The World of Strawberry Shortcake is pure charm. This phenomenon started as a series of holiday cards and greetings with typical illustrations of a little cook in a puffy skirt. In the 80s, along with Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake was among the most popular cartoons for preschool children, who then moved on to…

A delightful B-movie with a demented script by Kurt Wimmer, with extreme and bloody action. I don't understand who consulted and explained to the filmmakers the general workings of computers, how phishing takes place, what the lairs look like, where the millions disappear from the retirement accounts of American…

Already ridiculed in its day, this film is based on a derided novel by Maurice Sandoz, interesting perhaps only because it was illustrated in 1945 by Salvador Dali himself. It's hard to write about this film and not to spoil the plot twist at the end that is the only memorable thing about the whole film. Until then,…

I discovered the disco queen, Donna Summer, in the movie Spinning Gold. This extraordinary singer, whose American career was preceded by one in West Germany, has a story that practically wrote itself, requiring only the presentation of all its elements. As a child, she was bullied and bore a scar from barbed wire on…

Is this the same Sollima who did Sicario 2 and is an expert on European gangster movies? The beginning still looked promising, the protagonist is at a disgusting gay party full of drugs and alcohol, where he is tasked with filming a minister, blackmailed by the cops, only he fails to complete the task and goes on the…

A romantic-dramatic comedy about a love that was not favoured by the social climate of the time and many other circumstances. The Trip is a film that purposefully mixes comic and relaxed scenes with tense and tragic ones, while the love story finds its place. Even though it's more of a modest and (in appearance) TV…

Aaron lives his stereotypical life as an Orthodox Jew and feels dead inside, but all that changes with the arrival of Ezri. Aaron's life takes a breath and he finds himself in a dream. But there always comes a day when everyone must wake up. An engaging film with a likeable lead cast that draws on a fairly unorthodox…

500 Days of Summer is a sweet romantic dramedy with a likable cast in the lead roles and an unconventionally portrayed relationship between two people who meet by chance. Aside from the narrative style, which was purposefully non-linear, I liked the uncharacteristic ending, which gives a run for its money to the vast…

Why did I watch this film? Because of Kate Winslet! And why didn't I turn it off after the first story she appeared in? I thought maybe I'd get a few more laughs! Still, if it weren't for the uncharacteristically morbid tampon commercial and the relatively funny (but also silly) "never mind - never mind" I might not…

I was very interested in The New Normal as a series after the first couple of episodes, but it lost its breath at times during the first season, with overly blatantly educational and sentimental (in a bad way) scenes coming to the surface, but the the season finale was good, so I'm looking forward to the next one. The…
