Feels like a predecessor to The Prdoducers or Hogan's Heroes and is genuinely funny. Made me laugh a lot more than those above.

You cannot be a fan of pagan horror if you didn't watch The Wicker Man. Full stop!
This surreal, exuberant and also extremely funny horror movie with an exhilarating Christopher Lee (look at his costumes) is a masterpiece in just over 90 minutes. If you're a fan of Midsommar you will love this movie and also find all the inspirations that Ari Aster drew from.

Quite disturbing setup for the story, but it has some hilarious scenes throughout the movie. The dance scene for the parent's wedding anniversary is outstanding even without turning it towards Flashdance. and the Rocky impersonation, including some juice, is just great.
Lanthimos comes up with many great ideas during the movie and uses almost perfect cinematography. The camera angles he uses throughout Dogtooth often give you the feeling of a distant documentary where you just sit in the scene and…

Generally a good movie. Bruno Ganz is outstanding. I wonder who decided to put that mask on Ulrich Matthes to look like Goebbels; it's over the top. The problematic part is for me how several Wehrmacht generals are shown in this picture, definitely too positive. And about accuracy, we all don't know, we have to trust biased eye-whitnesses.

First of all: This is not really a good movie. The love story is cheesy, at least, the acting is okayish, it's not artistic at all...
As a football fan, this movie is awesome. It pushes all the right buttons. The moment when you first walked up the stairs and had a look at the opposing stand, the chitchat about how bad we are again this season and that it will never change, the emotions in the stands, the useless…

d as Venezuelas first SciFi movie, don't get trapped. There are some Terrence Malick shots in there which at first don't make sense. In the end, we're closer to Thelma and Louise than Annihilation, but yeah, I dig that movie. It's not about SciFi at all. it is about women's liberation. There's so much sexual tension between the two main actresses...
I might be wrong, and it needs a rewatch, but this is a lot better than the premise and the ridiculous special effects tell.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Fast Times is somewhat the older brother of Dazed and Confused which is 11 years it's minor. Alike it's brother-in-arms it dishes out early or first appearances to some actors and actresses who became household names afterwards, like Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Phoebe Cates and Judge Reinhold. Also, Nicolas Cage, billed under his real name and Eric Stolz have some minor roles in it.
Especially Sean Penn's role as always stoned surfer dude Jeff Spicoli in his constant fight…

Robert Altman's early opus magnum. The grandmaster of ensemble cast and interwoven stories plays it hard here. I have to it, I at some point lost track of the stories.
The music is great though if you like old fashioned country and not that new blend of it.
This movie is so vast, but still engaging.

Produced at the beginning of "Space Age", even before Gagarin was sent to space, this East German / Polish production is just cute. The special effects are, obviously, dated but the story line was very progressive in the sense of Soviet ideas during that time including characters from underdeveloped "brother" countries.
I am reviewing the English dub of the movie, which altered a lot about the movie, turning "Eastern" characters into "Westerners" and eliminating any criticism of the Hiroshima bombing. Cold War stuff...
Still, a neat little early sci-fi flick for a rainy Sunday afternoon in May.
