I'm more than pleasantly surprised. I liked the fact that the film teetered on the edge of serious and quite deliberately crazy until the end, that its director was able to create a decently dense atmosphere and that he wasn't afraid of the ecological subtext, which was given a wonderful twist in the unexpected – but…

Skating in oil! A meta espionage action whirlwind with many incredible twists and turns. Matthew Vaughn takes the viewer for a ride on several levels and yet it's seamlessly coherent and everything makes perfect sense in the end, no matter how absurd the genre crutch. Sam Rockwell is terrific, and the train fight with…

Honestly, this was probably the worst series I wasted my time on this anime season. The animation was weak, the music was forgettable, but those weren’t even the main issues. The biggest problem for me was the main character. His behavior and voice acting made him incredibly unlikable. Aoi Shouta's voice just doesn't…

Richard Linklater is quite an unexplored director for me, his work has always passed me by, so I didn't have high expectations and I wasn't too impressed either. The action was non-existent, the humour minimal to nonexistent and the whole thing hinged on the likable duo of Glen Powell and the beautiful Adria Arjona,…

Fans of Dumas' might not agree, but "The Three Musketeers" is at best "just" period-conditioned consumable reading, excessively naive and heavily romanticized. Directors attempting to adapt the book were aware of its limitations and the resulting risks for today's audience, often opting for exaggeration and comedic…

I'm not a fan of Britney Spears, but I appreciated the explanation of what was happening around her during COVID. Because no one outside the bubble of her audience had any idea that her first global career lasted only relatively briefly, a few years around the turn of the nineties and the millennium. Then, after a…

A dark conclusion to the most provocative cable show. Unfortunately, the creators used up all the attractions, including genre changes and a new location, in the last season. Here, they are left with only total depression to play with. Among the supporting actors, only the black widow Rose McGowan is worth mentioning.

You can’t deny Wes Anderson’s originality, which always leaves me guessing whether I’ll like his new movie or not. I’ve seen some of his works that I absolutely loved, some that barely made it to a mild thumbs-up, and others that dragged on in dreadful boredom. Asteroid City falls into the second category for me,…

What an experience... I was going to rate this a Boo!, but I'm a fan of Tina Fey so one star goes to her. My main issue with this film is that I'm completely over those "hilarious" American comedies about wild college parties. Paula Pell's brilliant idea to replace college kids with adults in the same setting just…

My third encounter with Jo Koy didn't go as well as I'd hoped. While it was certainly better than his Filipino special (which set the bar incredibly low), the show had its awkward moments, especially in the beginning. I often found myself not laughing as much as I'd expected. Thankfully, there were a few solid jokes…
