What Films did You Watch Last Week (11/02 - 17/02) CLOSED

Hi Dark, I haven't seen any of yours this week.

Mine:


BlacKkKlansman (2018): This movie went by very quickly which is always a good sign. The story is good and so is the acting. My highlight would be Jasper Pääkkönen and my lowlight would be Topher Grace. Not that he was bad but just miscast. Now, I have to warn everyone that the final minutes involve real shocking images that you might have seen quickly on the news before and that left me… well, shocked. I did not react in a good way to those images. My rating: 8/10





The Corruptor (1999 DVD): This one was a bit more of a chore to sit through. It wasn't bad but you had to pay attention or else you get easily lost in the plot. Complex as it is, the movie still contains a fair amount of classic-moves, old-tricks and clichés but I guess that’s what make those buddy-cop movies good. Whalberg and Yun-Fat made for a cool duo. My rating: 6.5-7/10





Mood Indigo (2013 DVD): “The surreal and poetic tale of Colin, an idealistic and inventive young man, and Chloé, a young woman who seems like the physical embodiment of the eponymous Duke Ellington tune.” What a wonderful film this was! I’d even say flawless because every scene is good, great or simply amazing. It’s visually stunning and psychologically mesmerising although this experience is hard to describe; imagine a mix between Amelie (2001), Mr. Nobody (2009), Garden State (2004) and Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004 and by same director). Yep, if you’re a connoisseur of quirkiness, you get an idea. This touching love story is literally a never-ending series of mind fucks that you don’t want to end. Every image and every word is appreciable; every second counts so I really took my time to enjoy this pure gem. My rating: 9.5/10





The glimmer man (1996 DVD): Man do I love me a little throwback evening with a 90’s flick and this one is a perfect example. I remember me as a young teen, riding my bike to the video store on Tuesdays because it’s 3 for 1 and renting action flicks like this one and enjoying the eck out of them. I admit I did not remember much about this one but 3 particular scenes had stuck with me my entire life and it was a lot of fun to see through my adult eyes. Loved it then, love it now. 8/10





The Princess Bride (1987 DVD): It was my first time seeing this so I did not have that nostalgic feeling I’d get with The Neverending story but I still enjoyed it very much. I was happy to find it at the used store for 2.50$. Great family movie, if not a bit violent and my favorite character was Inigo Montoya. 7.5- 8/10
