"District 9" ~ 9/10

Neumann as well as Cronenberg's "The Fly", the "Half-Life" videogames, Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" and "RoboCop", some Sam Raimi style, some japanese "mecha anime", and even "The Dark Knight" (for the music)... This movie is a wonderful mix of so many good references, mostly taken from the world of science-fiction.
The plot is a bit original for an "alien" flick, and the humor not inappropriate.

"No pasaràn" ~ 6/10

Good actors, funny realistic characters, good direction. Plus, a wonderful message about the taste of real (non fully industrialized) life.

"My sister's keeper" [fr="Ma vie pour la tienne"] ~ 9/10

The actors are all so very good, the music so great, it makes you forget how obvious the plot of this movie was. An excellent movie about a subject as difficult as child cancer.
Moreover, like several movies in the recent months, this one gets onto the subject of stem cells. May the obscurantist conservatives stop guiding the ignorants...

"Humpday" ~ 9/10

This movie explores sexuality like very few do. It is pure truth. I cannot say more as the movie SHOWS what it means without words, and it is absolutely worth the watch in any way.

"Jusqu'à toi" ~ 6/10

An original romantic comedy featuring the odd mix of a pretty story and a very good sense of dramatic (and almost psychological) dialogs, giving funny impressions, as comic theatre would do. Mélanie Laurent is still not perfectly good at acting but has many charming expressions.

"36 vues du Pic Saint-Loup" ~ 7/10

If this movie had to be summed up by a phrase, it would be the ambiguous sentence Jane Birkin says to Sergio Castellito : "I broke down" ("J'étais en panne.")... One might wonder whether she was talking about her car, or about herself.
As always with Rivette, a perfect direction of wonderful actors (such as Birkin, Castellito, Julie-Marie Parmentier, Jacques Bonnaffé...).

"Les derniers jours du monde" ~ 7/10

There's not much in this movie. The plot may or may not be that much original. Anyway, its point of view is french, that is to say (or is that ?) intimist. And therefore rather exceptional for a science fiction flick.
The actors (Mathieu Amalric, Catherine Frot, Karin Viard, Sergi López...) are great - and sometimes naked, which might be added as a good point, since being naked is probably one huge difficulty when performing in front of the camera.

This film gave me the feeling that there might be a way of making "french" science fiction, a thing that might not have been done since the greatest masterpiece of this very restricted genre : "La jetée". Too bad it is so rare...

"Le coach" ~ 6/10

Richard Berry is, as always, a very good performer of himself (even if he does not eat a yoghurt in this feature film ^^). Jean-Paul Rouve is, as always, a very good performer of Jean-Paul Rouve.
The film is pretty funny but did lack coherence a little bit at the end. Nevertheless it cannot match Francis Veber's masterpieces of _duo_ comedy like "La chèvre" or "Le dîner de cons", which obviously were an inspiration here.
