character almost 100 per cent as I'm also a photographer/reporter (sometimes, at least) (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Sztuczki (2007) 5/5
2007-09-20 14:50

Wow. Quiet simple life in the suburbs. Quiet simple story in the suburbs (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Wino truskawkowe (2007) 4/5
2007-09-20 17:40

Psychodelic/surrealistic story with strawberry wine in every other scene (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
U Pana Boga w ogródku (2007) 4.5/5
2007-09-20 20:20

Great sequel. Not as good as the first part, yet good enough to make me smile in almost every other scene (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Jutro idziemy do kina (2007) (TV) 4.5/5
2007-09-20 22:20

TV movie which can easily compete with normal made for theatrical screenings productions. Likeable characters, involving story, good music. Nothing more I'd want, apart from maybe a bigger budget (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Pora umierac (2007) 5/5
2007-09-21 16:15

Outstanding performance by Danuta Szaflarska. Contemplative tale about life, family and passing away (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Z miłości (2007) 4/5
2007-09-21 19:15

Very good. Quite psychodelic. Love is the ultimate sacrifice (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Nightwatching (2007) 3/5
2007-09-21 21:50

Supposedly old school Greenaway. Yet it had too many characters and was much too complicated (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).
0.3
Heile Welt (2006) 3.5/5
2007-09-22 16:35

Good. Could have been better though (32. FPFF Gdynia '07).

Almost unbearable yet I'm unable not to cry.
0.3
You Kill Me (2007) 3/5
2007-10-13 01:07

Just a good late night watch. Nothing ambitious, the movie is way too simplistic.
0.3
Ratatouille (2007) 4.5/5
2007-10-18 00:25

Flawed. Deeply. Too moralizing, too childish, too simple, too exaggerated. Yet it had a few so extremely funny moments that they've compensated most of the flaws.
0.3
Sonja (2006) 1/5

0.3
A Mighty Heart (2007) 3.5/5
2007-11-03 02:06

Good. Fast pace with lots of quick takes. Terrorism from a personal perspective. As a victim.
0.3
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) 3/5
2007-11-04 21:20

I liked the first two parts better. This one, ending the trilogy, was a little bit too complicated. I also did not like the fact that everything was not definite, even death. You can always resurrect.
0.3
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) 2.5/5
2007-11-08 00:52

Good moments mixed with totally terrible ones. The result: average. Mental note: really really stop watching this kiddie stuff.

Cheerful, uplifting and all that jazz.

So-so. Entertaining, but ultimately boring... Danny DeVito was the only highlight.

Milyang (2007) 3.5/5

Thought provoking yet somehow did not make me identify with the main character as much as I'd wanted to.

Almost unbelievable...

0.3
December Boys (2007) 2/5
2007-12-06 18:10

Just your old plain growing up boys movie. Nothing, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, except it was boring like no other.

Mediocre fun.

Powerful. Moved me just the same it has the first time I had watched it.
0.3
The Kingdom (2007) 5/5
2007-12-14 02:35

Slow at the beginning and very fast paced starting in the middle till the very end. And the ending scene is quite mind blowing.
0.3
Eastern Promises (2007) 5/5
2007-12-15 03:22

Very intense despite the slow pace. I was hooked from the first minutes up until the ending. Powerful.
0.3
Izgnanie (2007) 4.5/5
2007-12-16 01:21

Very slow, very quiet, very poetic. Great cinematography, great landscapes. Simple story, complicated relationships in the family. Very Russian.
0.3
Gruz 200 (2007) 4.5/5
2007-12-16 17:35

The story evolves very slowly, but with each passing minute it gets more and more hard-core. Add to that a very abrupt ending and you have this movie defined. Very Russian.
0.3
12 (2007) 5/5
2007-12-16 20:45

Very different from the '57 original. Extremely well done.
0.3
Shoot 'Em Up (2007) 3/5

Rambo on steroids. Oh, so stupid...

I am legend. I am truly a legend. Wept like a baby.

XXY (2007) 4.5/5
2008-01-12 21:44

Tetsuo (1989) 2.5/5
2008-01-13 22:56

Artistic hard-core. Metal masturbation.

Disturbing. Good. Maybe even very good.
0.3
Rise of the Footsoldier (2007) 4/5
2008-01-20 20:45

Very good. Quite surprisingly it tells a true story of Carlton Leach.
0.3
The Invasion (2007) 3.5/5
2008-01-20 23:09

Decent. Just that. Decent.
0.3

2008-01-21 01:40

Quiet little masterpiece.
0.3
The Hunting Party (2007) 3/5
2008-01-21 21:02

A little naive. Maybe just too much. Quite enjoyable nonetheless.
0.3
Butterfly on a Wheel (2007) 3.5/5
2008-01-21 23:59

Decent. Not quite that good as the original, though. The Game that is.
0.3
King of California (2007) 4/5
2008-01-23 01:15

Entertaining enough. And extremely funny at moments too.
0.3
Fälscher, Die (2007) 4.5/5
2008-01-24 00:24

Very very good. It was kind of mind-blowing to know how much money they've actually produced.
0.3
Juno (2007) 5/5
2008-01-25 01:25

Extremely good. Sometimes just too good, too smart, too intelligent, too everything. Yet other times just perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Just that.
0.3
Helvetica (2007) 3.5/5
2008-01-25 11:57

Interesting documentary about typefaces and design. You will do what the typeface tell you to do.
0.3
Gone Baby Gone (2007) 4.5/5
2008-01-26 17:19

Thrilling. Complicated. What is right, what is wrong?
0.3
We Own the Night (2007) 2/5
2008-01-29 01:36

Kind of boring and, well, stupid. Maybe the police and crime were like this in the 80s, not me to know that. It just felt kind of fake and lame.

Kind of like Go. Only not that good.
0.3
Saw IV (2007) 3/5
2008-02-06 01:10

Yet another jigsaw puzzle. Confusing with many twist and turns. Lots of characters, lots of flashbacks. Watchable.
0.3
Into the Wild (2007) 5/5
2008-02-07 02:25

The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences. -- When you forgive, you love. -- Happinness only real when shared.
0.3
Yella (2007) 3.5/5
2008-02-07 21:23

Intriguing/weird/brutal/cruel/strange.
0.3
American Gangster (2007) 5/5
2008-02-08 01:07

Powerful. It is not in my best interest to say this, Frank, but quitting while you're ahead is not the same as quitting.
0.3
Away from Her (2006) 4.5/5
2008-02-09 01:26

Beautiful, very very sad and poignant.
0.3
Beaufort (2007) 4/5
2008-02-10 01:34

Psychedelic/poetic war movie. Or maybe just movie about war.
0.3
Tau ming chong (2007) 4.5/5
2008-02-11 01:04

Interesting story & great fights. One or two flawed scenes, but overall very good.
0.3
Dagen zonder lief (2007) 4/5
2008-02-13 01:03

Love, friendship, marriage, clubbing. Life. Great story, great music (pop hits played on the piano).
0.3
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) 3/5
2008-02-13 22:26

Rather a psychological drama than a wild west western. Good, yet tiring.
0.3
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) 2.5/5
2008-02-15 00:44

Some great moments (especially in the beginning), followed by lots of cheesy ones. Could be good, is only barely ok.
0.3
No Reservations (2007) 3.5/5
2008-02-16 23:14

Decent. Especially for a romantic comedy.
0.3
Run, Fat Boy, Run (2007) 4/5
2008-02-17 21:58

Quite funny, actually.
0.3
Dedication (2007) 4/5
2008-02-21 00:36

Quirky little neurotic love story. Just a little bit of Woody Allen's style.
0.3
Martian Child (2007) 2/5
2008-02-21 23:38

Nah. Cliche.
0.3
License to Wed (2007) 2/5

Not good, actually. Who'd have though?

Blood blood blood. There's blood everywhere!

Complicated. Much. Weird. Oh yes. Tiring. Too much.

OMFG!

Oh much too sweet.
0.3
In the Valley of Elah (2007) 4.5/5
2008-02-26 22:19

Powerful. And with a message.
0.3
The Matrix (1999) 5/5
2008-02-27 00:41

I believe it was the 11th or 12th time I've seen this. Cult classic that never gets old. The best movie ever.
0.3
Lions for Lambs (2007) 4/5
2008-02-28 00:31

I believe it was good. It certainly made me think. I also certainly know that I did not fully comprehend it. What I'm certain of though is that there is a lot of truth in the saying: trying and failing is better than failing at trying.

Feast of Love (2007) 2.5/5

Too... everything. Just did not touch me.

Things We Lost in the Fire (2007) 5/5
2008-03-02 00:29

Lost for words. Benicio Del Toro was unbelievable.
0.3
No Country for Old Men (2007) 5/5
2008-03-03 00:36

Definitely to be seen more than once. Maybe even more than twice and then so... In other words there wasn't much I understood about this movie...
0.3
Michael Clayton (2007) 5/5
2008-03-04 00:53

Last man to defend the truth, the justice.
0.3
Scaphandre et le papillon, Le (2007) 4/5
2008-03-06 00:58

Tragic. Almost surreal. Very sad. And tiring too. I was barely able to watch the first 15 minutes.
0.3
Sleuth (2007) 2.5/5
2008-03-07 00:16

Kind of pointless and pretentious.
0.3
Enchanted (2007) 4.5/5
2008-03-09 01:06

There's something magical about movies bordering fantasy and the real world. Stardust was a perfect pioneer, which set standards quite high. Enchanted is here to follow its footsteps. Apart from the flawed King-kong reference it is a great take on this theme and a truly magic ride.
0.3
Outpost (2007) 3.5/5
2008-03-10 01:14

Engaging independent war/horror flick.
0.3
Southland Tales (2006) 3.5/5
2008-03-11 00:36

Delusions of a deranged mind. Yeah, that sums it up pretty well.
0.3
Lars and the Real Girl (2007) 3.5/5
2008-03-16 00:05

In the spirit of He Was a Quiet Man even though not even half as good. Still, worth seeing.

30 Days of Night (2007) 0.5/5

Pathetic crap that borrows from every great movie it can. And ruins it all anyway.
0.3
Hitman (2007) 4/5
2008-03-21 23:14

Codename: hitman, nickname: 47, aka James Bond on steroids. Enjoyable.

Weird yet interesting love story.

The Mist (2007) 4.5/5
2008-03-23 00:56

Uneasy subject. Very uneasy movie.

2008-04-01 00:50

Decent horror. Despite quite a few cheesy moments. Good although expected ending.
0.3
Music Within (2007) 5/5
2008-04-02 00:28

Little masterpiece. Funny, wit, engaging, poignant. And a true story.
0.3
My Blueberry Nights (2007) 3.5/5
2008-04-03 00:48

Slow, very slow and first, but gets rolling near the ending. Good, just not great.
0.3
Hotel Chevalier (2007) 4/5
2008-04-03 19:48

Intriguing introduction (great music!). Let's see what the real thing is...
0.3
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) 3/5
2008-04-03 21:28

So-so. Not my type of humor, unfortunately.
0.3
Armin (2007) 3.5/5
2008-04-06 01:04

Intriguing. Two great scenes: the play on the harmony and the one with the drunk lady.

Klopka (2007) 5/5

Wow... left me speechless.

Much, much too absurd for me.

Quite absurd and quite good at the same time. Food as the ultimate drug...

The Air I Breathe (2007) 3.5/5
2008-04-21 00:59

Hmm... left me thinking what really this movie was about. And why do they kept on killing main characters?
0.3
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) 4.5/5
2008-04-22 00:37

Crimes and misdemeanors. Very uneasy movie, almost unbearable to watch. No good heroes. No good deeds. As a side note - definitely the best opening scene I've seen recently. May you be in heaven half an hour... before the devil knows you're dead.
0.3
27 Dresses (2008) 1.5/5
2008-04-23 01:13

I simply cannot believe I go on and on and watch those silly, no, no silly, just plainly stupid hollywood romantic comedies. One, okey, two, three tops! funny moments. And that's all. Everything else? Ridiculously bad. In other words - total crap.
0.3

Tropa de Elite (2007) 5/5
2008-04-27 00:42

Fighting fire with fire. Seems to be the only way that works. Powerful.
0.3
06/05 (2004) 4.5/5
2008-04-28 00:58

Much, much too complicated. And way too quick to actually follow it. Only after reading the imdb forums I've realized what this movie was about. Strangely enough, the director Theo Van Gogh has been murdered for similar reasons that Pim Fortuym (Dutch politician, whose murder is the baseline of this movie) was.
0.3
À l'intérieur (2007) 0.5/5

2008-05-04 23:55

Disturbing. Too disturbing in fact.
0.3
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) 3.5/5
2008-05-07 00:13

Funny, actually. Somehow avoided to be too cheesy. Last scene, after the end credits, when we see the real Dewey Cox is just classic.
0.3
Alles is liefde (2007) 5/5
2008-05-08 00:37

Too sweet, too cheerful, too uplifting, too... everything.
0.3
The Final Season (2007) 1.5/5
2008-05-08 23:58

One of the worst attempts at sports drama.

Untraceable (2008) 2.5/5
2008-05-10 00:27

Just ok. One stereotype chases the other.
0.3
Paranoid Park (2007) 3.5/5
2008-05-10 22:22

Typical Gus Van Sant. From the beginning till the very end. And it is THE skateboarding movie. How 'bout a snowboarding one?
0.3
Numb (2007/I) 4.5/5
2008-05-13 00:26

Depersonalized? Oh I feel you man. I feel you.

Once again fooled by imdb rating. Total utter crap.

Youth Without Youth (2007) 4.5/5
2008-05-15 00:53

The ultimate anti-superhero movie. Very intriguing.
0.3
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) 4/5
2008-05-15 20:12

Decent documentary. Sure there is a global warming. Sure it causes global problems. But are human CO2 emissions solely responsible for this? Sorry, but I'm still not convinced.
0.3
A Global Warning? (History Channel) (2007) 4/5
2008-05-15 23:50

Almost convinced or maybe I am actually convinced that we in fact are dealing with a man made global warming.
0.3
The Golden Compass (2007) 3/5
2008-05-17 00:24

Childish bordering stupid. Definitely naive yet somehow had me at the polar bear introduction (and then the big fight). I almost cried, which was very surprising for such a lousy movie. And what's with the abrupt ending in the middle of a story?
0.3
The Bank Job (2008) 4.5/5
2008-05-19 00:15

A little bit slow in the beginning and a little bit complicated finish. Overally - very good. I wonder how much of it is actually true. I suppose lots. One quote to remember: - A bit tight under the arms, don't you think? - Traditional fit, sir. One can't raise one's arms above one's head. It tends to inhibit any impulsive acts of surrender.
0.3
The Bucket List (2007) 4.5/5
2008-05-20 01:08

Cheering, uplifting. No, not original, still very enjoyable.
0.3
Wolfsbergen (2007) 2/5
2008-05-21 00:54

Too many landscapes/portraits, too little plot/talk/story.

Incredible story.
0.3
A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006) 4.5/5
2008-05-25 00:58

Wow. I feel like I've watched at least a dozen films just like it (Spike Lee, thank you imdb), yet somehow this one felt quite different. Maybe because most of it has actually happend? I'm not sure. Funny thing is I got tired of the chaotic story and shaky camera movements quite quickly. And the story felt so cliche at first. Still I became entangled in it basically before the first half went by. And the ending gave at least 2 stars more to the rating. Great soundtrack did its job too.
0.3

Decent. Kind of quirky and not that much original, still quite enjoyable.
0.3
The Signal (2007/I) 1/5
2008-06-16 00:58

Bordering absurd? No, it's way too absurd. It can't even decide whether it is a comedy (only few funny scenes; those were good) or a thriller/horror. Bad editing (unnecessary flashbacks). And on top of that its super tiring.
0.3
Mýrin (2006) 4.5/5
2008-06-18 01:20

Powerful story.
0.3

July, 2008

In Bruges (2008) 5/5
2008-07-01 00:13

Hilarious. Bordering insanity, then crossing it, then coming back. Completely boring in the first 50 minutes, then suddenly takes off and keeps you on your toes till the very (ambiguous) end. And extremely funny too.
0.3
The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) 1/5
2008-07-02 00:23

Another fantasy movie for little kids. Schematic, predictable and full of holes in the loop. In other words: crap.
0.3
There Will Be Blood (2007) 4.5/5
2008-07-04 01:03

And blood there was. Oil, power, religion, atheism, hatred, money and lots of other things too. Dark, very dark movie.
0.3
The Children of Huang Shi (2008) 2.5/5
2008-07-05 00:50

Big ambitions, poor resolution. Great story ruined by weak script and poor acting. Could've been so much better...
0.3
Omaret yakobean / The Yacoubian Building (2006) 3/5
2008-07-06 00:51

Just good. Too long, too boring, too poor acting, too many unsolved plots and to top it off - storyline has too many weak points.
0.3
Bill (2007) 3.5/5
2008-07-07 01:15

Predictable, schematic, much too naive, yet somehow funny, very funny at that.

Watchable action flick, although there were way too many tiring flashbacks.

Âge des ténèbres, L' (2007) 5/5

So many loop holes it made me cringe. Excellent premises despite being hardly original wasted by a dull and completely nonsense second half of the movie. Just so stupid...
0.3
Vexille (2007) 4.5/5
2008-09-09 00:52

There's just something about Sci-Fi movies... Wonderful story (just don't mind the holes here and there) with just a little bit too melodramatic ending.

0.3
The Half Life of Timofey Berezin (2006) 4/5
2008-09-16 01:09

I just fucking hate watching movies dealing with human exposure to radioactive materials. At the time the same was true for Indians massacre in the US. Both themes are just too hard bare...
0.3
Ekusu makina (2007) 2.5/5
2008-09-17 00:48

So-so. Too many too stupid characteristics of the future. Just too simple, too naive, too... Vexille, in similar theme, was so much better...

A little bit too naive and simple, yet still quite entertaining.

"Afro Samurai" (2007) 4.5/5
2008-09-28 00:49

Sci-Fi spaghetti-afro-samurai anime. Ain't that something, bro? What a ride!
0.3
Speed Racer (2008) 3.5/5
2008-09-29 00:17

Felt more like a computer game than a movie. And it had a little bit kiddie feel to it. Still, good fun.

Street Kings (2008) 4.5/5
2008-10-01 23:39

There's just something special about high-budget us cop flicks. They are simply awesome. And this one's no exception. Great story, almost perfect execution. Ending, yes, the one bit that just not felt right. A little bit too simplyfied, perhaps. But other than that, it was a really thrilling ride.
0.3
The Happening (2008) 3/5
2008-10-04 00:39

Just ok. Completely unbelievable idea, though.
0.3
Keinohrhasen (2007) 4/5
2008-10-04 19:18

Good, funny, entertaining. Maybe just a little too long.
0.3
Iblard jikan (2007) (V) 0.5/5

Not really a movie...

Kautokeino-opprøret (2008) 5/5
2008-10-07 23:40

Fuck. I really hate watching movies about exploitation and direct, brutal injustice against the weakest. Really hate. Especially when they end in deaths of the innocent...
0.3
The Black Balloon (2008) 2/5
2008-10-09 01:00

So-so. Too shallow.
0.3
Horton Hears a Who! (2008) 1.5/5
2008-10-11 00:45

Fooled by imdb rating. Not the first time. Somehow I suspected this one might be just too kiddie for me.
0.3
Stuck (2007) 3.5/5
2008-10-13 01:08

Chilling. Brutal. Bloody. And it's a true story on top of that.
0.3
Boy A (2007) 4.5/5
2008-10-14 01:08

Very, very good.
0.3
Klass (2007) 5/5
2008-10-15 00:41

Disturbing. Much too disturbing. And way too personal.
0.3
Noise (2007/I) 5/5
2008-10-16 01:09

Wow. I was literally shocked. Minute after minute I was being dragged into a great suburban story. And with each passing minute I witnessed the perfection of the story and, especially, the main character. Really, perfectly made. The sound, the music, the action, the dialogues, yes, especially the dialogues. Just wow. So indie yet so mature.
0.3
Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005) 1.5/5
2008-10-19 00:15

Too silly and too "fantasy" for me.

Shilje sanghwang (2000) 2.5/5
2008-10-20 01:04

One of the early master's works.
0.3
The Strangers (2008) 3/5
2008-10-21 00:34

OK as far as horror genre goes. Thrilling, scary, suspensful all that was there. But nothing more. And as goes with most flicks from this genere, the "victims" were as stupid in their actions as they can be.
0.3
Garage (2007) 3/5
2008-10-21 23:50

Just ok.
0.3
Giorni e nuvole (2007) 4/5
2008-10-24 00:32

Very good drama.
0.3
The Incredible Hulk (2008) 2/5
2008-10-25 23:28

Uhm, so-so at best. Cliche. Out of all comic adaptations this one's only a little better than Superman (which was really bad...).
0.3
Iron Man (2008) 3/5
2008-10-28 23:26

Wow, I really feel I'm getting too old for this kind of movies. It was so absurd, so incredibly stupid, I literally cringed. Humour was the only one thing that saved it. And only partially. It would have been so much better as anime.
0.3
Zona, La (2007) 5/5
2008-10-30 23:58

Power. Corruption. Violence. Murder...

Hancock (2008) 2.5/5
2008-11-01 23:40

Good premises wasted by a weak and messy execution.
0.3
Kung Fu Panda (2008) 2.5/5
2008-11-05 00:24

Funny, although, again, too kiddie, too simplistic, too naive.
0.3
Petelinji zajtrk (2007) 2.5/5
2008-11-06 00:04

Just ok. It's been played before over and over again. Same characters, basically the same story. Felt like a remake.
0.3
Sous les bombes (2007) 3.5/5
2008-11-08 16:09

Good.

Transsiberian (2008) 4/5
2008-11-08 23:25

Decent.
0.3
The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) 3/5
2008-11-09 23:52

Naive/childish/plainly stupid. Just as most asian kung-fu movies. Still, watching Jackie Chan and Jet Li fight each other was quite satisfying.
0.3
Eden Lake (2008) 4.5/5
2008-11-11 00:10

Terryfing and disturbing. Just the way a good Thriller should be.

Did not really understand it. Despite imdb comments.

Spectacular. Just so good...

Get Smart (2008) 3/5
2008-11-15 22:30

So-so. Funny, sure, but definitely too stupid.
0.3
Arumdabda (2008) 3/5
2008-11-16 23:52

Way too exaggerated, although the story is quite believable. The main character too. The rapist too. Only all other characters are drawn with a way too thick pencil. Exaggerated, that's the right word.
0.3
Señal, La (2007) 2.5/5
2008-11-18 23:48

Classic film noir from Argentina. A little bit boring and too complicated.
0.3
Admiral (2008) 5/5
2008-11-21 22:40

Incredible. Even though it felt like someone was trying to squish a three hour epic into a two hour movie. Still, it was wonderful.
0.3
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) 3/5
2008-11-26 23:44

Quite unordinary movie. Even for Mike Leigh. Hard to say whether it was good or not.
0.3
Ober (2006) 5/5
2008-11-27 23:55

Absurd. Totally absurd. Brilliant. Totally brilliant. Similar to one old Woody Allen movie and Stranger Than Fiction. Yet so much more refined. I loved Edgar, played by Alex van Warmerdam, the director and script writer.
0.3
Tropic Thunder (2008) 3/5
2008-11-28 23:43

Stupid, stupid, just way too stupid. Although some funny moments and a great cast.

Takes a long while to actually get going, but it rewards you in the end.

So unbelievably stupid...

Taken (2008/I) 5/5
2008-12-02 23:55

The way action flicks should be made. Maybe, just maybe, a tiny little bit too Rambo/berserk, but hey, that's the way we/I like it.
0.3
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) 3/5
2008-12-03 23:11

Just ok. Nothing like the original trilogy.
0.3
Righteous Kill (2008) 3/5
2008-12-05 23:43

Not that good cup movie, although premises and cast were excellent. I'd say the motives and actions of the noir character were not sufficiently motivated. At least not sufficiently to me.
0.3
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) 4/5
2008-12-06 23:22

Decent. Not great, but entertaining enough.
0.3
Step Brothers (2008) 2/5
2008-12-08 23:32

Quite bad, although that was expected. The only truly funny moment was the Paul Potts scene.

Decent, even despite being so religious.

Visually stunning. Theatrically correct (with flying sword fights, et cetera). Decent, not great.

Very decent thriller.

Chi bi (2008) 5/5
2008-12-14 23:48

Just what the fuck? The moment the movie was really rolling it has simply ended. Had I known that before I would wait for the second part... Damn. Still, amazing.
0.3
Talk to Me (2007) 3.5/5
2008-12-18 00:04

Entertaining enough.

Môme, La (2007) 4.5/5

Too big of a person. Too big of a movie. Extraordinary voice and extraordinary, but sadly, tragic life.

Strange/complicated. Yet somehow engaging.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) 1.5/5
2008-12-25 23:21

Uhm, nothing more than some childish crap. Unfortunately.
0.3
Eagle Eye (2008) 1.5/5
2008-12-26 23:53

So unbelievably stupid, it's beyond belief. So many loopholes, yeah, this whole movie is one gigantic loophole. On the good side it was quite fast-paced, despite clocking on nearly two hours. Still... Anyway, a 6.8 on imdb for this? You've got to be kidding me.
0.3
Darwin's Nightmare (2004) 3.5/5
2008-12-28 17:53

Very amateurish in the making, although quite eye-opening.

Whoa... so unbelievably stupid, so full of holes. Crap crap crap! No more Jason Statham movies?
0.3
The Duchess (2008) 4.5/5
2009-01-03 23:39

Really good! A little tragic story about the lack of choices/imprisonment and... love. Marvelous performance by Ralph Fiennes accompanied greatly by Kiera Knightley. The Duke as a character was so funny (unintentionally, maybe not) I was almost bursting into tears.
0.3
Ghost Town (2008/II) 3/5
2009-01-04 23:44

Just okey. Overly simplistic as for my taste. Yet, nice little romantic story with some funny moments here and there.
0.3
The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008) 3/5
2009-01-05 23:46

Legends never die? Apparently this one did. Maybe not fully, but sufficiently. The myth is gone. X-Files is no more. The story, the atmosphere, the plot, all those are ok, but the relationship and discussions between Scully and Molder leave a lot to be desired. Just ok. And I think it could not have been made any other way.
0.3
Hái-kak chhit-ho (2008) 2.5/5
2009-01-07 00:00

Supposedly the biggest Taiwanese movie. Like ever. Well, I guess it was ok. Very messy at the beginning, I've almost stopped watching. Only after reading the review on imdb (telling me not to care about the beginning) I resumed playing. Overally it's just a love story, that is way too long and way too complicated (too many subplots...). And yes, I did not quite catch most of it.
0.3
The Good German (2006) 4/5

Brazillian Blow. Also a true story. Overally quite messy but with a very rewarding ending.

Ten Inch Hero (2007) 2/5
2009-01-14 21:50

Not really good. It's all been said and done. N times over. Nothing, literally, nothing original.
0.3
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) 4/5
2009-01-14 23:46

Woody Allen we know and love to watch. Excellent first half with low middle ground and much too quick and a little bit messy finish. Can't have everything...
0.3
2:37 (2006) 4.5/5
2009-01-15 23:39

There's something in those high-school movies. Especially if they're not of American descent. This one has goot too much of it, much too much. Very disturbing. Similar to Elephant, in way, only goes inside characters. Deep.
0.3
The Express (2008) 4.5/5
2009-01-17 23:49

Really love love love Hollywood sports movies. The good ones, that is. This one's no exception.

Dexter S01 (2006) 5/5
2009-02-03 23:40

Dexter, you're like an addiction. The worst of all. Just a couple of days it took me to swim through the first 12 episodes. Yeah, it's true, you just can't stop. And each one is better than the previous one. Now what I need is a little break, as to not feed my addiction too much.
0.3
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) 1/5
2009-02-04 23:19

Lousy. Unfortunately. Although I must say it was easy to predict that...
0.3
Black Gold (2006) 2/5
2009-02-07 23:55

So-so. Too many problems raised without giving any real insight into them. Sure you could put the blame on US/EU, and sure, subsidizing food production in general is not good, but the truth lies in the details, which this movie lacks. What are the specific laws and WTO regulations that make coffee price so low for Ethiopians? And what really subsidizing foods in EU/US and coffee price have in common? After all coffee is planted solely in the southern hemisphere...
0.3
W. (2008) 3/5
2009-02-09 23:43

Very good!
0.3
Dexter S02 (2007) 5/5
2009-02-17 00:10

Excellent. First few episodes were rather boring, but just after the fifth or so the pace dramatically changed and it was a thrill ride till the very end. Dexter, you're the perfect addiction.

Üç maymun (2008) 1.5/5

Ultimately boring... great visuals, but weak, unengaging story.

0.3
Synecdoche, New York (2008) 5/5
2009-03-06 23:24

A world of its own. A world of Charlie Kaufman. Great movie about passing away and importance of things. And even though the world goes on for eons and eons you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain wasting years for a phone call or a letter or a look... from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes, or it seems to, but it doesn't really. So you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope that something good will come along.

Third season blows. Everything's so lame... No new, fresh ideas, only old ones played over and over again.
0.3
Martyrs (2008) 3.5/5
2009-03-30 00:26

Nothing, nothing could prepare me for this one. Truly the most gruesome, brutal, shocking, violent, disgusting, repulsive movie I've ever seen (watching it in HD might have something to do with it too). One that stays with you for a long time...
0.3
Passchendaele (2008) 2/5

That's It, That's All. (2008) 4/5
2009-04-05 23:25

Decent snowboarding movie. Snowboarding is not a sport. It's a way of life.
0.3
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) 2.5/5
2009-04-06 23:06

OK, I guess. Nothing out of the average.
0.3
Man on Wire (2008) 4/5
2009-04-07 23:47

Just a man on a wire. Big deal.
0.3
Quantum of Solace (2008) 4.5/5
2009-04-09 00:05

Bond hardly ever fails. In fact, never.
0.3
Vals Im Bashir (2008) 4/5
2009-04-09 23:41

Animated (sort of) documentary. Reminded me a little bit about Persepolis, which made a very strong impresion on me. This one had not such an impact.
0.3
Dung che sai duk (1994) 2/5
2009-04-10 23:55

Way too artsy for my taste (watched the 2008 Redux version).
0.3
Batman: Gotham Knight (2008) (V) 3/5
2009-04-11 19:55

OK Batman spin-off. Kind like Animatrix, only way worse.
0.3
The Dark Knight (2008) 4.5/5
2009-04-11 23:41

Good. Very good in fact. Not great, although close. Why So Serious?
0.3
Doubt (2008/I) 4/5
2009-04-12 20:54

Very good. Strong performance duo by Hoffman/Strip.
0.3
The Escapist (2008) 4/5
2009-04-12 23:14

Decent prison-break style movie.
0.3
Muk gong (2006) 4.5/5
2009-04-13 23:20

Very entertaining. Great portrait of people with power that became delusional.
0.3
Frost/Nixon (2008) 4.5/5
2009-04-14 23:38

- Did you order the Code Red? Col. Jessep: - You’re Goddamned right I did!. So much like A Few Good Men. Still, excellent.
0.3
Australia (2008) 3/5
2009-04-16 00:01

Too family-movie. Too cliche. Too black/white characters. A little too long, yet too short (you can tell where the cuts have been made).
0.3
What Doesn't Kill You (2008) 3.5/5
2009-04-17 23:38

Decent.
0.3
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) 4/5
2009-04-18 22:53

Still love Sci-Fi movies. Even the lousy ones like this.
0.3
The Reader (2008) 5/5
2009-04-19 23:37

Left me speechless and crying.
0.3
Rachel Getting Married (2008) 2/5
2009-04-20 23:50

"Did you notice how there were no Eskimos, gays nor transvestite represented in this movie. What a racist movie! And the band at the wedding wasn't village people doing YMCA. Another proof that this movie is homophobic. " "What on earth does the colour or nationality of the wedding guests and friends in this wonderful movie have to do with anything. They're all just people." "are you saying Eskimos, native Americans and Australian aborigenes are not people? they weren't represented in this movie." "Why the fu_ck should Eskimos, native Americans etc be represented in the movie." "Because Rachel is getting married." And that basically sums it up. Way overdone. Dogma US style.
0.3
Last Chance Harvey (2008) 4.5/5
2009-04-21 23:36

Smart, wit, intelligent. Almost magical. Great little gem.
0.3
Nine Lives (2005) 2.5/5
2009-04-22 17:25

Ok, I s'pose. Little bit without context, just some stories, not necessairly very interconnected.
0.3
Slumdog Millionaire (2008) 5/5
2009-04-23 23:38

Certainly made me cry. And completely blew me away too. Strange that this kind of movie got an Oscar. Even stranger is that it got the most important one. Strong piece of cinema and very unlike any Bollywood movie you might have seen.
0.3
Afro Samurai: Resurrection (2009) (TV) 3.5/5
2009-04-24 22:54

No that good as the original. Entertaining enough, though.
0.3
Entre les murs (2008) 4/5
2009-04-25 20:08

Good. Very good, even. But Palme d'Or? C'mon!
0.3
The Wrestler (2008) 5/5
2009-04-25 23:03

Wow...
0.3
Om Shanti Om (2007) 4/5
2009-04-26 23:56

As Bollywood as it gets. Sometimes I think that they make movies purely to show dancing and singing. The story is just something to add in the mix. And of course those movies really take you in after the second hour or so... but then you're in for a really good time.
0.3
Elegy (2008/I) 5/5
2009-04-27 22:35

Beautiful. Touching. I could relate so closely with him.
0.3
Død snø (2009) 1.5/5
2009-04-28 23:22

Zombies, zombies, zombies. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Oh well...
0.3
Oorlogswinter (2008) 4.5/5
2009-04-29 22:42

War through the eyes of a child. No, scratch that. War and fighting of a child during war. Yes, that's more accurate.
0.3
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005) 3.5/5
2009-04-30 23:51

Much too complicated and way too many characters. But I guess that's the way with FF. Played game, once upon a time. Even the 7th, I think. For a little while. Now as the movie goes - stunning visuals and confusing plot. Oh well... ['2009 version].
0.3

May, 2009

Sharkwater (2006) 4.5/5
2009-05-01 21:13

Disturbing eye-opener. Maybe just a little bit too harsh in judging the acts of man, but then again, all movies about protecting the environment are like this.
0.3
Der Baader Meinhof Komplex (2008) 3.5/5
2009-05-02 23:25

The history of RAF. Good, altough very complex and lots of characters.
0.3
Hellraiser (1987) 1.5/5
2009-05-03 22:17

Hellriser aka the mother of all B-class horror movies. Cheesy acting, cheesy music, cheesy effects. The only cool thing was the main hell dude from the poster.
0.3
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) 3/5
2009-05-03 23:51

So-so. Boring at first, little bit engaging later and with a crappy ending, but oh well...
0.3
Steep (2007/I) 4.5/5
2009-05-04 23:40

Big mountain skiing history. This film is so awesome I didn't really mind they were skiing, not snowboarding.
0.3
Defiance (2008) 4.5/5
2009-05-06 23:18

Bielski brothers as the new Schindlers. The Bielskis never sought recognition for what they did... and I was weeping as a child.
0.3
Two Lovers (2008) 4/5
2009-05-07 23:52

So true. So personal. In fact too personal.
0.3
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) 5/5
2009-05-08 23:52

Left me speechless.
0.3
Valkyrie (2008) 4.5/5
2009-05-09 23:44

Stauffenberg. Revisited. Decent.
0.3
Clubbed (2008) 3.5/5
2009-05-10 23:35

Decent, although hardly original.
0.3
Nordwand (2008) 4.5/5
2009-05-11 23:50

Deeply moving. Very tragic story.
0.3
Powder Blue (2009) 4/5
2009-05-12 23:17

Very good. Love those kind of movies.
0.3
Revolutionary Road (2008) 5/5
2009-05-15 00:11

People growing apart of each other. What a thrill ride. One second bursting in tears from laughter, other moment with tragedy and sadeness.
0.3
The Burning Plain (2008) 5/5
2009-05-17 23:58

Love Guillermo Arriaga's work. Love Alejandro González Iñárritu's work. Love love love.
0.3
Dreamgirls (2006) 3/5
2009-05-18 23:32

Uhm, ok, I guess. One good song - One Night Only by Jennifer Hudson, the original one.
0.3
Chi bi (2008) 4.5/5
2009-05-20 00:02

Very good and very enjoyable, even despite the fact, that it's the second time in the last 6 months that I was watching this movie. Tomorrow - Part 2.
0.3
Chi bi xia: Jue zhan tian xia (2009) 4.5/5
2009-05-20 23:49

Great war epic. Could be a true masterpiece if only there were more war and less personal affairs. And maybe just a little bit less CGI. Great war epic, nonetheless.
0.3
Kôkaku kidôtai: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society (2006) 3.5/5
2009-05-21 23:56

Same story told again in a little bit different scenery. I loved the original (one of my all-time favourites). This one's not so great. Still, good watch.
0.3
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) 3.5/5
2009-05-22 23:57

Nice lighthearted comedy. Enjoyable watch with predictable, much too hollywood style ending.
0.3
Il Decameron (1971) 3/5
2009-05-23 20:28

Nine erotic tales set in the Fourteenth century. Interesting watch, maybe a few funny moments. I loved the actors and their teeths.
0.3
I racconti di Canterbury (1972) 3/5
2009-05-24 00:10

Sex tales from the middle ages. Great vision of hell (in the end). Other than that, you must be accustomed more to this kind of cinema to enjoy it properly. Unfortunately, I'm not.
0.3
Il fiore delle mille e una notte (1974) 3.5/5
2009-05-25 00:15

Definitely the best out of the Pasolini's Trilogy of (Sex) Life. I kind of wish the stories were more 'complete' instead of being cut out in the middle.
0.3
Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975) 3.5/5
2009-05-26 00:07

Hard for me to say anything, really. Disturbing, yes. I kind of wish it had been put in a context, with some kind of explanation why and who were those people. [Apparently, after reading some more, the overall context might not have been that much necessary. Although it helped knowing it was based on Marquis de Sade's work.] [The Abu Ghraib/Lynndie England case now looks a little bit different.]
0.3
Fanboys (2008) 5/5
2009-05-27 23:28

Star Wars. It's more than a movie. It's more than life. I still remeber the first Star Wars Episode I trailer. I've watched it way more than a hundred times.
0.3
The International (2009) 4.5/5
2009-05-30 23:58

Very good, even though it plays the old/used/abused international conspiracy theory. Well, this is the difference between truth and fiction. Fiction has to make sense.
0.3
Gran Torino (2008) 5/5
2009-05-31 23:38

Great, big, bold movie.
0.3

June, 2009

Twelve Monkeys (1995) 5/5
2009-06-02 23:58

Definitely one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever. Even though it's not really so much Sci-Fi. It's like the third or fourth time I'm watching this and boy it never gets old. Sure, it's dated now and it even shows, but the emotions are still there. Oh yes they are.
0.3
33 sceny z życia (2008) 5/5
2009-06-03 23:51

Way too heavy and much too personal. Fuck.
0.3
One Week (2008/I) 2.5/5
2009-06-05 00:10

So-so. And more so than so.
0.3
Brave Story (2006) 3/5
2009-06-06 00:01

Barely ok. Too kiddie and too much Miyazaki like.
0.3
Johnny Mad Dog (2008) 4.5/5
2009-06-06 23:27

Murder/rape/plunder. Similar, of course, to the Cidade de Deus.
0.3
The Pixar Story (2007) 4/5
2009-06-07 19:26

Great documentary about a great company making great movies (of which I've seen all).
0.3
Pizza be Auschwitz (2009) 4/5
2009-06-10 21:20

Strong/heavy documentary about a concentration camps surviver doing a journey to the camps with his family. [DKF Marcello]
0.3
Rabbit à la Berlin (2009) 5/5
2009-06-10 22:02

Brilliant analogy made between the rabbits living inside the no man's land inside the Berlin Wall and people living on both sides of it. Funny and tragic at the same time. [DKF Marcello]
0.3
Mala Moskwa (2008) 4.5/5
2009-06-11 20:56

Roméo et Juliette in Moscow, Poland.
0.3
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) 3.5/5
2009-06-13 20:31

Great characters, decent music, interesting story. A little aged now, still some good laughs and fun.
0.3
Cztery noce z Anna (2008) 4.5/5
2009-06-14 23:15

Dark, gritty story about an unfulfilled love.
0.3
Divorzio all'italiana (1961) 4.5/5
2009-06-17 22:57

Very good italian comedy. I was really surprised how funny it was despite being so old. [DKF Marcello]
0.3
Secret défense (2008) 4.5/5
2009-06-18 23:05

Great epsionage/spy thriller. Classic story yet highly enjoyable.
0.3
Serce na dloni (2008) 2.5/5
2009-06-20 00:05

So-so. Rather boring as I've slept through most of it.
0.3
Flammen & Citronen (2008) 3.5/5
2009-06-23 23:40

Decent story about two legendary Danish resistance group heroes during WW2.
0.3
Knowing (2009) 3.5/5
2009-06-25 23:56

Oridnary hollywood catastrophic flick. Stupid, sure, enjoyabe too.
0.3
Franklyn (2008) 3/5
2009-06-27 00:09

Surreal & schrizophrenic trip to the Meanwhile city.
0.3
Che: Part One (2008) 3.5/5
2009-06-27 23:10

Way, way too long. And a little bit boring, although entertaining, momentarily.
0.3
Che: Part Two (2008) 3/5
2009-06-28 23:25

Boliva was difficult for Che and so is the second part of Sodenbergh's biopic. Not much happens, but apparently that's the way it was.
0.3
Zift (2008) 4/5
2009-06-29 23:17

Intriguing/entertaining.

2009-07-05 23:10

Just ok.

Dark police thriller.
0.3
Max Manus (2008) 4.5/5
2009-07-11 19:54

Great movie about a great hero.
0.3
Duplicity (2009) 3/5
2009-07-15 23:28

So-so. I'd give it 5 stars but always-charming Clive Owen stars in it, so it got 6.
0.3
Bottle Shock (2008) 4.5/5
2009-07-19 00:14

Just great. Despite being a little bit naive. Yet all of that was supposedly true.
0.3
The Soloist (2009) 5/5
2009-07-19 23:32

Reminded me a little bit about Reign Over Me. This time, though, it's a true story. Yet it feels surreal.
0.3
San suk si gin (2009) 4/5
2009-07-21 00:17

Decent crime drama starring Jackie Chan in a role like no other.
0.3
Fast & Furious (2009) 3.5/5
2009-07-22 23:10

Stupid, but watchable.
0.3

Superb animation with decent story for a little bigger kids.

Very good.

August, 2009

Root of All Evil? (2006) (TV) 4/5
2009-08-01 12:05

Good old Richard Dawkins. Nothing new here for me. Enjoyable watch nonetheless.
0.3
The God Who Wasn't There (2005) 4/5
2009-08-01 22:31

The God's myth. Debunked.
0.3
Religulous (2008) 4/5
2009-08-02 18:50

Bill Maher's take on various religions. Good laugh, yet scary at the same time.
0.3
Mammoth (2009) 5/5
2009-08-02 23:11

Extremely good. Moodysson shows his top form.
0.3
Adventureland (2009) 1/5
2009-08-04 23:16

Bad, bad, bad. Just plainly bad. Superbad. Only Superbad was super. This one's just bad. Just one funny scene (with the bat).
0.3
Joheunnom nabbeunnom isanghannom / The Good the Bad the Weird (2008) 3.5/5
2009-08-05 22:26

Absurdly weird. Fun, though.
0.3
I Love You, Man (2009) 4/5
2009-08-06 23:55

Funny, funny, funny! Really funny! Which is quite surprising considering how much shit comes out of Hollywood these days.
0.3
The Great Buck Howard (2008) 4.5/5
2009-08-08 00:33

"A" movie about a "B" magician. Scratch that. A mentalist.
0.3
Watchmen (2009) 5/5
2009-08-10 23:29

Don't have to say much. I just loved it.
0.3
Home (2009/I) 3.5/5
2009-08-13 22:52

Visually magnificent, although I don't quite agree with all of the global warming thesis.
0.3
In the Loop (2009) 3.5/5
2009-08-14 23:36

Ok, I guess. Lots of swearing, few quite funny moments, but a little bit too hectic.
0.3
Fifty Dead Men Walking (2008) 4.5/5
2009-08-15 23:23

Excellent.
0.3
Sukai kurora (2008) 4.5/5
2009-08-16 23:45

Excellent. Imdb forums are indispensable when it comes to understanding such movies. And I just loved all references to Poland.
0.3
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) 3/5
2009-08-21 22:22

Quite bad if you see it from the perspective of previous X-Men movies. OK if you see it just for the action. It could've been so good...
0.3
The Informers (2009) 4.5/5
2009-08-23 23:21

Totally incoherent and chaotic. Lots of interconnected stories with AIDS in the background. It was hard to really feel any kind of emotional attachment to any of the characters, as they were all really rotten.
0.3
Sunshine Cleaning (2008) 3/5
2009-08-24 23:21

Watchable. Nothing exceptional, yet not too bad either.
0.3
Crank: High Voltage (2009) 1/5
2009-08-26 23:07

As bad as it gets. Video game straight to the cinema.
0.3
Rudo y Cursi (2008) 3/5
2009-08-28 23:47

So-so.
0.3
State of Play (2009) 5/5
2009-08-29 23:15

Political/crime thriller that keeps you on your toes for full two hours and then some. Perfect, perfect, perfect.
0.3
Angels & Demons (2009) 4.5/5
2009-08-30 23:44

Decent, very decent.
0.3

September, 2009

L'instinct de mort (2008) 4.5/5
2009-09-03 23:14

Brutal. But good. Oh so good.
0.3
Chasseurs de dragons (2008) 3/5
2009-09-04 23:35

Incredibly beautiful. Much, much too family type of movie.
0.3
L'ennemi public n°1 (2008) 4/5
2009-09-05 23:04

Part two. Brutal as well. Enjoyable. Lil' bit longer and lots of the same.
0.3
The Damned United (2009) 4.5/5
2009-09-07 23:37

Damn good.
0.3
General - zamach na Gibraltarze (2009) 4.5/5
2009-09-09 23:21

Excellent topic. So controversial, so many hypothesizes as to the real reason of Sikorski's death. Piss poor quality, as is usual for Polish productions, fortunately it did not have too big of an impact on the movie.
0.3
Sennosc (2008) 4/5
2009-09-11 00:03

Good. Very good in fact.
0.3
Ile wazy kon trojanski? (2008) 4.5/5
2009-09-12 11:14

Very good! Nice little comedy, maybe not an instant cult-classic like some of the other Machulski's movies, but still very good.
0.3
Monsters vs Aliens (2009) 3/5
2009-09-13 23:17

Way too childish and too stupid. Few funny laughs. Average.
0.3
Observe and Report (2009) 3/5
2009-09-18 00:09

Yes, that was very much retarted thank you very much.
0.3
The White Diamond (2004) 4/5
2009-09-18 20:51

One extraordinary man making a movie about another extraordinary man.
0.3
Is Anybody There? (2008) 3.5/5
2009-09-18 22:36

Nice, warm movie.
0.3
Eldorado (2008) 1.5/5
2009-09-19 18:21

Boring. Just that, simply boring.
0.3
Lymelife (2008) 4.5/5
2009-09-19 23:24

The American Dream Sucks. Lyme disease sucks much much more.
0.3
Jerry Maguire (1996) 5/5
2009-09-20 23:15

It's 2009 and a 1996 movie still got me going. It's still one of the best movies of all times, for me. Top 5. Easily. Still made me cry. American Dream all the way. Yes, it had me at the hello.
0.3
Away We Go (2009) 4/5
2009-09-22 00:32

Good. Very good, me thinks.
0.3
Loft (2008/I) 4/5
2009-09-22 23:35

Complicated and maybe just a little bit too unmotivated plot. Stiil, rewarding and very good.
0.3
John Rabe (2009) 5/5
2009-09-24 21:34

Extraordinary man. Similarities to Oscar Schindler are natural.
0.3
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) 3/5
2009-09-27 23:53

Just ok. Few laughs and that's basically it.

Ultimately boring.

Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) 4/5
2009-10-09 22:55

Great film. A little bit one sided, without saying much about the problems associated with electric cars (like how to produce the requireed electricity and how much more does the clean energy cost or the problems with wearing of the batteries). EV1 was really pioneer. No doubt about that. Shame they killed it. Good that electric cars are now being taken more seriously.

The Proposal (2009/I) 3.5/5

Good. Stereotypical, yet enjoyable.

The Brothers Bloom (2008) 3/5

Woody Allen, Woody Allen. How could I not love you if you keep making those films again and again?
0.3
The Soviet Story (2008) 4.5/5
2009-10-13 16:31

Not really an eye opener, as most of those revelations were known to me, but it was definitely a good movie sorting and suming it all up.
0.3
Drag Me to Hell (2009) 4.5/5
2009-10-13 22:56

Very, very decent horror flick.
0.3
Public Enemies (2009) 3/5
2009-10-15 00:26

So-so. Decent story, yet technically awfully bad. Weird sound issues, shaky camera work and everything looks theatrical.
0.3
Tatarak (2009) 4/5
2009-10-25 00:32

Very personal film for Wajda and, even more, for Janda. Difficult and demanding movie, but definitely important in Polish cinematography.

City of Life and Death (2009) 2.5/5

Minimalistic. That's the right word to describe it.

Food, Inc. (2008) 4/5
2009-11-18 22:34

Not really an eye-opener, as I knew already about most of the corporate business behind food. Still, very interesting watch.
0.3
Disgrace (2008) 4/5
2009-11-18 23:50

Very difficult and uncomfortable, even to the point of being unpleasant to watch. Not to mention that I was expecting a political drama, not family tragedies. As usual, some posts on imdb board were very helpful in understanding better the ending and the motives of both main character and his daughter.
0.3
Moon (2009) 5/5
2009-11-20 00:19

Simply put: incredible. And terrifying. Really terrifying. The presented scenario is way too plausible. Just not yet. Loved the 2001 references, especially how Gerty was the exact oppsite of HAL.

The Limits of Control (2009) 3/5
2009-12-03 23:27

Very, very, very slow (read: poetic) crime/drama. No dialogue, almost no story. Artsy.
0.3
Inglourious Basterds (2009) 4.5/5

Wojna polsko-ruska (2009) 3.5/5
2010-01-20 00:05

Nobel Son (2007) 4/5
2010-02-21 01:23

Excellent premises. First half is a very enjoyable joyride. Nice twits, action keeping you on your toes. Excellent dialogues. Exquisite music! All ruined by the closing act. Totally unnecessary twists, too complicated, just poor. Overally it was a good movie that could have been great.

Sin nombre (2009) 4.5/5

The Stoning of Soraya M. (2008) 4.5/5
2010-03-06 00:48

2010-03-07 01:17

Yet another sad story written on the pages of human history. Fifth of the East Timor population killed. Too bad that the film was not good enough to capture my full attention. I found myself reading the wikipedia more than watching the movie.

Los abrazos rotos (2009) 4.5/5
2010-03-14 11:56

Very decent. I both loved and hated the unfinished character of this movie. And it felt like a badly edited one too. Intentionally, of course. Was he blind or was he not? Was he Mateo or was he Harry? Does she love or hate the rich Martel?

0.3
Surrogates (2009) 3.5/5
2010-03-20 18:20

Decent, decent. Even though there were too many technological loopholes that made the whole surrogates design completely unusable in practice, so there was no chance for them to become so ubiquitous as presented. Bruce Wills, however, delivers. Us usually.

2010-05-09 01:00

Polish Crash. And even though there were many movies before showing inter-connected paths of many characters over the course of one night, it is Crash that we all now compare such movies to. And so Zero is the same. And as such, it's Excellent. Oh, and the nightclub's bathroom scene is awesome!

Il divo (2008) 4/5
2010-05-16 00:45

Visually stunning. Storyline could be perhaps more clear as I do not know too much about Italian history of politics, but I wasn't the target of this movie. Corruption, killing, mafia connections and lust for power. Yep. That's what this movie has shown.

No One Knows About Persian Cats (2009) 4.5/5
2010-08-30 23:41

Excellent indie-making in a country, when singing by females is forbidden. Movie forbidden to make, banned in its own country, Iran. Definitely a must see.
0.3
Tokyo! (2008) 3.5/5
2010-08-31 23:47

Overall so-so. Three disconnected stories. Only the last one was good. Others were merely bearable.

Die Fremde / When We Leave (2010) 4/5
2010-09-02 23:01

Same story, same cultures, same countries. It's been told many times over before. Still, this one is quite good. Uneven in the end, this is my only gripe.
0.3
Four Lions (2010) 1.5/5
2010-09-04 14:32

Piss-poor, rather than excellent, as imdb ratings would suggest.
0.3
Echoes of the Rainbow (2010) 3.5/5
2010-09-08 23:00

Beautiful, but ultimately very, very sad movie.
0.3
Ajami (2009) 4/5
2010-09-09 23:35

Comedy of mistakes. Only it's not a comedy. Rather a brutal drama.
0.3
The Ghost Writer (2010) 4/5
2010-09-12 23:02

Indeed a very decent thriller.
0.3
Temple Grandin (2010) (TV) 5/5
2010-09-14 23:14

Exceptional person, exceptional movie, exceptional role. Certainly deserves an Oscar nomination, although I'm quite positive they don't give them out to TV movies.

Hel (2009) 4/5
2010-09-15 23:12

A świat? Świat jest przereklamowany. Very good.

Ondine (2009) 4.5/5
2010-09-19 23:07

Nice fairy-tale. Misery is easy. Happiness... you have to work at.

Gangster's Paradise: Jerusalema (2008) 4.5/5
2010-09-20 23:04

Adapt or die. Excellent movie. Powerful lead performance.
0.3
Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) 5/5
2010-09-21 23:07

Genius. Genius fraud. Or maybe not. Excellent none the less. And the Madonna's Celebration covery is actually incredibly beautiful.
0.3
Mr. Nobody (2009) 4/5
2010-09-22 23:20

The story's been told many times before. Not much there that would make this one any original. Still, the 21st century vision is quite appealing. Good watch.
0.3
Invictus (2009) 4/5
2010-09-24 23:10

Only good. For director this range and the two leads, that's not flattering.
0.3
Shutter Island (2010) 5/5
2010-09-25 23:05

Simply put: excellent.
0.3
Robin Hood (2010) 4.5/5
2010-09-26 20:01

Enjoyable from start till the very end. Sure it was very naive, but the story has got me hooked pretty good.

Kick-Ass (2010) 2/5
2010-09-29 12:14

Piss-poor. Few funny moments and that's it.

Alice in Wonderland (2010) 4/5
2010-10-01 11:19

Very light movie for Tim Burton, I was very surprised at that. Overally it's a nice classic fairytale with lots of visual glory.
0.3
Samâ uôzu / Summer Wars (2009) 2/5
2010-10-01 23:02

Too kiddie for me.

Edge of Darkness (2010) 2.5/5

So-so. I guess I've expected another Taken.

2010-10-07 11:28

Decent.
0.3
The Book of Eli (2010) 4/5
2010-10-10 23:15

Zatoichi meets Mad Max. Loved the post-apocalyptical world. The only flaw was the biblical theme of the film.
0.3
Tangshan dadizhen / Aftershock (2010) 4.5/5
2010-10-11 23:10

Very poignant drama. Recommended.

Wonderful animation accompanying a somewhat not too complicated and not entirely engaging story.

Brooklyn's Finest (2009) 4/5
2010-10-13 20:10

A little bit like Crash. Just a little bit.

Excellent, but who knows if it was Oscar worthy.

From Paris with Love (2010) 1/5
2010-10-16 23:05

Not even remotely good. Few average action scenes and lots and lots of nonsense.

The Wolfman (2010) 3.5/5

Old tale remixed. Watchable.

Ridiculously absurd, total nonsense and, in consequence, utter crap.

Quite decent gore/action flick.
0.3
Predators (2010) 4/5

Decent shoot'em up, although Adrien Brody as a ruthless lead was a little bit miss-casted.

So-so neurotic NY story.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) 3/5
2010-11-01 22:54

OK, but only that. Expected just a lil' bit something better. Too childish, I think.
0.3
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans (2009) 4.5/5
2010-11-02 20:01

Very very good. Bordering on dark too. Bad cop/good cap, it's for you to decide. No judgements here. Loved Herzog's animal's "visions".
0.3

0.3
Pandorum (2009) 5/5
2010-11-14 22:46

Great (and believable!) story, even though it's been done a thousand times in various remixes. Decent acting. Very engaging, I had my hands sweating from start to finish. Overally - excellent movie!

0.3
Agora (2009) 4/5
2010-11-18 21:25

Christianity: keeping humanity in dark ages for as long as neccessary (over 1000 years...).
0.3
A Woman in Berlin (2008) 4.5/5
2010-11-19 21:20

Great study of what war causes to humanity, although sometimes I found it hard to identify with the main character knowing what the Germans did in WW2.
0.3
Back to the Future (1985) 5/5
2010-11-20 16:30

Still one of the best movies of all times. Back in the day it was my number 1 movie. I've watched it over 20 times. Now old age is seen clearly, and some situations, characters seem a little bit goofy, but it still has its charm. And it still just as much enjoyable.
0.3
Back to the Future Part II (1989) 4.5/5
2010-11-20 19:10

Sequel that does not dissapoint is very hard to find. This is one of such rare gems.
0.3
Back to the Future Part III (1990) 4.5/5
2010-11-20 22:08

Definitely the weakest part in the set, but still very enjoyable.
0.3
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2008) 4/5
2010-11-21 19:29

Good docu about a band that's been around for 30 years yet never made it...

Bakjwi (2009) 4/5
2010-11-21 22:36

Chan-wook Park's take on vampires. Decent.
0.3
Crazy Heart (2009) 5/5
2010-11-22 22:45

Simply put: great! Sure it's an old and told many times over story, but Jeff Bridges' perfomance just stole this movie. And the music is great, especially the title song.
0.3
Salt (2010) 3.5/5
2010-11-24 22:56

Sorta fairytale, but enjoyable.
0.3
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) 3.5/5
2010-11-25 22:45

Just OK. Don't know really what the rave is all about.
0.3
The Expendables (2010) 4.5/5
2010-11-27 22:30

Quite good, actually. Even despite being ultimately naive Rambo style. Unbelievable cast - seeing Bruce Wills, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in one scene is a truly memorable experience. Plus Jet Li's role as a sort-of punchbag - marvellous!
0.3
The Princess and the Frog (2009) 2/5
2010-11-28 22:35

Barely ok. Much, much too childish.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) 4.5/5
2010-12-04 23:09

Great story incorporated into the financial crisis of 2008 (besides the "part" about emotionally unstable/totally unreasonable girlfriend). I loved how I could compare Gordon Gekko to Peter Schiff or the bankrupt investment bank to Lehmann Brothers and how all major news events of the crisis were part of the film. It was like going through it again and remembering it all.
0.3
Despicable Me (2010) 5/5
2010-12-05 23:01

Great high-budged entry into the CGI world from a company outside of Pixar/Dreamworks. And what an entry it is! Simply put: marvelous and funny as hell. I was laughing basically all way long. I also loved how it sometimes crossed the line between a movie for kids and a movie for aduls (meaning there were some scenes, which are not really that appropriate for children). I wish it would at least be nominated for Oscar.
0.3
Armadillo (2010) 4/5
2010-12-06 22:55

War. Only this time it's 100 per cent authentic. Like in for real. This means that most of the time nothing happens - we are as much bored as the actual soldiers - but when the action comes, it comes in full.
0.3
22 Bullets (2010) 4/5
2010-12-09 22:45

Decent French crime/drama. And even though it's filled with clichés from start till the end, it's a good watch. Oh and even despite the improbability of driving a bike like that with one arm paralyzed.
0.3
Knight and Day (2010) 4.5/5
2010-12-10 23:15

Surprisingly good! Maybe even great. Works basically as a Mission Impossible/James Bond type of movies spoof. This works especially well for Tom Cruise, where he is playing the same "hero" as in MI. Only this time he's winking at us suggesting that it's all just for laughs. And you laugh, oh yes you do. Very.
0.3
The First Beautiful Thing (2010) 4/5
2010-12-11 23:13

Very good family drama. Nothing new, similar stories have been told already, but it still managed to catch my attention.
0.3
Shrek Forever After (2010) 3.5/5
2010-12-12 22:41

Quite decent as far as it comes to 4th installments. And funny too, surprisingly as you might have fought they have squeezed any laught you can get out of Shrek in the previous three parts.
0.3
The Other Guys (2010) 3/5
2010-12-13 22:40

Quite stupid. Actually very stupid. But, unfortunately, also quite funny. Some of the times.
0.3
New York, I Love You (2009) 3.5/5
2010-12-14 22:55

Decent set of stories with one, no, two things in common - New York and Love.
0.3
Eve no jikan (2010) 2/5
2010-12-15 23:10

Another botched Arthur C. Clarke adaptation.
0.3
Restrepo (2010) 3.5/5
2010-12-17 22:55

Very simliar to Armadillo - ie: war, only for real (as it's a docu). Little boring, but there's helluva lot more shooting.
0.3
Endgame (2009) 4/5
2010-12-18 22:54

Very good depiction of the talks that led to the freeing of Nelson Mandela.
0.3
The Town (2010) 4.5/5
2010-12-20 22:50

Great crime/action movie. Really has got it, even though the story is not that original.
0.3
Inception (2010) 5/5
2010-12-21 23:10

Matrix revisited. Just one word: OMFG! Definitely THE movie to see in 2010. Or 2011 if you don't hurry.
0.3
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) 1/5
2010-12-23 23:05

Really, really bad. I cannot understand how could it achieve a 7.2 rating on imdb.
0.3
Buried (2010) 4/5
2010-12-28 22:49

Quite decent despite being basically a one-man/one-location show.
0.3
The American (2010) 4.5/5
2010-12-31 22:52

Homage to The Limits of Control, The Day of the Jackal, Sergio Leone's and James Bond movies. Although I must say, that choosing George Clooney for the lead was a controversial decision. He's normally a very social, the life and the soul of the party type of guy, while here he plays a very introverted and untalkative character. That felt kid of strange.

The Social Network (2010) 5/5
2011-01-01 23:05

Excellent watch! The story really takes you in and never let go. And I didn't mind that supposedly most of the story was not entirely true (aka made up). Great movie to start the year with!
0.3
Red Hill (2010) 4.5/5
2011-01-02 22:48

Excellent! I loved the good vs evil allegory, that this whole movie was. Kind of reminded me No Country for Old Men.
0.3
Kray (2010) 4.5/5
2011-01-04 22:55

Very, very good. Brutal, full of fights, filled with grit and dirt. Raw. And great train chases!
0.3
White Material (2009) 3/5
2011-01-05 22:52

Very uneven movie. Seems like lots of things have been left out. The ending doesn't make too much sense either.
0.3
Machete (2010) 3.5/5
2011-01-06 23:05

Quite naive, but that was probably the point. Storyline does not really matter, it's all about fights, punch lines, boobs and, of course, Machete!
0.3
Kajinek (2010) 4.5/5
2011-01-07 23:05

Excellent! In Poland we had Dług, a story about crime after the fall of the Communism. In Czech republic there is Kajinek.
0.3
Carlos (2010) 4/5
2011-01-08 23:20

It was almost a documentary, depicting the life of a very famous gangster/terrorist - Carlos The Jackal. I loved how he was cooperating with Saddam Hussein, KGB chief, Stasi and other numerous organizations. It was a little eye-opening that certain countries (East Germany, Hungary, Syria, Sudan) gave him asylum, providing with money, shelter and military security. I believe the same can be said now about Osama bin Laden, I'm certain some government somewhere is aiding him. Now as far as the movie goes, it's a little uneasy to watch, as there are lots of people, lots of places and hardly any plot connecting it all (apart, of course, from the main character - Carlos). it lacks a standard plot scheme. I've watched the 165 min version. And it felt a little bit too long, dragging on sometimes. I cannot even image how the 550 min version could be. It's a good watch, nonetheless, as it accurately portrays modern forms of terrorism.
0.3
Never Let Me Go (2010) 4/5
2011-01-09 22:05

Haunting love/jealousy story, which stays with you long after the movie has ended. Subtle Sci-Fi background, creating an alternative universe, hardly showing any "magic" gadgets. Worthwhile.
0.3
Somewhere (2010) 4.5/5
2011-01-10 23:15

Definitely not a movie for everybody. There's really not that much character development, no coherent storyline, it's life, just as it is and for the protagonist it's filled mostly with boredom. But the movie is quite the opposite. I found it quite engaging, especially given the fact that I've dreamed the life he's living (haven't we all?).
0.3
The Cove (2009) 4.5/5
2011-01-11 23:27

Japan killing dolphins? Seriously, wtf?
0.3
Conviction (2010) 4/5
2011-01-12 22:55

Very good, although quite predictable.
0.3
Rock On!! (2008) 2.5/5
2011-01-13 22:42

So-so. It's ok but only as far as Bollywood movies go. Too cliche, too naive, too unrealistic, too absurd.
0.3
Lost in Translation (2003) 5/5
2011-01-14 23:23

Still one of the best romance movies of all times. It hasn't aged even a little bit. Bill Murray is simply at his best in this role. I was crying from laughter during almost every other scene with him.
0.3
Enter the Void (2009) 3.5/5
2011-01-16 23:20

Experimental European cinema as practiced by Gaspar Noe. This is just what you could expect out of him. It bares some resemblance to his Irreversible, although not that high. It's good, not great.
0.3
Inland Empire (2006) 1/5
2011-01-17 23:05

After few years I have finally plucked up the courage to watch this. And boy, oh was I disappointed. Three hours of almost complete nonsense. It seems I'm not cut out for that kind of mind bending movies. Apparently there is some sense in it (see imdb FAQ), but I did not see it.
0.3
Welcome to the Rileys (2010) 3.5/5
2011-01-18 23:05

Very much like a Sunday afternoon movie. Quite good too. James Gandolfini was very good, as usual.
0.3
Fish Tank (2009) 4/5
2011-01-20 11:00

Raw, sometimes brutal, faul language, suburban low-life communities. And a 15-yo girl lost in it. Very good.
0.3
Sita Sings the Blues (2008) 3.5/5
2011-01-20 22:55

Loved the music, loved the visuals, loved the CC-SA license, loved some of the dialogs although the overall story was so-so (I guess I'm not that into Hinduism).
0.3
Goemon (2009) 4/5
2011-01-22 23:05

Quite good. CGI was a little bit dated, but it had artistic touches that made it actually good. The story may be just a little bit over the top.
0.3
Die Tür (2009) 3/5
2011-01-23 22:55

OK, I suppose. I liked the acting, the story, but the concept of this tunnel was so-so.
0.3
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) 3/5
2011-01-25 23:07

Highly opinionated, highly subjective, highly manipulative and highly skew towards one option. Just your another typical Michael Moore movie. Some things he got right, others not quite.
0.3
It Might Get Loud (2008) 3/5
2011-01-26 22:58

Just ok. It might be that I have never been much into playing the guitar.
0.3
Mei Lanfang (2008) 4/5
2011-01-27 23:10

Quite good, even though the movie is a biography of a Chinese opera singer.
0.3
Copie conforme (2010) 5/5
2011-01-29 18:58

Excellent! Even more than that. Multi-layered, personal, ambiguous love-story. Great dialugue, great acting both by Binoche and Shimell. Perfect little gem.
0.3
Unstoppable (2010) 5/5
2011-01-29 22:26

Excellent! Basically non-stop action movie from one third till the end, even though it deals with an unmanned train going on a journey. Highly entertaining.
0.3
À bout de souffle (1960) 3.5/5
2011-01-30 22:05

- What is your greatest ambition? - To become immortal... and then die. A movie that defined pop culture (and how movies would be made) for the times to come. Now, 50 years later, it looses much of its appeal to become only a lesson in history of filmmaking. A valuable lesson, though.

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) 4.5/5
2011-02-01 22:33

Another wonderful production by Woody Allen. Top-notch humor, excellent dialogs and intriguing and engaging story.

Macross Frontier: The False Songstress (Gekijôban Makurosu F: Itsuwari no utahime) (2009) 2.5/5

2011-02-04 23:11

Not as great as the first part, but still very good nonetheless.

Millennium 3: Luftslottet som sprängdes (2009) 4/5
2011-02-05 23:30

Still very good, but not that great as the first part. It kind of reminds me of Matrix and its two sequels. They were still quite good (imo), but did not live up to the first part. Same goes for the Millennium trilogy.
0.3
Mao's Last Dancer (2009) 4/5
2011-02-06 23:10

Real story of a Chinese ballet dancer. Quite good.
0.3
Mr. Nice (2010) 3/5
2011-02-07 23:12

Well Blow it is not. And Rhys Ifans is no Johnny Depp either. Overally So-so.
0.3
Chak De India! (2007) 3.5/5
2011-02-08 23:05

It's OK. And it says quite a lot about this Bollywood flick. The main gripe about it is that its pure fiction, whereas Hollywood movies about the proverbial underdog in sports are mostly based on facts. Other than that it's your typical Bollywood movie.
0.3
This Is It (2009) 4.5/5
2011-02-09 23:10

MJ4Ever. He was the true king of pop. The movie felt like a 110 min long videoclip. The only gripe I have is that he decided not to sing his best song (imo) - Dirty Diana.
0.3
Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa: Gekijô-ban hagane no renkinjutsushi:... 3.5/5
2011-02-10 22:36

Good, although there were lots of different characters and the storyline was quite complicated.
0.3
Tamara Drewe (2010) 5/5
2011-02-15 23:15

Brilliant! Extremely funny comedy by Stephen Frears. Virtually no dull moments. Also, it has a certain Woody Allen's attitude to drawing the characters and driving the story forward. Highly recommended.
0.3
Aruitemo aruitemo (2008) 2.5/5
2011-02-17 23:09

Not really engaging. It has rather put me to sleep instead of taking me in.
0.3
Czekajac na Sobote (2010) 4.5/5
2011-02-18 22:40

Polish country-side. Nothing less, nothing more. Maybe even nothing new, but that might be too much. It's been a long time since I've seen so engaging Polish documentary.
0.3
Out of Rosenheim / Bagdad Cafe (1987) 3/5
2011-02-20 20:54

Despite being a little bit boring and dragging on at times, it has its charms. Although not that many.
0.3
Waiting for Superman (2010) 4.5/5
2011-02-21 22:30

Exceptional docu about American public schools system. It was quite eye-opening to see how it's ruled by worker unions and basically irrevocable tenures for teachers (ie: socialism in its full form). And how bad it has become precisely because of that. One quote struck me the most: local union leadership found Rhee's proposal so threatening, they would not even allow a vote (emphasis mine). I don't know about you, but for me this sounds as a dictatorship rule. North Korea, anyone?
0.3
Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counter Attack / Kidô senshi Gandamu: Gyakushû no Shâ (1988) 1/5
2011-02-22 22:59

Science-fiction-anime-mumbo-jumbo. Quite bad if you ask me, but I haven't seen any other Mobile Suit Gundam movie/series.
0.3
Get Low (2009) 4/5
2011-02-24 22:50

Quite decent. I wonder how much of it was true. Bill Murray, was, as usual, Bill Murray, meaning hysterical laugh from time to time.
0.3
Blood Into Wine (2010) 4.5/5
2011-02-25 22:47

Great docu about the perils of making wine. In Arizona, on top of that, a state which had never seen vines. And by the Tool leader, Maynard James Keenan. Very inspiring and really engaging. Funny too.
0.3
Faster (2010) 4/5
2011-02-26 22:38

Very good non-stop action flick. Nothing earth shattering or ground braking, but it's a very nice ride from start till finish.
0.3
Monsters (2010) 3/5
2011-02-27 22:55

Tries really hard to be like Cloverfield. Well, maybe it tried too hard. Lot's of things weren't right. Acting and the overall story being the main culprits. But it's not entirely bad. It's quite ok to watch.

It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010) 5/5
2011-03-02 23:00

Good. Like, just really good. Sure, a little cliche, idealized and simplified, but still good!
0.3
Inside Job (2010) 5/5
2011-03-04 22:55

Great round-up of the reasons that brought the financial crisis of 2008. Not that much new here (if you've covered as it unfolded), but it was quite funny, for example, to find out that after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy their London offices had to be abruptly closed, without any prior notification (without the ability to make any transactions). I also loved how they made assholes out of all those Harvard professors, economics experts, CEOs, etc. Die, fuckers! And, of course, I cringe to see Obama putting in the financial administration the very same people who are regarded as "architects" of the crisis and in consequence they do nothing to fix the causes of the crisis or hold at least some people/institutions accountable for all this mess. In other words - a well deserved Oscar for the Best Documentary Feature.
0.3
Due Date (2010) 4.5/5
2011-03-06 22:35

Quite stupid, if you ask me, but it also has some extremely funny scenes (like the rescue). And I simply love Zach Galifianakis! Very, very entertaining.
0.3
My Name Is Khan (2010) 4.5/5
2011-03-07 23:03

Cliche, unrealistic and predictable yet it has trigged all the right emotions. Very, very good.
0.3
Silent Möbius (1993) 3/5
2011-03-08 22:30

OK, I suppose. Maybe just a bit too short. And vintage too.
0.3
I'm Here (2010) 3.5/5
2011-03-08 23:02

Decent allegory on a one-sided relation ship in a retro-future robot world.
0.3
Mind Game (2004) 3/5
2011-03-09 22:50

Uhm, trippy drug adventure. Very experimental in nature. You're either gonna love or hate it.
0.3
Kaboom (2010) 1.5/5
2011-03-10 22:55

Piss-poor. Barely funny and only momentarily. Gregg Araki, what are you doing? Don't waste your talent! Get your sh*t together and write/direct something decent again. Pretty please?
0.3
Aa! Megamisama! / Ah! My Goddess!: The Movie (2000) 2.5/5
2011-03-12 22:58

Very so-so. Reminded me a little bit about Sailor Moon.
0.3
Top wo Nerae! / Gunbuster (Video 1988) 3.5/5
2011-03-13 22:50

Classic 80s anime. Somewhat cheesy and with unnecessary nudity but it had its charm. What really shined, though, is the ending (+2 stars for that).
0.3
Top wo Nerae 2! Diebuster (Video 2004) 0.5/5
2011-03-14 22:58

Piss-poor. First part was quite good, but this is quite the opposite.
0.3
Megamind (2010) 4.5/5
2011-03-16 22:50

Very good! I'm a sucker for a decent superhero(s) movies (especially animations!).
0.3
Tangled (2010) 4.5/5
2011-03-17 23:00

Exceptionally good. The only drawback was those horrible dancing/singing intermissions. C'mon, it's 2011, could we please get rid of them and proceed with the storyline? Oh, and the just way too smart horse. I know, I know, it's for kids, blah, blah, but... it still takes away a little from the overall enjoyment.
0.3
Trolljegeren (2010) 4/5
2011-03-18 22:59

Blair Witch Project started it all and this is just a recent picture following the same pattern. Innovative? Not really. Enjoyable? Definitely so!
0.3
Ajeossi / The Man from Nowhere (2010) 5/5
2011-03-19 23:20

One of THE BEST action flicks in recent years. Simply put - it's awesome! Awesome acting, awesome shooting, awesome fist fights and the most awesome of them all - knife fights! I wonder how it is so that when in a Hollywood action movie the protagonist solely by himself kills 20 men, it simply looks ridiculous (think Sylvester Stallone/Jason Statham), but when the same happens in a South Korean movie (think this flick or Chan-wook Park's works), it looks convincing and even realistic - but first and foremost awesome! This movie was so good, that even the oh-just-a-little too cheesy ending did not ruin it even by one little bit.
0.3
Fair Game (2010) 5/5
2011-03-21 21:02

Excellent picture describing what you can do with too much power. What is really saddening is that it is all true. Lives were destroyed, some people could even have been killed and the people responsible for that were not brought to trial. This just shows the shortcomings of democracy and how corrupt it has become (in the USA, but I can say the very same things about the state of matters here in Poland).
0.3
Essential Killing (2010) 2.5/5
2011-03-21 22:55

Much too ambiguous as for my taste. Too artistic, although I must admit that the first half was quite good. It's the second half and the ending, with its symbolism, that got me bored.
0.3
All Good Things (2010) 3/5
2011-03-22 22:55

So-so. Sure, power corrupts and ultimate power currupts ultimately, up to a point your wife commits suicide or you need to kill her. It just did not convince me.
0.3
127 Hours (2010) 5/5
2011-03-23 22:59

Excellent! Although I must say that it was very uneasy to watch it. Certainly not for the faint hearted. Out of all pictures that were basically a one-(trapped)-man-show, this is one of the best.
0.3
The Fighter (2010) 4/5
2011-03-28 23:10

Very, very good. Raw, very down to earth, and a little brutal too.
0.3
Revanche (2008) 4.5/5
2011-03-29 23:20

Extremely good thriller/psychological drama. Quiet, slow and simple yet quite disturbing. Loved the semi-open resolution.
0.3
The Next Three Days (2010) 4.5/5
2011-03-31 23:10

Excellent! Kept me on my toes up until the ending. And while this is not your usual prison-escape drama, it has lots of charms.
0.3

April, 2011

Made in Dagenham (2010) 3.5/5
2011-04-01 22:45

Decent. This is how women got government guaranteed equal payment for the same job.
0.3
The King's Speech (2010) 4.5/5
2011-04-02 23:29

Really, really good. Just not that uber-great as Oscars would lead you to believe. But it's definitely a must-see movie. The highlight for me was Timothy Spall as Winston Churchill - now I'd very much like to see a movie about him with Timothy in the lead!
0.3
TRON: Legacy (2010) 3.5/5
2011-04-03 22:45

Good, but only that. Sure, it's geeky/nerdy and it's cool because of that, but it's so absurd and stupid at the same time it made me cringe. Oh, and the visuals are really stunning. The computer world is really, really beautiful and the CGI effects are top-notch.
0.3
Tropa de Elite 2 - O Inimigo Agora É Outro (2010) 4.5/5
2011-04-05 22:50

Very good sequel to the original, which was a little masterpiece. Now it's much less shooting/killing and more about the corruption in police and government.
0.3
Black Swan (2010) 5/5
2011-04-06 22:55

Exceptional. I simply love Darren Aronofsky's works. Who knows what pushed him into the dance genre, but he executed flawlessly. As usual, it's a rather dark story, telling us things about humanity we maybe would like not to know. The obsession of being perfect is no stranger to me. But anyway, Natalie Portman was perfect in her role. Fragile, naive, infantile, completely introverted yet extremely focused. And, of course, beautiful.
0.3
Ghosts of Cité Soleil (2006) 4/5
2011-04-07 22:44

Decent look into politics mixed with drugs/guns/violence in a corrupted Haiti.
0.3
Le concert (2009) 5/5
2011-04-08 23:03

Bolshoi movie! Simply put, it's excellent. Funny, smart, engaging, etc.
0.3
Katalin Varga (2009) 4.5/5
2011-04-10 22:55

Dark, disturbing tale almost without any positive characters and without any positive outcome for any of the characters involved. Crime does not pay.
0.3
Loong Boonmee raleuk chat / Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) 1/5
2011-04-12 21:02

Uhm, it seems it's been too long since I've watched any artsy movies. Palme d'Or? C'mon! There's hardly any story at all in here.
0.3
GasLand (2010) 5/5
2011-04-12 22:57

Must-see for anyone who has even a slight interest in shale gas extraction (using a process known as hydraulic fracturing or just fracking). I really felt sorry for all those people who have to live now with contaminated water in their area and natural gas coming out together with of their taps (aka flammable water). It's even more scary to me, as big corporations and the government in Poland is trying to force hydrofracking on us (first by a massive media campaign).
0.3
Boy (2010) 4.5/5
2011-04-13 22:58

Great coming-of-age story from NZ! Really worthwhile your time. It's both charming and poignant.
0.3
DeUsynlige / Troubled Water (2008) 4/5
2011-04-15 23:10

Very good crime/punishment/redemption story.
0.3
Nefes: Vatan sagolsun / The Breath (2009) 4/5
2011-04-16 22:54

Decent war drama based on real events on the Turkish border in 1993. Not much action overall, but that how it was in real life.
0.3
Hereafter (2010) 5/5
2011-04-17 23:05

Even though it's a simple, even naive story and a completely unrealistic one at that (afterlie? C'mon, it's been done many times over) it was still extremely good. But it's no surprise as it had Clint Eastwood - the master - as a director. I simply love his works - to me he's one of the best there are. Don't stop directing, you're just so good at it!
0.3
Shake Hands with the Devil (2007) 5/5
2011-04-18 23:02

Rwandan Genocide of 1994 once again. And shown extremely well too. A little bit different perspective from Hotel Rwanda, but the story is very similar. It really was a failure of humanity. Whole wide world rather looked away while they should've been listening closely to the cries for help.
0.3
Submarino (2010) 4.5/5
2011-04-19 23:10

Very, very dark and sad movie. There was no hope for main characters and there is no hope for the child. Pathology lives on, there's no way of breaking it.
0.3
Takva (2006) 3/5
2011-04-20 22:55

Decent, but it somehow failed to capture my full attention.
0.3
Another Year (2010) 3.5/5
2011-04-21 23:10

Decent. Not great, but quite good. While I enjoyed the older happily married couple and their relationships with friends and other family members, the whole movie missed a grand concept. There was hardly any conclusion. Just another year in life.
0.3
Kim Bok-nam salinsageonui jeonmal / Bedevilled (2010) 3.5/5
2011-04-23 22:50

OK, but it was a little bit over-the-top. Unbelievable in other words. She should have rebelled much, much sooner. But since this was a South Korean movie, it was still enjoyable.
0.3
The Mechanic (2011) 2.5/5
2011-04-24 22:40

Quite bad if you ask me. Statham's movies are getting worse and worse with each new one out. It's so absurdly stupid it made me cringe. Half-decent action sequences saved it, otherwise I would've stopped watching it halfway through.
0.3
The Green Hornet (2011) 2.5/5
2011-04-26 23:13

Very, very stupid. Actually it kind of insulted my intelligence at times. But it was funny too, if only momentarily. Overall its so-so.
0.3
Rabbit Hole (2010) 3.5/5
2011-04-27 22:55

Sad story about a loss of a child. It was ok, but Nicole Kidman's character was way out of line few times, acting really psycho.
0.3
The Way Back (2010) 5/5
2011-04-29 23:15

Touching, poignant drama loosely based on a true story (or not, there's some controversy about it) of a couple of people who have escaped Siberian gulag and have travelled over 4000 miles to India. And what an incredible journey that was!
0.3
Tirza (2010) 3.5/5
2011-04-30 23:10

Descending into darkness shown quite decently.

May, 2011

Des hommes et des dieux / Of Gods and Men (2010) 4/5
2011-05-01 23:27

Decent, even despite being awfully slow, but add to that, that this is indeed a story, which has really happened and you get quite an excellent movie. But, unfortunately, still slow, way too slow. But that's how it's supposed to be among monks.
0.3
Soul Kitchen (2009) 4.5/5
2011-05-02 23:35

Excellent! Light, funny, engaging. Sure, I might have expected something much stronger from Faith Akin, but he can make such a light-themed movie just as good.
0.3
Blue Valentine (2010) 4.5/5
2011-05-04 20:14

Exceptionally good. Shows real characters, neither good, neither bad, just normal people with their own problems trying to be together and raise a daughter. Excellent cast/acting. Good music.
0.3
Weekend (2011) 1.5/5
2011-05-05 23:02

Let me first start with the good things. Top-notch music. I was really surprised by how good it was. And one other thing - Paweł Małaszyński. His acting was on a really good level. Everyone else was simply ridiculous. Add to that a very absurd story and you've got yourself another pointless Polish crime/comedy, with poor dialogues, cheap special effects and terrible gags. And that pretty much sums it up.
0.3
Made in Hungária / Made in Hungary (2009) 3.5/5
2011-05-06 23:10

Good, not great. I think that creators had more fun making it, than me watching it. Could have been much better if there wasn't so much music and so many absurd situations.
0.3
Napapiirin sankarit / Lapland Odyssey (2010) 4.5/5
2011-05-07 22:45

Quite good! Funny, smart, engaging. The biggest gripe were the super-cheap and completely unnecessary CGI effects.
0.3
Última Parada 174 / Last Stop 174 (2008) 4.5/5
2011-05-08 23:33

Exceptionally good. But this is to be expected from the writer of Tropa de Elite. I also loved how the BOPE leader was played by the same actor in both movies. In 174 it stroke me how much fucked up Brazil is -- where you have masked cops killing homeless children and where policemen kill criminals in police car while driving to the station. Both with cold blood. Worthwhile.
0.3
Kill the Irishman / Bulletproof Gangster (2011) 4/5
2011-05-09 23:20

Decent mobster flick about the man whom even mafia could not kill. And it's a true story!
0.3
Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) 4.5/5
2011-05-12 23:01

Surprisingly good! And extremely funny too, I was laughing my ass off and that was despite or maybe because it was so absurd!
0.3
Chico & Rita (2010) 2.5/5
2011-05-13 23:10

So-so. I don't know why, but it failed to capture my attention. It was dragging on at the beginning for so long that I've completely lost interest in it and started doing something else simultaneously. The story was good, just the pace of it was way too slow.
0.3
Xin shao lin si / Shaolin (2011) 3/5
2011-05-15 23:15

Barely OK and unfortunately nothing more. Good characters are literal saints, ready to sacrifice their lives just to save some unknown bypasser Bad characters are so evil, that the devil himself looks like saint in comparison. All is black and white, no in-betweens. And all that absurd with "you know what? I'll let you kill me, just to prove my point". So overall it's a very mediocre movie. Even despite wonderful performance by Andy Lau and great role by Jackie Chan (not knowing he's in it, it was a very pleasant and funny surprise to see him).
0.3
Vincere (2009) 4/5
2011-05-17 23:10

Good! Interesting story of a shadow - i.e. his mistress - of a very dark figure in Italy's history. The villain become even more evil.
0.3
I Am Number Four (2011) 3/5
2011-05-18 22:55

Dull, stupid, cliche, cheesy. All that. But it's made in USA so it's as easy-watching as can be. And it's as much engaging as it can be - so there's not really any stopping for boring moments. But overall it's pretty mediocre.
0.3
Drive Angry (2011) 3.5/5
2011-05-19 23:05

Ultimately stupid yet quite enjoyable. Must be because I like Nicolas Cage so much.
0.3
The Company Men (2010) 5/5
2011-05-20 23:10

Excellent look at human aspect of corporate capitalism. Loved the main characters, especially Tommy Lee Jones' one.
0.3
L'illusionniste / The Illusionist (2010) 3/5
2011-05-21 23:10

Has its charm, that I can't dispute, but lacks a captivating story. It's beautifully drawn, no doubt about it, but did not manage to capture my attention enough.
0.3
Neds (2010) 4.5/5
2011-05-22 23:05

Very good! It was quite shocking how easily you could descend from being number one in your class to basically a NED (Non-educated delinquent).
0.3
Battle: Los Angeles (2011) 2/5
2011-05-23 23:17

Very, very mediocre. Absurd story, lausy dialoges that make you cringe and bad acting by most supporting actors playing soldiers. Only the effects were ok.
0.3
Like Dandelion Dust (2009) 3/5
2011-05-25 23:20

Decent, but felt too much like just another Sunday TV movie. And the story, or maybe just the protagonist - Rip - was not entirely convincing.
0.3
Brestskaya krepost / The Brest Fortress (2010) 4.5/5
2011-05-26 23:27

LOVE war dramas. Loved it just as well. Maybe it was just a little bit too tragic/too sad, but it was based on facts, so there was no other way...
0.3
Route Irish (2010) 3/5
2011-05-28 23:58

Good, but only that. Somehow failed to capture my full attention, even though the story and the protagonist were quite good.
0.3
Barney's Version (2010) 4.5/5
2011-05-30 23:30

Started as an extremely funny comedy ultimately becoming a very poignant and touching drama. Loved Paul Giamatti as Barney Panofsky.

Les petits mouchoirs / Little White Lies (2010) 3/5
2011-06-01 23:30

Really, really unsympathetic characters and their story. I could not emphasize with any one of them. Even though I tried. Surprisingly you still watch it nonetheless.
0.3
Biutiful (2010) 4.5/5
2011-06-02 23:30

Very depressing movie. No, really. Main character's situation was so bad, that I had trouble watching it. I needed to switch off momentarily not to be too depressed. It's a really beautiful movie, it just gets too deep into you.
0.3
Contracorriente / Undertow (2009) 3.5/5
2011-06-06 23:25

Simple characters, simple story. It only got really engaging in the second part of the movie. Good, but only that.
0.3
The Last Hangman (2005) 4/5
2011-06-09 23:33

Decent. Loved Timothy Spall's role, he did it superbly. Also loved the message - a quotation by Albert Pierrepoint himself: The fruit of my experience has this bitter aftertaste... Capital punishment, in my view, achieved nothing except revenge..
0.3
Autoreiji / Outrage (2010) 3.5/5
2011-06-10 23:37

Totally absurd. And absurdly brutal - on the verge of being absurdly funny. Just absurd beyond belief. And even though almost everyone has been killed, they're still making a sequel.
0.3
Elle s'appelait Sarah / Sarah's Key (2010) 5/5
2011-06-11 23:30

Very poignant drama with excellent lead by Kristin Scott Thomas. And even though the story is fictional, it is based on real events that has happened in Paris in 1942. I've cried just a little bit in the end too.
0.3
Unknown (2011) 4/5
2011-06-12 23:20

Very decent! Liam Neeson never fails. Especially in this kind of role. It's not that good as Taken but it's a decent piece of action/thriller cinema.
0.3
Amer (2009) 1/5
2011-06-13 23:03

Certainly not my type of movie. "Art", that's how they're called. Been a while since I've since one of such and it will certainly be a little while till I see the next one.
0.3
Akmareul boatda / I Saw the Devil (2010) 4/5
2011-06-15 23:10

Good. But unfortunately only that. It was quite a disappointment as I've expected a *masterpiece*. Not this time.
0.3
Paul (2011) 2.5/5
2011-06-16 23:15

So-so. Yes, there were some funny moments, true, but the amount of absurdity/stupidity/ignorance was at the point of insulting me and my intelligence. And even though the main /alien/ character shared my first name (and that's how the movie is called too) it only gave it a slight advantage in my overall rating, which is this: barely ok.
0.3
The Adjustment Bureau (2011) 5/5
2011-06-17 23:03

Simply put: AWESOME. I simply *love* all those mind-benders, that make me to think really really hard first, on what the *blip* is actually going on, and second on what I would actually do when put in the protagonist's shoes. And while it borrows heavily from such cult-classics as Inception, Dark City, Matrix and probably several others, it still provides exceptional entertainment value. And that's really what matters. Originality is overrated.
0.3
The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) 4.5/5
2011-06-19 19:29

Very good! Took me a little by surprise as I did not expect this kind of story. Not sure exactly what I had expected, but it surely was not it. But it was very enjoyable and comes highly recommended by me.
0.3
Technotise - Edit i ja (2009) 4/5
2011-06-19 23:05

Decent cyberpunk animated story coming out of Serbia.
0.3
Sucker Punch (2011) 0.5/5
2011-06-21 23:10

Complete utter crap. Can't really say why I did bother with it. Must have been the Zack Snyder's name behind it. Did not help. Sorry... But it might be that I'm not the target group for this movie.
0.3
Henry's Crime (2010) 4/5
2011-06-28 23:08

Surprisingly good! I've always been a big Keanu Reeves fan and this is another role where he simply does not disappoint. Enjoyable story, intriguing main character and quite a lot of funny moments.
0.3
Trust (2010) 3/5
2011-06-29 23:15

Difficult subject, difficult movie. Good, but somehow did not manage to capture my full attention. Too predictable/too schematic.
0.3
Rango (2011) 3.5/5
2011-06-30 23:15

Good, not great, which was kind of disappointing, as lately all CGI animations were really top-notch productions.

Jûsan-nin no shikaku / 13 Assassins (2010) 4.5/5
2011-07-01 23:35

Very good and very serious samurai movie. Although Takashi Miike wouldn't be who he is if he hadn't included a funny character as one of the assassins (although that apparently had a deeper meaning).
0.3
Cedar Rapids (2011) 4.5/5
2011-07-03 09:53

Surprisingly good! You might actually call it a gem among all other crappy comedies coming out of the Hollywood lately. It did not insult my intelligence, which only happens rarely. And it did so even having included few "fart" jokes. Simply put - loved it.
0.3
Limitless (2011) 4.5/5
2011-07-03 23:15

Great "what if?" movie about an otherwise regular man becoming a somewhat superhero. To be able to become ten times smarted than you already are is like a geek's ultimate fantasy. Limitless possibilites indeed... ah, one can dream!
0.3
También la lluvia / Even the Rain (2010) 5/5
2011-07-04 23:25

Excellent! Beautiful parallel between Christopher Columbus' conquering of the New World and the real Bolivia water crisis of 2000 (when an American water company bought the water supply from the Bolivian government). It was incredible to see how much the protests of the native Indians against the Spanish rule in the 1500s resembled the protests of citizens of Cochambamba, Bolivia in 2000.
0.3
Let the Bullets Fly (2010) 1/5
2011-07-05 23:10

Chinese action comedies are definitely not my type of movies. And this one just proves that. Completely absurd story and ridiculous characters with their completely wacko intentions do not make a good film. Sorry.
0.3
Taare Zameen Par / Like Stars on Earth (2007) 4/5
2011-07-06 23:39

At first it's your typical Bollywood movie. Dragging on, numerous song intermissions, black/white characters and a very simplistic story. You just have to patiently wait for the first hour (when basically nothing happens) till the story unfolds. And then be prepared for a treat. Maybe it's not poignant, but it was definitely touching.
0.3
True Grit (2010) 5/5
2011-07-07 23:20

Great Wild West movie. Love, love, love the Coen brothers. Seems that every time they put their hands on a movie a masterpiece is created. And so is this time.
0.3
Sykt lykkelig / Happy, Happy (2010) 3/5
2011-07-08 23:05

OK I suppose. Nothing out of the ordinary in this Dogma styled drama/comedy.
0.3
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008) 3/5
2011-07-09 23:20

Just OK. It was too simple, too predictable, too obvious. Too black/white. Did not really manage to catch my attention.
0.3
La princesse de Montpensier / The Princess of Montpensier (2010) 3/5
2011-07-10 23:32

Just OK. Not that really engaging, if not boring at times. The story just did not have too many exciting moments, who knows, maybe because most of it was facts?
0.3
Freedom Project (Video 2006) 3.5/5
2011-07-12 20:43

Quite decent Sci-Fi mini-series (OAV) anime (7 episodes). Maybe too simplistic and too improbable, but a good watch nonetheless.
0.3
Sennentuntschi / Sennentuntschi: Curse of the Alps (2010) 4/5
2011-07-14 23:15

Decent macabresque. Kept me puzzled until the very end.
0.3
Rio (2011) 4.5/5
2011-07-15 23:10

Very good! And quite surprisingly, to be fair, as this does not come from Dreamworks/Pixar. Really engaging story, likable characters, good laughs, decent music,... I could go on... Maybe it lacks this spark that would push me to give it 5/5, but it gets really close to this score.
0.3
Insidious (2010) 0.5/5
2011-07-19 23:15

Utter crap done well over a hundred times already. Not a single good thing about it.
0.3
Ironclad (2011) 2/5
2011-07-20 23:30

Mediocre at best. Decent story accompanied with way too low budget, half-decent acting, terrible dialogs and poor CGI.
0.3
Source Code (2011) 4/5
2011-07-21 23:55

Weak script (with terrible ending) - although the main idea was just a little bit plausible - is accompanied with great acting (love Jake Gyllenhaal) and perfect execution. That combined gave a decent action flick.
0.3
Pa negre / Black Bread (2010) 4/5
2011-07-24 23:35

Difficult and a little bit disturbing movie. Believable, although not based on real events.
0.3
Noruwei no mori / Norwegian Wood (2010) 1.5/5
2011-07-25 23:38

Weird sexual relationships of weird Japanese teens. Not really enjoyable.
0.3
That's What I Am (2011) 3/5
2011-07-26 23:33

Just ok. Couple of weak points, unfortunately. First one is how can you be the "Teacher of the year" if all you do is read a book during class? That's great teaching? Not really. And second, the gay plot is not explored fully, the public opinion was not informed, it was just abruptly finished. Still, it's a good watch, just not without flaws.
0.3
Kokuhaku / Confessions (2010) 3.5/5
2011-07-28 23:32

Good, not great. Somehow something was lacking and the story was just a little bit improbable.
0.3
Super (2010) 4/5
2011-07-29 23:30

Very, very stupid, to the point of being ridiculous. Semi sympathetic protagonist, but his companion... oh my! Ellen Page was brilliant as an overreacting teenager (actually admitting to being 22). I also loved how it made fun of the superheroes genre (finding superheroes without special powers, making out between super-hero and super-girl). So despite being a complete nonsense, it was actually really really funny. Apart from some cringe-worthy moments, that is. But the making out scene blew me completely...
0.3
Submarine (2010) 3/5
2011-07-30 23:30

OK, but not that great as the hype would want it to. Somehow I could not entirely relate to the geekiness of the main character.
0.3

August, 2011

Pohwasogeuro / 71: Into the Fire (2010) 3.5/5
2011-08-02 23:15

Decent, but somewhat lacking. First the story, which was good (and based on facts), but also too glorifying and with too much martyrdom. Then the acting, just a little bit over the top, accompanied by dialogs full of pathos (although hearing North Korean communists yelling "we're here to rescue you, to have a unified Korea" was quite funny). Only the special effects were really good. So overall it was just ok.
0.3
Stake Land (2010) 4.5/5
2011-08-03 23:35

Excellent! Really, really surprising. Unknown director, totally unknown cast yet it's top-notch! And even two biggest gripes about it (the "big boss" and "of course" the 2nd girl) could be overlooked. Yes, it was that good! Loved the story, loved the main heroes.
0.3
Blitz (2011) 3.5/5
2011-08-04 23:25

Decent. Some good laughs ("do I look like I have a pencil?"), some action too, but it's same old Statham, who got just a little bit tiring. Fortunately the movie is British, so it's not complete thrash like a Hollywood movie would be (with this script).
0.3
The Conspirator (2010) 4/5
2011-08-07 23:28

Very good American history lesson by Robert Redford. Really enjoyed seeing how modern democracy standards formed.
0.3
Mniejsze zło (2009) 3/5
2011-08-08 23:30

Somewhat ok. Loved Olaf Lubaszenko as SB officer. But as is usual the case with Polish movies, it was too artificial, the dialogs were quite terrible at some moments too.
0.3
Hesher (2010) 3.5/5
2011-08-11 21:35

Decent. Funny, but ultimately too chaotic, too messy. Natalie Portman was gorgeous, but her screen-time was somehow limited.
0.3
The Beaver (2011) 4.5/5
2011-08-11 23:20

Very good psychological drama. Loved the insanity of Mel Gibson's character.
0.3
Win Win (2011) 4.5/5
2011-08-12 23:25

Excellent little suburbs story. Loved Paul Giamatti (nothing surprising here). Great characters, great story.
0.3
Scream 4 (2011) 1.5/5
2011-08-14 10:12

Quite bad... and quite predictable if you expect this "in next 5 minutes someone will be killed" and "the actual killer or killers will turn out to be the least expected person/persons", oh and this "it all will make no sense whatsoever".
0.3
Klovn: The Movie (2010) 2.5/5
2011-08-14 23:10

Quite bad to be honest. Very, very stupid. Actually more stupid than you might expect. But, unfortunately, funny too. So it's kind a mixed feeling.
0.3
Incendies (2010) 4.5/5
2011-08-15 23:36

Gripping/poignant/moving story. Could such story really took place? I don't see why, I've seen many true stories (this one's not) just as much complicated as this one. A really rewarding watch.
0.3
Exam (2009) 3/5
2011-08-16 23:08

So-so, but more ok than not ok. Little like Cube, but failed to really surprise me. This whole recruitment concept, and the virus, it all seemed too artificial and too improbable.
0.3
The Whistleblower (2010) 4/5
2011-08-18 23:20

Good, especially that it was all true. Too bad the justice wasn't served properly...
0.3
Fast Five (2011) 2.5/5
2011-08-19 23:30

Stupid, stupid, stupid up to a point of being ridiculous (good luck hauling the safe using race car(s)). I really have no idea why It has so big imdb rating. I mean it's a good watch - the action sequences are decent - but it insults my intelligence too much.
0.3
Plac Zbawiciela (2006) 4.5/5
2011-08-24 22:20

2nd time I watch this movie and while it did not have the same impact on me as it had in 2006, it is still a very powerful piece of cinema. So Polish, so true.
0.3
De helaasheid der dingen / The Misfortunates (2009) 3.5/5
2011-08-26 22:40

Good/funny indie comedy coming from BE/NL. Few good laughs.
0.3
Cud purymowy / The Miracle of Purim (TV Movie, 2000) 3.5/5
2011-08-27 21:10

Decent allegory on what is/should be really important in life (2nd time I watched it).
0.3
Mistrz / The Master (2005) 4/5
2011-08-27 23:05

Loved Konstantin Lavronenko as The Master. Very good story. Very Polish as well.
0.3
Thor (2011) 4.5/5
2011-08-29 23:05

Give Kenneth Branagh 150 mil $ and you'll get a decent fantasy/action/drama flickr. "Entertainment at its best" - this sentence says it all. But you should not mind that this movie makes little sense. Loved Natalie Portman. And Stellan Skarsgård too, although he wasn't honored with enough screen time. Oh, and I wouldn't be myself if I haven't criticized the awful post end-credits spoiler of the mandatory sequel...
0.3
X-Men: First Class (2011) 3/5
2011-08-30 23:30

Very weak position in the X-Men series. Felt like it was forced to be made. Just for the money. Oh, and some special powers were quite silly if you ask me. Sure it's good entertainment, but leaves a bitter taste in the mouth afterwards.
0.3
Les femmes du 6ème étage / Service Entrance / The Women on the 6th Floor (2010) 1.5/5
2011-08-31 23:05

Oh the French. Oh the terrible movies they sometimes make.
0.3

September, 2011

Senna (2010) 5/5
2011-09-02 21:01

Exceptional story about an amazing formula one driver - Ayrton Senna. I even had a vague recollection of his ongoing dispute with Alain Prost. And, of course, I remembered his tragic accident.
0.3
Hanna (2011) 5/5
2011-09-02 23:05

Excellent Bourne-like (definitely not Bond-like) flick with teenage female in the lead. Oh, what a treat it was! Also *loved* the hypnotic music - kind of reminded me of Nobel Son.
0.3
Water for Elephants (2011) 4/5
2011-09-04 23:05

Decent drama/romance. I liked how few of the main characters were of Polish origin and how they used Polish language from time to time, although their accent left a lot to be desired.
0.3
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) 2.5/5
2011-09-05 23:03

Very so-so. Felt forced; just for the money. Not that engaging and quite absurd momentarily. Even Johnny Depp could not save it.
0.3
Kari-gurashi no Arietti / The Borrower Arrietty (2010) 4/5
2011-09-06 23:30

It's not a brilliant masterpiece like some other Ghibli's works (especially those directed by Miyazaki), but it's still a decent, typical anime coming out of this studio.
0.3
Chocolate (2008) 1.5/5
2011-09-07 23:02

Very so-so. Or maybe even worse. Poor fighting scenes (especially those using the terrible CGI), the story left a lot to be desired as well.
0.3
Meek's Cutoff (2010) 3.5/5
2011-09-08 23:10

Very decent, even though it's very slow paced. Loved the open-ending as well.
0.3
Miyamoto Musashi: Sôken ni haseru yume / Musashi: The Dream of the Last Samurai (2009) 3/5
2011-09-09 23:05

Decent docu on Japanese history - it was a good lesson. Although I must say that the commentary was too fast and too hard to follow at some moments.
0.3
Cargo (2009) 4/5
2011-09-10 23:10

Decent Swiss take on Matrix. Sure it's full of flaws and plot holes, but since I'm a sucker for all Sci-Fi movies I had no real problems in overlooking them, focusing on what's best in there. And I surely was not disappointed.
0.3
Di Renjie / Detective Dee And The Mystery Of The Phantom Flame (2010) 3.5/5
2011-09-11 23:15

There is something about those Chinese Fantasy movies that I keep coming back to them. Sure they make their protagonists act like superheroes with supernatural powers and insight, which takes away some of the charm from them. But it's still a decent watch.
0.3
Sala samobójców / Suicide Room (2011) 4.5/5
2011-09-12 23:30

Powerful. Not without it's fair share of flaws (sometimes so-so dialogs, poor acting by some of the characters), but very good overall.
0.3
The Arbor (2010) 1.5/5
2011-09-13 23:25

Very so-so and basically boring. Just yet another tragic story about an unemployed family and its sibling living off the social welfare in England.
0.3
Idealny facet dla mojej dziewczyny / The Perfect Guy for My Girlfriend (2009) 1.5/5
2011-09-14 23:20

Very so-so. Sure there are some good gags in there, but the story is weak and some scenes just made me cringe.
0.3
The Way (2010) 4.5/5
2011-09-15 23:15

Great! Love those little semi-independent road movies. The downside is that now I really really want to walk The El Camino de Santiago, just like they did.
0.3
Space Battleship Yamato (2010) 1.5/5
2011-09-16 23:04

Very so-so. The visuals are really good, but characters, dialogs and the whole storyline... weak, very weak.
0.3
Terri (2011) 3.5/5
2011-09-18 23:10

Decent. Not great, like I was expecting it (I really love those US suburbs movies). Also the sexual subplot felt like someone has watched too much Larry Clark.
0.3
Ibara no O / King of Thorn (2009) 3.5/5
2011-09-19 23:15

Very good action, story and visuals, but ultimately way, way too confusing. I'm not even sure I understood it properly.
0.3
The Tree of Life (2011) 2.5/5
2011-09-21 17:36

Way too poetic for me. Sure, the Hubble telescope shots are awesome, but I've seen them a hundred times already. Same goes for evolution shots, although the dinosaurs were cool. Shame there was so little of them. But wasn't it supposed to be a drama not a National Geographic movie?
0.3
Kidô keisatsu patorebâ: Gekijô-ban / Patlabor: The Movie (1989) 4/5
2011-09-21 23:15

Great vintage/cult anime by the anime-master himself (Mamoru Oshii). Feeling really sad that I prolonged watching this for so many years! Was it a decade already? Sure it's full of computer-related quirks/anachronisms but the storyline is great nonetheless.
0.3
Kidô keisatsu patorebâ: The Movie 2 / Patlabor: The Movie 2 (1993) 4/5
2011-09-22 23:20

Great anime! Who knows, maybe it's even better than the first part. So vintage, yet so good. Although I must say that the political intrigue was not completely clear.
0.3
WXIII: Patlabor the Movie 3 (2002) 4.5/5
2011-09-24 12:19

Contrary to popular opinions, I've found this part to be the best of all. Really great story, even though it seemed to be taken straight out of a X-Files episode. Loved the tragic ending.
0.3
Snowtown / The Snowtown Murders (2011) 2.5/5
2011-09-24 22:40

So-so. Haven't really managed to capture my attention. The motives behind each killing were somehow not explained in full.
0.3
Flipped (2010) 3/5
2011-09-26 23:20

Too simplistic, too childish, too black/white. It's decent, but leaves a lot to be desired.
0.3
Tajja / Tazza: The High Rollers / The War of Flower (2006) 4.5/5
2011-09-28 23:15

Excellent! Quite surprisingly at that, as I did not put too much hope in this movie. Even thought that this is basically a South-Korean take on Rounders, it's done with much finesse. And it succeeds even despite a very, very slow beginning.
0.3
Potiche (2010) 1/5
2011-09-30 23:03

What a crap. I cannot believe that such a great director as François Ozon would fall so low with this movie. Sure he follows the latest fad of doing 60/70s period movies in a certain "fashion", but man this was so bad...
0.3

October, 2011

Green Lantern (2011) 2/5
2011-10-01 23:03

Oh, so terrible. Yes, there are few quite funny moments, but the overall intrigue, plot, dialogs were sub-par. But what could you expect at $200 mil but a total crap?
0.3
Attack the Block (2011) 3.5/5
2011-10-02 23:10

Decent semi-indie British Sci-Fi comedy continuing the tradition started by Shaun of the Dead.
0.3
La proie / The prey (2011) 4.5/5
2011-10-03 23:10

Excellent! Really loved the charismatic protagonist (Franck Adrien played by Albert Dupontel). And even though he had near-Superman qualities, it was still believable.
0.3
Horrible Bosses (2011) 2/5
2011-10-04 23:10

Barely good, bordering on being quite bad. Yes, there are few funny scenes here and there, there are few nice plot twists, but overall it's just too stupid.
0.3
Polytechnique (2009) 3/5
2011-10-07 23:25

Seems like someone has watched Elephant and wanted to make something similar. The turnout is something similarly boring/bordering on engaging.
0.3
À bout portant / Point Blank (2010) 4/5
2011-10-09 23:01

Very decent French crime/thriller. Really enjoyed it.
0.3
Onigamiden / Legend of the Millennium Dragon (2011) 2.5/5
2011-10-11 23:20

Only so-so. Feels like Princess Mononoke meets Avatar, only less action and more useless dialogs (characters explaining their true intentions, despite it being to their disadvantage). The whole concept was OK, just the execution was very flawed.
0.3
Der Räuber / The Robber (2010) 4/5
2011-10-12 23:25

A little bit boring and quiet, yes, but that's what the main character was really like. Not much talkative, without any friends and family, without keeping contacts with his relatives. 100% concentrated and focused on his training. A real PRO. I actually believe that half the motivation behind the bank robberies was that this was a part of his training. So I quite enjoyed it.
0.3
Californication S03 (TV Series, 2011) 3/5
2011-10-16 23:10

First season was a revelation. Second season was good. Third is barely good.
0.3
Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) 5/5
2011-10-17 22:50

Wonderful! I was literally screaming with joy while watching this. I was rooting both for Jacob as well as for Cal. Pleasant characters, intelligent dialogs and not-insulting but omnipresent humor is a winning combination.
0.3
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) 2.5/5
2011-10-18 22:45

Very so-so. Those latest super-budget superhero movies are really really lame. Only Thor was nice and only because of good humor (story was still so-so). And the 2nd part spoiler was the worst.
0.3
Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) 2/5
2011-10-19 23:05

Even worse than the first part (and worse, despite the high imdb rating). So I was very disappointed. Much too kiddie, not really engaging story, weak dialogs, just poor.
0.3
Red State (2011) 3/5
2011-10-21 23:10

Quite absurd, if you ask me, but oh well, it's Kevin Smith, so what did I expect? Quite funny, little bit engaging, although dragging on in few places too. Generally good, but without any fireworks.
0.3
Oranges and Sunshine (2010) 4.5/5
2011-10-22 22:55

Oh the injustices of the modern world. One would think that colonialism ended in the 19th century. Not so much in England. They were still practicing it up until the 1960s. And, which does not surprise me, the catholic church was in it together with the British government (with the usual enslaving/raping of young boys).
0.3
Beginners (2010) 4/5
2011-10-23 23:05

Decent family drama/romance. Quiet, engaging, little sad, other times funny, intimate.
0.3
Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2010) 3/5
2011-10-24 23:05

Decent, although a bit boring. But I must say it got me interested in the beginnings of humanity.
0.3
The Son of No One (2011) 2.5/5
2011-10-25 23:03

Decent story with a very disappointing resolution. The motivations of the person sending the letters are not really well explained (or in other words - they simply made no sense).
0.3
Le quattro volte / The Four Times (2010) 1/5
2011-10-26 22:17

Oh the poetic movies. No dialogs, little to no action, 4 very very loosely connected stories. Only the one with the young goat was barely interesting.

Wygrany / The Winner (2011) 4.5/5
2011-10-27 23:02

Excellent! There is something in dramatic stories about people being the best at something. This time it's about a young men who is/was a top classical music pianist. Really loved it.

Midnight in Paris (2011) 5/5
2011-10-30 22:58

Love, love, LOVE Woody Allen. Excellent cast with Owen Wilson in the lead, as the "simple" man that takes everything that hits him oh so lightly. Also great story about what "golden days" mean to different characters.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) 1.5/5
2011-11-01 23:10

Quite bad. It has some good moments, but the overall story and characters are terrible. It's like they can teleport anywhere and any time they want, just not when it's most needed (for whatever reason, sometimes none). Oh, and Hermione making out with Ron instead of Harry? Wtf is with that? I suppose I didn't get the memo that in this series, the main protagonist does not get the best girl.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) 3/5
2011-11-02 22:52

I have to admit that this is probably the best one in the series, but this also means that it's only a half-decent flick. Now what the fuck is that Harry Potter is literally killed, goes to heaven/purgatory, meets his mentor and comes back to Earth? Really, it would make much, much more sense to end it like Matrix. Oh, I suppose that was a spoiler. Sorry.

Margin Call (2011) 5/5
2011-11-04 23:15

Simply put - LOVED IT. It has everything *right* about what is *wrong* with the current finance world (in US especially) and has greatly shown the start of a financial crisis/collapse of 2008, effects of which are felt to this day (end of 2011) and what is even more important, it has presented us the believable look at people who were responsible for the crisis in the first place. Amazing story, exceptional cast & acting. Really really recommended.

Super 8 (2011) 4/5
2011-11-06 22:51

Decent, even though it's very naive/simplistic. And a little bit too kiddie for my taste, although I really liked the overall concept of "wanting to go home" (ET, District 9 to name a few).

Rare Exports (2010) 2.5/5
2011-11-07 23:03

So-so. Momentarily enjoyable, but nothing apart from that. And we did NOT get to see the Santa!

Una vita tranquilla / A Quiet Life (2010) 4.5/5
2011-11-08 23:01

Excellent! Quiet little story, but when the action comes, it's quick & very powerful. Love well-made mafia movies.

The Devil's Double (2011) 4/5
2011-11-09 22:57

Very good! Even more so because it was based on a life-story of the "double".

Habemus Papam / We Have a Pope (2011) 4/5
2011-11-10 23:15

The reviews are mixed about the interpretation of this movie, but I have no doubts that it was intended to be a pastiche. A caricature of the Catholic Church's leadership. Elected pope not able to stand up to the task, ridiculous cardinals playing volley-ball tournament, hiring "the best" psychoanalytic to "fix" the pope. Had really good laughs throughout the movie.

Another Earth (2011) 3.5/5
2011-11-11 22:46

Decent, although you have to turn a blind eye to lots of logical loopholes (oh there are many).

Lincz (2010) 4/5
2011-11-12 13:15

Decent, although I knew the story more-or-less from the media, so the movie wasn't really revealing to me.
