    ★★★★½ Rewatched 23 May, 2013

    Instant re-watch. I'm so crazy. o.O

  • The Hunt 2013

    ★★★★½ Watched 03 Apr, 2013

    The Hunt is a film from the point of view of a nursery teacher who is accused of molesting some the children he has to take care of.
    Although this story has been told severals times before I cannot remember any attemp that has been executed so well.

    I don't want to spoil any of the story... so better go see yourself! This is surely one of my favs for 2013 so far.

  • The Comedy 2012

    ½ Watched 03 Apr, 2013

    It's not that I don't appreciate what Tim and Eric brought to the screen so far... but what do they want to tell us with this boring peace of nothing? Whose story are they trying to tell? Who should find him- or herself in this accumulation of meaningless fragments? It's neither funny nor dramatic. It's neither artistic nor trashy. It's neither deep nor shallow. It's a display of everything I find annoying, immature, dull, ill-bred and disgusting. It's like lighting…

  • A Good Day to Die Hard 2013

    ★½ Watched 23 Mar, 2013

    It's hard to see one of the best movie franchises going straight down the toilet. How is it possible to ruin something you almost can't ruin?
    A single guy with a gun against a bunch of bad guys - a promising concept for 4 movies and more. But this concept got lost somewhere in #5... A story? Nope! A woman to fight for? Nope! Another guy or buddy accidentally involved in action? Nope - unless you don't count John McClane in...

    Next time: Don't label a substandard B. Willis movie (of which we had plenty already) with "Die Hard...".

  • Sightseers 2012

    ★★★½ Watched 11 Mar, 2013 1

    Natural Born Killers meets the English countryside.

    A not so normal couple discovers its love for murdering innocent passer-bies on a caravan holiday. Sometimes my laughter got stuck somewhere in my throat... the rest was ridiculous and hilariously funny.

  • Amour 2012

    ★★★★½ Watched 24 Feb, 2013

    What a sad journey of a long married couple towards its end... Hard to watch because of the truth it tells.

  • Life of Pi 2012

    ★★★ Watched 24 Feb, 2013

    Boring but beautiful.

  • The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 2012

    ½ Watched 17 Feb, 2013

    I'm dying. I still can't decide if it's the great acting, the well crafted dialogues or the top notch animated baby that is killing me right now. Can't wait to see the rest...

    ..oh boy. He's undressing.
    ..20 minutes into the movie, nothing has happened so far.
    ..that baby scares the shit out of me. Who the hell did this?! And why?
    ..serious faces everywhere.
    ..awesome decapitation. Reminds me of Lego.
    ..amazons? I'm going nuts.
    ..more serious faces.
    ..and fake…

  • Here Comes the Boom 2012

    Unsurprisingly unsurprising.

  • That's My Boy 2012

    ½ Watched 17 Jan, 2013

    Why am I doing this over and over again?

  • The Brave One 2007

    ★★½ Watched 08 Jan, 2013

    What I did learn here:
    1. Never let your dog run loose in Central Park.
    2. Good Policemen don't care if you've been in a coma for three weeks. You have to help them - they need something from you. Anything.
    3. Stoner kids listen to Radiohead, R.E.M. and the Dixie Chicks.
    4. Black thugs don't like Radiohead.
    5. Stoner kids also put their names in their iPods to make it easier for the Police to find them after they…

  • The Apparition 2012

    ½ Watched 04 Jan, 2013

    Just another movie about a demonic presence accidently summoned or freed by someone which now haunts a family. Please, be a little more inventive next time.
