Carlito's Way (1993)

  The story follows Carlito, a Puerto Rican mobster who just got out of prison. His notorious name and deeds get in his way of trying to stay away from his dark past while he struggles to clear his name and start fresh. His dealings with an ambitious and dirty lawyer stall even longer his getting away from New York for a new place and life...
  Brian De Palma has a secret but easily recognizable recipe for a crime drama film! Carlito's way follows paths that had already proven successful with Scarface but still, De Palma manages to create a fresh crime classic. Carlito's way focuses not only on the face-value of  sex, drugs and rock n' roll of the mafia life but also on the vanity and pain that surrounds such a lifestyle. Topped up with a mood-setting soundtrack and a nostalgic-y cinematography, this film makes for an instant viewing pleasure.
  Not much needs to be said about Pacino's acting on this one or in general. You get what you expect ; a solid performance of a character that is both a cruel son-of-a-bitch and a lover too. Sean Penn, on the other hand, is what really catches the eye. His personification of the lawyer that's much too eager to get his hands dirty but doesn't really have the balls for it is really something unique. Penelope Ann Miller also contributes an extra something to the plot as the girl madly in love with Carlito but so out of anything criminal that it hurts just to see them together.
Must watch this : on a hot summer night together with four hefty glasses of your choice of poison. Getting a bit drunk will help you get the feels with this movie even more. Just be careful of the ending! The real lesson of the movie is Regret Nothing but Regret Everything!

Hannibal (2001)

  Hannibal Lecter now lives in self-exile in Italy. FBI agent Clarice Starling now has to face all the weight of the disgrace from Lecter's open case. A previous victim with enough power and connections will claim revenge on Lecter and once again the trail of blood continues...
  Ridley Scott decides to go big with the followup on Silence of the Lambs. Though not as good the its predecessor, Hannibal does maintain the same air of a quality thriller. We are left to discover more extensively the intriguing character of Hannibal and probably delve deeper into his "twisted" sense of reality. Extra points for the Rome scenes, class and history together with raw violence and blood ! Magnifico!
  Anthony Hopkins is truly a unique actor. Every role he has played, he made it into something really authentic ; always a wise, intelligent, classy man with respect to women. And it's interesting here too that all these attributes are accustomed to a cannibal! Julianne Moore for some reason breaks my nerves so I can't be a good judge of her. Ray Liotta is purely entertaining especially in the end while  Gary Oldman has a special appearance too! Don't miss it!
Must watch this : strictly with Tartar steak and a good double brewed strong ale. For iron stomachs only!

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

  A former priest who lost his faith and his two children are touring through the desert. Seth and Richard, two brother criminals hold them hostage. Luck brings them to a titty house/bar in the desert with shady costumers to pass the night. But passing the night there is surprisingly hard...
  Robert Rodriguez, Tarantino's sidekick is another Z-movie freak and he was one of the people that helped revive the genre and make mainstream audiences see a more cult aspect in them. Rodriguez with an almost amateur-like love for movies like that, directs this film like any proper fan would and that makes it way more amusing as a film. Intense dialogues (I suspect Tarantino's hand), vampires, strip bars, bikers, guns, ladies and a soundtrack as hot as the desert!
  However cheesy the story, I really like watching actors of high value in these films. It reminds somehow that cinema was started as a means of entertainment, no matter how "quality" or not. Tarantino plays the psycho criminal with a thing for legs (touche) and Clooney is his more logical brother who usually clams him down. Harvey Keitel wil reagain his faith in the most unusual place and Juliette Lewis will make Tarantino crazy! Crazy credits : Salma Hayek with her breathtaking dance, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo, Tom Savini and Fred Williamson. Try to guess where they dug them out from!
Must watch this : on a hot summer day. Eggs and bakey will do the trick. Accompany with a good ol' can of Monster energy drink and cheap cigarettes. The taste of desert vampires in your mouth!

Filth (2013)

  Bruce is not your average cop. A strange case of murder and trouble is worrying Scotland and  Bruce is assigned on the case. Naturally, this would be standard procedure if it wasn't for Bruce's drinking, whoring around and drub abuse. Just when the case is about to unfold, Bruce's secret life is revealed...
  Jon S. Baird seems to be walking steadily towards a worldwide fame and he does that with a special ease too. Really remarkable job on this film , which seems to be his serious debut. Intense scenes, even more intense dialogues and great photography help the story of this film evolve beautifully into the fairy tale of debauchery it is. A filthy movie indeed.
  James McAvoy is the only reason you will eventually watch this movie. Not that the other actors are of less importance but McAvoy grabs his role by the balls so hard that no space is left for other characters to show their existence. This is both meant in the good and the bad way. But eventually, McAvoy is so powerful in his acting that leaves you with no need or question about any other character in this film!
Must watch this : after a series of extreme parties. Make a cup of hot chocolate and after the film, regret (or maybe not) all the stupid stuff you've done. Curl up in a corner and contemplate where your life is going! But remember, "Same rules apply"...

Donnie Brasco (1997)

  An undercover F.B.I agent is infiltrating the Italian mafia. His job takes him so deep inside the criminal organization that he has to make bonds with the people he originally set out to imprison. Eventually, his two faces collide and he starts feeling more "at home" with the mafia than with his previous life...
  Ain't that just right? Aren't we all even a bit fascinated by the wild life? Living outside of the law, bending rules to our own will and desires, leading a double life? Director Mike Newell uses just this plot twist and presents a truly nice and thought-provoking film. The film uses the usual Italian mafia set up with all the comforting cliches and delves deeper into the the mobster persona and all its thrilling ingredients. The good guy turns bad in an identity crisis. What is good and what is bad after all?
  Al Pacino and Johnny Depp ; a weird combination indeed but definitely one that worked. This feels like Depp's qualification test role, as if he is tested for his quality as an actor in order to be given bigger parts afterwards. And Pacino is a hard judge! Michael Madsen is a usual mob face, hard-mofo,with Bruno Kirby following in the same style. Anne Heche is the unlucky wife who can't bare her husband's status quo weight.
Must watch this : right after graduation. It will help you choose path wisely!

Dirty Harry (1971)

  San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan is not your average detective. Using more violence than the ones he pursues, he is considered one of the forces' weapons but also a liability. When a killer who calls himself 'the Scorpio Killer' starts spreading death, Callahan is the only one who can stop him...
   To break the legend of Dirty Harry, this film's story is actually not that unique neither Don Siegel reinvents the wheel. But he fact that the script is so well written and that fact that Harry's persona is so outstanding is probably what made the movie become a cult classic throughout the years. And it's exploitation enough, too. There's enough cheese in there to cover the minimum standards of the cult exploitation legion.
  Clint. Clint Eastwood. The name sounds more badass than James Bond sometimes this guy aims to prove it every time he gets on screen. The facial expressions of Eastwood can only be imitated by Carrey but the overall posture and macho personality is a much greater gift. He was born with it. And when maniac sociopaths like Andrew Robinson (who makes a very cool villain by the way) start killing people, well he gotta kill back...
Must watch this : with a big ass burger like the one Dirty Harry eats at some point. Get a load of french fries and enjoy this film eating and wearing yur white tank top with your suspenders.

No Country For Old Men (2007)

  A hunter comes across a drug deal gone wrong and manages to snatch a briefcase full of money. Soon, a ruthless hitman who enjoys his job too much will be assigned to take him out. A primitively violent chase ensues...
   Something about the Coen brothers appears to be really sick and twisted and I mean it in the best of ways. Meaning, it takes a lot of ingenuity to film a movie like that but still in the end to be so ruthless as to deprive bot the viewer and the characters any consolation. Not to be misunderstood, this movie is a real piece of art but to enjoy it, buckle with patience and a more Taoist approach to viewing life and art.
  Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones and Kelly Macdonald. If it wasn't for such a cast, this film would not have been the same. Bardem's eyes are filled with a dark, unearthly thirst for murder while Brolin's gives off an air of "I got nothing to lose since I am already lost". Plus points for Tommy Lee Jones' amazing, rusty voice that is like a drone note giving you the heart note of the musical piece that is this film.
Must watch this : alone, definitely alone. With a cup of American coffee even if it's in the middle of the night.

Plunder Road (1957)

  A gang of men stage a well-organized robbery and try to stick to their plan. After they make it with a nine-ton gold shipment, they divide into three truck loads and head to different directions to confuse the police. Soon, they find out that no crime goes unpunished...
   For a film noir is neither so dark neither so atmospheric. Hubert Cornfield creates some very serious dialogues between the culprits but that is not enough to make this film actually thrilling and adventurous. The black-and-white color is a big plus and so are the angles and sequences but something gets in the way of this film becoming a very good film noir. Is it the story? Is it the acting? Is it the fact that it's too politically correct (the true American lesson in the end teaching that all criminals get it some way or the other) ? Watch it and check for yourself.
  All the acting of the film is decent enough, just as expected from a U.S. film of that era. Most of the gang members are quite "not famous" but Gene Raymond and Elisha Cook Jr. are the most recognizable. If you ask me, there's one person that steals the show and that is the old lady that fucks it all up int he end.
Must watch this : with a good old hot bowl of mushroom soup on a random col January night.

Enter The Dragon (1973)

  A young kung fu master agrees to work with the C.I.A and is sent on a private island owned by a crime lord. There, he will take part in the martial arts championship but also spy on the illegal activities that take part on the island...
  It's really something when a martial arts film is not just an excuse for showing off the actor's skills. That is the case here! A somewhat classic story without many cliches that hits all the right spots for film lovers. Robert Clouse made sure he also put the right elements of exploitation so this film practically is all a man can need ; ass-kicking, good vs. evil, some hot chicks and some more ass-whooping.
  Bruce Lee is undoubtedly one of the best martial artist to hit the big screen. He made historical changes in the way the western world sees martial arts and planted a fighter worm in everyone who watched his films. All of his expertise and chi has given him an extra cocky attitude that is obvious in his acting. Maybe too cocky, if you ask me but anyway. John Saxon and Jim Kelly are also great (in the same league of actors as  Lee) and especially Kelly, who combines jumping style fighting and street gangsta swag.
Must watch this :  together with your kung fu master and your clan of devoted warriors.

Get Carter (1971)

  London gangster Jack Carter travels to Newcastle when his brothers gets killed under "fishy" circumstances. Trying to solve the puzzle, Carter will leave a notable amount of bodies behind him before he can find out the truth...
  For director Mike Hodges, this film was his break out of the TV. For the rest of us, Get Carter is the film that together with others solidified Caine's position as one of the most badass British actors ever to be out there. For cinema history, this film was just a prologue of the long-lasting era of British crime and gangster films, combining the classy English nobility and vicious gangsters with interesting accents.
  Michael was born for movies like these ; movies that center around one character and that character is enough to hold the movie. Caine sways around corpses, bullets, women and trouble like the gentleman he is. While he is at it, he never forgets to express his noble mobster swag at any chance he gets.
Must watch this : within the borders of evergreen and ever-regulated England. Get some super skunk, a bottle Ginger Beard and watch this with your scumbag friends while the rain falls continuously outside.

Naked Angels (1969)

 Mother, a biker gang leader, gets out of prison and reconnects with his old pals. His only wish is to get back at the rival gang that snitched him out in the first place. Leading them throughout the desert, Mother seems to have lost his touch and gets rejected from the gang and left alone to get his revenge...
  Unluckily, Bruce D. Clark only directed one bikersploitation in his short career and and this film is it. Naked Angels employs a standard recipe for a film of this kind and does not even care to take a step out of the beaten path. That may seem to please most but not me and certainly not when even the expected amount of nudity is missing somewhere. Nevertheless, some great footage of the wild American desert and its riders, some intense violent scenes in the end and the lively soundtrack seem to make up for it!
  Michael Greene holds the role of the main character and as anti-hero as he would like to appear I simply can't accept him as the center of the film's story. He even treats his bitch, Jennifer Gan, like she was a model from Facial Abuse. Not cool at all! Luckily, Richard Rust a.k.a Fingers comes to take the lead and bring a more democratic touch to the gang!
Must watch this : grab a six-pack of some good beer, wear your dirty jeans and just a vest, get a filthy burger and enjoy this slacker like a true American!

21 Jump Street (2012)

  Two goofy and ever-failing cops are assigned on a secret mission ; they are to infiltrate a high school as students and put a stop to the rise of a new and dangerous drug that has been making its way to the kids...
  All right, you got me. This is too modern to be considered cult but I beg to differ! Given its cult past already (it used to be a series starring Johnny Depp in the days of yore), 21 Jump Street has all it takes to make it as a classic cult stoner comedy and it should as it is one of the few American comedy films that made me laugh recently. Hats off to directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller for that sixpack-making combination. Drugs? Plenty. Boobs? Could be more. Cheesy humor?Duh! Carefree vibes? Count me in!
  It's nice to see Channing Tatum in something else other than his usual cute-face bullshit. OK, it's not that he changed his career with this film but at least he can take some comedy lessons by not-so-fat-anymore Jonah Hill. The addition of Ice Cube elevates the level of the film and so does that of Dave Franco, Rob Riggle,
Brie Larson and a cameo from Johnny Depp as the a cult reference!
Must watch this : roll a fat one and enjoy this film with the dudes. Laugh your ass off during the Phases scene and cool off with that fucker afterwards.

Ms.45 (1981)

  A young mute tailor's assistant gets robbed and raped twice in the same day on her way back home. Unable to bear the burden of such emotional distress, she starts killing every man in a spree killing manner that constitutes ,by her standards, a possible threat to any woman out there...
  A decade out the decade it should have been in, Ms. 45 is an early 80's rape-and-revenge thriller that creates an amazing atmosphere. Director Abel Ferrara manages to portray as best as possible all the anxiety and emotional confusion that this woman may have been in and the result is an entertaining mix of thrilling scenes and a smell of psychological filth emanating from somewhere. Definitely, a must-watch for any woman out there or any potential rapist.
  Zoë Lund is indeed stunning as the lead actress and although I don;t find her attractive, I must kneel before her perfect performance. Her vague look and uneasy of movement show a lady that has been through hell but still walks. Albert Sinkys, S. Edward Singer, Peter Yellen and Abel Ferrara himself play the various men that did not know what they were bargaining for.
Must watch this :  with all your feminists friends and their grumpy boyfriends.
