    This one is a must to watch in 3D! I doubt it will shine just as bright in standard version.

    This is a rare gem that happen from time to time. Highly recommended.

  • District 9 2009

    ★★★★ Added

    For a long time I didn't want to see this one because it gave me a wrong impression of what it actually was. Maybe that was a good thing in the end when I finally did watch it. It caught me by surprise.

  • The Grey 2011

    ★★★ Watched 06 Aug, 2012

    A part of me really like this movie, beautiful cinematography, engaging story that's really exiting at times and interesting characters to mention some. Yet another part of me really hated it because of the unlikeliness of things. I find the attention to details, especially surrounding the credibility of the story to be poor and it really annoyed me, small things that means so much.

    Despite all this I will still recommend it.

  • The Tree of Life 2011

    ★★★½ Watched 29 Jan, 2012

    Fantastic cinematography, music, storytelling, acting and more. In many ways it also reminds me about 2001: A Space Odyssey. It does seems however that if to get the most out of this one, you have to be Christian or at least in some ways religious. I imagine if I were, that I would maybe have given it full pot or close to it. Still, I would recommend you to watch it even if you're not.

  • Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2011

    Most of the times, sequels are bad. This is not the case here, I might actually go as far as calling it better, or at least on pair with the original. Yet at the same time, it wont be fair as they are not really even in the same category.

  • The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2008

    ★★★★★ Watched 09 Jan, 2012

    There is just something peculiar about watching a life story in the normal way of aging, and then the backwards way from old to young at the same time. Even more since they share their life together, crossing in the middle.

    A quite enjoyable movie with a somewhat completely normal story, set in a totally unique setting, filled with humor, romance, personal insight, lovable characters, mystery, drama and more, keeping me curious from start to finish.

    Did I ever tell you I was struck by lightning seven times?

    One of the best movies of this year. Period.

  • Hanna 2011

    ★★★½ Added

    Despite some sloppy logical errors here an there that can sometimes be really annoying, the movie overall was entertaining. Keeps you wondering wanting to know more, assuming you know very little about the movie up front. If you do, my gut tells me it wont be as interesting.

    Never wanted to watch this movie, but people kept telling me it was so good! Next time i'll listen to my own gut feeling as this is one of the worst movies i've seen in a long time.

  • The Fountain 2006

    ★★★★★ Added

    I think I am looking at it a bit different than how the movie is described. The way I look at it is as one and the same story, just from three different angles. His angle (future - when he sleep/dreams), her angle (conquistador - when she writes her diary/book), and their shared angle (now time). I even find the movie a lot more interesting watching this way. The movie goes a bit too much over the top at the…

  • Million Dollar Baby 2004

    ★★★★★ Watched 07 Jan, 2012

    Jumping into this one without knowing anything about it, expecting a somewhat standardized boxing movie. Coming out at the other end overwhelmed with emotions so powerful… A must see, that personally hit me far too close to probably ever be able to watch again.
