3D or not 3D, it remains Burton's worst film. A terribly bad misstep, I hope he redeems himself with the next "Dark Shadows." Horrible movie. more
Criticized, opposed, gossip-ed about, this film represents one of Scorsese's highest peaks in the 1980s, a very personal and brilliant vision of the life and story of Jesus, a deeply profound analysis, a film that offers plenty of food for thought. If we also consider that Defoe and Keitel perform wonderfully, and that Scorsese directs with his usual skill, that the film has very few slow moments, and that the music is by the most inspired Gabriel, well... it's simply stunning. more
Second feature film by Scorsese. A film still veryraw, but the enormous talent of Scorsese can already be sensed. The ending is traumatizing, and overall the film is excellent. A Scorsese who is warming up and preparing for his first great masterpiece (Mean Streets). The film is really well acted, the story is magnificent, truly a gem. Very beautiful. more
Excluding the trilogy of masterpieces "The Duellists," "Alien," and "Blade Runner," this beautiful road movie remains Ridley Scott's best film, superbly acted (Sarandon, Davis, Keitel make a great trio), engaging, and with an ending that is excessive and quite exaggerated, but undoubtedly very beautiful. In short, a stunning film.
Keitel's desperate (and pointless) race towards T&L's car launched into the void is magnificent; it has definitely stuck with me. more
Action blends with science fiction and results in a half masterpiece. The best Schwarzenegger of all time faces off against one of the most successful "villains" in sci-fi cinema (second only to Alien), and takes a serious beating. The film starts as a common war movie and then degenerates into pure sci-fi. The tension is skyrocketing, the peek-a-boo, the unknown and invisible enemy, the brilliant jungle setting, in short, a fantastic movie. 8 more
The most complete film by Linklater, an excellent and faithful adaptation of Dick's novel, and the best science fiction film of the 2000s. Intriguing, engaging. The technique used to portray the characters is beautiful. Reeves impressed me quite a bit (the only time), Downey Jr. is fantastic, Ryder is great (her first and only significant role in an important film for her since 2001), and the dedication written at the time of the novel by Dick to his friends who were victims of drugs is poignant. more
A particularly unique thriller, masterfully interpreted by 14-year-old Jodie Foster, fresh from her participation in the blockbuster "Taxi Driver," and an exceptional Martin Sheen, the future star of "Apocalypse Now," who brings to life a sly and sadistic character. A linear and simple story, yet it keeps you glued to the screen thanks to the skill of the two protagonists and the beauty of the music (Bach). An excellent film. more
Hugely silly film, made acceptable by the immense talent of Jim Carrey, always great as the rubber-faced comedian (although I much prefer him as a dramatic actor). more
The usual silly and foolish comedy, the usual Carrey keeping the show afloat. But the following year, The Truman Show will arrive, and it will be a whole different Carrey. more
The film by the mediocre Shadyac that I prefer. Carrey is in great form in the first part, which makes me laugh a lot, with a charming Freeman in the role of God. However, I find the second part unbearable. Nonetheless, it's a good comedy. more
One of the best absurdist films I've ever seen. An idiot movie to the core, stupid gags, Campbell is an idiot, the story is idiotic, everything is wonderfully, comically idiotic. Burlesquely fantastic. more
So trashy that it’s actually funny and enjoyable, grotesque and gory, as well as quite amusing. One of Sam's latest strokes of genius, but the first one remains on another level. more
Nice, it would have been a great conclusion. Still inferior to the first 2. more
One of the most famous and best-selling comics in Italy, a true media, cultural, and commercial phenomenon in the '90s, D.D., created by Tiziano Sclavi, remains one of the best Italian comics of the era regarding the first 100-121 issues (the first 10 years, basically), as it serves as an ideal link between commercial comics and author comics (if Dog is from 1986, just the year before "Watchmen" was released, for instance). In the decade from '86 to '96, there are quite a few truly excellent stories. Then came the decline. more

I'm not a big fan of action movies (which I usually keep at a healthy distance), nor of Bruce Willis, but Die Hard is really good. Well-directed, it entertains and engages at the same time; it's an objectively very good product. And then there's Alan Rickman, whom I personally adore, and here he delivers a fantastic performance. In short, one of the best films in the genre. 8 more
Worse than this in the saga is only the 6 in my opinion. A disconnected, confusing, bland film. Truly forgettable. more
