300 (2006) 

englanti If the film hadn't added one quite unnecessary plot line compared to the book (yes, the one with Leonid's wife and scheming senators) and just stuck to flashbacks, it would have had even more momentum and 300 would have become an uncompromising digital blood-ride during which you’d be holding your breath. It’s a bit of a shame. Still, the result is an excellent show about a tough fight for the right cause.

Hellboy (2004) 

englanti "I'm fireproof. Not you." I understand that a person who hasn't had the pleasure of reading Hellboy on paper might not appreciate the movie as much. But trust me, it's perfect (although many, many things are changed and many, many things are left out)! As far as Ron Perlman is concerned - that's what you call the role of a lifetime.__P.S. The extended version contains rather cosmetic changes and improvements, but the scene with Rasputin's eyes is excellent.

Batman Begins (2005) 

englanti A first-class comic book movie without a single deaf spot, a well-thought-out script full of interesting characters, action, suspense, humour, some insight, Michael Caine... It has basically everything.

Kirjeitä Iwo Jimalta (2006) 

englanti I've read the book that Clint and the writers were inspired by, and I have to say that I imagined everything the way it was eventually presented to me in the film. Letters from Iwo Jima is undoubtedly one of the best "modern" war films I have seen.__P.S. Be sure to get the soundtrack - but be warned, it's terribly addictive and you won't be able to get it out of your head!

The Postman - tulevaisuuden sanansaattaja (1997) 

englanti This gets full stars, and from my point of view they are clearly deserved. It's a film that never fails to entertain me and that I can finish even if I watch it at eleven o'clock at night. I must have a thing for fairy tales or something. P.S. If Costner hadn't shaved, it would have been even better - the bearded image suited him perfectly and it was a great fit for the post-apocalyptic story...

Monk (2002) (sarja) 

englanti Nine out of ten. Not so much a crime series as a detective and quite often comedy series with an irresistible main character, Adrian Monk, a great duo of cops played by Ted Levine and Jason G. Stanford, and Monk's clueless and vigorous caretaker. The series is funny, suspenseful and touching (especially in the moments when Adrian remembers his wife Trudi in any way)... I think we have a worthy successor to Lieutenant Columbo.

Mafiaveljet (1990) 

englanti If Leone hadn't made Once Upon a Time in America and Coppola had never made The Godfather, this would definitely be the best gangster movie of all time. It is “only” the third best. I don’t like the ending much. I should be, well, different.

Kuin raivo härkä (1980) 

englanti What? The best boxing film and there's about ten minutes of boxing? But it’s brilliant. I like Rocky, I like Paul Newman in Somebody Up There Likes Me, but of all these battered men, Jake La Motta is my favorite, and I don’t know why.

Taksikuski (1976) 

englanti Taxi Driver is the third best film made by Scorsese and De Niro after Raging Bull and Wise Guys. But of all the above, it has by far the best music - Herrmann's ending to his career is divine. How a few notes can capture not only the environment in which the film takes place, but also the mental turmoil of the main character... It's breathtaking. You see the opening credits (which Richard Donner pays homage to in Gibson's Ransom) and you know - this is going to be SOMETHING. And it is.

Jurassic Park III (2001) 

englanti Yes, yes, action, fun, dinosaurs, great special effects... But the original magic is gone. Spielberg is simply missing from Jurassic Park. I didn't even get the feeling that the lizards were alive this time. Of the three stars, one goes to Sam Neill, one to ILM and Stan Winston, and one to the action sequences (the dinosaur fight, the Pteranodon cage).
