Skating in oil! A meta espionage action whirlwind with many incredible twists and turns. Matthew Vaughn takes the viewer for a ride on several levels and yet it's seamlessly coherent and everything makes perfect sense in the end, no matter how absurd the genre crutch. Sam Rockwell is terrific, and the train fight with…

Honestly, this was probably the worst series I wasted my time on this anime season. The animation was weak, the music was forgettable, but those weren’t even the main issues. The biggest problem for me was the main character. His behavior and voice acting made him incredibly unlikable. Aoi Shouta's voice just doesn't…

Richard Linklater is quite an unexplored director for me, his work has always passed me by, so I didn't have high expectations and I wasn't too impressed either. The action was non-existent, the humour minimal to nonexistent and the whole thing hinged on the likable duo of Glen Powell and the beautiful Adria Arjona,…

Fans of Dumas' might not agree, but "The Three Musketeers" is at best "just" period-conditioned consumable reading, excessively naive and heavily romanticized. Directors attempting to adapt the book were aware of its limitations and the resulting risks for today's audience, often opting for exaggeration and comedic…

Each generation interprets the myth of the empress a bit differently. This is a highly original interpretation and one of the few that focuses on the end of her life as the main theme. Her relationship with the last lady-in-waiting and the events in Corfu. The artistic license taken is quite wild, especially regarding…

I'm more than pleasantly surprised. I liked the fact that the film teetered on the edge of serious and quite deliberately crazy until the end, that its director was able to create a decently dense atmosphere and that he wasn't afraid of the ecological subtext, which was given a wonderful twist in the unexpected – but…

Edith Piaf was a controversial figure who battled her own demons that consumed her, but despite the countless obstacles in her life, she never gave up what made her immortal, her singing. The film about "The Little Sparrow" is a perfect biopic drama that doesn't lack depth, elegance and appeal. Marion Cotillard gives…

A perfect cast in a brisk action comedy, which definitely does not mean that if you are old, you are immediately written off, because even "grandpas" and "grandmas" can have a good time. The premise is a bit simplistic and the denouement a bit predictable, but the concept of the action sequences is amazing. John…

The success of this film rests largely on the outstanding performances of many of the actors involved, especially the central trio of James Stewart, Farley Granger and John Dall. The atmosphere in an apartment somewhere in America thickens unstoppably throughout the film, and the loop of betrayal tightens dangerously…

The 1980s belonged, among others, to an action muscleman born in Austria, none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger, who starred in many successful sci-fi films of the aforementioned decade. Predator is a brisk, bloody and thrilling trip into the jungle where something else, better said alien, lurks among the trees…
