The first episode with the series' Julia Pennyworth. Casting Christina Wolfe was a classic whitewashing drama because in the comics she's the dark-skinned daughter of Batman's butler Alfred and Mademoiselle Marie (but only since 2014). Originally, everyone was white, and Julia started as Julia Remarque, whose…

A film that offers some impressive moments, but as a whole it mostly skims the surface. It deals with a few key themes, but it is mostly too thesis-like and one-dimensional. A raging America where we get no introduction and a miserable, rushed conclusion. Jesse Plemons steals for himself what is undoubtedly the film's…

It’s too colourful, too CGI-laden, and Jennifer Lopez runs around with her big ass at the beginning and admits in one of the dialogues that she has wrinkles and covers her grey hair because nobody gets younger, and for that she gets my nod because her Botox colleagues in the industry probably see it differently. You…

The 61st Disney feature film is a modern blend of classic adventure stories from the Earth's core. The family dynamics are reminiscent of Indiana Jones, but one can practically recall anything from Verne's works to Narnia or Pellucidar. In the context of Disney films, the theme continues from Atlantis: The Lost Empire…

An extraordinarily gentle, quiet and slow film with a pure melancholic soul. It starts out as a profile of overpopulated, rain-soaked Mumbai with a look into the lives of two friends living there and later shifts to a calmer, quieter place. As the debut fictional film of an experienced documentary filmmaker, All We…

For me, it's a big disappointment. I was very much looking forward to Phantom Detectives after the enticing trailer, but I was rather disenchanted. When it comes to the action, it lasts a maximum of 30 seconds, the finale is only two minutes long, which although it the best the film has to offer, as it delivers an…

I should state at the outset that I am more of a Star Wars detractor than a fan. I suffered through Episode VII in the cinema and gave Rogue One a chance mainly because of the new cast and Donnie Yen, who apart from two small action set pieces didn't show much. Fortunately the new film is not as infantile, trivial and…

Definitely an interesting film put together from youtube Vine Star actors which is definitely unusual. The plot is more or less like The Purge but in a school system setting which I found both original and intense. Schoolchildren of all grades write challenging tests every year and after failing the test they are…

I'm having an early Christmas today. The Autopsy of Jane Doe is one of the highlights of this year and I didn't expect it to be the unbeatable number one this year, and I've seen the trailer at least 20 times!! Only an absolute cretin and a spineless motherf*cker can have any complaints here. The film skillfully mixes…

A fine B-movie thriller from a decent director, Gonzalo López-Gallego, who I think is better in horror. On the plus side, the casting features a likable Patrick Wilson, Ian McShane playing an old alkie, and a solid bad guy in John Leguizamo. There’s a brutal scene here and there and a nice Western feel, but all in all…
