A quite solid action-comedy with Schwarzenegger back in form and versatile Korean director Kim Jee-woon showing what he can do in Hollywood.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

2.5 stars

It’s a very small step forward in the right direction, but this is still a mediocre ‘Terminator’ movie.

Shining, The (1980)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1980, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1999, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

Kubrick’s final film is a calculated psychosexual trip filled with paranoia, moral depravity and sexual fantasies and excesses.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Barry Lyndon (1975)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1975, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 9 Comments

Kubrick’s understated and underrated costume-drama is, to me, his greatest accomplishment, and possibly the most beautiful period film ever made.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Clockwork Orange, A (1971)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1971, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 11 Comments

Kubrick’s dystopian masterpiece frustrates, angers, provokes, and ultimately floors you in ways unlike that of other great films.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1968, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 18 Comments

Kubrick’s most influential film still remains way ahead of its time and is arguably the greatest sci-fi film ever made.

Paths of Glory (1957)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1957, Stanley Kubrick, USA
  • 5 Comments

One of the most potent anti-war films ever made… so powerful it makes your blood boil at how some humans can be so despicable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Killing, The (1956)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1956, Stanley Kubrick, USA
  • 1 Comment

Kubrick treats the crime-noir genre in a revolutionary non-linear storytelling way in what is one of the most effective American heist films ever made.

Night on Earth (1991)

  • Criterion Collection, Jarmusch, Jim
  • 1991, Jim Jarmusch, USA
  • 1 Comment

Five uneven vignettes shot in different cities centering on conversations between cab drivers and passengers—this is Jarmusch in easy-going mode as he captures the pathos of human connection.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
