Face to Face (1976)

Very interesting, very well acted, and powerful.

[8/10 · 23 May 2006]

This is a very good film. You better watch it after you have seen some of th other Bergman movie, because its one of his more complicated movies.

A psychiatrist suffers from something she cant understand. We will join her in her search for redemption. On the way will see complicated relationships, dreams with a deep meaning, and metaphoric visions. Very powerful moments in this movie. Those who love Bergman are sure to enjoy this, this is one of the best of his 70s/80s movies.

Except the interesting storyline there's also good acting form all the players and an amazing acting from Liv Ullmann. Her fans will surely enjoy this.

Sweet Smell of Success (1957)

A great film!

[9/10 · 2 May 2006]

This film is really great, and ill tell you why.

The acting in this film was very good by anybody. worth mentioning Burt Luncaster and Tony Curtis which both gave two of the greatest performances ever seen.

The plot is great, it is an earlier film of the genre of films like The Player, L.A. Confidential, and Glegary Glen Ross.

Amazing dialogs, each sentence in this movie is smart, sharp and accurate. Very quotable and sometime sounds like poetry, only with cynicism and sarcasm.

This film also contains Amazing shots of New-york which really gives you the feeling of the city and the situations.

Zu Warriors (2001)

spare yourself and don't watch this

[5/10 · 25 March 2006]

This movie is really bad, trust me and don't waste your time or money on this, it not good even to just pass time because it takes a large amount of brain cells to remember all the ridicules plot.

I very like the far-east cinema, i like Ang Lee, Takashi Miike, Takashi Kitano, Wong Kar-Wai, Kim Ki-Duk, etc., but this movie was just plain bad.

Bad acting, ridicules plot, and a substantial amount of cheap effects.

The plot of the movie is taking place in a fiction place called Zu mountain, which is like the Olympus but its for Japanese gods, one of the gods live on this mountain wants to kill all the others and take control over the world (aint it sound like power rangers or something like that), few of the gods resist and fighting him, and that is about what you can say about the plot all the rest is just cheap philosophy which doesn't make sense.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Ain't disappointing if you don't expect for much

[7/10 · 4 January 2006]

First thing i want to say is that this is the best of the Harry potter movies yet, so if you like the ones before you should see it.

I'm ain't a big fan of Harry potter and didn't liked any of movies but didn't dislike any of them. The film have a good act (much, much better than the acting in the ones before), it has a great special effects, few flaws in movie making (unsychronizised sound and such).

I think this film is not bad at all but as i said i don't really like potter movies. Anyway the film is loyal to the book (he doesn't add or change things) but he does not contain a lot of side story's from the book.

The bottom line is: if you like the potter series than you should see it and you will surely enjoy it, if you didn't like the series than there still is a chance that you will like it but it isn't that big.

Half Past Dead (2002)

amazingly awful

[3/10 · 18 July 2005]

i think that this is the second worst film i ever seen just listen to the way it begins: Steven Seagal and some black guy drive in a car (by the way Seagal doesn't look at the road he is looking at the black man sitting next to him all the drive long) than after about a minute of driving Seagal stop the car suddenly for no particular reason the black guy is pushed out of the car and crashed in the car that parking in front of them (god knows what she did there) than they both goes to jail and Steven Seagal only with legs kick all the cops in the jail and take control over it.

guys tell me it isn't sounds like piece of crap but you better see it so when they ask you what is the 3 worst things you ever saw at least one of them (that one) will be really bad.

i really don't understand why this crap isn't in the bottom 100 it should be there.

i still compare who's badder this one or "to the sun" which is another Seagal film (which by the way containing a scene which Steven Seagal actually SINGS!!!(guys trust me you don't want to see Steven Seagal sings it isn't a pleasant thing it comes with a lot of pain for the ears and a lot of suffer to the mind).

i've seen "half past dead" on T.V. usually i would stop few minuets after the beginning (i described the beginning you know what i mean when i say it sucks) but on this one i wanted to stay and watch (for the reason i mentioned above with the 3 worst films you ever saw) and i wasn't disappointed. i was expecting for some piece of crap but such a damn XXX (sorry cant say the word (they wont let me post the comment) movie, i got to say it was worth it, you don't see one of these every day.

Birdy (1984)

One of my top 10 of all time

[10/10 · 15 April 2005]

Best Alan parker film. two great players play as two great friends in this movie about friendship. a must see movie for anyone who like Alan parker(Midnight express) films. i don't understand why most of the people give this movie 8 i gave it 10. a most beautiful extraordinary film. most recommended to people who liked Midnight express or the wall. a masterpiece with directing of Alan parker and starring by Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage. one of the two stars first films. a great 80's movie. one of three masterpieces of Alan parker (midnight express, Birdy and the wall). this is really pity that this amazing movie gets only 7.2 when it should be with the top 250.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Thats the best movie ever

[10/10 · 15 April 2005]

This is my favorite movie. Kubrick done that one in 1964. he was nominated for four Oscars on best picture, best player, best director, and best screenplay. that year the winner for best picture was my fair lady, but my opinion is that this movie should have won. that movie created a all new genre of black comedies. it is the best black comedy,best comedy, and has i said in my opinion best film ever. it is a must see movie. contains great directing great acting and few of the most unforgettable scenes ever. this movie has been directed by Stanly Kubrick (2001: a space odyssey) and played by peter sellers (bieng there).
