Election (Hak se wui) 2005, Unrated)
The first film where I discovered about the excistence of this great director. I've seen Fulltime Killer before this one but didn't left an lasting impression as this. I always enjoyed Triad/Jakuza films but this takes the whole genre into another level. To manages to keep you interested and guessing throughout most of the story. Only around the ending it gets a bit confusing and on the long side. But for the rest it's probably is one of the best Asian Gangster films. |

Fong juk (Exiled) 2006, R)
Some people cry when they see something so beautiful that it hurts their eyes. I've cried many times over a film, purely for its beauty or sadness but never over a gangster film. That is till I saw Johnnie To's Exiled. The best gunfuelled Asian gangster I've seen for ages. |

Bamako 2006, Unrated)
A current issue told from the point of view of the people who face it everyday. Story is very touching, just a tad too long and distant is some parts. I don't know much about the director to fully understand what is trying to tell or where his views stand. Still a must see just for the educational value of it. |

Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars 2004, PG)
It may not have had the perfect ending for the BEST tv-serie that the world has ever seen, but at least it got an ending. After giving us four years of joy, Farscape the tv-serie was cancelled for not having 'enough viewers". Farscape always tried to go further then most series, give us the best character developments and the most touching stories (hey, what can I say I?m proper Scaper). Thanks to the makers they eventually gave us this great, not perfect TV film, which tried to give it the closure it deserved. |

Amélie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) 2001, R)
This film is one of the most positive films out there. Amelie is so refreshing and so full of life. I wish I had a look of life like hers. Cinematographically speaking it is top notch and mind blowing. Every colour matches the feelings of the characters. Audrey Tautou brings Amelie with so much energy that you just can't help fall for her. Actually this is one of the few movies that really deserve the term Romantic Comedy. All the others are just cheap knock-offs. The balance between drama and comedy is well balanced. I haven't seen a lot of French Cinema but this is my favourite so far. |
