Hugo (2011)

Hugo is an orphan who lives in the ceiling of a train station in Paris and takes care of the mechanical clocks.

"Hugo" is an adventure film for the family, but it is experienced as a fantasy film. Martin Scorsese chose an unusual subject and built a magical story. Asa Butterfield is wonderful in the role of the silent Hugo, and Ben Kingsley enriches any cast.

Director:  Martin Scorsese       

With: Asa Butterfield, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Lee, Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ray Winstone, Helen McCrory, Emily Mortimer, Richard Griffiths

Rating: 9/10

Relic (2020)

A family composed of a mother, a daughter and the grandmother are the victims of some supernatural manifestations that have an unexpected significance.

Relic is a really different horror movie. It's original, intriguing, and very enigmatic up to the end. The mystery and confusion are persistent, but without becoming excessive and frustrating. The ending and the explanation have a more pensive effect and a metaphorical significance and will not be easily forgotten.

Director:  Natalie Erika James    

With: Robyn Nevin, Emily Mortimer, Bella Heathcote, Steve Rodgers

Rating: 9/10

Mary (2019)

Tatal unei familii in afaceri cu barci risca economiile pentru a investi intr-o barca cu o istorie sinistra.

Film de groaza de duzina mascat sub eticheta de "film cu Gary Oldman" pentru a masca dezinteresul pentru gen in favoarea unui profit rapid. O poveste nepusa in valoare prin nimic, cu efecte horror cliseice si un final ce copie alte filme de succes. Monstrul nu e un complet dezastru dar nu salveaza nimic din efectul total.

Regia: Michael Goi

Cu: Gary Oldman, Emily Mortimer, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Stefanie Scott, Jennifer Esposito

Rating: 4/10
