- DirectorRidley ScottStarsHarrison FordRutger HauerSean YoungA blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.Classic Sci Fi. I haven't watched the movie since i was a kid. Great atmosphere and effects. It is good to see younger H.Ford. Yeah, it's based on Philip K. Dick novel 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?', but remind me (little) of Isaac Asimov Robot series, especially 'Caves of Steel'(great book). 8.5/10
- DirectorAlfonso CuarónStarsJulianne MooreClive OwenChiwetel EjioforIn 2027, in a chaotic world in which women have somehow become infertile, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea.Very good and well made movie 8/10
- DirectorMatt ReevesStarsMike VogelJessica LucasLizzy CaplanA group of friends venture deep into the streets of New York on a rescue mission during a rampaging monster attack.The idea to shot entirely movie with handheld cameras is original but that's all. Not very interesting with few good scenes. The other good thing is that it is short 5/10

- DirectorJohn HughesStarsMatthew BroderickAlan RuckMia SaraA popular high school student, admired by his peers, decides to take a day off from school and goes to extreme lengths to pull it off, to the chagrin of his Dean, who'll do anything to stop him.Great comedy. Funny and original. Much better than most of the new comedies. Mia Sara is a beauty :P.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Ferris 8/10 - DirectorFritz LangStarsBrigitte HelmAlfred AbelGustav FröhlichIn a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working-class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.Amazing visually, great soundtrack and special effects but too long and too boring in some long parts. I thought it will never end 5.5/10

- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJames WoodsDebbie HarrySonja SmitsA programmer at a Toronto TV station that specializes in adult entertainment searches for the producers of a dangerous and bizarre broadcast.Pretty good movie. Again( like in The Fly) the special effects and the make-up in the David Cronenberg's movie are on very high level for 80's 7.5/10
- DirectorNacho VigalondoStarsKarra ElejaldeCandela FernándezBárbara GoenagaA man accidentally gets into a time machine and travels back in time nearly an hour. Finding himself will be the first of a series of disasters of unforeseeable consequences.Great movie. Time travel thrilling. Maybe the acting is little poor.

K. Dallas: "Anybody else want to negotiate?" - DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJude LawJennifer Jason LeighIan HolmA game designer on the run from assassins must play her latest virtual reality creation with a marketing trainee to determine if the game has been damaged.Good movie with great ending and poor acting. The comment on the cover makes me laugh "Makes THE MATRIX Look like Child's Play", also a comments that it's better than 'Inception'. But everyone has their own opinion 7/10
- DirectorFranklin J. SchaffnerStarsCharlton HestonRoddy McDowallKim HunterAn astronaut crew crash-lands on a planet where highly intelligent non-human ape species are dominant and humans are enslaved.Good movie with outstanding make-up and great ending.

RobinsonLeigh Taylor-YoungA nightmarish futuristic fantasy about the controlling power of big corporations and an innocent cop who stumbles on the truth.Pretty good movie with interesting plot and scenes.

It was beauty killed the beast.” 8/10 - DirectorThomas SchlammeStarsRowan AtkinsonAngus DeaytonRowan Atkinson and Angus Deayton in Boston doing a live performance of the same styles of humor we've seen in Mr. Bean and Blackadder.
