12 Angry Men: Timeless masterpiece

Released in 1957, 12 Angry Man does not show any sign of aging, it could just as well be a film of the 21st century.

Each of the 12 jurors is a unique person

Taking place in one room where the characters stay throughout the movie, while arguing the fate of a boy suspected of murdering his father, 12 Angry Men enables the viewer to look deeply into each one's personality. And despite the limited gamut of locations, the film manages to be both visually stunning and extremely entertaining, with each of its scenes being exceptionally well constructed. [...]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower: Brilliant

Stephen Chbosky perfectly conveys the troubles of already troubled lives.

A powerful script, combined with perfect casting

Click to show spoilers

Despite of the predominantly teenage cast, this is most definitely not your usual "teenage movie". The Perks of Being a Wallflower has an extremely realistic take on adolescence, approaching problems that go far beyond the usual "love issues" most high school movies address, and does so by beautifully mixing a more "in your face" take on certain events with a powerfully subtil approach to others. [...]

The Gift: Captures the spirit of the psychological thriller genre

The Gift is a masterfully subtle suspense with elegant, well polished writing and superb acting.

Almost purely psychological

In his first feature film as a director, Joel Edgerton shows he really knows what the psychological thriller genre is all about.

Suits: What was Mike arrested for?

With the return of the fifth season of Suits getting closer, expectations grow higher on the cliffhanger the show left us with. And despite what creator Aaron Korsh is letting on, the real question may still be "What was Mike arrested for?" rather than "Who tuned him in?".

Will Mike's arrest kill Suits?

The latest episode of Suits ended with Mike being arrested for "conspiracy to commit fraud". While it doesn't precisely specify what he was arrested for, it was presumed it was because of him practicing law while unlicensed. Even though that is the obvious explanation, it would pretty much sentence the show to death (more on that below). [...]

Spectre: The perfect close to the Craig era

The latest Bond film, Spectre, goes back to the roots in all senses, as it ties together all the movies in the Craig era, and brings back the mood of the early Bond.

perfect time for him to "drop his gun, and go build a family"

Daniel Craig has always been regarded as the most believable Bond, as his incarnation of the iconic character looses the more goofy and comical tone of past installments. Spectre comes to change this, as already in the opening minutes, you get a hint of the comical tone that is soon to drive the entire film. [...]

Quantico: Why would Alex plead guilty?

Now that everyone (probably) has watched the latest episode of the rising TV show, Quantico, let's reflect on it. While certainly entertaining, it is packed with weak immature dialog and lazy writing.

With that out of the way, lets elaborate :)

Quantico season 1 episode 9

Quantico's take on the FBI training surely reminds you of your time at high school. The characters display an absurdly "teenish" behavior, at the same time as each of them carries a supposedly very intense backstory that you would think would have helped them mature... But no, that is not the case, they all just fall madly in love with each other on first sight, and unprofessionally base their decisions on their relationship status (one would think hope the FBI recruits better candidates to be their agents).
