The Hunger Games (2012)

Boring

[1/10 · 26 March 2012]

Too bad : I wanna rate this marshmallow 0/10. I fell asleep at the first half hour.

It's a sad day for IMDb, American cinema and humanity : all teens rated it 10/10. It's a shame. How this film gained the reputation it has is amazing.

The worst movie I've ever seen in my life.

I'm not over-exaggerating, I actually haven't seen many bad movies. And I wasn't dragged to see this, I just figured since it's a movie, it couldn't be bad : "ouille ouille" (ouch ouch in french), boring storyline. Hard to keep awake as it was so boring and predictable. It's really hard to understand how this thing can receive so many positive ratings.

Children... (2011)

Must see: poignant and thrilling crime investigation movie

[10/10 · 7 August 2011]

I have seen a lot of crime movies. This one with The Chaser and Memories of Murder is the best ever made.

Novelty in this suspenseful movie is the treatment of the relations with the media. It's a good idea from director to introduce some questions of ethics.

What a pleasure to be drawn into a story by such intelligent writing and outstanding acting. The story is told with impressive direction, plenty of details and realism to hook in most people. There's a real sense of place and time.

Can the movie be as beautiful, but at the same time be ugly. Like any dark mystery, the film simply raises questions, and gets the viewer to care about what happened to the kids.

Characters of parents, TV producer, professor, children, detectives, wives and many others, each and every one is so well casted it's hard to find anything to criticize.

The biggest pro for this feature is that they keep all the characters human by giving them a soft side. Nobody is either extremely good or bad, they just are humans making stupid choices and having to pay the price for it.

You have to see it to believe how perfect it is.
