7/10	84%	Ad Astra (2019)	Ad Astra is a significant film, an original film, a smart film, an impressive film .. but it's not enjoyable. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 15, 2019
4.5/10	63%	It Chapter Two (2019)	Chapter 2 can only be described as too messy until it gets too organized and then goes back to the worst mess I can imagine. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 11, 2019
9/10	97%	Toy Story 4 (2019)	Toy Story 4 might not have a lot of new things going but it's still an amazingly fresh film. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 15, 2019
8.5/10	90%	John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)	I think by now it's safe to say that John Wick films are the standard setting products for the entire genre - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 24, 2019

9.5/10	90%	Capernaum (Capharnaüm) (2018)	Capernaum will take a top spot in my list for the best films I've seen and will never watch again. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 17, 2019
6.5/10	78%	Captain Marvel (2019)	Captain Marvel is an ordinary film in the place of the awesome film some of us were expecting. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 10, 2019
9/10	87%	The Sisters Brothers (2018)	The Sisters Brothers is one of the hidden gems of 2018. It holds a great artistic value and it's still a lot of fun to watch. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 2, 2019
8/10	62%	Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)	It's not Nightcrawler only because it's not relatable for everyone, but it's not by any means a lesser story or cinematic product - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 21, 2019
3/10	37%	Glass (2019)	A wagon carrying dramatic garbage advancing on rails at a constant pace to reach a destination where nobody ever wanted to go - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 14, 2019
4/10	61%	Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)	Historical accuracy is not my problem, do what you want to serve your creative vision. My problem is that there's no creative vision. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 5, 2018

8/10	91%	Mandy (2018)	Cage's performance didn't develop or change, it just falls in the right place, where his crazy reactions & over the top acting become traits that help the film & distinguish him. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 5, 2018
8.5/10	75%	Yomeddine (2019)	The acts of the trip that, when put together, form the film are very well paced, with just about the right dosage of pain and humour to keep it balanced - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 20, 2018
8.5/10	75%	Sheikh Jackson (2018)	An admirably personal film that I truly enjoyed, and believed, as an accurate study for a familiar profile - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 25, 2018
8.5/10	66%	Alien: Covenant (2017)	A superior film to its predecessor and, maybe, with different circumstances, boosting its influence and effectiveness, it would've reached the highest spot in the "Alien" pyramid - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted May 21, 2017
7/10	36%	The Great Wall (2017)	An epic spectacle of warfare, action sequences, and inventive weaponry, wrapped up in top notch cinematography and visual effects .. Only with a repetitive story at its core. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 13, 2017
9.5/10	85%	Hacksaw Ridge (2016)	Hacksaw Ridge restores faith in the possibility of larger than life stories with notable dramatic, technical and artistic achievements without a larger than life budget - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 26, 2016
7.5/10	71%	Central Intelligence (2016)	I laughed hard watching "Central Intelligence" and I believe it's the best movie so far that has been designed around the type of comedy where Kevin Hart belongs - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 4, 2016
9/10	93%	Clash (Eshtebak) (2017)	A claustrophobic, blood boiling, experience that is, surprisingly, very easy to follow and be engaged with - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 31, 2016
9.5/10	94%	The Jungle Book (2016)	A loyal adaptation of a familiar story, but the unique creative vision and dramatic philosophy makes it necessary to label it 'unparalleled' - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted May 3, 2016
7/10	53%	Demolition (2016)	I enjoyed Demolition, but that doesn't mean that I can't fill a few letters of complaints myself. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 13, 2016
9/10	98%	Zootopia (2016)	Zootopia is the best Disney animated movie, either with Pixar or without it, since Toy Story 3 in 2010. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 4, 2016
8/10	74%	Trumbo (2015)	In his 1st project on the serious side, after movies like The Campaign, Dinner for Schmucks & Meet the Parents, Jay Roach delivers a rather fine job. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 31, 2016
9/10	97%	Spotlight (2015)	It restores my faith in the concept of redemption to see McCarthy bouncing from The Cobbler straight to Spotlight - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 31, 2016
8.5/10	93%	Room (2015)	Room is the black horse of the season & the greatest way to give credit to independent cinema, as well as authors turning their own production into screenplays. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 31, 2016
8/10	No Score Yet	The Blue Elephant (2014)	The Blue Elephant is a cinematic achievement that should've paved the way for more courage and further adventures by Egyptian filmmakers. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 31, 2016
3.5/10	16%	Gods Of Egypt (2016)	I never enjoyed the company of a screaming, out of his lungs, Gerard Butler, yet I can honestly say that he was just as hard to tolerate as everybody else. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 31, 2016
4.5/10	11%	The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016)	Nothing wrong with the genre .. It's just a bad movie - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 31, 2016
5/10	90%	The Witch (2016)	Associating the movie with mysteries and thrillers, rather than horror, sounds more fitting for me to appreciate the beautiful picture that Robert Eggers is introducing. - FilmGamed EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 29, 2016
