    The Age of Shadows (2016) Japanese agents close in as members of the Korean resistance plan an attack in 1920's Seoul. After the very disappointing The Last Stand, Jee-woon Kim is back to his old form with another great South Korean film in his career. It's very intense and bloody and it has...

    The Great Wall (2016) While the action sequences are very entertaining and impressive (both visuals and camera work) with very fun strategies to fight the monsters, the characters are very under developed, there isn't much to say about them. We know that Matt Damon is looking for black powder...

    Logan (2017) Badass. The best Wolverine moment in any X-Men before was the cage scene in the original film, it scared me a lot as a kid, but now I could feel that and much more. I did not expect this film to be this violent, it was really cool. Best marvel film since spiderman 2. 7/10 Death...

    Sing (2016) It's like american idol with animals. It was funny at first to see the animals singing pop songs, but there isn't really much more in this film. 5/10 Macabre (2009) Indonesian Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's very violent and the atmosphere is very scary but it got a bit boring...

    Shin Godzilla (2016) It looks mordern, but it keeps the style and the charm of the previous gojira films. It was written and directed by the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion so I was expecting a good film. In fact, one of the songs from that tv show was used here. Thanks to the evolution of...

    The Tree of Life (2011) - 2nd viewing This film had such mind-blowing images and some of the prettiest I've ever seen in film. Just like previous Malick films that I watched recently, this one also improved a lot in a 2nd viewing. The New World experience is still unmatached though as I liked...

    The Thin Red Line (1998) - 2nd viewing Didn't click on me the same way The New World did, but it's still a great film. They are very similar in style, but The New World creates a more intimate experience as we follow the stories of just 3 main characters while in The Thin Red Line we follow...

    Review The Shaw Brothers studios -- but not Kung Fu

    I've always linked Shaw Brothers to kung-fu films as well, these films look very pretty. I liked to read this thread and I've decided that I'm going to watch your recommendations, now that I've completed Jarmusch.

    Himeanole (2016) I don't even know what to say about this film. It's both creepy and cringeworthy and overall it was such an unpleasant watch. I might be more lucky with other films from this director. 4/10

    Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger (Feb 21, 1992 to Feb 12, 1993) I picked this up just for curiosity and I'm actually having a lot of fun watching it. Basically this is the original power rangers, but the american version only used footage from the action sequeces; everything else is different. Somehow...

    Down by Law (1986) Good script and fun characters. 7/10 Philomena (2013) Mom's recommendation. It was okay. 6/10 Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) So awesome!!!! It's visually stunning and it has great music. Loved the main characters and their love story. This is my favourite film from...

    Fun Watching Movies with my Wife

    This is a cool topic. I keep thinking that it would be pretty cool to have a gf/wife who enjoys the same things as me, like movies and videogames, but I've never found anyone like that. :emoji_cry: Well the best story that I have is watching Love Exposure with my ex. She didn't care about asian...

    Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) Obviously some sketches were funnier than others, but overall it's good stuff, I liked the concept. 7/10 Broken Flowers (2005) Wonderful film, loved Murray's character. It was easy to feel all the awkwardness. 8/10 The Limits of Control (2009) I also liked the...
