Movie Thoughts – In Time (2011)
This movie is about a world where time is used as a currency instead of money (you can find more about it here). It is so interesting and f*cked up, that I’d like to live in it. It combines the hunger for money we have with the lack of time. Wouldn’t it be interesting if we would get paid with time instead of us … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – In Time (2011)
Movie Thoughts – Ex Machina (2014)
This movie is about a dude that has been hired by another dude to test the human qualities a newly created A.I. dudette has (you can find more about it here). In my opinion, it’s a movie about manipulation at its finest because everybody manipulates everybody. The employer manipulates the employee, the employee tries to manipulate the employer and the A.I. manipulates everybody. … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – Ex Machina (2014)
Movie Thoughts – How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
This animated movie is about a young Viking boy who brakes all the rules and gets a dragon as a pet (you can see more about it here). And by breaking the rules I mean that he goes against his Viking legacy which is all about killing the dragons. In my opinion, this movie is a great showcase of what a “rebel” goes … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

Paul Ekman and Wallace V. Friesen added a sixth emotion (Surprise) to make … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – Inside Out (2015)
Movie Thoughts – Orphan (2009)
This movie is pretty f*cked up. It’s a horror movie about a family adopting a little girl who turns out to be not as little as they thought (you can find more about it here). It’s the first time I’m writing about a horror movie, but this one is interesting because it involves a special kind of mindset, the mindset of a psychopath. … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – Orphan (2009)
Movie Thoughts – Real Steel (2011)
In short, this movie is about robot boxing (you can find more about it here). Although I find the action to be pretty good, the human interactions are even better. From the beginning, we can see a person that lives what he does and that he finds ways to keep going forward despite the difficulties he faces. His passion is bigger than the … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – Real Steel (2011)
Movie Thoughts – Hachi: A Dog’s Tale (2009)
This is an emotional true story based movie about the bond between a man and his dog (you can find more about this movie here).

It … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – Hachi: A Dog’s Tale (2009)

This movie is a movie about a stock broker who uses his skills to persuade other people in his own interest (you can find out more about it here). It’s based on the true life Jordan Belfort had in his youth. It is really interesting to see what people are willing to do for money and with money. And don’t get me wrong, … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Movie Thoughts – Intouchables (2011)
This movie is about a man whom is completely paralyzed due to an accident he suffered which hires another man to be his caretaker and a great friendship is developed between the two of them (you can find more about this movie here).

This movie is about a dude whose whole life is a TV show. Every second since his birth has been filmed with hidden cameras and broadcasted live 24/7 (you can find more about this movie here).

Movie Thoughts – Predestination (2014)
This movie is about a time traveling agent that has to catch a criminal (you can find more about it here). This is one of those movies that needs to be seen with a fresh mind.

Movie Thoughts – Get Out (2017)
This movie is about a young Afro-American guy who is in an interracial relationship and he visits his new girlfriend’s parents (you can find more about this movie here). This movie is f*cked up on too many levels. First, it approaches the racial issues and I think it does it pretty well. I believe it’s all around some “predefined” patterns that are in … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – Get Out (2017)
Movie Thoughts – The Imitation Game (2014)
The action in this movie is during World War 2 when Alan Turing, a genius professor, tries to crack the German Enigma code (you can find more about it here). There are a few interesting topics in this movie, but I’ve found very interesting how people react to a different and unique opinion. All of us have some crazy ideas from time to … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – The Imitation Game (2014)
Movie Thoughts – Click (2006)
This movie is about a dude that gets his hands on a remote control which controls his reality (you can find more about it here).

This movie is about a small village that it is isolated from the rest of the world because it’s surrounded by a forest full of strange creatures ready to attack anyone that tries to leave (you find more about it here).

Movie Thoughts – Baby Driver (2017)
This movie is about a guy that is the getaway driver for different robberies (you can find more about it here). What I found interesting about it is the fact that Baby (that’s his nickname in the movie), the driver, was addicted to music. But not addicted like you and me, more like crazy ass addicted. The logical explanation is that he has … Continue reading Movie Thoughts – Baby Driver (2017)
