The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959)

  Detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant, Doctor Watson, are assigned to a peculiar case ; a nobleman's life is threatened when he visits a property which will soon be inherited by him. The actual threat is an old legend that has a wild dog from hell roaming the grounds and killing all members of the Baskerville family...
  Hammer Films' prolific studios were suppliers of quality horror movies such as this throughout the 50's and the 60's. In this movie, the famous book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is brought to life. Terence Fisher goes behind the wheel once again and brings us a pure vintage and classy mystery film that is hard not to like. In my humble opinion, it is unfortunate that horror films evolved into something so much different than these productions. I miss the storytelling and the visual effects and I miss getting scared by something other than just sudden sound effects!
  The combination of actors in this film couldn't fail even if they wanted to. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee have appeared in so many Hammer films together that it is almost impossible to see one and not think of the other. While they usually play rivaling characters, here Cushing is actually helping Lee stay alive and intact. André Morell follows and makes sure every clue is collected and Marla Landi is the mandatory female character in the story. And guess what; she is a tricker!
Must watch this : on a windy night. Turn off any lights in your house and light up a candle. Cook up a mushroom velvet soup and enjoy this fucker with a side drink of brandy.

Rocky (1976)

  A small-time mob muscle man and an aspiring boxer, Rocky Balboa, spends most of his time practising and unsuccessfully hitting on his friend's sister. Life gives him a chance to make it big when a world boxing champion wants to meet him in the ring. While this is a suicide mission, Rocky has to prove to everyone that there is always point in trying your best...
  This is one of the landmarks of modern cinema! Sylvester Stallone really risked his life trying to get this movie screened and that is something you can actually sense throughout the film; an air of fighting freedom, when there is nothing left to be lost so one can only win. John G. Avildsen and his directing helped put all the emotions in an acceptable order and the result is as beautiful as a flawless uppercut. the film also boasts vivid imagery throughout the film (the slums, the gym, the miserable housing, the fights) and the intense feelings get even more intense. All in all, Rocky is an icon and this film is a pure example of how all success stories have to begin, endless fight and hardships with sprinkles of persistence through bad luck.
  Stallone is not the finest actor in general and he is not the best actor in this film either. Not trying to undermine Stallone but the rest of the cast is actually more impressive! Tali Shire manages to uplift her role to a whole other level when you see her character actually evolving from a shy girl to a full woman next to Rocky. Burt Young plays one of those lowlife guys who snatch away at anything small-time to get by. And I tell you there are a few guys who can play that part that well! Carl Weathers is a good example of a character spinning around his own success and seeking his demise while Burgess Meredith is the finest of them all. The most cult, the the most insulting, the most raw character/actor in this film and you can't but love him!
Must watch this :  right before you make the final decision of really stepping forward in your life. Mix up "The Champion's Breakfast" right after the film and go out to face the world and own it!

Edward Scissorhands (1990)

  Edward lives in the outskirts of a small American town. up high in a tower. His unique figure doe snot allow him to go out and meet the world ; instead of hands, Edward has scissors. A stroke of luck brings Edward being accepted by a family and venturing his way through modern society...
  Tim Burton uses his secret recipe and brings forth a lovely pre-Christmasy movie. Although, Burton could stay on the beaten track and just make another great weird movie like he always does, he strayed off a bit and delved deeper into social and psychological issues. Scissorhands is a fine depiction of the person in all of us who fights to get accepted in society but most of the times the society is not even ready for this little guy. All in all, a great movie about love, acceptance and being unique!
  There must be something about Depp and his pick of roles. I mean, you can check every one of his films and you will not find a single role as a normal character. He always goes the extreme way and probably that's we like him. Winona Ryder is exquisite as Depp's forbidden love and we would really love to see that happen. And of course, like in any other love story, there is a douchebag he just won't get out of the way, in this case it's Anthony Michael Hall who plays so could that you can hate him!
Must watch this :  on a cold December night, when your fever is running high and you are trying to lose the shakes by wrapping yourself in blankets. Enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate and after the film, weep for your lost loves, if any!

The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

  A large shipment of gold becomes the point of interest for many dark figures in a small village in feudal China. A blacksmith with a caged lover, a British veteran soldier, a clan of assassins and a brothel owner fight over what is their own and what should have been their own...
  RZA's first attempt at directing certainly does not leave you disappointed. Do not expect any high-end directing or a re-invention of cinema art but do expect an entertaining 96 minutes of cult role-playing and vivid storytelling. Tarantino's little finger was dipped in this movie and you can see that too at some points. All in all, a modern low-fi with enough balls to become a cult classic somewhere in the next 50 years and surely a nice spending of your time.
  RZA plays the main character, the blacksmith with a hurt past. Russell Crowe brings up the game and plays the British veteran with a keen for young harlots and Lucy Liu is sure the own to provide him with such pleasures. Rick Yune arrives in the nick of time to save the day and Dave Bautista has to get in the way as always.
Must watch this : if you have been away from home for too long, put on this fucker and let it be your ticket back to who you used to be. Must accompany with something Chinese just for the cult of it, prefer a Kung-Pao chicken maybe!
