The Shaman is a mind-bending science fiction short movie, directed, written, and produced by the Austrian filmmaker Marco Kalantari. It was released in March 2015, and after that, as one can find on the author's website, it started a successful run at Film Festivals such as Tribeca (where it has been nominated as "Best Narrative Short"), Sci-Fi-London, Dragon Con 2015, Portland Film Festival, San Diego Film Festival, Toronto NXT, Viennale and more...

Movies of all kind from an artistic point of view, reviews or opinions.
Ant-Man
Unlike other Marvel Comics based productions, Ant-Man has a little substance and because it's not at all bad acted, it quite works. That's also the Screen Junkies team opinion as well. They said that Ant-Man is one of the most ridiculous superheroes, and, more than that it is played by Paul Rudd who made "Paul Rudd things" before meeting Hank Pym and becoming a superhero. They were exaggerating, of course. The movie is watchable and has also some attempts to humor, thanks especially to … [Read more...]
My Best Comedies – Updated
This is an updated list with my favorite comedies at the moment. I have thought a long on it, I have pondered a lot of factors, but generally it shows my taste, based on a great admiration for certain comedians and comedy creators. I used to dislike some actors, but those times have past. I judge a movie on how I feel watching it and what lingers after that. I am a declared fan of Will Ferrell, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Trey Parker & Matt Stone, Sacha Baron Cohen, John C. Reilly, Kristen Wiig, … [Read more...]
Zoolander
I don't know how I have delayed until now to write about this incredibly amazing comedy, a Ben Stiller product. It's not hard to imagine what could happen if you take Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell and throw them together in the fashion cauldron, with a mix of other great actors and real life celebrities. Zoolander is a 2001 release directed by Ben Stiller and written by Drake Sather, Ben Stiller, and John Hamburg. It is a comedy which made my Top 10 Comedies of all times, it was … [Read more...]
Tower Heist, an Enjoyable Comedy
Tower Heist is a sparkling comedy directed by Brett Ratner and starring a crowd of perfectly fitted comedians. It received quite a bad review from the reputable Roger Ebert in person, which deeply disappointed me. I figure that whatever other people said about him, he is completely lacking a sense of humor. He prized Eddie Murphy though, saying something like that on his pretty bad review of the movie: Murphy, in his first role since 2009, is in full Eddie Murphy mode, with comic riffs and … [Read more...]
Exam – An Indie Psychological Thriller
Exam is a 2009 released British alternative reality mystery movie, written and directed by Stuart Hazeldine. It's needless to mention that this is considered one of the great mind blowing movies of the last decade. Without spoiling it (as you already know), I'm going to say a few words of this separate reality. Why separate? It's somewhere in the future, but it could be today or ten years ago as well. Some details are revealed one by one, without being extremely useful. Not at all. It is a … [Read more...]
