Just another romcom about a jerk discovering he has emotions.
-
This film has two sides clawing for attention. On one side you have the goofy, Get Smart-like spy parody, on the other the serious spy drama, with double and triple agents, deception and remote-controlled car bombs.

The one with the following quote:
20 bucks they killed him. Dykes.
-
The anarchist’s cookfilm.
-
Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Charlie Sheen in “tiger blood” mode.
-
A weird animal. A ZAZ-less ZAZ-lite, playing the serious parts seriously, gunning for the Navy recruitment propaganda shtick. But it works, particularly after literally making Rob Schneider walk the plank. Arrr!
-
Shane Black writes La Femme Nikita sequel? Sign me the fuck up. The only way this could be improved was to replace some explosions by quips and comebacks between characters. My favourite Christmas movie.
-
Yojimbo remake that reuses parts of the other previous remake, A Fistful of Dollars.
-
Ironically, this is a forgettable “sci-fi”-ish thriller about memories and murders. Linda Fiorentino is the scientist who does basically nothing.
-
Woo, Will Smith in the start of its Schwarzenegger-isation. It’s not MIB II-levels of “wooo”. Just like all Emmerich epics, this is bursting at the seams with shit happening, but at the same time it feels hollow.
-
This is a remake of a Jerry Lewis film, he is credited as producer. Eddie Murphy playing a crazier version of itself is appealing, but there are way too many fart jokes, way way too many.
-
Classic Michael Bay/Bruckheimer collaboration. Not as much rotating cameras yet, but a lot of shit blows up. It’s also a non-official National Treasure prequel, since Mason gives up the secret location of Hoover’s archive.
-
That’s what I did when I noticed the Miramax logo. The Weinstein treatment. It’s so meta, it even opens with the youngest Barrymore clan member being slashed, to prove this is not your regular Hollywood film.
-
What the fuck, literally! This is pure Cronenberg weirdness wrapped around sexually charged arthouse. There’s less talking than other films, but sometimes it is too much.
-
A modern black-as-hell film noir, set in Chicago, decades before Spotlight. For a courtroom drama with people talking, it has some cinematic aerial shots, panning from downtown to the wrong side of the tracks.
