Hi Folks,

 

I've just watched "Star Fighter" this evening on a streaming website.

This movie is about the story of the famous Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, bought by the Federal Republic of Germany in the mid 60's, and the reputation that got her named "the widowmaker".

Although, the movie is quite romanced, I found it interesting to watch and I really enjoyed it since I haven't seen time passing by.

Unfortunatly, I could not find any English trailer :

 

 

I hope you'll be able to enjoy it as I did.

I'm not quite sure what to make of the film, and its story.

 

But movies about teenage professional killers are always fun. :)

 

Also, the lead actress is amazing, I guess we'll see a lot more from her in the years to come (unless she decides to go the drug abuse and excessive everything way that so often comes with young age and too much fame... time will tell).

I don't enjoy any X-Men-like movies anymore and I simply hate Hollywood jolly movies but this movie got me by surprise and is easily one of the best movies I've seen this year! And yes, this is pretty much a comedy. It even contains parodies of some of the common cliches I hate! :)

The Hunter

 

 

The trailer doesn't do the film justice. Let me just say this: It's a great movie, very intense, with beautiful landscapes, and a good plot that doesn't follow your typical Hollywood movie. Just don't watch it when you're in a bad mood to begin with.

Mystic River

 

 

I just watched it for the first time. It's a slow paced movie, very intelligent. It'll mislead you, but never in an unfair, Deus ex machina type of way. The cast is amazing, and Clint Eastwood's directing is superb. It wouldn't be far fetched to call this a masterpiece of film making, definitely worth spending the almost 2 1/2 hours it takes.

Long day - Terminator 1 and 2. :)

 

 

 

Thank divine entities for Netflix - I believe this may have been the very fist time I watched Terminator 1 uncut.

 

I was surprised that Terminator 2 is, to this day, a pretty epic continuation of one of the greatest movies of all times. Edward Furlong was brilliant in it, and the story is pretty clever.

 

Of course not anyone agrees, though... :D

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, another stupid time travel movie, and because of 12 Monkeys of course it stars Bruce Willis" I heard myself think two hours ago. Well. It's a great movie, and I'm glad I didn't listen to myself back then. ;)

Classic Independent film, by someone who cared and combined hap-kido and Jung, whilst exposing so much wrong

Drive

 

Didn't expect much, since it started like a "Transporter" clone.

 

But it's actually a really good movie IMO. Directing, camera, music, actors, all of these are superb, even though the story isn't that intriguing. Balances a fine line between art and action, and doesn't tumble.

The previous movie was good but nothing compared to the novel it was based on.

Haven't read the book yet (shame on me, I know :music_whistling:), but this movie actually sounds intriguing. Gosling is an amazing actor, and having Ford pick up his role is pretty cool. Guess I'll watch it once it's available on Netflix here some three or so years from now. ;)
