It's a fun and silly show. Some of its aspects worked out great, others didn’t. It's a weird mishmash of all kinds of things, and there are certain rules that the series often fails to follow or simply forgets. The society is portrayed as a matriarchy, with women supposedly holding the main power, but besides initial…

Alan Pakula's All the President's Men is one of my favourite political investigative dramas, and this film, two years younger, takes a slightly different approach. The investigative journalism is still there, but the investigation is more straightforward, more of a life-and-death levitation, the solo of one embattled…

A variation on Reacher, Rambo and all those rogues who have to get justice with their brains and fists and lots of bullets, but this time a little more realistic, bureaucratic and actually less successful.

I might have been a bit generous with my rating, but honestly, the story really pulled me in. This isn’t one of those slow, black-and-white, intimate dramas—it’s a full-blown crime thriller. At first, I was worried they’d expect me to sympathize with the crooks, but that wasn’t the case at all. I actually thought the…

But the days of VHS/DVD rentals are long gone, and Kim's Video is no exception—it closed down years ago. So, what happened to the massive collection of over 50…
