Love never dies.

Hats off to Martin Scorsese, once and once again. This right here shows us the real power of cinema.
Meet Max Cady, the most terrific villain role De Niro ever played simply because he successfully portrayed a crook who possesses a very complex personality of being stone-cold, violent, absolutely mer…
I'm having a hard time to give this movie more than 5 stars. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either, just an average movie. Sadly it wasn't scary at all. The only thing I loved about this movie were amazing soundtracks. Those soundtracks deserved better horror movie than this.

Would almost describe it as boring except I felt very uneasy and on edge the whole time. A humanistic portrait of a father-daughter relationship that evokes the question of what is it to be a good father.
1990
A wild and crazy love story.
"Wild at Heart" quickly becomes completely incomprehensible and mired down in David Lynch's typical quagmire of self indulgence which successfully aggravates, alienates and frustrates mainstream audie…

Enter Darkman. Sam Raimi’s trial run for the Spider-Man franchise is a whole bunch of fun. Liam Neeson plays Dr. Peyton Westlake, a super scientist who after a major run-in with the villainous Robe…

What a masterpiece! Unique, great, super interesting & very well executed horror movie. Loved it very much!
You know that expression about incest being a game for all the family? Well they don’t quite get to that stage here, but they do come pretty close! “Gregorio” (Martín Adjelmián) and wife “Mecha” (Grac…
The terrible story of two orphaned Japanese kids during the ending of WWII. Incredibly well told and totally moving, without using clichés. A must seen in the anime arena.
1961
There's something almost ethereal about this film. Set amidst the palatial splendour of a luxury hotel, a group of unnamed residents are gathered for a sophisticated weekend. There's an instant chemis…

A very tasteful movie indeed
1979
This movie is like an onion, has multiple layers. To understand it, you have to be very careful and pacient. You have to focus on movie and not doing anything else while you watch it, because if you d…
1976
Yes, it's 3 hours, but we have to forgive that it's from an era before MTV and the resulting cultural ADD. If I didn't know better, I'd think this was the inspiration for Aronofsky's Academy Award-win…
1962
Max Cady isn't a man who makes idle threats. Max Cady is fresh out of prison and down in Florida looking for someone in particular. That person is lawyer Sam Bowden, the man who Cady holds responsi…
1984
Stereotypical Sergio Leone film with endless waitings and sight crossings. One of the performances that made Robert de Niro de actor he is and an interesting way of telling a story and the evolution of America during the years of the alcohol prohibition.
1988
**The Unbearable lightness of Sex.** When the recently deceased Milan Kundera published “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” he probably knew that the book would be both loved and hated. Based on th…

Simple Simon met the Pieman playing with a knife. Said Simple Simon to the Pieman: "Will you take my life?" _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
1993
Really solid sophomore effort by Linklater. Loved his Hitchcock homage, especially.
"'One day when I was 17 and I was up late with insomnia yet again, I watched it. My belief in the human spirit was permanently altered, for better and worse. Tank Girl is amazing! It was fun!"
"Then there's the incredible Alain Goraguer music, blending elements of prog rock and funk, sometimes mesmerizing, sometimes off-putting, always otherworldly."
"I also really can't overstate how good Fonda is. From her on-screen introduction she commands your attention, but it's worth stressing the entire cast is fantastic."
"Truly haunting and one the best discoveries for me so far this year."
"I don't know if it's because I'm concussed, or grieving loved ones, or just Canadian but I can't stop crying at this movie."
"What a beautiful film, I feel so lucky to have seen it this way, and to hear Todd Haynes talk about it in person."
"It’s been a tough year for Canada. If it wasn’t crippling tariffs, it was suffering a brilliant defeat to the Dodgers at the World Series."
