An interesting premise and a solid cast. Unfortunately, the execution happens to be rather weak at times. I still recommend it since it features a different aspect of Nazi persecution, and a good performance by one of my favourite German actors, August Diehl.

Not a mere account of historic events but rather an intriguing study of violence and oppression. McQueen's atmospheric silence and hard-hitting brutality, Bobbitt's beautiful camera work and Fassbender's dedicated performance make this a moving, fascinating piece of film.

Living and breathing nostalgia.The beginning feels a bit long but the film soon turns into an enchanting, beautifully crafted tribute to the beginnings of cinema and the power of storytelling. Very enjoyable!

An atmospheric, haunting short film featuring lovely performances by both Benedict Cumberbatch and Natalie Press. The final scene is particularly moving and accentuated by a beautiful score.

A brave, wonderfully visualised film about the troubles of motherhood, the seriousness of being a parent and the crushing power of guilt. An intense, disturbing viewing experience, featuring a magnificent lead performance by Tilda Swinton, leaving you with many questions and no easy answers at the end. One of my favourites of 2011.

I love the beyond beautiful cinematography and how the 'roaring' image of the 1920s is undermined by themes of violence and coldness. The cast is stellar, especially Paul Newman and Daniel Craig as father and son (it would have been great to see some more of their troubled relationship), and, last but not least, Jude Law as a remarkable, perfectly creepy villain.

A couple of chuckles and interesting aspects swept away by eructation and loads of female shit. Has it really become that easy to earn an Oscar nomination?

Lloyd's film grants a quick overview of some of Thatcher's major life events but rather focuses on portraying a woman's struggle with glass ceilings, family and disease, alas, not always in a thorough manner. Streep's performance, taken out of the Thatcher-context, is outstanding indeed. Within it, it appears rather sentimental, though. That being said, The Iron Lady has enjoyable aspects, but it fails as a biopic.

Utter rubbish.

One of my favourite Lady Gaga videos. It refrains from being overly pompous and rather tries to capture a feeling in the simplest way possible. The lovely scenery and steamy atmosphere evoke Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel and, to be honest, you can do no wrong with Clarence Clemons on board.

I enjoyed it a lot more the second time. Once I abandoned expectations of a conventional biopic Bronson became a very interesting, hilarious, even tragic piece of film. Not to mention that it is Tom Hardy's beyond magnificent performance which holds everything together. The stage segments are particularly engaging. Pure talent.

Wood and McQueen are fabulous. They have great chemistry and convince in more serious, emotional scenes as well as comedic ones. It is fascinating how the film handles topics such as abortion and the self-determination of women in the early 60s. The more rom-com-like approach towards the end undermines the 'darker edge' of the film a little, which I find a bit unfortunate. It is still a very good film, though.

Not really bad, not really great either. I suppose a little more depth and focus and a little less MTV would have done this movie good.

A dream? A fantasy? A mystery? A beautiful, haunting, complex and challenging gem of a film.

Modern noir. Stylish, gritty and fun. A couple of questionable casting choices but this does not prevent the film from being one entertaining ride, especially since there were a bunch of fantastic casting choices as well. Definitely one of Rodriguez's best.

A solid effort, proving Shakespeare's timelessness. Stile's portrayal of Desdemona could have been stronger and Phoenix could have used a little more to work with, but I really like Phifer and Hartnett in this one.

Love the song. Hate the video. It's just so... blah.

One of my favourite films. Malick's storytelling is so powerful. He knows how to capture heaps of emotions in just one single shot. Utterly beautiful, moving, intriguing; and Q'orianka Kilcher delivers an impressive debut.

The first part is utter perfection. It is brilliantly atmospheric, eerie, haunting. Alas, the second part, starting with the discovery of the boat, lacks all those qualities. It presents too many simple solutions to an otherwise perfectly complex story. The characters turn flat, the inquest is not half as interesting as Mrs. de Winter's struggle at Manderley. Still a classic, though. It is a Hitch after all.

A truly spectacular actor.

A clichéd yet very raw and gripping sports and family drama. Every time the script might make you roll your eyes, the fabulous acting saves the day. Amazing performances by everybody involved, especially the two leading men Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy. I really enjoyed it.

A moving, inspiring and heart-warming biopic. There is no useless pathos or kitsch. Everything feels real and human, with the use of documentary features making it easy to dive into the 70s and witness the political struggles. Van Sant pays a beautiful tribute to Milk’s life and work and manages -despite the tragic and sad ending- to spread hope for the future. Sean Penn’s performance is stellar. One of his best.

I enjoyed it but, in the end, it is rather mediocre. The film handles the current topic of unemployment caused by an economic downturn as well as interesting themes such as moral, life, love and the coming of age in today’s society. However, Reitman does not manage to actually go into depth with his characters’ motives and emotions. Most things are handled on the surface. It could have ben better.

This is probably one of the most tedious movie experiences I have ever had. Despite the promising premise, this film is plain and simple boring. Nothing, NOTHING! happens. There is hardly any tension, the characters are freaking annoying, the dialogues lead nowhere and the story is dull. A true waste of time and money, even for a low budget production. I don’t have a clue why this became such a success.

It must be difficult to create a silent film adaptation of a novel that mainly lives from its puns, neologisms and nonsensical dialogues. It is a decent effort, though. That being said, is it just me or does anybody else find the bit in which the March Hare and the Mad Hatter try to put the Dormouse into the tea pot slightly disturbing?

I’m not a Trekkie. I like this nevertheless. It does not create the urge within me to go and watch all of the previous movies and TV shows but it definitely makes me appreciate the unique characters, their friendship and loyalty. All the characters are fun to watch and the cast is lovely. A nice summer blockbuster.

This is just too much of everything. Too long, too many action sequences, too many twists and turns in the plot. You can hardly grasp the characters and their intentions. I am tempted to give this two stars but since Captain Jack Sparrow and friends can easily charm me, I will make it a three. And now leave it be, Hollywood!

Cotillard's performance as Piaf, a colourful figure, an eccentric woman, an emotional wreck, a wonderful and dedicated chanteuse, is just brilliant. Her Oscar is well-deserved. I also enjoy the dramaturgy of the film. The inconsistent, non-chronological structure helps to create a unique atmosphere and fits the story of a dying woman arbitrarily remembering various different stages of her life. A wonderful film.

A solid popcorn-action-movie, yet highly emotional and sociocritical. Dark, yet very enjoyable. Sharlto Copley is wonderful in the lead and both the adult alien and his son are adorable. The 'we-fear-what-we-don’t-know' aspect was very intriguing as well as the comparism of media coverage with 'real life experience', pointing out the manipulative potential of media.

I love Psycho, even though the first half offers a lot more character-wise. The second half more follows the pattern of an average detective story without regards to its characters’ emotions, which can make a second viewing experience kind of tedious. However, this is a filmic masterpiece. The camera work is outstanding, the score haunting, and the casting of handsome Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates rather genius.
