Blue Velvet10
Feb 29, 2016
"Blue Velvet certainly is one amazing film! With elements of surreality, satire, and dark humor, this is an unforgettable mystery thriller that has some truly haunting and memorable moments throughout. The sequence where Frank Booth beats up and screams Jeffery while the song "In Dreams" continues to play in the background is truly terrifying. This film manages to be funny, depressing, and horrific all at the same time.

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence10
Nov 8, 2015
Full of beauty and hilarity, this is a film that certainly isn't for everybody, but I definitely enjoyed it! There are so many great comic moments, as well as a wonderful emotional side. Watch the trailer, if you don't think it looks good to you, then you probably won't enjoy it.

Boogie Nights10
Oct 8, 2015
This movie is absolutely astonishing! It manages to have plenty of humour as well as strong drama, while always being visually interesting (Paul Thomas Anderson is a genius filmmaker). I'd recommend the film to most people who can handle the explicit content and some of the tough subject matter. One of my new favorites!

A Clockwork Orange10
Oct 3, 2015
A cinema classic, one of the most intense and beautiful dramatic films of all time! at times horrific, at others darkly funny, "A Clockwork Orange" is a genius film from a genius filmmaker. Disturbing and unsettling, but always intriguing, a true marvel!

Inglourious Basterds10
Sep 29, 2015
Yes, this film is full of painful historical inaccuracies, and is one of the least historically accurate films ever made. But, this isn't really a historical war film as much as it is a revenge story, which pays tribute to **** cinema. Now, **** is never historically accurate, so there is no need for it to be. Now, this movie is absolutely epic! The film is full of long dialogue scenes, leading up to scenes of exciting brutality and violence. The lengthy dialogue is always kept interesting with comedy and tension. The climax is probably the best part of this film. Full of shocking unexpected twists and turns, very stylistic camera work and imagery, and fast paced, exciting action, it is truly a great scene. The film also contains a lot of great performances, especially the performance by Christoph Waltz, and has some great camerawork and filmmaking techniques. A masterpiece.

Taxi Driver10
Sep 28, 2015
One of the great films. Disturbing, brutal, violent, and greatly engaging. Robert De Niro delivers one of the great performances of the 1970's, and Scorsese's directing and filmmaking style is absolutely brilliant. Deserving of all the acclaim that it has received.

Gladiator7
Sep 27, 2015
While a bit overhyped and overrated, this movie does have a lot of great action sequences, a wonderful soundtrack, some good performances, and does have some genuinely powerful moments! I'd recommend "Gladiator", although it is quite flawed and overlong.

The Sixth Sense8
Sep 22, 2015
"The Sixth Sense" is a very good thriller, but it actually is a bit more of a really bleak, dramatic film. The acting, direction, music, and execution are all very, very well done, and there are some extremely powerful moments throughout the film. Especially the ending, which is hinted out throughout the film perfectly. The revealing of the final twist (don't worry, no spoilers) is all over this movie, and, in that aspect, Shyamalan pulled off the ending in such a genius way. The script is so well written, considering the twist actually does work and make a bunch of sense. While there are some flaws, like how every single word people say is whispered and is ****...slowly. At times, it works and creates good atmosphere, but, at other times, it is just kind of annoying. But, after a while, you begin to just flat out get used to it. There are some scenarios in the film that feel like they would work more in a really, really dark comedy, and, I have to admit, there are a couple of unintentionally funny moments in the film. But, don't worry, the film doesn't have too many of those moments, I mean, there's way more great moments than bad ones. Overall, "The Sixth Sense" is a great horror film that is a bit more than just a horror film. Watch it, it has a very smart script and, on a technical level, the film is very well made.

Trainspotting10
Sep 21, 2015
"Trainspotting" is a quite wonderful film. It is both darkly funny at times, and also extremely sad at others. It is visually spectacular to look at,and all of the performances are very well done, especially the performance of Scottish actor Ewen McGregor. He plays a heroin addict who tries getting off the stuff, but is eventually addicted once again. the rest of the film is just a series of events, from the horribly disturbing and sad, to the very funny and entertaining. A must see.

The Silence of the Lambs10
Sep 21, 2015
This is an intense, entertaining, and truly great film that totally deserved the Oscar for Best Picture in 1991! This movie is absolutely amazing, and is brilliant in every possible way. The dreary, moody soundtrack by Howard Shore is astonishing, and all of the performances are brilliant! Anthony Hopkins is wonderfully creepy as the cannibal Hannibal Lector, Jodie Foster is great as Clarice, and Ted Levine steals every scene he's in with his slightly melancholy, mildly humorous, and quite terrifying performance as Buffalo Bill. "The Silence of the Lambs" is a disturbing crime genre that is masterful filmmaking in every possible way.

Moonrise Kingdom9
Sep 20, 2015
Wes Anderson is a heavily stylized director and those who hate his signature style should certainly stay away. I, personally, love the signature Anderson style, and this is a wonderful film. Although it has a few flaws, it is still a very great film, and it never feels the least bit lengthy or boring. It is always interesting and entertaining. Like any Anderson film, it is full of great comedic elements and great dramatic elements. Overall, it is one of the best films I've seen from the 2010s, and it is highly recommended to any Wes Anderson fan.

Interstellar7
Sep 20, 2015
While way overlong, and a bit overrated, "Interstellar" is a pretty good film. There's strong performances, great special effects, and a lot of very powerful sequences, but it is nowhere near flawless. I'd recommend it for most moviegoers (especially big fans of science fiction), although, you'll probably be rolling your eyes at some of the cheesier elements, and will check your watch every now and then.

War Horse9
Sep 20, 2015
A great war film from Spielberg. It has great war sequences, some good acting, a heartwarming story, and it stays interesting throughout. While not as good as some of Spielberg's other works, it is an absolute masterpiece, although it is a little cheesy. But its just a movie, just try to appreciate it for what it is!

Jaws10
Sep 20, 2015
This is the movie that made me love movies. I started paying more attention to the technical aspects of filmmaking after having seen "Jaws", considering the fact that the film is full of incredible cgi-free special effects. The film should be appreciated by every moviegoer, even if they, personally, did n't necessarily like it very much. But, what's not to like? "Jaws" is an absolute classic! It has great acting, directing, special effects, writing, and so on. A definite 10!

2001: A Space Odyssey10
Sep 18, 2015
A surreal adventure through space from master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. The film is absolutely beautiful and will have any viewer guessing what the film's true meaning is.

Russian Ark10
Sep 18, 2015
A beautiful feat that has become on of the most acclaimed experimental films of all time. The film takes the viewer on a tour of Russian history through the eyes **** figure. The entire film was shot in one, long continuous take, so you should probably give the filmmakers some credit, even if you don't personally like the film.

Force Majeure10
Sep 18, 2015
A constantly engaging art house film from Sweden, a country which has brought us plenty of great films in the past, most notably the films of Ingmar Bergman ("The Seventh Seal", "Wild Strawberries"). This film is a bit funnier than you'd expect, mixing some subtle, darkly comedic moments with a lot of very dramatic stuff.

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)10
Sep 18, 2015
The latest film from Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is a dark comedy which satirizes the film industry, while also being a very great dramatic achievement as well. It is definitely one of the absolute best films of all last year, with wonderful performances from each cast member, great cinematography, and a pretty good soundtrack, as well. If you haven't seen this one yet, you're missing out!

Ida9
Sep 18, 2015
A slow, quiet dramatic film that deserved the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. The visuals are absolutely, and the black and white look suits the film perfectly. A lot of people won't like the style and say that it is really boring, but I really liked the style, personally. The really slow tone made you appreciate the beautiful cinematography even more.

There Will Be Blood10
Sep 18, 2015
A compelling and fascinating character study and a powerful look into a man's descent into madness and greed. Paul Thomas Anderson is a brilliant filmmaker, and I cannot wait to see what films he has in store for the future!
Sep 18, 2015
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly10
Sep 18, 2015
A visually spectacular powerhouse of a true story. One of the best films of the 21st century so far, although the very artistic the style isn't for a lot of tastes, people who are fine with the film's style will certainly have a great time!

World's Greatest Dad10
Sep 17, 2015
This is a sad, sad film, but it is also hilarious! It is an extremely dark and cynical comedy that will make you feel almost depressed, but laugh at the same time. It is a hard feeling to explain, but I felt it. A lot of people will feel like this isn't a comedy in any way, but it is actually really funny, although horribly dark and demented. The mainstream will certainly hate this movie because it's too unsettling and too sad, but, as of now, it is my favorite Robin Williams film. If you don't like any of the following topics in your comedy, then don't watch this one: -suicide -death of child (by strangulation) -perversion -grief ...and so on.

Election10
Sep 17, 2015
This has got to be one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. It is a very darkly comedic satire that looks into some pretty tough subjects for a high school comedy. But, "Election" isn't really just a high school comedy, it is a look at a set of character who are, mostly, pretty pathetic people, who you both despise yet feel very bad for at the same time. Alexander Payne has gone on to make a lot more well received comedy dramas including "Sideways", The Descendants", and "Nebraska". I still have yet to see these films, but after watching "election", I'm sure they'll be spectacular!

Back to the Future10

An absolute classic! It has a great plot and script, hilarious comedy, and is very well executed. If you haven't seen, then what're waiting for!? Go see it! It's one of the best movies of all time!

Raiders of the Lost Ark10
Aug 24, 2015
It is possibly the greatest action/adventure films of all time! The action scenes are intense, the lead characters, both male and female, are charming and strong, the music is iconic, and the story is engaging! Steven Spielberg is one of my favorite filmmakers, and he proves his excellence further with this awesome classic.
Aug 24, 2015
Fargo10
Aug 24, 2015
A very dark comedy that is both hilarious at times and, at others, painful! The acting and direction are extremely well-done, and is the most acclaimed film from The Coen Brothers. If you've never seen it before, then go and see it already! It is a masterpiece!

Our Daily Bread9
Aug 24, 2015
An unsettling, yet fascinating look at the meat industry. Without using interviews or narration, the film just simply shows what goes into making the foods you love. A lot of the images are very shocking, and will disturb most viewers, and the film may even turn some people into vegetarians, you never know!

Aug 24, 2015
Of course, this movie is going to make tons of money. That's what Adam Sandler movies do now. They make money. Although the movie has some neat special effects, and a few very brief funny moments, but, the movie overall is just terrible. Sandler looks tired and bored throughout the whole movie, you can visibly see that he doesn't care anymore. He doesn't care.

Clueless10
Aug 11, 2015
A fun, great comedy satire, with a lot more clever gags and genuine sweetness then in your average teen comedy! It is, surprisingly one of my favorite movies now, and I don't even like teen movies! But, this film is a clever twist on teen movies, which this movie actually makes fun of.

Sicko10
Jul 18, 2015
Michael Moore. You either hate or love him, and the works I've seen from him ("Fahrenheit 9/11", "Bowling for Columbine", and this film) make me love him! Out of the films I just mentioned, I'm happy to say that "Sicko' is my favorite. It gives the viewer a funny, yet tragic look at the horribly flawed health industry in America. People share horrific stories of their experiences with health care, and Moore also travels into 4 different countries, and shows the superiority of their own health care systems. One of the best docs out there!

Twilight Zone: The Movie8
Jun 21, 2015
This is a pretty great movie for the most part, and really underrated. Only one of the segments kept me from giving this a 9 or 10, which is the segment by Steven Spielberg. It is well-shot, and isn't HORRIBLE, but it is pretty dumb, and doesn't even try to be scary. The rest are pretty well made, especially the last two, which use great special effects!

America: Imagine a World Without Her1
Jun 17, 2015
The worst documentary I've ever seen, this film is a nasty, boring, idiotic, and unfocused propaganda film, with no idea of what it really wants to be! The film is one big mess, with no true, exact focus. I don't even know if it is anti or pro American!

Jurassic World8
Jun 17, 2015
Jurassic Park was a great film, a so is this new adventure! Now the park is actually open to the public, and is presented to the public, like an actual amusemet park! There's tons of action, and some pretty good haracters, as well as a subtle satirical and comedic element to it.
