This is a documentary about steroids in America. There is a very personal story about the filmmaker Christopher Bell, not only his own story but that of his brothers and his parents. They all talk to the camera very candidly, often saying things that they wouldn’t want anybody to know (yeah, it’s contradictory).
However Bell also [...]

This film was shot like a documentary, so it looks very authentic and not like a fictional story at all. We follow Alejandro, a penniless young boy working/living in a chop shop. He might be poor, but he has more enthusiasm than many rich kids.
His sister Isamar is also struggling to make ends meet, but [...]

This is a little family drama/comedy that interested me for Ellen Page’s role (from Juno fame) while my wife enjoyed the Sarah Jessica Parker role.
This is a family that’s trying to cope with life after the mother’s death. The husband is a very sad and not very kind professor, who’s also a little snobbish. That [...]

This is a very special movie. Director Heneke wants to make a point about the movie industry and the role violence plays in the audience’s mind. The way he makes his point is by giving us what we want in terms of violence, but subverting conventions and showing us that maybe we have been brainwashed [...]

This is probably what you’d call an arthouse film. There isn’t much of a plot, though there is a little mystery that’s revealed half-way through. But apart from that nothing really happens in this movie.
But the point of the movie is all in the style it is presented and the state of mind of the [...]

This may be my favorite movie of the year so far. This is a great British film about a couple of assassins that takes place in Bruges, Belgium.
The strong point of this movie is the writing. The dialogs between Ray (Colin Farrel) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) are great, they are vulgar but always funny. Ray [...]

If you’ve read my reviews for a while, you know that Ang Lee is a personal favorite of mine. Not only are his movies great and diverse, he’s also from Taiwan.
That being said, I was a little less enthusiastic about watching this movie after reading so many critics not liking this. The running time was [...]

This is the type of horror movie that I like. A moody horror with great characters, an interesting plot and no gore at all.
The plot is nothing original, it’s the typical ghost story. But what makes this great is the great performance of Belen Rueda as Laura, a desperate mother who lost her son Simon. [...]

Everyone will compare this DVD to Animatrix. The concept is similar, a series of short stories animated by famous Anime production companies, direct to DVD to bridge the gap between two successful movies.
The difference here is that Batman is a very well known character, and there have been many stories about him. So there isn’t [...]

This is not an easy film to watch, the subject matter is something everybody tries to avoid talking about. That’s caring for old people.
Jon and Wendy are very close with their father, but now that he’s sick they have to take care of him. They go through the long process of first flying to see [...]
