For 20 years, I have fondly remembered the older TV movie Lucy (2003), I adore the original series I Love Lucy, and of course, Kidman. Therefore, my expectations were high, and so is my disappointment. But Aaron Sorkin, though he has been working on the film for a long time and was even there when Kidman tried to find…

A clever, well thought out script with a message about the fear of changes in life. Great pacing, top-notch acting – the dialogue! – Glen Powell disappears into the role. The story builds beautifully and there is no action at all. A lovely romantic film, with which Richard Linklater fulfills the dream of a lot of…

I can understand all the objections from die-hard fans of Yellowstone and 1883. Yes, it's a little more difficult with 1923, because it's moodily disjointed, emotionally sprawling, with several story lines developing to too much breadth, and the ending of the first season is actually far from what one expects after…

This new French comedy didn't quite sit right with me. I guess I'm fed up with Francophone social realism, no matter the genre. Once it's about finding a solution to a pre-lost battle in Two Days, One Night, then it's about testing whether it's a divine matter in The Brand New Testament, but the point is, they're all…

The genre classification here raises expectations of a slightly different experience, but the resulting film is neither much action nor much comedy, so beware. That said, I was pleasantly surprised. An original idea, a nicely thought out script, hugely charismatic characters (Glen Powell has been on a really nice run)…

The problem with most films starring Eddie Murphy is his very presence. His grimaces and gestures have long been clichés, so his performance is not that funny and any memory of him fizzles out like steam over a pot by the end. The premise isn't bad at all, the effects are decent, and Gabrielle Union is adorable. The…

A film that ultimately limps along because of a completely insufferable trio of children who really started to get on my nerves after a while. It's imaginative and Sissy Spacek is likeable and fine, but the rest was one big cliché after another. In short, a typical 90's family comedy that could have definitely been…

This average film about the legendary hero in black has a bland plot, but also a stellar and likeable cast. Even though it's kind of clear from the beginning how it's probably going to turn out, I still really enjoyed the final twenty minutes. In short, within the limits and genre, this is a slightly above average…

I've known the story of the little elephant with oversized ears since I was a kid, but it's only now that I've seen the movie version of this Disney classic. Even though I have grown out of fairy tales for the little ones, I was still very impressed by several scenes, like the collapse of the elephant pyramid or the…

I, Legend may be another in a series of films about a global pandemic that has wiped out almost all life on Earth, but it does bring something new to the table. The view of a post-apocalyptic decayed New York, where it is not uncommon to encounter wildlife (not only) in the streets, is really realistic and well…
