Hellboy (2004)


































  The story of a red humanoid demon conjured by a secret Nazi group but raised from infant by an American professor. Hellboy, as he was named, is trained and devoted to confronting the forces of evil that threaten our world. When Rasputin, the man who conjured him, comes back to bring the end of the world, Hellboy must act quickly...
  When you see Guillermo del Toro's name signed in a film like that then you should be sure that this film is going to be very good. With much less mambo jumbo than the average Marvel comics film, Hellboy manages to pay a very iconic tribute to the well-known hero and elevate his status to a new-found glory. For 2004, the film has very complicated special effects but not so elaborate to make it a kitsch special effects film!
  Ron Perlman deserves a "Job well done" from all comic hero fans from all over the world. His face is like it was destined to someday play Hellboy (with the mandatory make-up of course). John Hurt and Selma Blair react very well around Perlman as his step-dad and love thing, respectively. Rupert Evans gets in the way as a nanny, Doug Jones knows just about everything and Karel Roden is Rasputin. Nuff said!
Must watch this : go to the nearest tobacco and cigar shop and get yourself a big-ass cigar. After you have prepared a manly dinner (take-out or steak are the only two respectable options here), enjoy this movie accordingly.

Creepshow (1982)


































  Inspired by E.C. Comics of the 1950's, five unique stories of horror that chill the blood come to haunt you when you sleep. A dead father comes back to haunt his family, a lone man is infected by a meteorite, a psychopath murders his unfaithful wife, a possessed crate spreads fear and hordes of cockroaches raid a man's house!
  George A. Romero goes over the top once again and works together with Stephen King for this magnificent piece of pulp horror cinema! An amazing atmosphere is strongly vivid throughout the film and each scene is like it's pulling you closer in in a comic book's rusty yellow pages. King lets his fantasy runs fast, Romero lets his camera absorb everything and Tom Savini lets his magic hands brings monstrosities to life!
  If you thought this is actually horrifying then I am afraid I will let you down! This film is all about the horror and Sci-Fi atmosphere; it's like a grandma telling a tale. And because it does take itself too seriously (or does it?), this film employs talents such as Leslie Nielsen, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, E.G. Marshall and Ed Harris for a more classy vibe. Even Stephen King has a little role as the Weed man (I bet that pun was intended by himself too).
Must watch this :  ideally on a rainy November night (or on Halloween), wearing your pajamas and holding your teddy bear real tight! Order a large pizza and a Diet Coca Cola to accompany!

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!

Sin City (2005), by Silent Guardian


































  Four different stories intertwined , as one continuum, telling stories a corrupt city with even more corrupt citizens. A tough, depraved killer , a blonde angel, the only honest cop in town protecting a young girl from a pedophile, a group of dangerous women and a lot more obscure personalities all collide for survival....
  Robert Rodriguez teams up with Frank Miller and Quentin Tarantino to bring to life Miller's famous comic book story. The result is a highly entertaining ,with the dark, monochrome and pulp mood that is prevails in the film. Too rough, too serious, too comic-y...hell yeah! Once you watch this there is no turning back...
  Hollywood all-star parade...Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Devon Aoki and Jessica Alba. They all adapt perfectly into the atmosphere, giving their own mysticism to their characters, adding to their delinquency. I would like to see more of them in movies like these...Imaginative and purely artistic.
Must watch this : on a special movie night party just for this film. Gather your friends, booze up and eat up and then chill ritualistically, enjoying this film without talking. After the film, most of the girls of the party will want to strip-tease,so yeah, you can thank me later for that!

Batman (1966)


































  The Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler and Catwoman join forces in order to destroy the world. They have in their hands a secret invention that instantly dehydrates people and plan to hold the world ransom with it. Once again, the only ones who can stop them are Batman and Robin...
  Leslie H. Martinson does the first step and brings the legend of Batman into the big screen. Previously a T.V series, this film was the first to portray an adventure of Batman and Robin in the length of a feature. Downright hilarious, utterly comical, respecting the original comic series, this flick has interesting special effects (I would say cheap but okay!) and vivid colors matching those of a comics pages! My personal favorite of all the Batman films.
  Adam West is Batman (silly and goofy at times but he is Batman) and Burt Ward is his assistant, Robin.
Lee Meriwether is the saucy Catwoman (purrrrfect), Cesar Romero is the  Joker, Burgess Meredith is the Penguin and Frank Gorshin is the Riddler. All actors get the mood of the film and do a great job at portaying their characters both seriously and with the proper amount of punchlines that a comic film should have!
Must watch this :  with a Happy Meal from McDonald's (or something equally shitty fast-food restaurant) and your bros. Find your inner child and laugh your ass off as you witness Batman trying to get rid of a bomb.
