The film is full of famous names that shaped the face of French cinema over the last 50 years, often at the beginning of their stellar careers. However, its interest - and in a way, its importance - lies elsewhere. It adeptly (if unintentionally) captures the transformation that the intellectual left-wing scene…

I'd say director Yuichi Abe (who also served as the action director) either really loves this novel (or maybe just the maid Sylpha) or was just determined to impress. The dynamic, breathtaking, and beautifully choreographed action sequences featuring the maid/swordswoman were incredible. The training scene with Lloyd…

A 6/10 rating seems fair for this one. The production values, especially the animation, are at best mediocre. This is particularly evident in the fight scenes, which lack impact, with stiff character movements and unimpressive effects. The biggest problem, though, is the pacing. The story feels sterile and much less…

Muhammad Ali (1942–2016) was the 16th heavyweight boxing world champion, but by his time, the original idea was already there, as Jack Dempsey first fulfilled it. The story of this champion is full of activism, racism, and politics. In his career, not even the black bomber Joe Louis was important anymore, but rather…

Rocky Marciano (1923-1969) was the son of Italian immigrants, shaped by the legendary boxing match between Louis and Schmeling in 1938. He became the 11th heavyweight boxing world champion shortly after defeating his childhood hero Louis and subsequently Joe Walcott. This film is great because it's not just about the…

Episode three felt different from the previous one —I  was even ready to write about the shift in atmosphere and the noticeable drop in action. What a fool I was! I totally underestimated the Koreans because after that wild ending, I had to check in the mirror to make sure I didn't have any blood splatters on my face.…

Alright, so now I'm hooked on two shows where I'm apparently supposed to root for drug dealers and their associates. Honestly, I'm struggling with that a bit, so in a world where I have to choose between the mafia and crooked cops, I’m sticking to my neutral ground and enjoying the solid, action-packed spectacle the…

A future Christmas classic, but one that is so audience-friendly that it will play at 7pm after Home Alone. Krampus is lively and has a likeable and entertaining cast, especially the boorish David Koechner who steals up all the jokes for himself and gets away with it. The atmosphere is properly Christmassy, and quite…
