Doomsday (2008)



A team of people work to prevent a disaster threatening the future of the human race.

Silly mixture of Escape From New York and Mad Max with a touch of sword and sorcery tossed in for good measure actually manages to thrill and to entertain.

Maltin**: "Shamelessly derivative, ultraviolent postapocalyptic thriller..."

Les adieux à la reine (2012)



A look at the relationship between Marie Antoinette and one of her readers during the first days of the French Revolution.

Despite an interesting story, high production value and a good cast this movie fails to spark any sympathy and to appeal.
