Sam Rockwell delivers an almost solo performance terrifically in a film that is more than simple science fiction. The wide use of models not only gives a sense of realism to the film, but also a tribute to the 70s and 80s of space cinema, from Space Odyssey to The Clangers, in almost a swan song of a forgotten genre, of a forgotten idea, that films are art, and about more than beautiful people, latest trends and shallow values.

Alphaville – Jean-Luc Goddard (1965)
Jean-Luc Goddard is arguably France’s most famous director; he was involved in a movement called the French new wave, a rebellion against the conventions of standard filmmaking. Alphaville, or Tarzan Vs IBM (its working title), is no exception. I found it very hard to follow and I spent most of the films duration trying to make sense of the actions. This is not necessarily a criticism, just because I was not in control of the situation as a viewer, it’s not to say that I didn’t …

In a future not so far away, an online game has become a way of life for millions of people around the globe. “Society” gives you the power to control other people. You can live a life through them by giving computer commands. They say and do whatever you want them to. You just need enough money to “buy” such people. Sounds crazy? Then check the newest game – “Slayers”. Just imagine Counter Strike but with real people. Based on the same principle as “Society” you play in front …

An uninspired journalist with many personal and professional problems is looking for a new sensational story that is going to put his career back on track. As often happens in life, the next story is right around the corner. You just have to look around and find it!
The Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) thinks he’s hit the jackpot when he meets Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx) – a homeless, mentally ill person who claims he is a former student of The Juilliard School of Arts. There …

The Friday 13th has always been an amusing franchise which never ceases to shock with all the creative ways to kill people. It’s the type of film you can stick on, shut out the lights, and sink into the sofa cushions; all the time feeling totally safe that no matter how stupid you are, you would never go upstairs, you would always be able to outrun someone walking slower than a crawling baby, and most importantly, would never visit Camp Crystal Lake.
So how would you feel if all those comforts …

Gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, pride, and lust. Seven deadly sins we are all guilty of to some extent, and after watching this film, making you quite glad you are nowhere near the sadistic killer from this epic David Fincher masterpiece. Se7en is a film which follows two detectives (Pitt and Freeman) on their hunt to bring a psychotic serial killer, who tortures and murders, to justice.
This is a film you must own. No two words about it. The twists and turns will keep you gripped in suspense throughout the …

It’s often the case that films so often hyped-up beyond belief fall drastically short upon viewing but I can tell you now that The Wrestler does not fall into this category.
It would be easy for the film to drift into the sports movie stereotype of burnt-out one-time champ meets aging stripper, who then proceed to get their lives on track and end up happily ever after just like the countless other films we’ve all seen before, and perhaps with other actors and a different director it would have. The film …

“Notorious” is about the life of rapper Christopher Wallace a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G.

Get Smart is a comedy based on the 1965 hit US series of the same name. The film follows Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell), a top analyst of the US Secret Service turned spy, and Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) as they’re sent on a mission together after all the other agents identities are compromised.
Get smart is an amusing film with some very well known actors and actresses. Most of the laughs are centred around Carell, so it’s lucky he is on the screen a lot. Anne Hathaway is …
