The Philadelphia Story is a 1940 romantic comedy directed by George Cukor; if the director is not enough to convince you that it’s a good movie, just look at the cast (Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart and Ruth Hussey). Plot-wise it is fairly straightforward and I won’t waste your time giving too many details….

23 is just a number
The Number 23 is a 2007 thriller directed by Joel Schumacher staring Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen. First off, the 2/3 very good reasons (see what I did there?) for which I chose this movie for the cinematographic column of the month are because of Jim Carrey’s role, for a depiction of the consequences of…
A tall tale of winter tail
For the festive season, merry and jolly themed, Forget for now Saint Nick and presents dreamed; Winter’s tale I would suggest for you to view Portraying love, miracles and feelings true. After this cheesy and totally unnecessary introduction (just like Christmas lights at the beginning of November) that I could have just as easily spared…
Young man, old boy
Given that Spooktober just came to an end, let’s follow the thread with a peculiar movie, a sort of neo-noir thriller that for its strangeness will surely not be appreciated by many but is still well worth the curiosity. Old Boy is a South Korean movie directed by Park Chan-wook; it is loosly adapted from…
The chalet in the grove
Back at it again with a not-so-professional movie review; given that Spooktober has already began, I thought it was appropriate to tackle a movie in the horror genre. There is however a small catch: this movie is what I would call a bit of a deconstruction on the overall classic horror. The cabin in the…
Carter (not the coach)
Back for another not-so-professional movie ‘review’ – and given that a couple of months ago I had stated that it would prove interesting to keep an eye on Korean cinema, now it is an appropriate time to write this article. That being said, Carter is a 2022 Korean action movie directed by Jung Byung-gil staring…
Finding the running Forrest-er
[As a brief side note, as I was checking the movie column for the past couple of years I noticed that in August of 2022 I had not uploaded one of my reviews (and yet I am pretty sure I had prepared it). Also, I am quite sure that this precise movie was meant for…
The Saints of the docks of Boon
This article is not quite what I would call professional, in fact it is quite the opposite. Apart from my biased opinion, it will contain also contain several swear words because the movie that I will be talking about is just that fucking good. Reader discretion is advised. Boondock Saints is a 1999 gung-ho action…
MineSweepers in Space
Space sweepers is a 2021 Korean science-fiction action movie that I would say is well worth the watch. Given that there are several things I want to discuss in this article, I will quite surly make several spoilers, so be fairly warned. First thing’s first, in my opinion Korean movies should be given closer attention…
A beautiful movie of the mind
A beautiful mind is a 2001 biographical drama starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. The movie is about John Nash’s life and his fight with schizophrenia; although several facts might have been exaggerated or invented, it is however true that the mathematician had mental problems and the movie tackles them brilliantly. Russell Crowe’s rendition of…
