 The film is a slow alternation of well-crafted and engaging scenes that, however, are not supported by an adequate screenplay.

 Ned Kelly is still an enjoyable and fascinating film.

Gregor Jordan's Ned Kelly portrays the legendary Australian outlaw with a stellar cast including Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom. The film offers engaging scenes and impressive landscapes but struggles with a slow start and a weak screenplay. Naomi Watts and Geoffrey Rush deliver underwhelming performances, while the soundtrack by Klaus Badelt stands out. Despite its flaws, the film remains enjoyable, especially due to its epic final sequence. Watch Ned Kelly to experience a visually rich Australian outlaw saga with a memorable soundtrack and epic conclusion.

 The director partly succeeds in creating thrilling scenes with a good amount of suspense, even without the acting support of the cast.

 A film not recommended for its attempt to cater to teenagers looking for a horror night with romantic big words as a backdrop.

The 2008 Prom Night remake directed by Nelson McCormick attempts suspense over gore but is weighed down by poor acting, especially from Brittany Snow, and a childish script. Though it has some well-executed suspense scenes, the film suffers from lack of character development and uninspired storytelling. The villain is especially poorly written, making the film hard to recommend even to casual horror fans. Overall, it fails to deliver a compelling or engaging horror experience. Read the full review before watching this Prom Night remake and choose better horror thrillers!

 "Alpha Dog unintentionally describes a social problem in the United States and particularly in California, namely gangs dedicated to drug dealing even just for fun."

 "The film is enjoyable even in its underlying grandiloquence and ends up striking the viewer with the same force as a blow to the head."

Alpha Dog recounts the real-life kidnapping and murder of Nicholas Markowitz, highlighting the reckless lifestyle of youth drug gangs in California. Director Nick Cassavetes uses a semi-documentary style to expose the cold, careless decisions of young characters wrapped in a decadent social environment. Strong performances, especially by Hemile Hirsch and Sharon Stone, bring emotional weight to this intense crime drama. The film critiques social decay marked by irresponsibility, violence, and superficiality. Watch Alpha Dog to witness a gripping true crime story exposing youth violence and social decay in early 2000s America.

 Sometimes, those films that are deemed masterpieces of cinema appear to me as 'just' good films.

 The weak point lies within the film itself: too often the movie lacks events that capture the viewer’s attention.

The review discusses Oliver Stone's Platoon, acknowledging its raw and powerful portrayal of the Vietnam War from the director's personal experience. Despite its acclaim and multiple Academy Awards, the film is seen as lacking cinematic engagement due to slow pacing and overextended scenes. The movie focuses on internal conflicts within the American platoon rather than battles with the Viet Cong, leading to both praise for its polemical stance and criticism for its diminished entertainment value. The reviewer contrasts it with Apocalypse Now, highlighting Platoon's unique yet flawed approach. Discover Oliver Stone's gritty Vietnam War story – watch Platoon and decide if it’s a masterpiece or just good!

 "The Unborn is an almost unwatchable film."

 "An embarrassing screenplay with directorial choices that are anything but original."

David Goyer’s horror-thriller The Unborn is critically flawed, suffering from a poorly written screenplay and amateurish direction. The film’s plot and special effects feel unoriginal and laughable rather than scary. Odette Yustman’s presence is noted as the only somewhat redeeming aspect. Ultimately, the movie is described as slow, badly acted, and one of the worst recent horror films. Read the full review and discover why The Unborn is a horror film to avoid.

 The hospital will be the reference point of the film, a living stage for the various mental inclinations of the protagonists.

 The director succeeded in creating a great film despite a minimal budget and the little publicity the film received.

Its clever use of setting, minimal dialogue, and steady suspense build a claustrophobic mood. The film offers a unique story with smart camera work and unexpected twists, showcasing Anderson's talent before his later acclaimed The Machinist.

 This Stigmate leaves you puzzled by the theses it tries to develop and then leaves halfway.

 Patricia Arquette manages alone to keep the film’s fate high, while the other actors seem quite bland and lack pathos.

Rupert Wainwright's 1999 film Stigmate blends religion, fantasy, and thriller but struggles with a superficial treatment of controversial themes. Despite strong performances, especially by Patricia Arquette, the film is marred by tonal inconsistencies and an improbable screenplay. The movie tries to explore the conflict between church and science but ultimately falls into pretentiousness and confusion. While some scenes depicting suffering are well done, the film fails to engage effectively. Explore this complex blend of religion and horror in Stigmate and decide if its intriguing flaws captivate you.
