Feeling in the form of film
for Synecdoche, New York (2008)
This is not going to be a normal review. I will not make a list. I will not make a list of all the things bad, of all the things good, and all the things mediocre in this film. I will not give it a...

Oh yes, it is bleak
for The International (2009)
The International is one bleak film. Tom Tykwer is an exceptional director, and this film proves it. The movie's greatest benefactor is it's script and Tykwer himself. First off, the script...

Michael Bay throws a decent movie our way
for The Rock (1996)
Making a good action scene isn't really all that hard. You just need some action to it, and voila. You have a good action scene. Then you just slap some cliched score ontop and edit it nicely. But...

Not very true to the source, but not horrible
for Max Payne (2008)
Whenever someone decides to set out and make a film out of a videogame, there will be two things; 1) An absurd fan outrage if the movie isn't directed by Martin Scorsese or something, and 2)...

Too lacking in action for an action film
for Escape from New York (1981)
Snake Plissken probably made more kids come in the 80s than Pamela Anderson did in the 90s. Regardless, I never saw this film depicting his mission to retrieve the president of the US out of a...

Lacks soul (and IQ)
for Deja Vu (2006)
I'll get over the plot of this movie right away: It is by far the most extraordinary amount of bullshit and techno-babble I have seen in ages. The amount of that terrible techno-babble even exceeds...

I thought my calculations were bad
for The Number 23 (2007)
This was a rather silly movie. What really ruins it is numerology, into which Number 23 obviously largely bases its beliefs on. The number 23 is no more common in our world than for example number...

A fountain of joy
for The Fountain (2006)
Andrei Tarkovsky is generally called one of the greatest movie directors of all time. Why is that? Is it because he had magnificent writing skills? Is it because he somehow managed to pick the...

Hooray for nothing!
for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
A random assortment of people try to save Jack Sparrow from... I don't know where, it was called something but it was never specified at all. Anyway, they try to save him because it's a pretty good...

A great flick if you really like this stuff
for Hostel: Part II (2007)
The first Hostel was gruesome, sickening and disgusting. Yet I enjoyed it's superb craftsmanship and surprisingly good charecters. It's pretty much the same thing here, except with more plot....
