What would a Halloween party without a new episode of “Saw”? Saving a miracle, no doubt. This is not the case with the 2010 release of “Saw 3D: The Final Chapter” that exists only to satisfy fans of the genre. It is not because there is much blood that’s good, quite the contrary. There are [...]
True story filmed with sensitivity, “Conviction” is mostly an opportunity to see great comedians give the reply. Conventional in its treatment, but still relevant and inclusive. In order to clear her brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell), Betty Anne Waters (Hilary Swank) has decided to become a lawyer. For 18 years she has worked hard and efforts [...]
Neither increased nor a great cheap wine, the latest film by Woody Allen “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” lets himself look with a wide smile, knowing that in his case, repetition is always very tasteful. Nothing to expand its pool of listeners, but his followers will spend a good time. In Britain, as [...]
Following tinkered too quickly to enjoy the surprise victory of 2009, “Paranormal Activity 2″ uses the same tricks to screw up before the end. As Halloween movie, we should perhaps look elsewhere for entertainment properly. There is probably no genre that sees new versions arrive as quickly as horror. These are often features films that [...]
It had to happen one day. After years of very great films, Clint Eastwood proves he is a man like others, prone to make mistakes.

Robert De Niro and Edward Norton are locked in a duel of words in “Stone”, a feature film that is captivating enough burdening an uneven pace and some poorly developed plot devices.

Thoughtful comedy well but much too soft and harmless, “The Infidel” seeks to create a bridge between two sworn enemies. While the approach is noble, the result is unsatisfactory. Mahmud (Omid Djalili) is not the end of his troubles. Although not the best practitioners, it is proud to be Muslim. He world collapses when he [...]
Several good actors are given an appointment in “Red”, an action comedy without head or tail which still have a good time. Provided, of course, let’s expectations at the entrance of the room. Frank (Bruce Willis) is a former CIA agent. Overnight his head was a price and many people try to kill him. It [...]
The youth of John Lennon is brought to the screen in “Nowhere Boy”, a film a bit too anecdotal unevenly mixing drama and comedy that is ultimately saved by the performance of the actors. To learn more about the man and not the artist or music icon. That’s life tumultuous John Lennon (played successively by [...]
The biopic sticky, romancing and ultimately indigestible is back with “Secretariat” which recalls that Walt Disney is still the gender specialist. Difficult not to love animals as lovable as horses, but probably not enough to go all the faster if there is no real issue film. We must never abandon the race before it is [...]
