The Way Back (2010)
>>: B+ The Uninvited Guest (2004) A beautifully crafted & twisted Spanish thriller that revolves around Felix, an architect who has just split up with his girl-friend and finds himself alone in his huge mansion. One day a stranger rings the door bell and asks to use the phone. Felix reluctantly lets the man in & permits his request. He leaves the man to have some privacy. When he goes back into that room he finds the room empty and he can't understand how the man left without making a noise? It seems he just vanishes! Or is he hiding somewhere in the mansion? But Is it possible to live in somebody's house hiding all the time where you can feel his presence but can't see him anywhere? Although it started like an interesting Hitchcockian thriller but at the end it turned out more than that or any other recent psycho-thriller movie. Highly Recommended. Thanks a lot to V for adding this exceptional entry & also whoever recommended it to HDC's Top 200 of the 2000s. It surely deserves its place not in the honorable mentions but straight into the top list. >>: A

Anyway - It's a very well-done film that is incredibly INCREDIBLY bleak - It's hard to recommend a film that made me feel incredibly depressed, you know? :p I can't say, "Yeah, Tony, you'd enjoy it." ;) But, yes, in a sense, I'd recommend Black Death - Powerful and epic little film. Definitely worth seeing. Would love to hear your feedback on both that and Sauna. Glad you enjoyed Sauna too, Roshiq - It was such a surprise; rented it randomly after Rue Morgue Magazine gave it a positive review... I didn't realize that it was going to be such a period piece... And I really liked that aspect of it. The acting was incredible too. |

"Young Guns" (1988)
"Young Guns II" (1990) Hollywood, again, tells the story of Billy The Kid and The Lincoln County Wars Phantom's Review: While, hardly a couple of western classics, these films are still extremely entertaining. Plenty of action and adventure and fun. I thoroughly enjoy them. -- |

More people need to see it. Like Sauna and Calvaire.

Sucker Punch: Damn I loved this movie. I honestly can't understand all the hate for it. Sure, it's not a movie that is ever going to sweep the Oscars, but that's not the point of the movie is it? I mean you have a movie that combines hot chicks, giant samurai, zombie Nazis, and fire-breathing dragons. This is not exactly meant to be the next Titanic. It's all about fun and it brings that to say the very least. I guess some people couldn't wrap their head around the plot's twists and weirdness, but honestly I don't see it being any more convoluted than Inception.
