I don't have any issues saying with a clear conscience that I was thrilled by the third Thor. It's very funny, fresh, unique... And it is not the laser disco parody that it might seem from the trailers, but a regular and in many ways important chapter from the life of the God of Thunder. Absolutely all the characters are interesting, none are excessive and no one is annoying (here I'd like to highlight mainly Loki and Grandmaster performed by the great Jeff Goldblum), and Cate Blanchett’s Hela,who was enjoying herself, was a safe bet. And one more observation - the Hulk is also funny, but Bruce Banner is even funnier, which Marvel had not accomplished up to this point. Taika Waititi pleasantly surprised me, he is good at humor and imaginative action (what he shows in the introduction with Mjolnir trumps the entire previous film), it all looks beautiful and thanks to Mark Mothersbaugh's retro music, it’s got exceptional zest.

An excellent acted documentary, which, from start to finish, gives off a very authentic impression and is designed mainly for viewers obsessed with the JFK theme. There are a lot of characters, none of them are the main character and almost everyone has their moment. A number of scenes are hellishly strong and I appreciate how the screenwriter and director managed to balance the mournful patriotic mood of the film so that (at least for me) it didn't seem cheap and I didn't feel that it was blackmailing me emotionally.

I don't know what Stefan Zweig would say, but I really liked the imaginative audacity with which Alfréd Radok seized his book. He made a fictional TV broadcast in which some of the actors play themselves, some play others... And the others, they don't even know if they're actors or who they really are. Reporters interrupt their speech, illuminators shine light into the image, there is confusion on the set, and a documentary film enters it all, and it might as well be about Jára Cimrman. The atmosphere is mostly funny, but it can also be chilling. Seventeen years later a more traditional adaptation of Královská hra was created, in which Rudolf Hrušínský played the character of the chess grandmaster again.

Unlike Drive, this time I didn't get the impression that I was watching (or trying to watch) a self-important film about nothing. Only God Forgives is a very stylish, gritty short story from the Asian underworld, which confuses the viewer but is not confused itself, it moves forward a snail’s pace, but also at a persistent pace and boils under a seemingly immobile neon color level. The flaw on its beauty is only the not-exactly-convincing performance by Ryan Gosling - the silent looks in his performance look the same all the time, and I can't even imagine what he's experiencing or what he's thinking. Kristin Scott Thomas, of course, is in a completely different acting league, and her overbearing, bashful mobster makes her memorable.

“Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong..." I had as much fun as when I watched the first film, if not even more. Yes, it's actually a typical sequel - bigger, crazier, longer and so on, but at the same time it's still great fun that is able to combine with childish joy everything that it creators came up with (including a few very touching scenes and clever satire), and which has tons of great and unique ideas that many other films can only envy.

A very atmospheric, cold crime film with one immensely tense and thrilling scene that the screenwriter (and director) allow to be interspersed with another, even more tense scene, which can then hit the viewer (who is prepared for anything) with something that we hardly ever see these days. Wind River is like an icy whiff of the good old film days, when crime films and thrillers cared mostly about characters, and when a duel between two people was enough for a memorable ending.

Dave Bautista gave a sensational performance in Blade Runner 2049, portraying a memorable and important character in a small space. And while this short didn't tell me much more about him, it's good.

I was skeptical and convinced that Blade Runner didn't need a sequel, that it could no longer be as good, and I just want to think about what happened to Deckard, and to not know that I couldn't handle two hours of forty expression of Ryan Gosling... So imagine my surprise when, after some fifteen minutes, I threw all the skepticism aside and watched a great film with pretty similar feelings to the first film. The story is thankfully not typical, but it has a lot of its own ideas and thoughts, the actors are excellent without exception, it looks and sounds fantastic and a number of scenes are literally unforgettable (making love with a hologram, the scene with Elvis, the final confrontation). I only wondered if it wasn't a shame that Blade Runner 2049 didn't offer as many questions at the end and that it does not end with three dots, but actually with just one. But it's not a shame.___P.S. Ghost in the Shell can now go and hide in the corner.

A bold film that can do without words and suffices only with occasional sound effects (steps, laughter, slaps...), the deep eyes of Jana Brejchová and, of course, the great music of Luboš Fišer. However, I will have to watch Romanetto one more time, because I was expecting something a little different and it wasn’t able to completely keep my attention today.

No short story stands out in terms of processing or plot, and all four are pleasantly balanced in this respect. However, the third story has a great cast (as soon as Jaroslav Marvan and Zdeňka Baldová play the couple, it's a safe bet, and add to them the irresistible tragicomic figure of Ladislav Peška), and the excellent performance of the amazing Eman Fiala stands out from the fourth story. Hašek would be happy.
