I hadn't given Boo! rating in 3 and a half years (!!), and now I’m doing it with gusto. Nunsploitation, the naughty stuff the Italians used to regale us with in the 1970s, a genre that, together with Nazisploitation, is one of my only two hated ones (otherwise, at the age of 52, I can swallow anything), a monstrosity…

It still has certain qualities; it’s really great that covid didn’t cut the series short, but the part focusing on the birth of the United States is quite exhausting now (though logically more attractive to an American audience). The constant dramas are so repeatedly fatal that it paradoxically leads to numbness. I’ve…

Pure, unfiltered Arnold at his finest. It’s the kind of film built entirely around one man—the guy who found his niche in Hollywood, not just because he was insanely ripped, but because he had a great sense of humor too. What I wouldn’t give for a star like that today...

Feels like we used to get way more of these wild, over-the-top American comedies about 10-15 years ago. Maybe it’s the whole hyper-correct era we’re in, or maybe it’s just the actors these days. Hard to say. Either way, Josh Duhamel totally nailed it. It’s a bit of a mess, a bit outrageous... but exactly the kind of…

For a Belmondo film, this one’s surprisingly gritty. The main villain is a full-blown psychopath, and I’m not sure if French cinema had a more unhinged character at the time. But then again, it's still Belmondo, so you're entertained throughout. Even when the villain goes on a rampage in some kind of psychedelic…

A film that might not make a global splash but managed to captivate and brighten my day with its 116 minutes. I’m not sure how much the film’s storyline deviates from the real-life events, but I can understand if the creators didn’t feel the need to embellish it much. Kate Mara fully embraced her role; I believed in…

The era, which I previously knew little about, completely captivated me with what happened in the 1970s in our western neighbor’s country. I have a strong appreciation for German cinema because it often wins me over, even if it doesn’t feature familiar faces. When a film boasts quality, I cast aside such concerns.…

The first film, upon its release, felt like a revelation. A movie about monsters coming to Earth through a dimensional rift seemed crazy at first glance, but the opposite turned out to be true. Del Toro’s grand project was indeed successful (though personally, I wasn’t blown away by it), likely thanks to his…

About a year ago, we saw a nearly documentary-style portrayal of the Boston Marathon bombing by Berg, focusing primarily on the criminals and the subsequent manhunt and capture of the terrorists. It didn't emphasize the impact on those most affected by the explosion. Stronger approaches it from a different angle,…

Following the clever yet captivating Ex Machina, Garland has delivered another intriguing film that not only entertains but also provokes questions and offers a series of prompts for reflection. This is why I love sci-fi films with a deeply unsettling atmosphere. Here, it avoids excessive violence (though I must admit…
