Profile of Fear (2011)
Title not misleading
The title of this demanding little movie, actually nails it. It is a rather analytical movie that shows little gore. Centering around the prime character's fears ( fear not to succeed, fear to be unhappy ), the film shows the tiny details that lead to the situation, brings it to its climax, and finally offers various solutions. In that respect it is very well made. The only criticism I have is the log-line Your fears are faster than you. I find that really dumb and not fitting the story. Also, the director (or whoever) should have taken better care of determining the genre. Drama lacks the psychological and criminal parts. Otherwise definitely a recommendation. This film is refreshingly different.
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
A true classic despite all flaws
It remains a fact: You need to take into account when a film or show was made.
Saying that, I can only state that BSG remains a true Sci-Fi classic.
If you shift your view from the obvious conflict man-machine, to the inner conflicts of mankind trying to escape, there is more than enough substance for great entertainment.
Although special effects are not flawless, it was almost revolutionary when it was produced. You are not laughing at even older classics as well.
The score of the show definitely stands out and for me surpasses even the remake of 2004.
