French cinema with all of its weirdness. Just ok. The mountain part was great though.
0.3

2006-03-02 21:03

Boring and pointless.
0.3
Dnevnoy dozor (2006) 4/5

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?

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

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

German 9 Songs. With a story. Without sex.

Road movie in the wild wild west.
0.3

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

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the... 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

0.3
Promeneur du champ de Mars, Le (2005) 3.5/5
