Contagion 2011

★★★½ Rewatched 26 Apr 2020

Right now, it's like watching the opposite to a film based on historical events. Anyway, watched it in 2011 and it made me feel uneasy about how vulnerable we are to a pandemic.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1978

★★★★ Watched 14 Oct 2017

A sci-fi horror done well, where you can really feel the uneasiness and the hopelessness as it progresses. And what's up with the dog? It really freaked me out.

First Blood 1982

★★★½ Watched 22 Jun 2014

This is one of my favorite "action" movies, because it's not about the good guy saving the day and getting the girl. It's about a man whose war never ended and a world who will never understand him.
Over the Top 1987

★★ Watched 01 May 2014

Who thought arm-wrestling could solve all your problems? Over the Top is a typical feel-good movie from the eighties using film practices of the decade such as a showcase of muscles and a Kenny Loggins song in the soundtrack. And despite being predictable and sometimes flawed, you won't find another movie that have you cheering at two big men sweating and grunting while trying to break each others arm. A personal guilty pleasure.
