The main thing you will take away from this film is that Vittorio Storaro (Coppola's Apocalypse Now) was a grandmaster of the camera, a GRANDMASTER! Without knowing in advance who was holding that wonderful optics machine, I immediately noticed the amazing visual compositions, of which there are many, along with the…

As I used to love reading about ancient Greek myths and legends at school and repeatedly went back to read them again for years after, I did not find anything in this show very surprising, especially at the beginning. In fact, the whole basic narrative is nothing new. How about the main male protagonist, was he in any…

While it's nothing groundbreaking, it's still a fine, stylish and entertaining Guy Ritchie film with excellent casting. The British army recruits a group of mercenaries to cause trouble for the Nazis and killing Nazis is always fun, just a shame it's not R-rated, because once Alan starts working with his knife, the…

How did the anticipated French horror film Pandemonium turn out? Disastrously! My eyes are playing tricks on me! I was expecting a twisted walk through hell with monsters crammed with gore and guts, a little brother to tthe Turkish Baskin and a kick-start to the French Wave this year, and I got a drama where nothing…

Better than Dune! Excellent, imaginative, romantic comedy with polished action and filmed with incredible flair. David Leitch reminisces about his stunt years and inspires lots of little kids to get punched, smashed and knocked down, then deepfake them into the star of the film. Ryan Gosling in The Nice Guys mode and…

Gayby caught my attention with its (at first sight) strange title, so I decided to watch it. I have to say that I was quite disappointed, both with the script and the acting. The plot is a cliché (SPOILER!) - two people who have known each other since time immemorial, one disappoints the other, the other pouts, but…

Jack The Giant Slayer is an absolutely (but absolutely) archetypal fantasy film that replicates overseas productions of recent years in almost every way. A cast of mostly well-known and lesser-known actors, a slightly predictable script (although that little trip to the present day made me happy), and a ton of visual…

Thirteen or So Minutes is a film that is mainly based on a conversation between the two main characters who suddenly find themselves in a situation that neither of them believed they would ever get into. Yet, it happened and they both have to deal with it somehow. It's a shame that despite the good premise, I felt…

A largely overlooked and seemingly unremarkable TV movie, The Matthew Shepard Story struck me as a mix of Soldier's Girl and Prayers for Bobby, though both films were made after it. While this film didn't get me as much as the two aforementioned dramas, it's still a very powerful story whose subject is unfortunately…
