Home Chris Sanders The Wild Robot
French: Le Robot sauvage
(3.75)

Vu avec notre fils de 6 ans, qui a beaucoup aimé. C'est très bien fait. Il y a des émotions. L'histoire est relativement originale. La seule chose qui me dérange, finalement, est un problème très fréquent avec les dessins animés / films d'animation : en humanisant les animaux, on n'en rend que plus évident la cruauté et l'absurdité de la vie sauvage/naturelle. Le rapprochement mort/humour est un peu troublant.

Home Alejandro Amenábar The Others
(3.25)

Halfway through the movie, when the husband came back, I understood what was happening. And then, at two thirds of the movie, I realized that it was not the first time I was seeing it... I actually saw it when it came out, 22 years ago! That's quite funny. Anyway, it's not bad, far from it. But it's a very "easy-to-spoil" movie, like the other one with a very similar plot, from two years before.

Home Jean-Luc Godard À bout de souffle
(3.0)

Mon premier Godard. C'est très déroutant. Le côté décousu des dialogues. Le côté un peu "amateur" du tournage. Du côté de la Nouvelle Vague, j'avais bien plus aimé Cléo de 5 à 7 ou Les quatre cents coups. J'avais aussi été... troublé par La Pointe-courte, toujours d'Agnès Varda.

Home Stanley Kubrick The Shining
(4.5)

My first movie in 2 months and one I hadn't seen in 16 years. A recent episode of Very Bad Wizards made me realize that this is a masterpiece that I should watch more often. It's a disturbing, but beautifully filmed movie.

Home Ruben Östlund Triangle of Sadness
(2.5)

I usually like slow movies. Not this time. The end (the part on the island) was pretty good, but the rest was a bit boring. And the captain's dinner scene was awful, of course. I understand what the director tried to do there, but he failed, I think.

Japanese: Tonari no Totoro

My son insisted to watch My Neighbor Totoro again, so I watched it with him, this time. This was the first time I saw it in 14 years. I think I liked it slighty more that the first time.

2024-04-25
Home Terry Gilliam Brazil
(3.75)

My fifth Terry Gilliam movie. I liked the universe he created here. It's like a toy world, with pipes everywhere. It's very original, funny, sad, weird, and frightening at the same time. It's chaotic and poetic.

2024-04-21
Home Hal Ashby Being There
(3.0)

I know that this is a comedy, a sort of critique of the political world, among other things, and that you're supposed to suspend disbelief, but it simply didn't work for me. It could be an excellent short movie, I guess, but here the joke goes on for too long.

2024-04-18
Home Denis Villeneuve Dune: Part Two
(3.75)

An impressive movie, again. Denis Villeneuve is a fantastic director. I just find the Dune universe a bit boring. I hope he won't touch it again after his (rumored?) adaptation of Dune Messiah.

2024-04-14
Home Krzysztof Kieslowski Trois couleurs : Blanc
(3.25)

Again, I didn't care for any of the characters. It's definitely a comedy, at times, but not openly funny and rather dark.

2024-04-01
Home Andrei Tarkovsky Zerkalo
English: Mirror
(3.75)

My third Tarkovsky movie and one I should probably watch again. The fragmented timeline and mix of dreams and memories is something I should be familiar with (e.g. with David Lynch), but they made this movie a bit hard to watch for me.

2024-03-27
Home Christopher Nolan Interstellar
(4.0)

Ten years later, I didn't remember much from the beginning of the movie. I didn't particularly like this idea that we can communicate between the future and the past (or that all times are simultaneously "accessible", like another physical dimension), because, well, it doesn't make any sense, but I liked all the ideas about black holes, wormholes, intergalactic travel, other planets, etc. This is a strangely paradoxical take on the future of humanity, where we have the technology to visit other galaxies and planets, and, at the same time, we don't have the technology to fix things on Earth (geoengineering, etc.). This is another thing that doesn't make sense to me, but, all in all, this is an excellent movie.

2024-03-23
Home Alfonso Cuarón Gravity
(4.0)

I maybe like this movie more than I should. I'm not sure why exactly. First of all, it's a beautiful movie. In 2013, we saw it in 3D (when it was still a thing - is it still a thing?). It's more a movie about loss, acceptance, loneliness, and survival than a movie about space and technology. This is maybe why I like it. I don't particularly like "real science fiction". It usually bores me.

2024-03-21
Home Agnès Varda Cléo de 5 à 7
(4.0)

Le quatrième long métrage d'Agnès Varda que je regarde. J'ai aussi vu cinq de ses courts métrages. J'aime beaucoup sa sensibilité, très touchante. J'aime cette idée de suivre un personnage "en temps réel" durant la durée du film. C'est un exercice de style et à la fois très naturel. L'intervention de Michel Legrand, jouant un rôle de musicien, est amusante. Enfin, les scènes finales, la rencontre avec Antoine, ne sont pas sans rappeler Before Sunset : une rencontre simple, entre deux personnes, qui parlent de tout et se promènent dans une ville. Je peux facilement imaginer que Richard Linklater ait été influencé par Agnès Varda.

Home Todd Field Tár
(4.0)

I watched this movie after seing that Tamler and Dave from Very Bad Wizards dedicated an entire episode to it. So I watched it and then listened to the episode. Without much surprise, I missed a lot of things. It gave me a new perspective on the movie, which I should probably watch again. What's real? What's imagined/remembered? The movie has way more depth than I originally thought.

2024-03-11
Home Richard Kelly Donnie Darko
(3.75)

What a weird movie. I had not heard about it until 2024. Is it a movie about mental illness? A science fiction movie? A movie about paranormal events? It's all of those and it also has a "teen movie" vibe, which, in my book, is not a good thing.

Home Joel Coen & Ethan Coen No Country For Old Men
(4.0)

The first time I watched this movie since 2008. I remember one of the people I was in the theater with being very stressed by some of the scenes. I can now see why. Violence aside, the film is excellent. Very gripping. Also more open-ended than expected.

2024-03-03
Home Andrei Tarkovsky Stalker
(4.25)

Hearing Tamler and Dave from the Very Bad Wizards podcast discuss this movie made me watch it again, after watching it for the first time in 2021. This is a masterpiece, full of mystery, weirdly beautiful, disturbing, poetic. I don't know what it means exactly, but I know that movies are supposed to move you like Stalker does. This is what cinema is about.

2024-02-24
Home M. Night Shyamalan The Sixth Sense
(4.0)

This was the second time I saw The Sixth Sense. The first time was in 2000, when the movie came out. I had never forgotten the plot twist, so watching the movie a second time, even 24 years later, was a special experience. I was more in an "analyzing" mode, somehow. The movie is still very good, I think, but it's definitely not one you want to watch often.

2024-02-24
Home Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred JacksonHamilton Luske Alice in Wonderland
French: Alice au pays des merveilles
(3.5)

I read the book in December 2023. We watched the movie with our 5-year-old son. Visually, the film is good, but I'm just not a fan of the story. Many elements are absurd, but maybe not absurd or mysterious enough. Nothing's really funny either. And at the end, "it's just all a dream", so nothing really matters, right?

Home Nishikant Kamat Drishyam

I was prepared not to like this movie, because it's one of those Indian movies that keep entering and exiting the IMDb Top 250. I was pleasantly surprised. It's both clever and entertaining. The moral questions it raises are not completely obvious.

2024-02-02
Galeries, Lausanne Yorgos Lanthimos Poor Things
(4.0)

A disturbing experience, for sure. I still don't know what to think of it. Visually, this film is stunning. The music and sounds were definitely not pleasant. The sex scenes were also hard to watch. Not much eroticism here. I think I saw about 6-7 persons leave before the end of the film.

Obviously not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, but I didn't "connect" with it, somehow. No space to breathe. Too many people talking all the time. Too much information.

2023-09-28
Home Yann Samuell Jeux d'enfants
(2.5)

A perfect case of form over substance. The main characters are perfectly unpleasant. The story doesn't really make sense. Anyway, this happens to be the movie my wife and I saw during our first date, on September 28, 2003. We had never watched it again since. We probably won't watch it again.

2023-09-14
Home T.J. Gnanavel Jai Bhim
(3.75)

Some important themes: police violence, corruption, caste discrimination, etc. It took me a while to get into the film. All in all, a rather entertaining film. I was not a fan of the "lawyer as a superhero" imagery.

2023-09-09
Home Wes Anderson Asteroid City
(3.75)

The consensus seems to be that this is a case of style over substance, that it looks like a cliché of a Wes Anderson movie, etc. I understand where these criticisms are coming from, but I wouldn't be as harsh. To me, it almost felt like a series of paintings. I liked the slow pace. The casting was also impressive, of course. Unlike Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, this is a film I'd happily watch a second time.

2023-09-06
Home Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers & Justin K. Thompson Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
(3.75)

Visually, this movie is absolutly stunning. I really liked the previous Spider-Verse movie (2019), so I was prepared to like this one as well. I don't know if it was the fact that I was tired when watching it, but this film felt a bit too "dense" to me. Somes scenes contained too much "information": too many things to look at, too many special effects, too many things to listen to. It was a bit overwhelming. Maybe I should try to watch it again, but, at the same time, I don't feel the need to see this film again, unlike others.

2023-08-27
Home Hayao Miyazaki Gake no ue no Ponyo
French: Ponyo sur la falaise
(3.5)

My 5-year-old son's second Miyazaki movie, after My Neighbor Totoro, which he saw with my wife. Ponyo is clearly more children-oriented. It is still imbued with Miyazaki's themes/poetry, but it is not as breathtaking as some of his other films.

I think I must I've seen Gattaca when it came out in 1997 (it's currently missing in my list, for some reasons). The issues raised by this film are still relevant today, but there's something missing to make it a true science fiction classic.

Home Tom McCarthy Spotlight

Not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, but a rather "dry" one, in the sense that it's informative. You really feel that it's a film inspired by true events and that it doesn't aspire to be entertaining or shocking.

Home Ron Howard Rush
(3.5)

I watched this film just a couple of weeks after watching Ford v Ferrari. Both movies are about racing and competition. Both are based on a true story. They obviously share a lof of common elements. I guess Ford v Ferrari was slightly more entertaining and less realistic (?). All in all, not really my cup of tea, but quite entertaining.

Another movie that I found hard to watch (the third this month), but that I liked. I was not really familiar with the Rwandan genocide. Up until now, it was just an abstraction. Seeing what it actually means, although only partially, is devasting.

Home Mel Gibson Hacksaw Ridge
(3.5)

Desmond Doss is a true hero, but, in the movie, he's often an insufferable character (to me at least). The way he naively clings to his principles, without thinking about the consequences of his acts, is frustrating. The combat scenes are also hard to watch. I guess they're very realistic, which means that they're very gory/violent. All in all, I can't say I enjoyed this movie a lot, although it's technically a good movie.

(3.5)

As a fan of The Shining and Stanley Kubrick in general, I was drawn to Doctor Sleep because I heard that some scenes/places from The Shining were visually recreated in it, which is indeed the case. It's an interesting exercise, although it's a bit weird to see different actors than Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, etc. Other than that, I guess the story is okay. The action is a bit slow and it's hard to really care about any of the characters. As a parent, I found it hard to watch the scene where the boy was murdered, though.

I really like post-apocalyptic movies. This one has just the right balance of plausible elements and pure zombie/horror-movie aspects. I didn't remember much from my first viewing in 2003, but the story is really satisfying. It's definitely less depressing than The Road or A Quiet Place. The scenes with an empty London are impressive (just like the scene with an empty Times Square in Vanilla Sky).

Home Peter Weir The Truman Show
(3.75)

I really liked this movie when I saw it in 1998 and 2008. This time, I watched it dubbed in French with my parents. It was a less pleasing experience. The dubbing (like all dubbings) is awful, but I was also less convinced by Jim Carrey's acting and I spent some of the movie pondering about the plausibility of the whole affair (actors spending decades playing the same role, possibly with no or little personal life, etc.). Yes, I know, the movie is supposed to be more of a comedy, critical of television and viewers alike, but I couldn't help it.

I first saw Sunshine in 2007, when it was released. It's almost an excellent science fiction movie, but something's missing. You don't really care about any of the characters. Also, the very premise of the movie, i.e. the fact that the mission has to involve a human crew and could not be entirely automated, is fishy at best.

I saw Vanilla Sky twice in 2002. I especially remember the impressive opening scene (Times Square, etc.) and the John Coltrane hologram. All in all, this is a thought-provoking movie. It's a bit reminiscent of Matrix: would you rather live a simulated and happy life, or a real life?

I find some movies hard to watch, but they somehow change me or leave me with the feeling that I might revisit them someday in the future (e.g. La bataille d'Alger). Some movies are entertaining, but I forget everything about them a few weeks/months later. Top Gun: Maverick falls in that category. It's not bad. It's well done. It's fun. But it's pretty forgettable as well.

I became obsessed with that movie when I was 10 years old. I recorded it on VHS tape (or my brother did) when it was broadcast on FR3 on December 17, 1990. I don't know if I watched it only once then or multiple times. Anyway, I had probably not watched it in 31 years. I since learnt the context in which it was filmed (Natalie Wood's death, Douglas Trumbull's "retirement" after the movie, etc.). Yes, it has its faults and I'm not a fan of the hell/heaven scene, but it's still an intriguing and entertaining movie.

I'm a Prince fan, so I know it's sung by Jevetta Steele, who worked with Prince between 1989 and 1994 (often as part of The Steeles). The movie itself kind of disappointed me. I liked the overall tone and cinematography, but the comedic/light elements were a bit off-putting.

The whole scene was shot from very far, so you don't see much, but it left me with that idea that, no, nature is not only beautiful. It is also violent and cruel. Animals spend almost their whole lifes surviving, eating other animals, or being eaten. The rest of the movie is quite different. It is peaceful and beautiful. It inspires us to stop our crazy lives and reconnect (even only a little) with nature.

I wanted to like this movie, but, having finished the book just a couple of weeks before, this was a weird experience. Truffaut's adaptation was very different than the "eerie and dream-like images" the book conjured up in my mind. Too concrete, I guess. The book works as a symbolic story.

This is not something that should happen in the name of art. Some young children were also apparently quite shocked during one other scene. I'm wondering how many hours of psychotherapy were needed by some of the actors who played in that movie...

I needed a break from all those top 250 IMDb movies I've been watching recently, so I consciously chose a movie with a lower IMDb rating. The beginning of the movie is very dark, but the rest of the movie is really bright, in a weird way. It contrasts with what actually happens on the screen. It's a good idea, because it kind of catches you off guard. I'm not really familiar with the horror genre, but, unfortunately, it becomes obvious quite quickly that Midsommar borrows heavily from other similar movies. More than that, once you've watched the first half of the movie (let's say until the cliff scene), the rest becomes predictable. Also, most of the characters completely lack depth and some (most?) of the dialogues are badly written (that's something that struck me right from the beginning).

I was convinced that I had seen this movie multiple times before, but, apparently, I only saw it in 2004. Anyway, I really loved it at the time and I still think it's an excellent movie. I've been wanting to see it again for years and it's finally one of the latest episodes of the Very Bad Wizard podcast which convinced me that I had to do it (like, now). It's Michel Gondry's best feature film and it's probably the best movie starring either Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, or Kirsten Dunst. It asks an important question (what is memory?), but it's the cinematography that I really love about it.

The story is original (and/or far-fetched), but, as you can expect from Wes Anderson, it doesn't look like anything else. Is it a movie with more style than substance, as some reviews suggest? Maybe, but it doesn't matter: it kind of already was the case with most of Anderson's previous movies.

This is definitely not a feel-good movie. I was not particularly touched or moved by the themes (addiction, drugs, mental illness, etc.), but the cinematography is absolutely stunning.

Watching this movie was like watching two movies: one is a contemplative movie about Italy, summer vacations, music, books, swimming in rivers, drinking wine, living in a big old house with someone cooking for you, etc.; the other one is about a 17-year old Jewish boy discovering his sexuality and finding out that he's also attracted to men. It's raw. It's sad. It's tragic. It was also refreshing to go back to the 80s, a world without smartphones, constant interruptions, computers everywhere.

Based on the 10th-century Japanese Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, this hand-drawn animation movie is really something else. Very elegant, mysterious, touching, almost Zen-like. Yes, maybe a bit too slow at times. It's a tale about the innocence and simplicity of childhood, what society and sometimes our families expect from us, and nostalgia for things we might have already forgotten. The ending is surprisingly almost science-fiction-esque, but more in a 2001: A Space Odyssey way than a Star Wars way.

Another classic. Times have changed and, at the same time, many people are still doing meaningless and repetitive jobs. Many suffer from burnout. Many struggle to even get a job. Micromanagement is still a thing (the factory's boss appearing on those big screens is frightening). Also, work automation is something that has never been as discussed as nowadays. In that sense, the scenes in the factory, in particular, are timeless as much as they're hilarious.

It's hard to judge a 87-year old silent movie. What's also hard is to realize that what you see in that movie happened 87 years ago, because most things look pretty familiar. Yes, people don't have smartphones, but they have passionate discussions, drive cars, walk on the street, sell flowers, go to restaurants, drink alcool, dance, etc. The characters are attaching. The comic elements still work. Each scene looks like a mini-movie in itself. It really deserves its classic status.

According to IMDb and Metacritic, Toy Story 2 is supposed to be good, but not as good as Toy Story. I actually found that Toy Story 2 is just as good, if not better than Toy Story. At this point, the Toy Story universe is not new anymore, but the themes (the toy collector, Buzz Lightyear actually meeting other "copies" of himself, Woody discovering his backstory, the moral dilemma, etc.) were quite original and interesting.

One of the best movies I've seen recently! It's sad, funny, revolting, and somewhat disturbing. I can totally relate to Mildred, her fight against injustice/status quo, and her desire for revenge. I would classify this movie in the "manipulative movie" category, like Dancer in the Dark or Grave of the Fireflies. It's designed to make you cry and to make you angry, but it was done in a clever way (i.e. I don't feel cheated).

A story about jealousy and friendship. From a technical point of view, this movie has aged well. Some characters (e.g. the dog) are a bit rough from a 2018 standpoint, but it's actually pretty impressive for a computer-animated film done in 1995. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but is it also a movie about the roles we play in our lives without realizing it? In other words, are we toys who don't realize we're toys? Is the scene with Buzz Lightyear realizing that he's a mass-produced toy and not an actual astronaut a metaphor for the human condition (i.e. we feel unique/original when we're actually just one individual among billions of very similar persons)? I apparently saw this movie in 2006, but I didn't remember much from it.

(4.0)

I discovered Richard Linklater a few years ago with Boyhood, which blew my mind. I've always wanted to see more of his movies. Having finally seen Before Sunrise, I definitely want to see Before Sunset and Before Midnight as well. There are several subjective reasons why I enjoyed this movie. I didn't know anything about the plot, the caracters, etc. It's almost a perfect coincidence, but we watched Before Sunrise on February 10, 2018 and the only time I've ever been to Vienna was on February 11-15, 2008. And, yes, the movie takes place in Vienna. Another thing was that the movie, although it was filmed in 1994, was released in 1995 and this was the year I discovered another European capital as a teenager, with my classmates: Paris. The result is that I can relate to several aspects of the movie: the period (mid-90s), the young caracters discovering a European city, wondering about what it means to live, to love, etc. Can things be meaningful if they don't last? Are they meaningful because they don't last? At the end, it's still a romance movie, but it's definitely not overromantic and the form of the movie (two caracters talking for more than 90 minutes, walking in a city) makes it quite original. It's simple. It captures a moment in time in an authentic way. It's captivating.

(3.5)

I'm maybe a bit harsh with my rating. Technically, it's a fantastic movie. Very colorful. The city in the Land of the Dead is spectacular. Some of the themes are nice, I guess. You have to respect your family and, at the same time, you have to follow your passions. So your family might be wrong. But what about the afterlife, though? This is mainly a movie for children, after all. I know this is not a movie you're supposed to take seriously (obviously), but this is the central theme in the movie: after they die, people go to the Land of the Dead, they get to meet the people that have already died, and everybody is happy (more or less). There's still so much religious bullshit in the world today that I can't simply be entertained by this theme/idea (whereas I have no problem watching a Star Wars movie - people usually don't believe that Star Wars is true in the real world...). Like religion in real life, religious ideas in Coco don't make much sense, of course. People in the Land of the Dead who are forgotten by their family completely disappear. But if they "die for real" (which will happen eventually after 4-5 generations, apparently, because families can't have photos of older family members...), why didn't they die for real in the first place? It's like the idea of God: if you really think about it, it doesn't explain anything. It just moves the problem a bit farther. Anyway, a nice movie, but I didn't like the main theme. As of December 29, 2017, it's #30 in IMDb's top 250. It shouldn't be so high in the list, in my opinion.

Clearly a better movie than The Terminator, but it still has a linear story and shallow characters. The special effects are better, this time, but, once again, it's a movie about a robot from the future trying to kill a boy. With car/truck chases. And people getting killed, but less of them, I guess. Oh, and there's a second robot. It's nice, this time. But pretty stupid, with no sense of humor or morality. It learns something at the end of the movie, though. I'm not sure what. That life can have... value? There's an interesting question being raised at some point: can you be guilty of something that you haven't done yet? There's also a romantic side to this movie: humans can get attached to robots, robots can almost feel emotions, and it's not necessarily the best robot (from a technological point of view) that wins at the end (i.e. you can still succeed with flaws).

I've been familiar with Miles Davis' music for this movie for 25-30 years, but it was the first time I saw it. I've seen excerpts from it, but only a couple of minutes. I was also familiar with the titles on the soundtrack album ("L'Assassinat de Carala", "Sur L'Autoroute", etc.). It was a weird experience finally seing all those scenes. My verdict? It was not the movie I expected. The music is fantastic, hence my high rating, but I can't see it as a timeless classic. I can forgive the technical limitations (sound effects, sound quality, etc.). We're in 1957, after all. But the plot and dialogues are somewhat limited and naive, to the point of being (involuntarily) funny at times, which is not a good thing. A lot of the scenes are beautifully shot, though.

This is a classic. I must admit I had probably never seen this movie before, at least in its entirety. I've heard about it. I knew the story. I knew the quotes. The problem with the classics is that they're hard to judge, especially when it comes to special effects. The ones in The Terminator looks like they're not even good for 1984 (sloppy stop motion, etc.). The story is really linear: a robot comes from the future to kill a woman who will give birth to a man who will fight the robots in the future; he's really hard to kill. Then you have a lot of car/truck chases and a lot of people getting killed. And there's one sex scene, of course. It's not a bad movie, though. It's probably even original for its time.

The picture was gorgeous. The sound was not too bad (but could have been better). The performance is still excellent, after all those years, even though I know that 80% of what we saw was reshoot at Paisley Park.

A serious topic. Some violence. Some sad scenes. I cried at the end. It sometimes feels like a dissertation, but it has the merit of trying to explain how white supremacists think.

The message might be a bit over-simplistic, but it is still strong.

The music is haunting. The closeups are beautiful. I really liked the striking contrast between the slow, almost meditative scenes and the surprising leaps in the story.

"This means something. It's important." It has always been hard for me to judge science fiction movies. The special effects are not too bad, even 40 years later. Seeing all this old technology (fixed phones, CB radios, paper maps, etc.) can be funny at times, but it's not distracting. The story takes place in the 70s, after all. The presence of François Truffaut is a bit weird. What does a French movie director do in a Steven Spielberg movie? But it also gives the movie a certain charm. Overall, I liked the poetic tone of the movie (the repeated music pattern, the symbolism of the mountain, etc.). The theme of language and interspecies communication has been treated in a more scientific and satisfying way in Arrival, for example, but Spielberg's take on this theme is still good, I think.

I'm not sure Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces is completely consistent. It's a whole movie made out of deleted scenes, after all. So it's good to go back to the Twin Peaks universe, but, at the same time, it makes the fact that the third season of the show is the best of all the movies/seasons even more obvious.

It's a movie that doesn't have the level of sophistication that recent movies can have, but, at the same time, I was hooked from start to finish. The fact that it was filmed in a studio gives it a certain charm, too.

This is an excellent movie about magic, obsession, rivalry, death, identity, and, I guess, science (David Bowie as Tesla is very good).

And I don't want to brag, but I anticipated the final twist way before Nolan probably intended the audience to understand it, but that's because I'm obsessed with the philosophy of personal identity and related topics (mind uploading, teleportation, etc.).

It's about what we want in our lives, about our dreams. So it's a bit cliché and the movie is probably not as good as many people say it is. "Whiplash" was better. But it's a good movie nevertheless.

"Ressemble vaguement à du David Lynch, mais en plus brouillon, plus maladroit, moins complexe et [avec] une explication définitivement surnaturelle révélée à la fin. Étrange d’entendre la musique de Marcus [Miller] et Miles [Davis] dans ce contexte."

National Treasure
(3.0)

Les méchants sont très méchants, limite horripilants. Les gentils résolvent les énigmes avec une facilité déconcertante. Le tout sur un fond d'histoire américaine, un peu trop lourd à mon goût. C'est plein de rebondissements et, somme toute, assez divertissant, mais ça manque cruellement d'auto-dérision.

(2.5)

Ce film manque de relief. J'ai eu l'impression de revoir la même scène tout au long du film, comme si les personnages joués par Isabelle Huppert et Catherine Frot n'évoluaient pas et se disaient toujours la même chose. Pour une comédie, ça n'est pas très drôle et ça manque de dynamisme.

"[U]n film qui n'a rien d'un chef-d'œuvre, mais dont j'avais déjà souvent entendu parlé. C'est en effet de ce film que Prince a tiré le fameux chant que l'on retrouve, principalement, dans le morceau "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night". Je dois avouer que c'est la seule motivation qui m'a poussé à suivre ce film en entier."
