I haven't seen much Antonioni, but I remember that when I first saw "La Notte" I realised that this should be boring, but it wasn't. This was the first time I got that great direction is not just about being flashy and showy but about doing the simple things right; putting the camera where it serves the scene best,…

I still have her poster on my bedroom wall next to Kylie Minogues (yes, I am still single)…

I am divided on Chappie in that I kind of adore the parts with Chappie and Die Antwoord bevause it was so bonkers while I cannot remember a single thing about the rest. Was Sigourney Weaver in this? I think she was, but she was in the generic, forgettable part…

I believe that Marvel as it stands now will never make a truly great superhero film (they have perfected making pretty good ones at best) but I also believe/hope that DC may make one by accident while they fumble around trying to find their mojo.

Looks very generic; it would probably be easier to stomach without everybody speaking broken English, though as I see English is one of two official languages in Uganda this may be accurate. Still baffled by everybody agreeing that "Lupita is a great actress"; she was totally fine in "12 years a slave", but she never…

Just bought a Dirty Harry box and have watched the first two; The first one is pretty fantastic, while the second one made me postpone watching the rest…

There are just so many of them by now that it gets too ridiculous and the movies gets longer and longer to give each character their requisite moments. The first half hour and the last half hour is pretty strong, but the middle made me zone out a bit. It was interesting how both this movie and BvS has the bodycounts…

I think that in the last 15 years Korean cinema has been the most consistent purveyor of thematically deep and often political genre movies that is just a little bit too twisted to really hit big in the west; I think the Oscars have gotten better at nominating foreign language pictures recently, but that South Korea…

The original didn't FEEL that saccharine as it was in french, and I can't speak french. Also the black guy whose name I am to lazy and tired to check was a pretty good and sympathetic actor. This has Kevin Hart.

I am cautiously optimistic about this; Coppola is good at creating a mood, but her last films have left me cold. Hope she'll at least complete this one…

That is the only version I have seen, and it may be my favorite Superhero movie ever (alongside Batman Returns).

They are (re?)releasing the comics in the UK one by one every couple of months (I've read the first ten); they are mostly compelling and look great (and Laureline is pretty easy on the eyes).

She's basically made for photographic modelling as she can look stunning from one angle and mildly retarded from another. The "Paper Towns" trailer is basically a two minute hot/not game…

When I watched the first Divergent movie the story made me kind of hate him as I still cared a little, but the last two were so terrible that I have started identifying with his character in his disdain of everything and everyone in that stupid world.

I read some christian critics who pointed out that Eddie Mannix is very much a Christ-like figure and this plays very much like the last days of human-Jesus (the last temptation of Eddie Mannix?); he goes through a crisis of faith, is tempted by the devil (Lockheed) and even has a pensive moment at Golgotha, but ends…

It is self perpetuating in a way, and I agree that it would be best to cast actors and actresses of the proper race to improve representation (I kind of hated the latest Star Wars movie and I thought John Boyega was borderline bad, but I left the theater with a young black couple who were beaming and happy, and it was…

If the movie is expensive to make it is a risk to consider, but a smaller movie mainly made for the US market should probably cast appropriately to avoid a backlash. It would probably be less of a problem if the actress was Japanese American, but she would have to have made a name for herself elsewhere first. This is…

I can see why they cast Scarlett:
1) She is a name actress who has starred in successful action movies before, so less of a risk. (This is obvious)
2) I can't really think of an asian or asian american actress with close to the same name recognition worldwide.
3) China and Japan have a complicated relationship. Casting a…

I won two national newspaper Oscar competitions in a row in Norway in the late nineties, but I would have no chance now with all the relentless coverage and specialized Oscar bloggers. (For those who are curious; I won a lot of VHS-tapes, I remember geting "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "The Full Monty")

It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
