Torque (2004)
9/10
WHO WANTS TO HAVE FUN?
20 January 2004
It's funny to read that TORQUE is not plausible, that TORQUE is so bad that it's painful to see it, etc... TORQUE it's exactly what Rob Cohen didn't managed with FAST AND FURIOUS: an incredible cartoon with insane stunts, with a lot of tremendous visual effects. It's 90 minutes of pure madness and who cares about the script when it's so crazy? When i decide to see a biker movie, i really don't care about the story. I want to see incredible chases, incredible stunts and, if it's possible, incredible CGI effects to serve the stunts. I found all of that in TORQUE. To me, it's like BAD BOYS 2, a cartoon live with an excited director leading the image. A pure pleasure. It's just excellent and it's too bad i don't have the words in English to tell you how wonderful this movie is. I give it 9/10

Benoit Poelvoorde : the REAL Claude Francois!
14 January 2004
It's an excelllent comedy! Benoit Poelvoorde is totally amazing, the script is intelligent, smart and funny. Julie Depardieu is beautiful and a good actress and Jean-Paul Rouve from the Robin des Bois is excellent as Michel Polnareff! If you like Claude Francois this film is made for you!

Well done.

Payoff (2003)
1/10
THE WORST FRENCH MOVIE EVER MADE!!!
12 November 2003
Please, for your mental safety, stay far away from this awful movie! It's not even funny. Everything is failed. Director Gilles Paquet-Brenner tried to do like Michael Bay so he moved his camera at every image but he just managed to give us an headache. On stage, Titoff is not funny. On TV sets, he's just dumb. But on screen, it's catastrophic. He got dead cow eyes, he's unable to say a line with conviction,well i don't have enough words in English to tell you how Titoff is bad! The music is awful, the editing is terrible, the story has been written by a four years old kid,well, Gomez & Tavares, it's just a pain in the ass,the movie you don't want to see. Compare to it, VERCINGETORIX is a master piece!

wooosaaah!
10 October 2003
Excellent! This first part is just excellent! Tarantino-san just made exactly what he wanted and give us a movie really exciting with a lot of incredible fights, a lot of blood and of course, a dark humor totally insane and funny. Uma Thurman is amazing, the fight with the 80 bodyguards is visually fantastic,and the music (by The RZA) is a masterpiece. Quentin Tarantino is still alive! Alleluyah!

sympathetic and funny
7 October 2003
It's a good short movie with a lot of action and a good actor called Olivier Pannequin. Nothing totally incredible but sympathetic and funny!

Janis et John (2003)
7/10
For Marie
24 September 2003
Of course, it's just impossible to see this movie without thinking about Marie Trintignant's death and for some sequences (like when Sergi Lopez is shouting at her), it's really hard and sad. But,this movie deserve to be seen also for what it is: a good comedy, funny, pretty original with a lot of excellent musical moments. Even Christophe Lambert is brilliant in it, playing an ex-LSD addict. So, if you like Janis Joplin, if you like to laugh and if you want to see how beautiful, gifted and touching Marie was, just see this film. Bye Marie.

Total Western (2000)
8/10
when Samuel Le Bihan meets John Rambo
24 September 2003
It's a good movie, that's sure. A few months before LE PACTE DES LOUPS or LES RIVIERES POURPRES , Eric Rochant made a great and violent film,with a lot of great gunfight sequences and a Samuel Le Bihan really good in a like-Rambo character. If you like guns, tortures, blood and sometimes free violence, take a look to this TOTAL WESTERN

Lune froide (1991)
9/10
Excellent but disturbing
24 September 2003
I saw this film about 12 years ago but i still remember it. Bouchitey is one on my favorite french actors and he made something great with LUNE FROIDE: 1 - He managed to adapt perfectly Charles Bukowski's universe (and that wasn't an easy piece!) 2 - He filmed in black and white, an excellent way to bring despair, troubles and loneliness 3 - as an actor he's just great (Stevenin too)

10 things to do to destroy a pretty good movie
18 September 2003
When the first LEGALLY BLOND has been released, i was surprised because it was fresh, spontaneous,funny and pretty original. So, i was pleased enough to see the sequel. Unfortunately, every single second of this movie is awful. All the good things from the first one are forgotten. It's stupid, ugly, dumb and completely useless. one of the worst movie i have ever seen.

Beowulf (1999)
1/10
poor Christophe(r)!
18 September 2003
What Christopher Lambert is doing? Is he trying to have the worst filmography in the world? Well, with FORTRESS 2, VERCINGETORIX, NORTH STAR, HIGHLANDER 2,3 and 4 and this BEOWULF, he's close to win his goal! BEOWULF is not funny, not scary. We even don't see Rhona Mitra's boobs! There's strictly nothing in this awful movie. The Beast is just ridiculous with the strange purple fog around it, and THE Christopher, with his blonds hair and his leather suit, looks like a dumb guy, lost in something he doesn't understand. Poor him. Poor us. This movie is a kind of torture!
