Better Than Blade Runner, Unique and Well-Acted.

I am one of the original oficionados of Blade Runner. This means that when no one thought it was worth a $&*&, I was already lost inside of it. Here was a film that investigated so many deep things and yet... it entertained. Natural City is possibly even better, but this is 2008. We have ...

20th Century Fox, 2002

What other movies about Y2K were so much fun?

+ Strange Sizzle N Sparks
+ Good "Drug" movie

I loved this movie, if nothing else because it is one of the few times that Ralph Fiennes leaves behind the glacial, remote,untouchable persona of so many of his roles. Yeah,he's kind of greasy at first, but by the end, his eyes are so soft,his face so emotive with love for his friend and ...

THX 1138

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

It's about more than emotion vs. science

+ intriguing
+ Mesmerising, bleak

I saw this movie some years ago and liked it a lot. What I remember most about it is something that is not mentioned in the last ten or so reviews: that it is not only government that has taken away liberties in this dystopian world, but also, and critically, private corporations. Every ...
