Movie top list: 1001 to 1025
The Graduates
"It's a pretty good film for newcomers and hardened fans alike. The film is accessible, has enough drama for those not quite used to the slow pacing and leaves enough room for meandering thoughts."
Heavenly Forest
"Tada, Kimi Wo Aishiteru is a sweet, cute, good-natured and hopelessly naive little film."
Eyes of the Spider
"The soundtrack is nice, the rhythm of the film is pretty unique and the bold approach to cutting up the story line is a refreshing change. Kurosawa proves himself an interesting director."
Taipei 24H
"After a somewhat slow start Taipei 24h gets up to steam and doesn't let down again."
Halfway
"In the end Halfway is a film primarily made for existing fans of the genre. It's a very good, solid entry in the genre but does little to cross any existing boundaries."
Turn Left Turn Right
"Turn Left, Turn Right is a simple, light-hearted drama, but conceptually quite strong and pure. The film demands that you go along with its concept and leave it at that."
Ip Man 3
"Wilson Yip did well to wait a couple of years before making this third instalment. Yip Man 3 is a worthy successor, in every way possible."
Inland Empire
"Inland Empire is still a pretty interesting film and if you've enjoyed Lynch's older films it won't be too much of a disappointment. But expect crappy video quality and less than preferable visuals."
Acolytes
"Acolytes could've failed in many ways, but in the end it didn't, which is quite the accomplishment."
Tales from the Dark Part 2
"Tales From The Dark 2 turned out to be a neat surprise."
Alone
"Fans of Shutter should really try and find this film as there is little that can disappoint them."
Secret
"Feels a bit poppy and maybe a bit too flimsy, apart from that it's one big solid romance with a pretty cool twist and a magnificent ending leaving you pretty fulfilled after the film has finished."
Room 205
"Still, Barnewitz execution is almost flawless and if you're still looking for some good Asian suspense fun, even though it comes from Denmark, Kollegiet is a pretty safe bet."
7 Days
"Les 7 Jour du Talion is another great entry in the Francophone wave of modern horror films."
Sun Scarred
"Part drama, part subdued revenge, which a big finger pointing at the passive attitude of many instances and people in this film, the film impresses until the very end."
The Parades
"The fantasy-fueled drama offers a warm and endearing premise, but the lovely cinematography combined with some strong performances lift the film."
The Seaside Motel
"It's definitely not the best entry in the genre, but it's a very welcome addition for those craving fresh meat."
Flowers in the Shadow
"If you liked Always - Sunset On Third Street I'm pretty confident to recommend this film, if not it might be better to catch that film first."
Phobia 2
"Phobia is a good start for people interested in Thai horror, though it does lack the truly gory stuff that resides in many of it's full-length competitors."
The House
"The House is not the most chilling film ever made, nor the most touching."
Firestorm
"Yuen clearly saved the best for last here and it paid off. The film has no apparent lows, but it has one sprawling high at the very end which left me quite impressed."
Lars and the Real Girl
"Lars and the Real Girl is rare gem blending dry humor with well-dosed drama and a feel-good vibe. Many people seem to miss the humor but I've been smiling and laughing throughout the whole film."
A Long Walk
"That said, the film left me with a very contented and warm feeling."
Snow White: The Sequel
"The film is pretty short and rightfully so. A joke can only be stretched that far, and when you start getting used to the tone of the film the fun slowly fades."
Wheat
"Everyone looking for a more toned-down, stylish yet amusing war film should have a go at it. Remember that the first half our is a bit rough around the edges, things will get only better after that."
