Gone Girl is unfortunately far from being one of the best movies directed by David Fincher. Despite its very good rate on imdb, 8.3 with pushed this mediocre movie to an undeserved 128 place in Top 250 of Best Movies of all times, it is not a good movie. I know it's a matter of tastes, but let's put it near other psychological thrillers directed by Fincher, like Fight Club, or Zodiac. As a matter of fact I have never been mad over his movies, I consider him "dark", too dark for my taste. I have … [Read more...]

American Sniper
American Sniper is a the last Clint Eastwood movie, nominated for no less than 6 Oscars. It is a war movie, a biography of "the most lethal sniper of US Army's history". You remember the 2009 Oscar award for Best Film, Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, isn't it? Iraq, war, bombs, danger, warrior's psychical condition, etc? It was neutral, and it won because of that, even if Avatar was much better and much entertaining. I felt it hadn't "message", you know? It wasn't a positive thing, it was too … [Read more...]
Oscars Nominations 2015
I'm not doing like last year, when I published innumerable posts on nominees and awards, Golden Globe, SAG, Independent Films, etc. Just the Golden Globes and the Oscars, just to be more practical, especially that I don't want to comment too much, since I haven't watched yet all the movies. Anyway, among the actors, I have to salute a few new names nominated this year for the Oscars. Unfortunately, no Leo this year. I have a feeling that next year he will won the Best Actor for sure, with one … [Read more...]

Top 100 StarMeter 2014
Here are the 100 stars who consistently ranked the highest on the IMDb weekly STARmeter chart throughout 2014. IMDb STARmeter rankings are based on the actual page views of IMDb’s more than 200 million unique monthly visitors. I want to publish this because I did it every year, and I think last year I put a wrong list, just because I haven't waited the official Top 100 to be published. My last year Top was the imdb STARmeter on January 3'rd. The surprise this year is that Top 10 is exclusively … [Read more...]
2015 Golden Globe Awards
Here is the full list of nominees and winners! No comments from me, this is how I've taken it from the press. I have to mention that the ceremony has been brilliantly presented the third time in a row, by the same comical and hilarious former SNL ladies, Tina Fey and Amy Pohler, good friends in real life too. No video this year, I mean, you have to look for the video on your own. George Clooney has been there yesterday night, with his human rights lawyer wife, and received in person the Cecil B. … [Read more...]
