First, I'm giving 6/10 for the 6 penguins in the film :)
Totally inconsistent script. Nothing makes sense (from an adult's POV) and brings out too many questions as previously mentioned by another reviewer. While the movie might be seen by (mostly) kids, somewhere down the line, the script still has to make sense. It didn't. Acting performances were horrible, except for the penguins :)
OK, I'm biased, I adore penguins. Can you tell?- ^_^

Big Hero 6 review
Posted : 9 years, 11 months ago on 26 February 2015 03:56 (A review of Big Hero 6)It's just plain adorable. You want one... This movie has just the right amount of adorableness for kids and adults. Quite entertaining.

Leviathan review
Posted : 9 years, 11 months ago on 26 February 2015 03:56 (A review of Leviathan)If anyone had told me by watching this I'd be (somewhat) reliving the years I spent living (or surviving) in Russia, I wouldn't have given it a second look. Went through the entire thing, it depicts the way "things" go there and how they are resolved... Sadly realistic.

Citizenfour review
Posted : 9 years, 11 months ago on 26 February 2015 03:55 (A review of Citizenfour)Nothing remotely interesting about the way the story's told. The camera work, particularly at the beginning, was terribly amateurish. If you can make it through that, the story is interesting and actually sort of scary when you think about it.

Nightcrawler review
Posted : 9 years, 11 months ago on 26 February 2015 03:54 (A review of Nightcrawler)Could have been called Nightcreeper. Totally dislikable character played by Gyllenhaal, but what an awesome performance. His character is extremely well-written. Not a fan of Gyllenhaal, but if there's one movie to watch him in, I'd say this is it.

Still Alice (2014) review
Posted : 9 years, 12 months ago on 3 February 2015 01:16 (A review of Still Alice (2014))actors performing have a much too calm reaction to this dramatic event IMO (director's choice obviously). still not a bad movie, however it's a little too melodramatic for me. and much too slow.

The Gambler review
Posted : 9 years, 12 months ago on 3 February 2015 01:15 (A review of The Gambler)This talks the talk, but is darn too talkative (much too much talk), and its main character is not clearly defined. Definitely not the film I expected, nor the performances Mark Wahlberg is known for.

Two Days, One Night review
Posted : 9 years, 12 months ago on 3 February 2015 01:14 (A review of Two Days, One Night)Nothing new to be learned here, but there's something very humane in the performances, both acting and directing.

Kill the Messenger review
Posted : 9 years, 12 months ago on 3 February 2015 01:13 (A review of Kill the Messenger)The first hour is great and exciting, looked like it was on a good roll, unfortunately it starts going downhill, however it is still an enjoyable action-thriller film with decent (and good-looking) actors ;)

Stonehearst Asylum review
Posted : 9 years, 12 months ago on 3 February 2015 01:12 (A review of Stonehearst Asylum)Quite surprised at the excellent outcome of this film: cinematography, directing and acting performances. Particularly the twist, which we weren't expecting. Still not perfect :) but definitely an enjoyable movie amid the recent lesser-known productions.
