Excellent adventure movie for the entire family telling the real life story of Mikael Lindnord and the adventure where he met and adopted Arthur. It has some tense moments, looks very nice, the dog is adorable and the chemistry of the entire crew makes up for a very good watch. Five popcorns and races to the Movie Vault.

Mourning his dead child, a haunted Vietnam War veteran attempts to uncover his past while suffering from a severe case of dissociation. To do so, he must decipher reality and life from his own dreams, delusions, and perceptions of death.

Great cult horror-psychological movie about loss and inner demons, starring Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña, David Aiello, Jason Alexander and so many more. It’s a great movie and you even get to see Macaulay Culkin in an uncredited role. Directed by Adrian Lyne, director of Flashdance, Indecent Proposal and many other more, this is definitely a disturbing and great movie. I won’t talk about the 2019 remake, because that’s utter shit, a waste of film. Keep on watching this version. Five popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.

After developing an addiction to the substance he uses to kill bugs, an exterminator accidentally kills his wife and becomes involved in a secret government plot being orchestrated by giant bugs in a port town in North Africa.

Good movie directed by David Cronenberg, featuring such a great cast, Peter Weller (Robocop), Judy Davis, Ian Holm (Brazil, Lord of the Rings), Roy Scheider (Jaws, SeaQuest 2032). Three popcorns, because Cronenberg is an acquired taste, if you have the stomach for yucky stuff.

The head of a cyborg reactivates, rebuilds itself, and goes on a violent rampage in a space marine’s girlfriend’s apartment.

Classic end of the 80s action horror movie in a post-apocalyptic setting with a cyberpunk and steampunk component. It’s basically a David Cronenberg-like Terminator, with nice jokes and good acting and set design and the voice of Iggy Pop as Angry Bob. Not a masterpiece, but definitely worth seeing if you like the genre. Five popcorns.

This is Angry Bob, the man with the industrial dick, coming to you loud and clear on W.A.R. Radio with the good news and the bad news. Bad news is the heatwave’s not going to let up. It’s expected to hit ninety downtown before nightfall, although weather control keeps promising that rain is on the way. As for the good news - There is no fucking good news! So let’s just play some music!

Working at a fishing resort in an idyllic location, but surrounded by various facets of human unpleasantness, a young mute woman falls in love with a man on the run from the law for committing murder.

Good korean drama written and directed by the late Kim Ki-duk (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring). The writing is good, the acting is good, the pacing is a bit on the slow side, but there’s always something interesting on the screen, as it’s tense, surreal, and at times even funny. However, it does have some weird, gory, freaky scenes so it only gets three popcorns.

Paul Hanganu loves two women. Adriana his wife and the mother of their daughter, the woman with whom he’s shared the thrills of the past ten years, and Raluca the woman who has made him redefine himself. He has to leave one of them before Christmas.

Slow burning (but not boring) Romanian movie, presenting the life of a family with all its daily routines and problems. The mood is pretty tense and it does a really good job of keeping your attention to the screen. Unlike the Romanian movies, this has an ending and the story closes properly, without all the typical shitty open endings the writers have a boner for in the last 20 years. Four pocorns.

Excellent experimental movie with a brilliant soundtrack (Clint Mansell), story, direction (Darren Aronofsky) and acting. Seven popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

A young boy befriends a giant robot from outer space that a paranoid government agent wants to destroy.

The film takes place in October of 1957, when America had plenty to be worried about. Rock ’n’ roll. Television. The bomb. And on the fourth day of that month, the Soviets successfully launched the first manmade satellite, Sputnik, into orbit. The space race had officially begun. The Cold War just got colder. People were unsure about their neighbors, even questioning their friends.

In the small town of Rockwell, Maine, Annie Hughes (voice of Jennifer Aniston) is just worried about putting supper on the table for herself and her nine-year-old son, Hogarth (voice of Eli Marienthal). A single mother holding down a job at the local diner, Annie has her hands full with Hogarth—headstrong and imaginative, always on the lookout for the latest attempted takeover by mutant aliens or subversive invaders.

So when a local fisherman comes into the diner with a tall tale about a huge metal man falling into the sea, the only one to pay him much attention is Hogarth, who sets out exploring to find the enormous robot. What he does find is a 50-foot giant with an insatiable appetite for metal and a childlike curiosity about its new world.

Rumors of everything from an alien invasion to a Russian secret weapon bent on destroying Rockwell soon spread through the small town, prompting the arrival of government agent Kent Mansley (voiced by Christopher McDonald). Keeping one step ahead of Mansley, Hogarth convinces his beatnik friend Dean (voiced by Harry Connick, Jr.) to hide the Iron Giant (voiced by Vin Diesel) in Dean’s junkyard.

But it isn’t long before the rumors turn into paranoia—the situation escalates and the possible destruction of Rockwell looms. Hogarth turns to his friend, the Iron Giant, who ultimately finds its humanity by unselfishly saving the town’s residents from their own fears and prejudices.

Basically a must-see, featuring amazing animations and voice actors and it’s definitely a classic for kids and grownups alike. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

The eruption of an oil well is much needed for the survival of the workers and their families living nearby.

Enter the movie synopsis: It was a desolate place, torrid, filled with abandoned oil wells, entirely covered in dust and melted by the heat. The people living there spoke little. Most had already left the inhospitable place, abandoning the small settlement that just months earlier had been bursting with life. A handful of enthusiastic workers, led by Barcu, an energetic engineer, still remained, drilling desperately in search of oil, the oil that would breathe new life into the entire region and reignite the spark of happiness in the abandoned homes. Things change when a young student comes from Bucharest for an internship. She is drawn to the energy of the young engineer, but her presence will ignite passions in the hearts of the other oil workers as well…

Good movie about the hardships of people working in the oil industry in the first part of the twentieth century. Good pacing, great music, and also marks the debut in cinema of Eva Christian. As a fun fact, some of the scenes were filmed in my hometown.

Update: Marking the directorial debut of Liviu Ciulei, this is also probably one of the most Hitchcock-esque movie made in the Romanian cinematography. I’m still amazed that a masterpiece like this was allowed to be made in Communist Romania. Bump to six popcorns and putting this into the Movie Vault, where it should be. Also adding some HD rip screenshots.

The thoracic surgeon Evgenia Belyaeva has only one month to prepare for the flight to the International Space Station, where she has to perform surgery on a crew member. Will she be up for the challenge? Can she overcome her fears and insecurities? Will she be able to perform the complicated surgery in zero gravity, and give the cosmonaut a chance to return to Earth alive?

This is a classic space-related drama. Astronaut gets fucked in space, doctor on Earth prepares some austronauts for making the surgery, eventually goes back to space. The acting is nice, the story is good, but what makes this movie a masterpiece is that parts of the movie were shot on the International Space Station, with real cosmonauts as actors, some former cosmonauts having cameo roles and the main protagonist becoming a real cosmonaut, launching to ISS with the Soyuz MS-19 mission. All in all, it’s a very good movie and despite its 2 hours and 45 minutes runtime, it is entertaining enough and it also might be one of the most expensive movies ever made, if you include the rocket and the launch. Also, because of its great cinematography and the location where it was filmed, this is a very beautiful movie to see on a huge TV. Five popcorns and it flies into the Movie Vault.
