A perfect fairy tale from Norway and I can't remember seeing anything better since Stardust. There is more or less everything that should be in a fairy tale: a princess kidnapped by a troll, a smug prince, a courageous hero, a witch, a magical map, and a nice mix of Norwegian mythology with some parts filmed in the Czech Republic. I had a lot of fun. 80%.

Steven Spielberg is back in form after a very long time and he made a very nice Nerdgasm, which will take you back not only to the 80s and 90s, but also to your childhood, when you played the first game on Nintendo or Playstation. The movie already has potential cult status and we may be in for a new video game movie heyday. Tye Sheridan, the main character, and Olivia Cooke are very likable in both the real world and in Oasis, and the villain bearing the name Nolan is solid as well, which doesn't seem like a coincidence. Graphically it's very good, the action is varied and entertaining (though there could have been a lot more of it). The best of it comes right at the beginning in the form of a race where we're treated to King Kong and a Tyrannosaurus Rex, then there’s really just the grand finale, unless you count some minor action digressions. The references and Easter Eggs are very good, there are plenty of them and it's almost impossible to spot them all on first viewing. This is an enjoyable original film that is fun, brisk and nicely colored, but I would have liked more humor and more crazy action to complete satisfaction. Still, I look forward to a second viewing. 80%

A nice Russian fantasy film that definitely does not offend. The story didn't draw me in too much, but once the action starts, I was satisfied. There’s blood splattering, the battles are decently filmed, especially the finale and the bear scene are the highlights of the film. So I'm satisfied, but there was still a little something missing for a higher rating. 65%

I was looking forward to an exotic comedy from Mexico, but what I got was a serious emotional romantic drama in which humor is completely absent. Karla Souza is a beautiful woman and nice to look at, but she classically spends the entire film deciding between her ex-boyfriend and her soon-to-be boyfriend, both of whom are likeable, but it say much to me. For my taste, the film is too much for women and especially for relationships in their 30s and at times it drags. If the film had been set entirely at a wedding, it could have been more entertaining for sure. 55%

The third part of the successful Suck Me Shakespeer is unfortunately the weakest and actually useless. The second one spiced up things up by going on a trip, the third one is back at school, but it doesn't have much balls anymore. There are far fewer funny scenes than in the previous installments and I felt like they were running out of ideas, like the movie was made out of a need to make more money. It’s still watchable, Elyas M'Barek is still cool and Gizem Emre is hot. 60%.

Based on a 2011 short film, it's now a movie, and it's an unbelievably brutal psychotic trip that will delight anyone who's the least bit twisted. Don't expect a sophisticated story, intelligent dialogue, Oscar-winning performances or great technical aspects. Visually, the film is almost repulsive, looking like someone found a dusty VHS tape from the 80s in the basemen, but strangely enough, the film has its charms. It's a film about a mute clown who is sleazy, disgusting, tough, doesn't get along with anyone and kills anyone who comes his way. It's got its chilling and bleak atmosphere, excellent gore with perfect make-up effects. Really only for strong characters with strong stomachs. It's a very disturbing spectacle, uncomfortable to watch in places, but will please fans craving blood and nudity. Since I haven't seen anything like it in a long time, I'll gladly give it a four star rating. 70%.

Oh, this is great! The Germans can surprise sometimes and this kidnap road trip suited me. It has an interesting story with a guy robbing a bank and taking a teller hostage, who volunteers to help him, and they have an incredible adventure together. Moritz Bleibtreu is excellent as the robber/kidnapper, a hard rocker who doesn't give a shit and is a joy to talk to, and Axel Stein is a typical wimp, but who turns from a normal decent person into an out of control "animal" in one day? Nicely written characters, great jokes. For me, great fun, balancing between 4 and 5 stars. 85%.

A kinky drama with lots of sexual innuendo with the once again awesome Sam Rockwell, who is addicted to sex. I had a few good laughs and there is an interesting twist, so the film is definitely worth recommending. I'll give it a better three stars, as I found the film slightly out of breath in the second half. 65%

Not too many good horror films have come out this year so far, in fact the only above average was The Ritual, but this new one from Tai Wan definitely deserves attention as it is one of the better, and I haven't seen a good horror film from Asia in years. On the one hand, it's kind of a high school social drama about bullying, where sneaky teenagers give one boy a decent hell, until they come across a monster that has human form and behaves similarly to a vampire. They kidnap, tie up and "bully" him, but they don’t know that somewhere her sister is hiding and willing to do anything to save hm. Very original, surprisingly well shot, and although most of the murders are out of frame, it has a decent atmosphere and the blood is certainly not lacking. The scene on the bus and the subsequent slaughter of the entire class is definitely a highlight of the film. For a two hour film I was entertained. 70%

Pretty decent work for a debut and it's good to see Owen Wilson after a long time. The story is quite interesting, about twins who decide to search for their father and find out that it won't be easy the first time, as their mother was raging at the disco in the 70s and had no problem spreading her legs. There are a few funny sexual innuendos, it's well paced and surprisingly has a very good final twist that was a decent surprise. 65%.
