The story of a religious fanatic who does not hesitate to take up the sword for the glory of God and for whom the desire for a normal life is alien. It is hard to believe that this film was made mainly to use the costumes from Markéta Lazarová. The Valley of the Bees is equally exquisite, oozing the atmosphere of the 13th century, and Zdeněk Liška's music is unique as always.

Already the opening shot of De Niro's tattoos on a chiseled body gives us a hint that we are going to see something interesting. Scorsese is back on his game and this remake easily surpasses its black and white predecessor. It's worth seeing, if only for the scene where De Niro as a supposedly bohemian teacher seduces Julliete Lewis – what she does is fabulous acting. I'd give it five stars, but the ending is unfortunately stupid, drawn out in the classic Hollywood way.

An action blast with revolutionary visual effects never seen before. Five stars for the T-1000 and its metamorphosis, five stars for the vision of nuclear war, three stars for the script, as well as for some scenes that were too militant for my taste (Arnie vs. a column of police cars). But to overlook the fact that this film meant so much to the development of filmmaking technology and visual effects would be a great sin. Therefore, the only and correct rating is for five, it’s just awesome!

Colin Firth looks too slick, lacking the devilish sparkle that Malkovich has in Frears's version. The whole film is surprisingly bland, without much emotion. Forman lost the direct contest with Frears commercially and, unfortunately, artistically.

It's not badly shot at all, the storm scene proves that this is a Scott film. But the rest? A story not worthy of a master of grand spectacles and original art stylization. That said, I can recommend it as a film to kill an evening.

An exhibition by De Palma, where he delights film fans with various references to famous works of the past (Battleship Potemkin and others). The biggest star is not the Oscar-winning Connery, but the secondary character of Al Capone, phenomenally played by Robert De Niro.

A great comic-book adaptation that combines elite Shakespearean actors, Hollywood celebrities, Singer's skillful direction and great visual effects. The casting is flawless, especially Wolverine and Toad.

The irresistibly dark atmosphere of a crowded metropolis at the end of the millennium, when people are emotionally entertained by illegal virtual projections. The anticipation of the year 2000 gives the film a different dimension, and even though today we know that the century wasn’t that big a deal and that not much has changed, it is an interesting work of fiction. Produced by James Cameron.

It's a stale theme with Russian mobsters, but it's got a lot of spice and it's fun to watch, especially Elizabeth Shue. I would also like her to keep me warm, like Val Kilmer. :)

Incredibly psychologically depressing for its time, brutal in places, especially in the second half (I think it was the only Soviet film that was released in cinemas under the Bolshevik regime with the rating "No access to children under 18!"), an extremely impressive film from the time of the Nazi extermination campaign in the Soviet Union. A little boy's family is murdered and he joins the partisans. After the opening, somewhat drawn-out half-hour, Klimov begins to emotionally pummel the viewer with such vigour that it's borderline unbearable in places. During filming, a psychiatrist was constantly by the boy lead's side to make sure that the psychologically demanding filming did not take a toll on his mental health – without success, though. In terms of direction, it’s brilliant. There are two scenes I’ll never forget, the first is when the protagonist walks through his native village, which had been massacred by the Nazis a few days before. There are no naturalistic shots, only subtle, frightening hints, and a single glance through the camera, as if in passing, illuminates the horrific reality. And the second scene at the end, a scene that went down in film history: the slaughter of a Belarusian village by SS troops, and the burning of its inhabitants in a nearby barn. The ghetto-clearing scene in Spielberg's Schindler's List doesn’t come even close. It’s hard to describe, you have to see it. An unforgettable experience.
