Under the Mountain [2009] Movie Review Recommendation

Under the Mountain [2009]

Although his previous movie Black Sheep was a beautiful bloody mess, Jonathan King decided to take a different path with this one. Based on a book, Under the Mountain has a more of children's flick feel to it....
The 13th Warrior [1999] Movie Review Recommendation

The 13th Warrior [1999]

As one of the rare Viking flicks that's good, The 13the Warrior was the first movie I saw after the eighties exploration of the "cool dark age vibe" that had all the elements needed. Mystery, strong and...
9 [2009] Movie Review Recommendation

9 [2009]

Another movie that ended up with Tim Burton sticker on it. Funny thing is that the director Shane Acker actually shot 9 as a short film back in 2005 and was even nominated for an Academy Award. I guess they...
The Dark Crystal [1982] Movie Review Recommendation

The Dark Crystal [1982]

In today's world of modern CGI effects, and big-budget computer animated cartoons, seeing this movie is really refreshing. Using puppets and good story The Dark Crystal managed to be interesting after all this...
Big Fish [2003] Movie Review Recommendation

Big Fish [2003]

Good fantasy movies are so rare nowadays. They're either pretentious and slow-moving indie productions or crappy mainstream blunders. Tim Burton directed this great and heartwarming movie, finally making a...
Krabat [2008] Movie Review Recommendation

Krabat [2008]

Directed by Marco Kreuzpaintner and starring Daniel Brühl (Intruders, The Fifth Estate, Rush), this German flick with the story set in the medieval time is very easy to watch. Story is a mixture of German...
Sin City [2005] Movie Review Recommendation

Sin City [2005]

As I'm trying to find words to adequately describe my reaction to this movie, let's get into the details. Directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, Sin City combined their skills into the ultimate pulp...
The Secret of Moonacre [2008] Movie Review Recommendation

The Secret of Moonacre [2008]

Another cute fantasy flick with Tim Curry in one of the lead roles (he is so good playing these characters, evil sorcerers) was just what the doctor ordered on this lazy Sunday afternoon. Classical story of...
Donnie Darko [2001] Movie Review Recommendation

Donnie Darko [2001]

In the middle of this huge wave of commercial blockbusters with explosions, guns and drugs, Donnie Darko appeared out of nowhere and defined the following decade with its strange style. This is basically a...
Inkheart [2008] Movie Review Recommendation

Inkheart [2008]

Based on a novel written by Cornelia Funke, Inkheart is sort of a budget version of a great fantasy movie. Of course, it's not that cheap with a budget of $60 million, so the effects and sets look pretty...
Push [2009] Movie Review Recommendation

Push [2009]

Imagine X-Men done with a different vibe and aimed at younger audiences and you'll have a pretty good idea of what Push really is. Although this sounds pretty harsh, movie is actually quite entertaining,...
The Colour of Magic [2008] Movie Review Recommendation

The Colour of Magic [2008]

I did not know that this is a mini series and I accidentally watched in one go and I can tell you it's really good. It's based on first two books in the Discworld series written by Terry Pratchett and it...
