Directed by Michel Gondry, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my favorite romantic movie of all-time. Starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet as the two main characters, the highly acclaimed script was written by Charlie Kaufman, Gondry and Pierre Bismuth.

Movie Review: Timecrimes (2007)
Where are the time-traveling movies Hollywood? Yes, there was the moving The Time Traveler’s Wife back in August but it was more of a romance movie with less emphasis on the sci-fi and then after that, we basically have to go back to The Butterfly Effect (2004) and Donnie Darko (2001) for some decent time-travel brainstorming. It is thus needless to say that I was giddy to discover Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes), a Spanish sci-fi thriller directed by Nacho Vigalondo.
Movie review: Battle Royale (2000)
I heard some great things about Battle Royale among which Quentin Tarantino named it his favorite movie since 1992 and it has become a full-blown cult movie so I decided to give this a try. Directed by Kinji Fukasaku, Battle Royale is set in a near-futuristic dystopian Japan where the economy is doing poorly and teenage delinquency is out of control.

Movie Review: The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009)
The Time Traveler’s Wife is a romantic drama directed by Robert Schwentke, adapted from Audrey Niffenegger’s bestseller of the same name.

Overall, the movie has some significant directing and screenwriting flaws but does make for an unpretentious and above-average romantic tragedy thanks to its two compelling leads.
Movie Preview: The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009)
The Time Traveler’s Wife has been shoved around the post-production pipeline for a year now and it finally looks like it will come out this summer. I’m making a small space for it because I read the hugely popular book by Audrey Niffenegger a while back and was really fascinated by all the possibilities of [...]
Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)
I just saw the latest Star Trek, directed by JJ Abrams. Needless to say it brings new life to the old franchise of the same name. First of all, aside from basic common knowledge, I’ve never been a Star Trek fan, never seen any of the previous movies (apparently, there was 10!!!) or even a [...]
Movie Review: Cloverfield (2008)
Cloverfield has been clouded by secrecy since its trailer appeared with the opening of box office smash Transformers last summer. Directed by Matt Reeves, the movie puts its audience in the shoes of nearly helpless bystanders who witness the attack of New York City by a gargantuan monster.
