Dark River: Cinema: older films

One of Alfred Hitchcock's many masterpieces. Everything is perfect: plot, acting, directing, photography...

Not one of the best films of Woody Allen but still very enjoyable. Kenneth Brannagh acting like Woody Allen is really excellent.

The sequel of the parody of parodies of James Bond. The scatological jokes are just too gross and some of the gags are obviously for an American audience but the film is still funny. It's a big budget production that pretends to be low budget amateurish(!) film.

One of the worst film I have ever seen. This is a pitiful attempt to copy the original films from the thirties. But it fails miserably: the narrative construction is weak, the atmosphere is not there, and the acting is really terrible. Even the special effects are quite underwhelming.

The Wachowski brothers are back after their first film "Bound". Again, the visual aspect is striking. The story is reminiscent of "The Terminator" (and others) and is quite logical. Nice Hong-Kong style fighting sequences. I saw this one twice. ;-)

Probably not David Cronenberg's best film but still complex and disturbing. Elements from most of his previous films (from the ones I've seen at least) are present. Virtual reality inside virtual reality inside... Excellent.

A film in 3D with a real story. It starts like a docu-drama and becomes a fiction with special effects. Some of the traditional cinematography techniques just don't work in 3D: close-ups are horrible for example...

This is a very good film from Sam Raimi. Extremely dark and gloomy story about money, greed and murder.

This film is trying too hard to be a John Woo film! The story is interesting enough but the film works essentially thanks to the presence of Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg.

Very nice Canadian Sci-Fi film about a group a people wandering in a deadly 3D maze.

I just can't stand Chris Tucker but otherwise this action-comedie is quite enjoyable.

Reasonably good action film where government agencies spy on everyone.

This film is truly amazing. Thomas Vinterberg filmed this familly drama following the concept of Dogma95 (natural light, handheld camera...). And the result is... amazing, but I said that already.

Difficult to watch despite being very funny. I didn't like Roberto Benigni's previous film but making a comedy on the Holocaust was quite a challenge.

Terry Gilliam gone completely crazy. Highly enjoyable (most of the time).

Ken Loach is back with another social drama. Excellent as usual but maybe not as plausible as it should have been.

Brilliant Indian drama (filmed in English) about arranged marriages.
