Movie toplist: 976 to 1000
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."
Keane
"Thanks to Damien Lewis' stellar performance, a very visceral style of direction, and a sublime finale the film hits like a sledgehammer, which I can only applaud."
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."
The Disappearance of Alice Creed
"That said, the final act is still pretty tense and enjoyable and does little to eclipse the first hour."
Heavenly Forest
"Tada, Kimi Wo Aishiteru is a sweet, cute, good-natured and hopelessly naive little film."
The Men who Stare at Goats
"Genuinely funny big budget American comedies are very hard to come by."
Nobody Knows
"The overall quality is well above average, with peaks for the performances and the narrative drama, slowly working itself up to an emotional crescendo without ever getting sentimental."
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."
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."
A Long Walk
"That said, the film left me with a very contented and warm feeling."
Acolytes
"Acolytes could've failed in many ways, but in the end it didn't, which is quite the accomplishment."
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone
"In the end I Don't Want To Sleep Alone is another typical Tsai film, with some slight experimentations that are in no way big enough to attract new viewers or to push away existing fans."
Blood
"Visually luscious, a cool take on the vampire genre and some nifty set pieces are more than enough for Blood to fly through its economic running time."
[Rec] 4: Apocalypse
"I always assumed Rec 4 was going to be the last film in the series, but Balaguero didn't really wrap things up after all, leaving plenty of room for possible sequels to come."
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."
Mr. Jones
"It's a selection of small details that lift this film above the rest for me."
Alone
"Fans of Shutter should really try and find this film as there is little that can disappoint them."
Afro Samurai: Resurrection
"If you're up for some good solid fun and don't have too much trouble neglecting the grating dub and soundtrack, there is plenty of amusement to be had from this film."
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."
Hole in the Sky
"Hole In The Sky is slow-paced cinema. There isn't much happening in terms of dramatic events, the characters are rigid and introvert and odd behavior is often taken for granted."
St. John's Wort
"It is far from a perfect film, maybe not a film that will stay with you for a very long time, but it sure sticks out from the rest."
The Unforgiving
"If you're up for a no-bullshit horror/thriller, you can't really go wrong with The Unforgiving."
Gratitude
"The soundtrack and visuals wrap themselves around the audience like a warm blanket while the drama slowly unfolds and runs its course. Fans of the genre will feel right at home"
Seventh Moon
"It's a shame that Sanchez couldn't get the camera work right, otherwise Seventh Moon could've been a contender of films like [Rec] and Blair Witch."
