The Wave (2019) 

Englisch A hallucinogenic, dreamlike, captivating, and quite entertaining film starring Justin Long. He  takes a mysterious drug at a party and goes on a crazy trip. Roaming through rooms, alternative dimensions, hallucinations, and a somewhat fantastical view of the world. Once the dealer played Ronnie Gene Blevins comes into the scene (he is simply exemplary and terrifying), things take a rather decent turn. Decent. Story****, Action***, Humor**, Violence*, Entertainment****, Music***, Visual****, Atmosphere****, Tension***. 6/10.

Mes chères études (2010) (Fernsehfilm) 

Englisch A strong erotic drama on the edge of sexploitation, with a sometimes uncomfortable, authentic, hopeless and very realistically portrayed insight into today's prostitution. The story focuses on the beautiful 19-year-old Laura, she is in school, but lacks the money to pay for everything and so she tries this "last" option of sex for money. This leads to an uncontrollable and fateful spiral, where we see the protagonist going from one apartment to another and doing quite naughty things. Nudity is shown in all its beauty and it may be uncomfortable for some female viewers. France is once again on form. Story****, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment****, Music***, Visual***, Atmosphere****, Tension***. 7.5/10.

Mr. Dentonn (2014) 

Englisch Nice atmosphere and a good-looking villain, but that's pretty much it. It looks good, but more drive wouldn't hurt. 6/10.

Dragon quest: Your story (2019) 

Englisch The animation is very good at the level of Disney and Pixar, but the story didn't really interest me and the humor is absent, which is the most disappointing. However, the different monsters are great and the finale is nicely action-packed and grand at the same time. The final plot twist is also interesting and well-thought-out. Better than the third one. Story***, Action***, Humor>No, Violence>No, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere***, Tension*. 6/10.

Clarita (2019) 

Englisch A praised horror film from the Philippines about exorcism set in a prison. Personally, exorcism is probably the most boring and least interesting theme in horror, it’s impossible to come up with anything interesting. A priest in a black cassock holds a cross and sprinkles holy water everywhere, we've seen that hundreds of times. Fortunately, Clarita is at least a little bit interesting thanks to the prison setting, which is not completely typical for the genre. I liked the decent make-up effects,there are some quite brutal scenes (a finger being bitten off or a nice twisting of a woman's joints in the shower, that reminded me of the legendary scene from Suspiria). It’s nicely shot and the acting is not bad either. The atmosphere is decent in some places, but the scenes outside of the prison didn't really interest me and lost some pace, but as the first new release of this year, it's decent. Fans of exorcism could be even more satisfied. Story***, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals***, Atmosphere****, Tension***. 6/10.

Bimileun eobda (2016) 

Englisch I have to join the side of those who were also did not enjoy this film at all. It’s a tedious and incredibly slow drama, pretending to be a thriller thanks to the final twist, which had no impact on me because I wished it to end already. Son Ye-jin is probably the only positive aspect, she acts really well and the visuals are traditionally okay, but otherwise it was completely off for me. Story***, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment**, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere**, Tension**. 4/10.

Vikings - Season 6 (2019) (Staffel) 

Englisch The 6th season was more interesting than the 5th thanks to the discovery of the Rus, but that's about it. The series is just treading water now. You have to wait nine episodes for one battle, all the interesting characters are gone and only the annoying ones remain. The biggest paradox to me is that the least interesting character from the entire series is the only one who has survived. I wasn't bored, but I was watching more out of principle. Visually, it doesn't compare at all to the first season. 6/10.

Sequence (2013) 

Englisch This is awesome! A guy wakes up one day with everyone being afraid of him because he the whole world has had a nasty dream about. His life is falling apart before his eyes and he experiences an unimaginable nightmare. The finale? It is unexpectedly brutal and literally delicious. 9/10.

The Lander (2018) 

Englisch An audiovisual Sci-Fi CGI banger in the style of Predator, about fighting lizards on a beautiful planet. Four loaded minutes! 8/10.

Blizzard of Souls - Zwischen den Fronten (2019) 

Englisch Very nicely shot by Latvian standards, and the First World War setting is definitely welcome. However, the film suffers from it and turns out to be a bit boring. The characters didn't interest me much, it is necessary to clarify that the film is primarily a war drama, with very little action, and even there is some action, it is mostly uninteresting. It lacks brutality, intensity, and tension. The soldiers stand in place, shoot, reload, the end. I understand that the weapons in the First World War were different from those in the Second, but it could definitely have done more interestingly. Additionally, the Latvian army was very small, so it appears modest in every aspect. For me, it is not gritty and rough enough, it is too polished, and the civilian scenes are tedious. The protagonist goes through three partners, and I don't need to see that in a war movie. Those who prefer romance, emotions, and a drawn-out story over war carnage will be satisfied. Story***, Action**, Humor**, Violence*, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Tension**. 5/10.
