MEAN and MASSIVE

Ken Loach’s new film, Looking for Eric, has it all: it makes you laugh, it makes you jump in your chair in surprise, hold your breathe in anxiety – it’s a romantic comedy, it’s drama, it’s dramedy, it’s action. And it does everything very well, with that sense of reality only British films can have [...]

I was interested watching the trailer after watching this Wim Wenders’ film. I saw it a few days ago in the cinematheque, Wim Wenders himself came to say hi. The movie starts quite good, besides the fact that the image of the body of Capino (the main character, I don’t even remember his name now) [...]

From the director of The Place Promised In Our Early Days, this one is an earlier film. It is split into two short films, but it is one story. The animation is impressionist, so moody and delicate. The story told is interesting and I never felt like I was watching a film: I was right [...]

A funny film about too many accidents that happen to an unemployed actor and his writer/director neighbor. Hint: only good can come out of it. If you stick to the end. And why wouldn’t you? This is a well written film, with that cool Irish accent, gloomy old flat and some blood. And many, many [...]

From the outside this seems like an immigrant romantic story of love and despair. But actually this is the story of a man that feels he’s not right in place, that he’s not man enough, that he’s a loser. And one night this changes. The hope love gives, this is what it’s all about. I [...]

This Anime tells the story of three friends and a lost world. A beautiful story, beautiful characters and complex situations. it’s not so much a sci-fi story, although the skeleton of the story indeed is. It’s more philosophical, about dreams and their ability to connect with the ‘real’, but then again, maybe dreams are not [...]

Ip Man, the master of Bruce Lee, helps the Chinese defeat the Japanese. OK, that bomb on Hiroshima had a part, too.

Tigers, strippers, and no memory whatsoever. Could be done better, though.

Peter Jackson+Neill Blomkamp are awesome, and Sharlto Copley is the new generation Robert De Niro.

Original moments that are lost in too many side plots – in Shrink with Kevin Spacey.

Ideal is the best TV series ever created. More real than life itself, even with its new surreal directions.

Too many uses of the same scriptwriting device, and again John Malkovich saves the day.
