Max von Sydow
Minority Report (2002)
Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Sends the endlessly bickering couple to Paris, where the great director Roman Polanski gives them a rectal exam. I wish I were kidding.
Le Scaphandre et le papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) (2007)
Qualifies as a masterpiece of sensual cinema and poetic subjectivity.
Never Say Never Again (1983)
Connery proved plenty fit for one more outing...a likeable but somewhat mediocre adventure handsomely mounted in the traditional Bond style...
The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet) (1958)
Perhaps no one film speaks more fully to the human condition than
The Seventh Seal
.
Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Pollack excels by establishing an interesting situation, sustaining it, and—in keeping with the paranoid-thriller genre—resolving it on a pleasingly ambiguous note.
Flash Gordon (1980)
A campy cult classic remembered for its over-the-top acting, design, and music by Queen.
Shutter Island (2010)
Multiplex entertainment this distinctive and provocative doesn’t come along every day: it’s a head trip well worth taking.
The Magician (1958)
Both a rebuke to critics and a confession of charlatanism,
The Magician
puts forward a one-of-a-kind examination of the problem of truth in life and in art.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011)
Except as a tool for pediatric grief counseling,
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
amounts to a fetishization of its own trappings (the boy, NYC, 9/11) more interested in Oscar than Oskar.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
[SPOILER-FREE] Can be dimwittedly obvious and self-plagiarizing, with little of real-world consequence and less that’s new to say [but it's still] a fun-filled adventure at the movies...
