Shall We Dance?: A rather light and entertaining movie with romance and comedy but a little bit of sadness also. Richard Gere is really starting to look his age, but apparently his aging is charming (ask female audien... Read more!	petech

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World: There are quite a few things in this production, which differ from the regular 'Hollywood pattern'. First of all, the movie starts with a huge BANG, but then transforms into a deep drama foc... Read more!	l4553

Ocean's Twelve: Nicely made swindle story, that leaves a nice taste... No big emotions involved, just light entertainment, all the way through, with a big shot cast (note a "guest" appearance;)... Read more!	petech

Dawn of the Dead: Unlike the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake of a horror classic, this 1 is all kwality, and dare I say, maybe even better than the original. Romero is the shiz, but this remake is sooooo goo... Read more!	mojo

The Manchurian Candidate: A paranoid flick, with a few twist in the plot. Everything is not explained in this one. There are references about a dream the lead character has had, and in parts, the atmosphere of the movie seems ... Read more!	petech

Blueberry: If you are looking for a western, in the classic meaning of the world, then absolutely do NOT pick this one. I made that mistake, and wasn't even able to finnish this one at the first time. Read more!	l4553

Shall We Dance?: A light movie with no big surprises, but very enjoyable. Richard Gere is as gorgeous as ever despite his aging ;) and looks very good dancing with Jennifer Lopez who can't act but there were no g... Read more!	cannylass

Thelma & Louise: Susan Sarandon And Geena Davis in a role to remember! This is by now a classic movie about two girl friends that are oppressed by men in way or another. Part a road movie, part a crime story but in a ... Read more!	petech

Sin City: Based on comic book stories by Frank Miller, Sin City is brutal and sadistic, but not nauseating because of comic book type of cinematography. There are no colors, excluding few details and characters... Read more!	petech

RoboCop: A great scifi flick from the eighties, Robocop is ultra-violent and dark depiction of future world run by big corporations and filled with crime. Important movie with a message. Unfortuna... Read more!	petech

Dumb & Dumber: The dumbest and funniest movie of the 1990's. So dumb that you can't but laugh. Requires right mood for watching this one, but I guarantee you won't leave cold after this.... Read more!	petech

Poirot: Death on the Nile: The story follows Agatha Christies original novel quite accurately, and the acting work seems quite stiff, but I guess that is the nature of this kind of genre. One thing I imagined differently from t... Read more!	petech

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Parts of the movie are taken straight from the book, but there are quite a few added parts, which feel a bit unnecessary additions to the original story. I have read the book a few times, and cannot g... Read more!	petech

Reservoir Dogs: Quentin Tarantinos first feature film, that gives the taste of what's coming! Surprising and full of "exploitative" violence, the film avoids cliches although it has a resemblance of vi... Read more!	petech

Meng long guojiang: Way of the dragon is one of the famous kung fu movies by Bruce Lee and was actually directed and written by Lee himself. Even though the movie was brought to western markets, the dialog was originally... Read more!	petech

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: I liked the easygoingess of this movie, obviously targeted to the whole family for viewing. The themes of the story are from Christianity, but that doesn't prohibit other than Christians for enjo... Read more!	petech

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: The biggest fault of this movie is that it fails to create a credible illusion of the fantasy world Narnia. All you see is a bunch of pine trees, and a mixed variety of talking animals like beavers o... Read more!	L4553

Miami Vice: Very stylish movie, with atmosphere reminding the eighties series, but of course with updated music and all. The plot isn't so much as the feel of it all. One of the most striking de... Read more!	petech

Jadesoturi: This movie was made with a co-operation between Finnish and Chinese filmmakers, and it mixes elements from the old Finnish national mythology Kalevala and from the Chinese tradition of Kungfu warriors... Read more!	petech

Flags of Our Fathers: This one was quite different from what I expected. I haven't read the book this is based on, but I suspected this to be overly patriotic film for Americans, but it wasn't. The main theme was... Read more!	petech

Casino Royale: Although Casino Royale introduces a new Bond actor, the greatest change is the atmosphere of the movie. It is much darker, moodier and emotional than before. I would say that this one will be taken mo... Read more!	petech

Miami Vice: This movie is a fucking disgrace and gives the good TV series a bad name. Simply painful to watch and all I did was waited it to finally be over. The movie has a strange shaky camera work... Read more!	L4553

The Astronaut's Wife: A movie about an astronaut's wife who thinks something strange happened to her husband while he was in space... Actually the plot seems a prolonged version of a typical Twilight Zone episode. All... Read more!	petech

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a strange movie. It is a modern day fairy tail that reminds me of the style of the Grimm brothers fairy tales. The similarities include the harsh destinies of the ... Read more!	petech

Sunshine: Whoever is responsible for producing this film, he should take the original copies and stuff them where the sun don't shine. As I was watching the first parts of the movie, I was won... Read more!	L4553
