• 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...

• Iblard jikan (2007) (V) 0.5/5

  2008-10-06 00:00

  

  Not really a movie...

  0.3

• Keinohrhasen (2007) 4/5

  2008-10-04 19:18

  

  Good, funny, entertaining. Maybe just a little too long.

  0.3

• The Happening (2008) 3/5

  2008-10-04 00:39

  

  Just ok. Completely unbelievable idea, though.

  0.3

• 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

• September, 2008

• 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.

  0.3

• "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

• Fauteuils d'orchestre (2006) 2.5/5

  2008-09-27 20:25

  

  Bearable, although I still ask the same question: why do French people in French movies have to be so miserable for so insignificant reasons?

  0.3

• In the Shadow of the Moon (2007) 4.5/5

  2008-09-26 00:28

  

  Sometimes just the truth is better than Science-Fiction.

  0.3

• Leatherheads (2008) 5/5

  2008-09-24 23:43

  

  Here's some damn well told football history for you kids out there. That's how it was back in the day. And great it was! Oh, so great and so fun! I was literally bursting with tears so many, many times.

  0.3

• The Promotion (2008) 3.5/5

  2008-09-24 21:35

  

  Funny. Enjoyable too.

  0.3

• Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) 3/5

  2008-09-23 22:49

  

  Just ok. Two or three laughs and that's basically it.

  0.3

• The Visitor (2007/I) 4.5/5

  2008-09-22 23:14

  

  Precious little gem...

  0.3

• The Great Debaters (2007) 4/5

  2008-09-21 21:23

  

  Great story well told.

  0.3

• Musta jää (2007) 4/5

  2008-09-19 00:58

  

  Very good depiction of a love triangle. Just perhaps a little bit too drastic in the end.

  0.3

• Moscow Chill (2007) 3/5

  2008-09-18 00:38

  

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

  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...

  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

• Redbelt (2008) 5/5

  2008-09-14 01:13

  

  David Mamet in full form taking on martial arts. Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, to be exact. And what a fight it was!

  0.3

• Sword of the Stranger (2007) 5/5

  2008-09-13 00:50

  

  Definitely one of the best Samurai anime out there.

  0.3

• Hell Ride (2008) 3.5/5

  2008-09-12 00:32

  

  Funny. Shares much more than just actors from Quentin Tarantino.

  0.3

• 10 Items or Less (2006) 1/5

  2008-09-11 00:16

  

  Completely boring...

  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

• Gin-iro no kami no Agito (2006) 1.5/5

  2008-09-06 00:36

  

  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

• Married Life (2007) 1/5

  2008-09-03 23:56

  

  Superficial and ultimately boring.

  0.3

• Toki o kakeru shôjo (2006) 3.5/5

  2008-09-01 00:58

  

  Classic anime tear-jerker for girls. Quite engaging, surprisingly.

  0.3

• August, 2008

• Tekon kinkurîto (2006) 4/5

  2008-08-31 00:42

  

  Stunningly beautiful. Drawing is just perfect. Engaging story, albeit a little bit dark and abstract. Good watch.

  0.3

• The Hammer (2007) 5/5

  2008-08-28 00:31

  

  I laughed till I cried. And then I laughed again... Simply put: awesome!

  0.3

• The Kite Runner (2007) 4.5/5

  2008-08-27 00:10

  

  Great story.

  0.3

• Perfect Blue (1998) 3.5/5

  2008-08-26 00:11

  

  Complicated. Intriguing. Very much in line with David Lynch's style.

  0.3

• The Life Before Her Eyes (2007) 4/5

  2008-08-25 00:07

  

  Quite decent actually, despite being more or less a chick-flick.

  0.3

• Jin-Rô (1998) 4.5/5

  2008-08-23 00:14

  

  Very good albeit a little bit complicated. Although ain't all Mamoru Oshii's stories like that? Terrific ending (despite being depressing a little bit).

  0.3

• Felon (2008) 5/5

  2008-08-21 23:52

  

  Omfg... Very, very powerful. Reminded me much of American History X.

  0.3

• Son of Rambow (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-08-21 00:18

  

  Good. For a kids movie, that is.

  0.3

• Young People Fucking (2007) 3/5

  2008-08-19 23:37

  

  Just ok. Few good laughs but overally a little bit exaggerated situations.

  0.3

• Paprika (2006) 4/5

  2008-08-16 21:04

  

  Mix The Matrix, The Cell and Spirited Away and you have... Paprika!

  0.3

• Byôsoku 5 senchimêtoru (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-08-15 23:04

  

  Nostalgic and somewhat sad anime. Gorgeous drawings/animation.

  0.3

• Miehen työ (2007) 3/5

  2008-08-15 00:42

  

  Harsh and brutal. Very, very depressing.

  0.3

• Smart People (2008) 4.5/5

  2008-08-12 00:49

  

  Simply put: awesome talk & acting. Ellen Page was brilliant. With every role she seems to be better and better, even though every one of her characters share same traits.

  0.3

• I'm Not There. (2007) 2/5

  2008-08-10 00:40

  

  Complicated and ultimately boring. I suppouse I'm too old young for this movie. Not to mention that it's not exactly my type of music...

  0.3

• Rambo (2008) 4/5

  2008-08-09 00:07

  

  Surprisingly good. When you don't count the cheesy scenes, that is. The name's John, John Rambo.

  0.3

• Doomsday (2008) 3.5/5

  2008-08-05 00:37

  

  Surprisingly good action flick. But only just that.

  0.3

• Cassandra's Dream (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-08-03 20:31

  

  Once you've crossed the line there's no going back. A little bit different than your average Woody Allen's movie.

  0.3

• Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) 1/5

  2008-08-02 00:37

  

  Not even one funny moment! That's just tragic...

  0.3

• Once (2006) 4/5

  2008-08-01 00:13

  

  Good. But. I'm not sure what to think of it. Definitely not your classic love story.

  0.3

• July, 2008

• Sukkar banat (2007) 3/5

  2008-07-30 00:36

  

  Idyllic Beirut. Heavenly Beirut. Beirut through the pink glasses. Slow, but eventually it got moving. Abruptly ended, though.

  0.3

• The Nines (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-07-29 00:47

  

  Life as a role playing game // interesting concept borrowing lots from Matrix.

  0.3

• Misma luna, La (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-07-28 00:54

  

  Good, although Trade was better.

  0.3

• Definitely, Maybe (2008) 2.5/5

  2008-07-26 22:00

  

  Uhm, so-so. Just a bit better than your average hollywood romantic comedy.

  0.3

• O' Horten (2007) 4.5/5

  2008-07-24 00:51

  

  Wonderfully absurd.

  0.3

• Tatt av kvinnen (2007) 2/5

  2008-07-23 00:02

  

  Just didn't click with me...

  0.3

• Kunsten at græde i kor (2006) 4/5

  2008-07-20 22:52

  

  Dysfunctional family? In more ways you could think of...

  0.3

• Amants criminels, Les (1999) 2.5/5

  2008-07-20 15:40

  

  One seriously fucked up story. But it's French, so it's ok...

  0.3

• Charlie Wilson's War (2007) 5/5

  2008-07-20 00:22

  

  Wow... Very much like Syriana.

  0.3

• Âge des ténèbres, L' (2007) 5/5

  2008-07-17 00:37

  

  Fucking brilliant! Denys Arcand has been my hero for a long time now and even though this is not the best out of the trilogy it still is simply fucking brilliant!

  0.3

• 21 (2008) 3.5/5

  2008-07-16 00:31

  

  Too complicated math, too simple script and poor ending with a great last scene. How does that sound?

  0.3

• Jjakpae (2006) 1.5/5

  2008-07-12 00:02

  

  Just plainly bad.

  0.3

• Jumper (2008) 4/5

  2008-07-11 00:41

  

  Surprise, surprise! A 5.9 imdb rated movie turned out to be actually really good (for an action flick, that is).

  0.3

• Chaos Theory (2007) 3/5

  2008-07-10 00:44

  

  Just your average romantic comedy. Had its moments, but overally average.

  0.3

• Vantage Point (2008) 3.5/5

  2008-07-08 23:34

  

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

  0.3

• Bill (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-07-07 01:15

  

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

  0.3

• Omaret yakobean (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

• 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

• 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 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

• 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

• June, 2008

• Mýrin (2006) 4.5/5

  2008-06-18 01:20

  

  Powerful story.

  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

• Charlie Bartlett (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-06-14 21:46

  

  Decent. Kind of quirky and not that much original, still quite enjoyable.

  0.3

• Cloverfield (2008) 4.5/5

  2008-06-14 00:55

  

  Captivating. I loved the indie feel.

  0.3

• Grace Is Gone (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-06-13 23:08

  

  Good story. Not much else to say...

  0.3

• Waz (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-06-12 00:54

  

  Very dark, very brutal.

  0.3

  2008-06-11 00:38

  

  Oh so stupid, oh so good...

  0.3

• The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) 3.5/5

  2008-06-09 01:19

  

  Adultery and treason in the court of England. Interesting.

  0.3

• Flawless (2007) 5/5

  2008-06-08 00:39

  

  Brilliant, clever, outstanding, ultimately engaging.

  2008-06-07 01:11

  

  Warm, uplifting.

  0.3

• An American Crime (2007) 4.5/5

  2008-06-05 01:18

  

  Omfg... Very disturbing.

  0.3

• Rocket Science (2007) 5/5

  2008-06-04 00:44

  

  The ultimate geek movie. The ultimate anti-romantic comedy. The...

  0.3

• Diary of the Dead (2007) 3/5

  2008-06-02 01:12

  

  Watchable. This is as typical zombie movie as it gets.

  0.3

• May, 2008

• Flakes (2007) 3/5

  2008-05-31 20:31

  

  B indie comedy. So-so.

  0.3

• Cleaner (2007) 4.5/5

  2008-05-31 00:53

  

  Very well played. Intruiging, engaging, highly enjoyable.

  0.3

• Margot at the Wedding (2007) 3.5/5

  2008-05-29 00:53

  

  Infinite degrees of separation indeed. Seriously f*d up family, seriously f*d up movie.
