Three stars are a bad way to average out a contradictory project that began with my enthusiasm in the first season and ended in deep disappointment during the third season. It must be admitted that the creators managed to extract from very little (the project manages with a minimum of locations and effectively only a…

Only very rarely does a series succeed in creating an atmosphere and style that are difficult to liken to anything else. This series exudes bizarreness, darkness, and the mustiness of decades-old, neglected corners of a decaying house full of inhabitants with twisted characters, corroded by invisible evil. Sticky…

The most ambitious in content, the most magnificent in production design and the strongest in characters of the entire Dollar Trilogy. Unfortunately, it's also excruciatingly long, and as iconic as Morricone's music is, it's mostly about its central melody. Eli Wallach is the most interesting and best-acted character.…

The comparison between Candy and Love & Death is absolutely fantastic. Two miniseries based on the same true crime case filmed around the same time for different networks. Love & Death is a more charming, entertaining HBO drama with attractive actors and a grand courtroom atmosphere in the style of David E.…

The development of the Batwoman series is truly intriguing. The first season emerged at a time when the Arrowverse was expanding into unprecedented dimensions. The solo "Batwoman" series had a great reputation among readers after 2011, but the fundamental problem was that its comic book depiction was geared towards…

Well, this was a very strange and weird film, which is not to knock its quality in any way, but I just had to say it. The life story of Oscar, which is slightly similar to Peter Pan, from his mother's conception to the end of World War II, is truly original. It's an awfully long film, but I still can't say I was…

The potential to engage the viewer with a (not-so) true-to-life story, a compelling cast, and a reasonable running time - all of this was there in a relatively digestible consistency, and yet I can't say that My Own Private Idaho captivated, impressed, or entertained me in any way. Overall, it was a middling drama,…

You will probably consider me a heretic, an artistic buffoon, or an uncomprehending viewer, but I simply cannot give The Godfather II a full score. I thought the first one was better by that one star, mainly because of Marlon Brando's involvement. Al Pacino is great, but as the Godfather, Brando just suited me better.…

What more can I say about this cinematic gem when practically everything has been said. This film stands especially on the performances of the many actors involved: the bohemian Jack Nicholson, the devilish Louise Fletcher, the good-natured Will Sampson, the dim-witted Brad Dourif, all of whom give wonderful…

Sucker Punch is technically on a high level (although there were some reserves here as well) and has a deeper story, but it becomes flat runway as it progresses. It felt like a mash-up of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (because of the imagination, which to its detriment sometimes really knew no bounds) and 300 …
