Outstanding and spectacular, this 2010 action movie. The imdb rate shows that, it's a 6.8, which is not bad with such a distribution. I'm sure they have their own fans, but there's no Russell Crow, Robert DeNiro, Jason Statham or Clive Owen on it, these last two seeming to be specialized in "action heroes" roles. We found here Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Clay, a colonel), Zoe Saldana (Aysha), Idris Elba (Roque), Chris Evans (Jensen), Columbus Short (Pooch), Óscar Jaenada (Cougar), Jason Patric … [Read more...]

Best 20 Comedies – The List
This is my list, it's very personal and I have to confess that I have had real difficulties to make it short, not with hundreds of items even if they may be so, because I watched with very few exceptions, a lot of the movies on other lists, some of them too old, other just praised or named "comedies" I don't know why. Anyway, the following list (I may have put just a slideshow here, but I don't really like to push you to click and to click more, to finally find the first position) is a list with … [Read more...]
Romantic Drama
Yesterday, after seeing a very bad romance (a pity for Anne Hathaway, very talented and very good even in this soap), I remembered My Sassy Girl with Elisha Cuthbert and Jesse Bradford, a romantic drama which went deeper than expected. Usually these are not my kind of films, but a good movie, a real good one, touches me. Of course sometimes it depends on my moods, and I think that is happening with all of you. Our moods define our tastes, if they aren't major ones. On such a trivial subject as … [Read more...]
Happy Hunger Games!
I'm going to talk of a movie based on a horrifyingly violent book marketed to small children. I know that Hollywood's greed is as great as their penchant for presenting graphic violence, horror, and gore to the smallest and most vulnerable people who have no filters to protect themselves. It is a horror, it is morally insane. I have a feeling that this time is serious. They crossed all their limits. The movie is masterly crafted to involve even you, the modern spectator in a futuristic worse … [Read more...]
RocknRolla
This is the title of one of the good movies released in 2008, the best year of the millennium in cinema. Being a Guy Ritchie movie, maybe its place is in The Shadows, but there is all the time in the world to put him in one or two articles in that "under the stream" category. Not little was my awe that something is too fishy with Mr. Ritchie. There is a pattern in his art, something captivating and paralyzing at the same time. No doubt, he knows well to use symbols. I have seen this movie … [Read more...]
Sad stories from the last century
I wanted to write about the Latvian documentary called The Soviet Story, inspired by a magazine article I read a few weeks ago. Of course I have searched for the movie and seen it. The critical view I read, was not at all reasonable, on the contrary, speculations were made that the film could be an exaggeration of the truth. I remember having met a lot of opinions in a certain matter discussed in the documentary, and I was intrigued by the lack of data. In time, I completely forgot. It was about … [Read more...]
