Movie Infos Title: Stephen King’s It Year: 1990 Director: Tommy Lee Wallace That film is a shame. The filmmakers tried to adapt the best book ever written, and man, did they failed miserably! There’s absolutely no way you can love this movie. If you read the book, you’ll be frustrated that it was turned into such an inane piece of garbage. If you haven’t read…

M. Night Shyamalan is probably the most hated brilliant filmmaker in Hollywood right now. I think this has to do not so much with his films, which are hardly dismissible even if they’re not one’s cup of tea, but with his perceived arrogance. I mean, I get it, it’s kind of obnoxious to hear a guy compare himself to all-time greats like Hitchcock, as Shyamalan…
Movie Infos Title: Cidade de Deus Year: 2003 Director: Fernando Meirelles Oh boy. Now this is something else! Those who called Gangs of New York last year’s best film in spite of all its flaws are bound to back-pedal when they see “Cidade De Deus”, a new Brazilian film every bit the sprawling, ruthless depiction of gang warfare that Martin Scorsese tried but failed to…
No matter what people say, this is definitively one of Jim Carrey’s best films. He stars as, you guessed it, a cable installer. He really takes his job seriously, TV being the quintessential thing in his life deprived of friends. That is until he meets Steven (Matthew Broderick), a successful young man who moved into a bachelor pad after his girlfriend refuses his marriage proposal….
2010 Les Sept jours du talion77 [ review ] 2010 10 1/2 (2010, Daniel Grou – Podz)56 [ Podz’ first feature, “Les Sept jours du talion”, was not perfect, but its qualities strongly outweighed its flaws. Now, in “10 1/2”, there is still quite a bit to admire, but I feel like this time the negatives slightly overcome the positives. The big problem is Claude…

Mike Myers stars in this totally groovy comedy, which he has also co-written. Following the traces of his idol Peter Sellers, Myers delivers a double performance as both the hero and the villain of the film. He’s Austin Danger Powers, a hip photographer who moonlights as an British secret agent. But mostly, he’s a swinging fella who loves to shag and party. Myers sure was…
