What makes romance such an exciting genre is the fact that everyone understands it. Even if you present the specifics in very different styles, it hardly matters if the classic, or to say the least the essential, components are present. We Live in Time, which was presented at the Toronto International Film Festival, knows its […]
In some cases, it has happened to you that you feel you already know a person well enough, and then you proceed to inwardly curse that person for having thought so. “How did I ever think that this is someone who is worth giving one’s respect?” Or viceversa – they were all right; what was
Things have not always been as simple as they seem with Faithless (or Trolösa)´s history. The screenplay was written long before the life of Ingmar Bergman, a genius director by everyone’s standards. He is not the one who made that film out; that guess belongs to his former lover and film partner, Liv Ullman, who
Fans of the Transformers, it is time to celebrate! At last, our dreams have come true. It’s been a long, exasperating history of not only six live-action films that were mid to downright awful, plus the 1986 animated movie and it’s about time Hasbro and Paramount Release something that makes sense that isn’t the movies.
Colin Farrell’s case for an Emmy is quite a stretch – he rather needs even more shelves. The Penguin limited series film being made by HBO is no one’s second impression, the second return of Farrell as Oswald Cobb is limitless in itself. Widely unrecognizable because of the amount of heavies and make-up, Farrell leads
I have always been intrigued by Roger Ebert’s disappointment with voters and his review of the resoundingly unfavored film by Paul Schrader’s Domininion: Prequel to The Exorcist (Hackett imposed an inferior Tom Cruise – starring The Exorcist: The Beginning to appeal for wider audiences). It is rather bizarre to observe someone of such a praised
Beetlejuice again resumed the satanic sense of humor, bloody miracles, and so to say, breathtaking special effects of the cult movie. To be fair, the sequel doesn’t measure up to 1988’s standards because people miss the union of the cast nature and the wow-nee plot, which most likely isn’t realistic. The new supporting characters are

An aggressive Juliette Lewis becomes the prey in the compelling period thriller where Peter Dinklage, the main actor does not hold back from the first bloody image of the film. As with most of our massive novels placements are based on legendary novels, and with the The Thicket no such sympathy whatsoever is assigned to
Out Come the Wolves takes the age-old narrative of man versus nature and sets it in a heart pounding and bloody battle for self-preservation that is very illogical. The innocent enough plot features a reporter, his fiancé, and her best friend going on a relaxing retreat into the woods for the weekend to do some

People love to hate some characters. For instance, take Amon Göth from Schindler’s list or for that Cal Hockley in Titanic. Others are not so much hated, as they are just so unbearable that one’s animosity towards them makes one’s experience of the movie spoiled, and the list include but is hardly exhausted with Jar
