The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …
Cromartie High School, Anime series

Wild Wild West
This is a most confusing film with Will Smith that combines old western style with a modern kind of tecnique and scenery. The contrast between these to is barely watchable, and regarding Smith’s performance, I don’t think he really fits in this kind of film.

“The Fourth Kind” movie
Good idea, very interesting form and … cheating, which discourages the viewer. Instead of shocking the movie, we deal with this really good, but unfortunately still not perfect art.

The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …
