A more melancholic and weepy version of Me Before You in the lower middle class. Javier Bardem is excellent, there are some great ideas and some interesting dialogue, but it's primarily the strength of the premise and its existential overtones than how it's executed. The love triangle was like something cut out of a…

A more thoughtful, tense and overall more minimalist version of Civil War with a gradually escalating atmosphere in the style of Take Shelter. Technically outstanding. Great cinematography and editing. Superb acting, a shame some elements were left unexplained and perhaps the conclusion was too rushed given the…

A tribute to a difficult profession, which it's a shame doesn't have its own category at the Oscars. Fall Guy is certainly not popcorn for everyone, which is why it will have a difficult time with high box office and general acceptance. For the average viewer, it's far too loaded with references, innuendo and props…

Undisguisedly Hitchcockian. The script is very stupid, but what Brian De Palma spoils as a screenwriter, he makes up for mightily as a director. Plus, he's not afraid to use the skills of Ralf D. Bode and Pino Donaggio. More than one scene could have gone straight into the textbooks as an example of "how to slowly…

This hammy romp about a deaf and dumb killer who has to overthrow a totalitarian regime spares no expense with absurd scenes, black humour and incredible action that combines the best of The Raid with childish imagination and naivety. The self-parody sequences where the protagonist tells the story in a video game…

The main flaw of the third season is that I just couldn't buy into the idea that a family team, including one serious alcoholic, could outsmart the secret service. If they can, then the Brits have bigger problems than I thought! Still, it was a fun episode that stayed on its well-set course, so I enjoyed it. Now, I'm…

Go figure! The third episode managed to avoid the issues that bugged me in the previous ones and had almost everything I'd been missing. I finally had a great time (despite a few minor flaws) because the story actually moved forward. The plot was interesting, the Korean creators added some nice tension and another…

The way the Korean creators translated this story into moving pictures isn’t quite working for me. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it’s just chaos. What really bugs me, though, is how the flashbacks are handled. Thankfully, I can keep track of the characters; otherwise, I’d be completely lost. My relationship with the…

The plot unfolded exactly as I anticipated, but the twist that followed caught me off guard, and that’s definitely a good thing. This was the most interesting and funniest episode of this season so far, even if I probably didn't enjoy it as much as the unpleasant (yet perfect) Jackson Lamb. Overall, it’s shaping up to…

The turtles are just a passable one-off for me. It bothers me that it's too infantile, I would have appreciated a harder R-rating and a darker atmosphere. Megan Fox is still a top-shelf babe, the action is rather mediocre, but at least it's clearly and entertainingly filmed. The film goes by quickly, but the age range…
