“Titanfall”, but without the balls. Literally. Weak visual effects, a leaky script and an unlikeable protagonist. It's not just that Jennifer Lopez's acting is bad, she's playing an unlikeable cow that Agent Smith should slap around. Weird dialogue, bland action, and the only thing that can be praised is the…

What else to expect from Vojtěch Jasný, a man with a big heart, than a pure poetic film. The first thing that catches the eye after a few seconds is the rousing music by Svatopluk Havelka, which runs through the whole film. All four short stories are simple in plot, it's the atmosphere and visual experience that's…

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…

Movies featuring an indestructible deep-sea monster stomping through Tokyo never really grabbed my interest. I've seen all the classics like Gappa, the American-Japanese Godzilla from the eighties, and Clash of the Titans with the Kraken — essentially, the sedate, ancient Greek version of the Japanese radioactive,…

An intriguing Korean show. After six episodes, my average rating hit four stars, but honestly, a strong three might've sufficed. If Jun Seo-ha is the main character (and I'm still not entirely sure about that), she didn’t really win me over—she didn’t exactly stand out in the sharp thinking department. Surprisingly,…

Turns out my worries about the lack of tension were totally misplaced. The Korean creators saved most of the action for the finale and packed in plenty of suspense. The family dynamics didn’t really move me, though. Even in Europe, you sometimes see a mother who is also a sister to her child (not always by choice, as…

For a change, this episode showed some improvement as the Korean creators finally let the story progress, bringing in better entertainment. Sure, there were moments where I couldn't quite believe what Sang-ho Yeon came up with, but overall, I had a good time. Plum Blossom isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer…

I was hoping the Koreans would give me the same thrill as the last episode, but this one just didn’t hit the mark. It felt like the creators tried to trick me into thinking it was packed with interesting events, but honestly, the story just stagnated. It was more like treading water than moving forward. / Lesson…
