Bio:
My rating system: 5 stars = favorite movie 4,5 stars = outstanding, masterpiece 4 stars = great, excellent 3.5 = very good 3 stars = good, decent entertainment 2,5 stars = average, alright 2 = below average, rather meh 1.5 = rather bad 1 = really bad 0.5 = horrid crap I am mostly here to rate movies I watched and create an archive of everything I've seen, but I'll be glad to talk about movies or anything with people who share a similar taste. However, I don't care much for marriage offers from Africa or other spam, and don't waste your time with offering your paid web cam either, I will report you. Anyone else is more than welcome to say Hi, if they have a profile that tells me something about them and their taste.

Gravity

Gravity

 (2013) 3 days ago via Flixster

Alfonso Cuaron's space thriller about disaster striking three astronauts during a space walk is unlike anything you've seen on the big screen before. It starts with a 17 minutes sequence shot that puts you right there in the middle of things, turning the audience into a witness in close proximity to events that turn from zen-like calm to horrific mayhem within seconds. Of course it helps if you have no problems spending 90 minutes really close to Sandra Bullock, who may deliver the performance of her career here, despite of being a rather unusual choice. In fact, she entirely disappears behind her character, a modern day Ellen Ripley if you want, just without the xenomorphs to fight. It's also refreshing to see a film that relies on its audience's intelligence and concentration without spelling out each decision or explanation for them.
How scientifically accurate this film really is will be up to experts to decide. As a viewer the protagonists' struggle for survival will keep you on the edge of your seat for 90 minutes, torn between the awe-inspiring beauty of space and unspeakable terror of getting lost up there. The cinematography pulls all tricks imaginable to create an experience hard to forget. Accordingly, 3D fulfills a real purpose here. With everyone involved in the making of this film being at the top of their game the result is a real game-changer, a visually, artistically and technically breathtaking masterpiece that will stand the test of time, maybe even opens up an entirely new genre. It should most certainly be seen on the biggest screen you can find.

The Fighter

The Fighter

 (2010) 14 days ago via Flixster

A dysfunctional family both supports and cripples their son's aspiring boxing career. While Wahlberg as the fighter is more or less the obvious choice it's Bale as his drug-using coach and brother who steals every scene and delivers an outstanding (and Oscar-awarded) performance. Same goes for Melissa Leo as their mother. The film works best in the moments that feel very real and often have a great, realistic sense of humor. Only the last act follows the traditional sports drama path a bit too predictably. Overall the result is still highly entertaining and engaging, mostly thanks to the good writing and the stellar performances.

Conan the Barbarian

Conan the Barbarian

 (2011) 17 days ago via Flixster

Pointless remake of Schwarzenegger's classic that neither has the protagonist's charisma, outstanding soundtrack or feral atmosphere of the original. That being said, the film does look good and presents one action scene after another, making it impossible to get bored or to think all that much about what's going on.

Black Sheep

Black Sheep

 (2006) 17 days ago via Flixster

In this New Zealand horror thriller, genetically changed sheep go rampage. That shows all trademarks of Peter Jackson's early gore-fests but is not entirely as groundbreaking. While the silliness is intended its often a tad too predictable to be entirely satisfying.

Superbad

Superbad

 (2007) 17 days ago via Flixster

Even though kids trying to get drunk and laid is far from being my favorite genre of comedies I have to admit this had quite a few good laughs. It exceeded its welcome, though and could have ended a bit earlier and more spot-on. At least the film has its heart at the right spot in the end.
