3DD!3

An excellent prehistoric treat starring dinosaurs in love. Fun, playful, original, and the final twist with the cat is brilliant.

We have a new hero at home. Forky is a favourite of the little one and he intersperses educational drivel with bad jokes and cheerful dances, and at home we are satisfied. The episode with the cup is great. I understand the low ratings, parents don’t have time for FilmBooster and the kids don’t have FilmBooster. I hope I’ll be able to procure a plastic spork before the EU bans them.

It's a reflection on people, about who we are and what we are willing to do for our lifestyle. About morality, fleeting feelings of happiness and lying to ourselves that we were actually doing it for the greater good. Garland's subject walks untrodden island paths in the shoes of a dim-witted, young-faced American, Leonardo DiCaprio, who destroys relationships and a community that was looking for a better life because it was bored in the real world. The scenes with Robert Carlyle are a beautiful manifestation of the modern concept of madness. There’s not a single likeable character.

It was good. Giacchino fulfils his childhood dreams and after composing film music, he also makes films like he did in his cellar when he was a kid. The horror atmosphere is fine, even the quite surprising plot with the lesson that monsters stick together. Maybe the visual effects sequences and the black and white stylisation are a bit weird.

A giant sow standing on a skyscraper?! The classic theme of oblivious masters with a superheroic setting offers some good jokes, well-paced action and a fairly infantile plot. The main villain is properly psychopathic and the disparate band of heroes is quite entertaining. Nothing extraordinary, nothing extraordinarily bad. Decent fun for the little fans of animals and DC. P.S: The post-credit scene is quite something. Black Adam’s dog is very unlikeable, if it is in the film, I’m not going to the cinema :)

Andrew Dominik recreates the heavy atmosphere surrounding Norma Jean’s horrific life right from the very first scene, with Hollywoodland in flames. His work with the picture, alternating cameras, colors and lighting and even picture size surprisingly enhances the storytelling, rather than being a distraction. Ana de Armas’ performance is fantastic, styled as housewife on the brink of madness, slash promiscuous movie star. The way the story is broken up into separate scenes is sometimes confusing, but necessary, otherwise the movie would have to last four hours. The dream and drug sequences at the end are a delight. The premiere of Some Like It Hot ("I Love Love Love You All") with the monster photographers is the high point of the whole movie. It is certainly more watchable than Mank, but Blonde just isn’t a movie for everybody. If you let it, it’ll swallow you whole. P.S.: The White House scene is far from a disappointment!

An ideal pre-sleep watch. Nighttime versions of us who do what we don’t want to is a concept taken to perfection. And it’s all crowned by a wild action sequence flirting with parody. One of the best episodes. Who wants a six-pack like that?!

Oliver Stone looks at the Vietnam War for a third time, this time through the eyes of civilians in the cross-fire. Inspired by the true story of a Vietnamese refugee leads the viewer through all of the lying that attempts to justify needless provocation by one or the other side of the conflict. The closing scene where the excellent Tommy Lee Jones comes sauntering in shows the real face of war. Arms trafficking, money and territory - what else is war about? And it’s nobody’s and at the same time everybody’s fault. Both sides of any conflict represent evil. That’s food for thought, especially right now.

Brutally meta. And maybe so much so, that most people won’t get it. And the target audience is tiny. In terms of style, Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers follows on from Who Killed Roger Rabbit, but modernizes it, turns it upside down and draws on Mickey’s wide pallet of characters. It contains millions of nods (Roger’s quattro-cameo is just psycho) and funny references. Just the situation reigning at the beginning, where Dale is a defunct series star, Chip is a postman, Monty Jack is just a junkie with debts and Zip and Gadget hump with no condom so often that they have 12 kids already, sets the bar very high. An unexpected surprise.

A rather shaky B-movie, where the pretty poor screenplay is saved by lively action and some great ideas. Foxx is enjoying himself, but that’s about it; the role of a pool cleaner is terribly hackneyed. Even Dave Franco has more interesting character development (stops peeing himself). Just another lukewarm offering from Netflix. One of the few things that I liked were the Hawaiian shirts.
