Bad title, good movie

John Tucker Must Die (2006)

All around positive movie, spoiled by a horrible title. Actually it might be a bit too cute. Those things and tricks, which main characters are doing to each others, would be awful in real life - but not so in this movie. Nevertheless nice entertaining moment for an evening with nothing else to do. Not sure what the message was, but it doesn't really matter.

Children of Men (2006)

Technically great movie, truly amazing scenes and moments. Those are worth watching several times! However the overall feeling I got was depressing and non-caring. Maybe that was what the director/writers wanted, to get me more inside the world without future. Maybe they didn't want me to dare to care about main characters even at the very end. Well, they succeeded. Still a good movie and requires a second chance!

It's science fiction, what did you expect

Next (2007)

I'm a fan of Philip K. Dick, science fiction and also Nicholas Cage. Of course I liked the movie. Besides it was a good one!

Compared to others, for example Deja Vu, this was more fun, more real, more plausible, more thrilling and more enjoyable. There was some things that disturbed a bit: magic tricks and why didn't he do those when in need, those looks at camera etc. Minor issues, but could have been clearer before filming. Nevertheless a movie worth watching a second time.
