« Atonement
Joe Wright, 2007

★★★★★
one of my very favorite movies. it is visually stunning, brilliantly acted, real and persuasive.

Shame
Steve McQueen, 2011
★★★★☆½
michael was so brilliant in the role, especially in moments when he comes to frantic realizations of his misery. but apparently mcqueen thinks by showing explicit stuff, he's doing something daring.

The Tree of Life
Terrence Malick, 2011

"Quote"

*Romeo + Juliet
Nenni Delmestre, 2011

★★★★☆
this could have been so good, but it turned out pretty solid. goran marković as montecchi and anastasija jankovska as julia - WORTH IT FOR THE CAST ALONE

*A Dangerous Method
David Cronenberg, 2011

★★☆☆☆½
fine performances by Michael and Viggo but the movie is told in an extremely dry and boring manner which is a complete put off.

The Descendants
Alexander Payne, 2011

★★★☆☆
touching movie that has its moments but is largely overrated. perhaps I was expecting too much due to the press and two golden globes (!!)

*Napoli/Carmen (ballet)
Johnny Eliasen (N) & Valentina Turcu (C), 2011

★★★★★
one of the best ballets in last 3 years with amazing kristina luptakova and jerome johnson. delightful, passionate and fun to watch.

Dirty Girl
, 2010

★★★★☆
say what you want, but I enjoyed this movie so, so much.

Midnight In Paris
Woody Allen, 2011

★★★★☆½
wonderful, charming and set in a beautiful surroundings tho I can't say I was blown away by Wilson's acting.

« Hunger
Steve McQueen, 2009

★★★★★
powerful and stirring debut film, tho it's not the movie itself I love, but michael's outstanding and breath-taking performance

« X-Men
Bryan Singer, 2000

★★★☆☆½
like this movie a lot, but I keep thinking it could've been so much better.

X-Men 2
Bryan Singer, 2003

★★★☆☆
I'm giving 3/5 just because I wanted to slap erik most of the time for leaving charles behind. again.

« *Smrt Trgovačkog Putnika
??, 2010

★★★☆☆½
I've no idea why I went to theater and watched this again. decent play with mostly good cast, but the script is not really impressive. worth a watch.

« Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino, 2009

★★★★★
absolutely love this movie. if only most of the characters didn't die at the end.

X-Men: The Last Stand,
Brett Ratner, 2006

★★★☆☆
yes, charles found erik at the park. they now live in mansion, baking cookies, singing and playing LE BONDAGE games.
LE FIN. don't you dare ruin this for me.

« *Spli'ski Akvarel
Krešimir Dolenčić, 2008

★★★★★
i could never get bored of this play, seriosly. i've watched it three times this year.

« Carmen
??, 2012

★★★☆☆
I wasn't really impressed to be honest, ballet version was much better.

Drive
Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011

★★★★☆
The first half of Drive is so so beautiful, and the second drives towards excellence, but doesn't fully get there. I really loved unique combination of music tho.
