Push (2009, PG-13)
This one was absolutely gorgeous. I never thought Dakota will make such great pair with Chris Evans. They played so great that you may think they played in lots of movies together before this one. I loved Dakota for her playing, but now I adore her, and she's only 15. Soon, some Oscar prices will shine in her cabinet, that is certain. ^_^ |

Crank (2006, R)
Ok. So, Crank. I thought of this movie to be an excellent action flick, with great turn-ups and maybe a more plausible story. But, as usual, I got disappointed. Why? Well, some of the scenes were a bit pushed, some of them pathetic and (for the users that already saw this movie) one special scene went straight to lame. What? I loved that scence, but for Jason Statham was THE lamest, and Amy made it even more lame than already was. :) |

American Psycho (2000, R)
Christian Bale plays the role of an ordinary serial killer, a cruel, cold-blooded murderer looking for wealth supremacy. The movie was excellent with a great presentation of characters, with a soft and cool action, completed with an excellent ending. |

Must Love Dogs (2005, PG-13)
Even if it was a John Cusack movie, the movie was more like average and with an action that went very VERY slow. It was full of cinematic clichees, the ones that you see in this kind of romantic movies, a simple story improved only by the acting of that great couple: John Cusack and Dianel Lane. The thing that made me to give 4 stars was that unique and unexpected end. I know, it was simple, but I found it truly fascinating. :) |

Goal II: Living the Dream (2007, PG-13)
Ok. So, this one was way better than the first movie, but just like in the way the previous one was made, they kinda let the viewer to expect anything that came next. |

The Punisher (2004, R)
You know, I had great expectations from this movie. I'm a BIG comic book fan and obviously a Marvel fan too. Also, I simply love this character since I saw him in the Spider-Man animated series, and I was curious to see a movie with The Punisher as protagonist. But, as usually something missed... |

Two Can Play That Game (2001, R)
I really enjoyed this movie, it was full of facts and also full practic advises. Someone who considers himself a begginer at the relationship thing or would simply want to discover some things about female mentality, then this movie is just perfect for him. |

The Thing (1982, R) |

Casablanca (1943, Unrated)
Maybe the best Romantic movies of all time. If at the beggining you found this beautiful flick absolutely average, then with Isla's sudden appearance things start to go pretty tense, and you'll see that the real reason for which Casablanca is so praiseworthy is because of that excellent last 10 minutes when everything takes an unexpected turn. If you allow me, whole movie counts on that end that brings with it sorrow, a bit of mystery, and that gorgeous love for which you are willing to renounce at everything. |

Psycho (1960, R)
If you ask me, Psycho appeared to be much of a thriller than horror, how it's described. The thing that made him to be thought as a horror was that beautiful sound, that very famous 60s sound, which brings you a frightful feeling even if in movie maybe the character is only driving a car. I found that pretty cool, and it was nice as well, cuz I stood there waiting for sth to happen, but it didn't afterall. |

The Secret Life of Bees (2008, PG-13)
The Secret Life of Bees brings a cute and a sad story as well, in which a 14 year old girl, haunted by the memory of her passed mother, and living under the same roof with her cruel father, decides to go to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. |

The English Patient (1996, R)
Wow. This was absolutelly wonderful. This movie presents a mix of four intriguing stories, genuin combined, made to reveal a beautiful and still impossible love story for which had to be made lots of sacrifices. It was a touching story, a unique one, that thrilled every viewer and made him to feel the movie to its very end. Yes I know, it was long, but not long enough to even think of getting bored. This beautiful flick kept me there, waiting to discover more and more about that amazing love. |

Finding Neverland (2004, PG)
A very touching story, inspired from the true story of James M. Barrie, the one that made possible the Peter Pan myth. It has high-class cast, a distinguished one, without which the movie could have remained just an ordinary Peter Pan flick. Even if they weren't involved in an On-Screen relationship, Kate and Johnny excellently fitted in that wonderful mystery world, surpassing any obstacle in being together, even if this one represented Emma or even Mary Barrie. |

The Usual Suspects (1995, R)
Call me whatever you want but I kinda anticipated the fact that Kayser Soze was or Dean Keaton or Verbal Kint. It was kinda obvious, cuz at this movies you must think the unthinkable, if you know what I mean. This is what is making them so special. |

From Hell (2001, R)
A cute movie with a very spicy plot which didn't centered only upon Jack the Ripper's murders, and also to the background story of those ones, even they were true or simply feigned. It had a good playing, Johnny played as he knows best, but his character didn't had too much to offer to show Depp's cinemtic talent. |

Pride and Prejudice (2005, PG)
An outstanding movie, with a great playing and excellent turn-ups. Even though the book was recommended to me from school, now I feel sorry that I didn't choose this novel for my reading. It has a fabulous story and some unique love stories. Definitely recommended! And if you think about it, then I will tell you: Pride and Prejudice it's NOT a chick flick! Enjoy ^_^ |

Hounddog (2008, R)
Wow. Yeah, Wow. I haven't used this word next to a movie for a long time and I guess now it's the time. This movie was Absolutely Wonderful. Starting from the playing of that fabulous little girl Dakota Fanning right to that highly disputed story. |

Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001, R)
There you go, we prooved that there could be simple movies as well which have great a catch to the public and in the end they are vindicated as masterpieces. From my point of view, I have only good thoughts about this one and even it's a simple french movie, it has some little details that are making it an amazing flick. Maybe the best non english I ever seen. |

Cast Away (2000, PG-13) |
|

Disturbia (2007, PG-13)
Disturbia tends a bit more to Crime and Horror than Thriller how it's described. As when it comes to Mystery, this movie is full with tense scenes and some parts of it are simply keeping you on the edge of your seat. |

American History X (1998, R)
In American History X is presented a great story of life completed by an outstanding performance made by Edward Norton. The other characters played their roles as expected even if not all the names over there were famous. But in the end they did nothing more than to shape Ed's character to be more catchy to the public and spectacular in the same time. Absolute fabulous movie and a powerful story too. |

The Matrix Reloaded (2003, R)
With a less attractive story than the first one, with an improvement of spectacular and unique fighting scenes, the second movie of the franchise succeeds to impress me! Firstly is the disappointment of a poor and weary background story, and second it gives the pleasure of a perfect action movie, as it should have been entirely. |

The Magus (1968, R)
A big piece of crap. I'm Terribly disappointed of this movie. It didn't followed the story of the book at all and they actually thought that is gonna be better to actually change the novel. Wtf?!? Who gave you that right? I know something, if you really want to make a remake of a book, then you MUST follow its story. A little advice for the fans of the book. If you enjoyed the novel, then remaine with that opinion. Don't see the movie. IT WAS A MESS! |

Prison Break: The Final Break (2009, Unrated)
God, I will miss this guys sooo badly. I was so attached, and still am, by those TV Series that I can't believe that they're finished. At some time I started to categorize them as average because they simply overreacted with all that seasons, but I finally realise that they did so only to make that glorious end. Everything in this TV Series/Movie was so good thought that I still am astonished by it. I recommend this TV Series to all true movie lovers. They'll love it! |

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 - The Dream Master (1988, R)
Hmm. You all know that I'm a huge NoES fan but this movie left me with a bad impression. They messed up the movie only where was the most interesting: at the beggining and at the end of it. I mean, Freddy's revival was sooo pathetic that I wished for the movie to improve, and that very fast. And it did. I was enjoying every scene of it until the end came and left me speechless, and speechless I mean in a bad way. Don't want to spoil the end of the movie but, in a single word, it was simply gross. |
