Astérix & Obélix contre César (1999)


































  Julius Caesar has triumphed all over Gaul, except for a small village whose people have supernatural strength thanks to a special magic potion. After a lost battle, Caesar is double-crossed by his right hand Lucius Detritus, who manages to get hold of the magic potion and decides to destroy the small Gaul village. Only Asterix and Obelix can stop him...
  The famous comic series by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo finds its way on to the big screen. Acclaimed director and writer Claude Zidi directs and the outcome is truly beautiful. Amazing sets and photography that make you feel like you are inside the comic and a great French sense of humor that harmonically continues the mood of the comic!
  Christian Clavier and Gérard Depardieu go together like peas and carrots! Their chemistry works so good together that they succeed in portraying Asterix and Obelix's true hilarious friendship. Roberto Benigni, that incredible Italian bastard, is the plotting villain whose ego is bigger than his stature. Claude Piéplu is the great druid Panoramix while Gottfried John could not be any more suitable for the role of Julius Caesar and yes that is because of his nose!
Must watch this : with all of your friends, in a wooden house in the mountains on a random spring night. Bring wine, bring food, cook it in the fireplace and enjoy with a good mood! Then go out in the nature and seek for adventures in small rivers and canyons, smoking weed with that uplifting mofo in your heads!

Sleepy Hollow (1999)


































  Introvert and socially awkward detective Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the the murders of 3 people. All three were beheaded and during his stay there, the bodies start to pile up. Soon, Ichabod will find out that he is in the middle of a carefully planned assassination plan that has much darker motives than he ever thought...
  Tim Burton goes beyond all borders and directs probably the best pure horror movie of the 90's. Creating an eerie web of witchcraft and dark folklore and setting it in an atmosphere where grey is the lightest color, Burton manages to give you the creeps without using any cheap tricks. The amazing photography and carefully executed settings make the film more realistic and so believable.The gloomy mood of the film sets the bar high, takes you by the balls and drags you through its muddy forests.
  Johnny Depp ,sometimes, is more than the pretty boy that every girl loves. He has great talent when it comes to impersonating weird characters and he is the only one who could star in this film for sure. Christina Ricci and Miranda Richardson are equally good in their roles, giving amazingly heavy performances. Michael Gambon and Christopher Walken complete the cast for this masterpiece of modern goth horror film!
Must watch this : on a frightful night when outside there is heavy, unstoppable rain and strong wind. Dim the lights, lights some candles, make some Bloody Mary and enjoy this with your girlfriend in your arms. Let the weather combine with the movie and put you in its creepy mood.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999), by Silent Guardian


































  A hired African American killer, who lives under the "Hagakure" Code of the Samurai, is hired for the murder of a mobster. During the execution of the contract, an eyewitness is there, creating a problem in the evolution of the murder. From this moment onwards, the bosses want him dead ...
  Live by the Code, die by the Code. Jim Jarmush takes a hit at contemporary ethics and criminals, with a  touch of melancholy, within the meaning of fine lines and balances. Modern-era hitmen, Samurai ethics, hip hop and Black culture and the shaky ethics of living outside and against the law. For real people with real values only.
  Forest Whitaker probably gives his life-time quality performance. Balancing gracefully through Jim Jarmush's ironic, poetic and smart scenes under the sounds of old-school hip-hop RZA-style, Whitaker is the Last Samurai way before Tom Cruise. Flanked by John Tormey, Isaac De Bankole and Camille Winbush, he really gets him message through : Do not be compatible with any new reality and always choose a law and a code to live by.
Must watch this : on a regular September afternoon with a cup of green tea. After the film, spend some time meditating on some tripped-out tunes like that and then go out and look for a reason to beat down a random motherfucker that deserves it. The only way to let off steam!
