I just finished World Without End, the sequel to The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, and I was disappointed. Maybe I shouldn't have read it right after the thousand pages that make The Pillars of the Earth. Maybe I liked the first novel too much...
Finally, finally, I finished Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth. I say finally because it's the first over-a-thousand-pages-long book I ever read and I loved every single word in it. It's this huge, huge multiple point of views story, spread on a...
Give a try to this new show: Life Unexpected, if only to see Kerr Smith & Shiri Appleby! It has the Summerland plotline, only without the surfing (a shame, IMO) nor the dead parents. This kid, Lux (probably standing for LifeUneXpected, although it does...
Maybe it's because I'm tired, but I just discovered, quite randomly, Tyler Oakley's channel on YouTube, and I've been laughing my ass off for the past hour. I like people who speak fast in general, but here there's something in the ever-present sarcasm...
When I first saw the trailer a few months ago, all I could think was "Oh my gosh, this is gonna be SO great!". However, a few weeks ago I began to hear one description for this movie very often "This is the American Love Actually". And that was it. No...
I was really looking forward to Jane Campion's last movie, because I'm a huge, huge fan of The Piano, which I've seen at least 20 times (although it might be closer to 30). Well, regarding Bright Star, I cannot say whether it's a good or a bad film. I...
Oh, My Joss, there are so many facts I cannot believe right now, I have to make a list: - I cannot believe that a Score for Buffy The Vampire Slayer is out, with all of Christophe Beck's original tracks on it! - I cannot believe that it's only been out...
The other day I discovered Duplicity, with Julia Roberts & Clive Owen. I loved it, for many reasons: - I like stories about spies. - Julia Roberts. There's something about her, she always has had an effect on me. - Hello, trust issues! - It reminded me...
I discovered Damages in DVD last week, and the first season was fascinating. Glenn Close's character, a machiavelic defense attorney who manipulates everyone (and I mean everyone, including her partners, clients, family, judge...) is extremely interesting...
WARNING: If you haven't read the books or seen the trailer and hate to be told what's going on in a movie you haven't watched yet, mind the spoilers in this article! Yesterday I saw New Moon, the second opus in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series, in theaters....
This film is hilarious, with a lot of action and some ridiculous scenes (in an unrealistic kind of way) which was precisely what the original TV show was about. The characters in the film are just like those in the tv show, the spirit is that of the former...
I was excited to see How To Train Your Dragon, because I like Dreamworks' motion pictures, and I like dragons, magic and stuff, but I was not as into it as I thought I would be. True, the dragons and scenery are really well done, but that's about it:...
Extremely realistic and incredibly shocking. It really is a good film/documentary fiction, and what stroke me was that we've seen many films and shows about life in prison, and this one was no different. It was no different in the amount and types of...
EVERYTHING IS AMAZING IN THIS FILM! Special effects... Soundtrack... Dialogues... Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle... A classic scenario but OH MY GOD WHAT A GREAT FILM! That's definitely one I'm going to see several...
"It's complicated" is the story of a 50-something couple with three children who got a nasty divorce 10 years ago and who try the "divorced with benefits" experience. The ex-husband got remarried, and the ex-wife redesigned her whole life by opening up...
Twisted feelings, Sexual temptation, Twisted personalities, Sexual plots, Twisted story, Sexual situations. Very weird, but good acting, good directing, good rhythm, I was captivated. The plot is a bit obvious though, and there are also some totally unnecessary...
Everything you love from Pixar is there. Emotion, laughter, amazing image quality (even in 3D), and their ability to build something new with characters they have already portrayed in two other films... the substance is what lacks in Dreamworks' motion...
Forget Domino with K. Knightley as a recklesss bounty huntress, this one is a real romantic comedy with all the plots, jokes and feelings you can think of. Music was hilarious as well! Jennifer Aniston + Gerard Butler. Light and sweet, funny and sexy....
In spite of all the negative critics I've heard about this film, I liked it . The story was original in a way because it focuses on Robin Longstride, aka Robin Hood, but before he became an outlaw. So no tricks with the Sheriff of Nottingham and no stealing...
Easily in my top 10 artists of all times, I've seen Sarah McLachlan on stage a few years ago in Paris, I've got all her albums, all listened to gazillion times, I've got at least 20 favourite songs of her, including her whole Christmas album "Wintersong"......
I had done the whole "don't spoil me, I don't want to read, watch or hear anything about this film" routine before entering the cinema to watch it, so I was totally unaware of the story, actors, scenery... All I had seen was the poster above. I was sort...
Veeeerrrryyyyy nice film, for many reasons: 1) As much action as in Mr & Mrs Smith (I wasn't expecting this), 2) Hilarious jokes, 3) Good plot, twists and turns, 4) Original (sort of...) story, although it's more in the characters that you become surprised...
I'll make the same review as for the 2 previous movies: a great adaptation of a great book. Masterfully directed, greatly acted.The atmosphere and ambiance are exactly as in the book... A must see if you've seen the other two and read the books. I still...
I think my review is contained in one word: disappointment . I adore this fictional universe, the sense of realism and adventure it offers, but, well, I had been disappointed by the second installment, Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard, and the third...
Totally expected: the idiotic lines and the totally absent scenario. I really went there for the visual effects, but you can smell "lack of budget" from 40 miles around, and I think seeing it in 3D made it even worse. The only really beautiful thing is...
