I've been waiting for almost 13 years for this movie. According to my parents, "Jurassic Park" is the first picture I've ever watched in my life. It's thanks to "Jurassic Park" that I want to study and work on the cinema business. For several years I've heard rumours about a "Jurassic Park 4", but it never got life. Until, in the end of 2014, I watched the trailer of "Jurassic World" for the first time. I thought: "This better not be like 'Jurassic Park 3.'". As it turns out, it wasn't. "Jurassic World" did what the previous "The Lost World" and "Jurassic Park 3" didn't. The movie does not bring previous characters, only new ones. Finally, they won't be put on the same situation, on the same island again. Although some flops from acting, several plot holes, this is still a good time-watching.

The first time I watched Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", I was 4. I admit that I hated it completely. Couldn't sleep for weeks, and I promised myself that I would never watch an anime ever again. I fulfilled that promise for 11 years, until my friends convinced me to watch the movie again. It was a complete different experience. With careful drawings and a marvelous screenplay, Miyazaki teaches us all kinds of social lessons. A movie that should not be ignored. Never.

What I can say? "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" already was my favorite book of the "Harry Potter" franchise, but this might just turned into my favorite movie ever. This is how you adapt a novel. Steve Klove's screenplay with Alfonso Cuarón's carefully and delicate directing brings us not only a good movie to watch, not only on a sunday afternoon, but at any time.

Should I even write a review about "Twilight"? If I should, it will be only to low the score of the movie a little bit. Stephanie Mayer's novel is almost as killing as it's adaptation, but the movie takes it to a whole different level. Horrible casting, awful screenplay, ghastly directing and a terrible production. Just saying...

I must admit that I was never interested on watching "The Lord of the Rings" franchise, but when I decided to watch it, my conception about fantasy revolutionized. Marvelous screenplay. Extremely faithful to Professor Tolkien's novel. Peter Jackson took risks on adapting the trilogy to the big screen, but surely we can affirm: the risk was worth it.

Stanley Kubrick's most controversial picture, "A Clockwork Orange" is more then pure sex on the screen. Kubrick's marvelous screenplay shows to the audience several critics about nowadays society. Sexism, corruption, ignorance and anarchism.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

What happens with "the Godfather" happens with "The Shawshank Redemption". Must watch it before and you die and it's impossible that you'll hate this one. Morgan Freeman brings to the audience possibly the best performance of his career. With Roger Deakins' cinematography and Thomas Newman's score, this might be the best prison-drama inthe history of cinema. Absolutely remarkable.

Woody Allen shows us a movie about art in the most glorious way of art. Paying tribute to all several kinds of writers and painters of the middle 20's, Allen's screenplay is the second best of his career, losing for "Annie Hall". Owen Wilson's performance was also a surprise, well know for cheap romantic comedies. "Midnight in Paris" also is a romantic comedy, but this time, Wilson drowned deeply into the character. This picture might remind me of "The Grand Budapest Hotel". Beautiful, short, precise, homogeneous and brings us all the magic from novels and paintings from all different kinds all artists. Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso and Cole Porter, just to name a few.

This movie might not be the best one directed by Steven Spielberg, but surely should not be forgotten, or ignored. Like any other Spielberg feature, "War Horse" brings to the audience ground-breaking visuals, with an astonishing cinematography and several tributes to all kinds of movies, like Stanley Kubrick's "Paths of Glory". Spielberg drowns the audience into the terror and fear of WWI. Rick Carger's production design was worth an Academy Award nomination. One again, the Spielberg-John Williams team does it again. William's score might be the best one of his entire career. Saturated, with no exaggerations.

Peter, what happened? The director took one of Professor Tolkien's best novel, and turned it apart in three movies. Even that, he could've archived something great with this movie, but it didn't happened. Still, it's a Middle-Earth movie, and should not be ignored. You might be unsatisfied with the final result, as I was, but you should go to the movie theater and judge it by yourself.

I only went to the movie theater to watch "Guardians of the Galaxy" because of the MARVEL logo. This movie proved me this: never judge by the trailer. Director James Gunn took a non very well known MARVEL comic book series and turned it into one of the best comic book adaptations ever. It has extremely well worked and intense actions sequences and the comedy dominates the movie, always with great references. This is one of those adaptations, even if you don't enjoy super-hero movies or sci-fi, but it's worth the time of a Saturday night.

Although Martin Scorsese's madness, he never loses his carefully and unstoppable directing vision. "The Wolf of Wall Street" just proves the fact, and gives us more. It's not exaggerated, the comedy and drama work perfectly well on this one, DiCaprio and Hill gave their best on this one, superb screenplay, yes it has, and Scorsese has not yet lost his touch.

This movie revolutionized my childhood. Probably the first movie I have ever watched, "Jurassic Park" still has the magic that I felt when I was a kid. AFI did well classifying this movie as one of the best thrillers ever made in america cinema. Director Steven Spielberg carefully worked with the emotions of the characters, making it a non-dolt thriller, as, unfortunately, most of them are made this way today. It has the quantity of visual effects that was supposed to have, it has a saturated story, no kinds of exaggeration, in no way possible. "Jurassic Park" is, and forever will be, a reference to the future of cinema.

It's on kind of those movies that you must watch before and you die, and you're prohibited to hate it. A forever-classic, "The Godfather" has all the elements **** movie. Astonishing cinematography (excellent choice on choosing Gordon Willis by the way), carefully directing, superb acting by the entire cast and a marvelous screenplay. Find this movie as soon as you can, and watch it, and again, and again, and again and again. This one is worth of your time.

Why? Just why. Hugh Jackman forever will be the best Wolverine ever, but something is completely wrong with this picture. Extremely unfaithful to the comics, by creating atrocities as the "Deadpool". Yes, Deadpool in quotes, because that's not a Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds was not even a convincing Wade Wilson. It has awful cinematography, overrated screenplay and exaggeration on CGI. This could never have happened. Worst super-hero thematic movie ever

This movie had everything to turn into a modern classic. All the elements were there. A good thematic, a good director, a great cast, astonishing cinematography and a very good production. But something went wrong, unfortunately. Still, it's a good movie, Robert Duvall deserved his Golden Globe nod, but it's a movie that you don't need to watch it twice. It has a good writing, but it's very monotonous. The emotions are well polished, but the facts take too long to get explored.

This is what I was thirsty to watch on the big screen. James Cameron was right when he said that "Gravity" is the best space-thematic movie ever. Director Alfonso Cuarón brings us a striking story, with Sandra Bullock as the main character. This might be the next "Avatar", in terms of production, cinematography, production design, visual effects, sound effects and score. Everything in this movie is revolutionary. Trully, Cuarón might just have revolutionized the way of shooting a movie with huge amount of CGI. That guy deserves my respect.

Who else to direct a emotional romantic thriller better then David Fincher? Gillian Flynn also made an exceptional work on adapting her own novel to the big screen. Fincher torned Ben Affleck, a undistinguished actor, into a promising actor for future rows. Rosamund Pike gave her best, worth an Academy Award nomination, and victory. The story is salty, exciting, ground breaking and vicious.

For "Interstellar", Christopher Nolan had inspiration on Stanley Kubrick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey", and gat's it just okay. A human story about science, relationships and love. Nolan mix all these three ingredients and gets "Interstellar". It's beautiful, superb and extremely realistic. All those years of research about gravity, worm holes and black holes were worth it. The second time you watch this movie, it will be better then the first one. Enjoy the ride.
