After nine years, the spin-off prequel to the fourth installment of the established franchise from a nearly 80-year-old geezer... If it weren't for the Mad Max franchise and the old-timer George Miller, one would have expected a mess. But that series is Mad Max and that old man is the visionary Miller, or once again,…

It took three years for the emotions to settle. In the meantime, I watched all of Supergirl and Superman & Lois. But now I'm quite curious about how the series managed to continue with the new Batwoman played by Javicia Leslie. The problem (or advantage, depending on how you look at it) is the fact that the new…

A bit of a disappointment for me, only the awesome finale pulls it up to a higher rating, but otherwise a bit of a letdown. The light-hearted concept bothered me a bit, unfortunately it isn't very funny and most of the actors overact disgustingly theatrically (Andrew Koji downright pissed me off here and doesn't…

A decent, manipulative European oddity on an interesting subject, where Mia Wasikowska (she looks terrible!) shows students new dietary trends, which soon leads to kids stopping eating and parents being sick of it. Too bad it doesn't go into further extremes and there's probably only one properly unpleasant scene. The…

George Miller is a god and serves up another excellent post-apocalyptic blast. If Fury Road was a 10, this is a very solid 9! Another great visually lavish cinematic experience, of which there won't be many this year, so don't hesitate any longer and head on over! It tells the revenge story of a young Furiosa in an…

A historical television studio play about a real figure from ancient history, the last Roman emperor who practiced old pagan cults and attempted to reverse the shift towards monotheistic religion. This film is simply poorly written; it doesn’t work as a drama, and instead of building towards any catharsis, it stalls…

The director certainly did not choose a representative sample of her generation, and above all, she failed to maintain the necessary distance from the women she interviewed. This is related to the lack of sharp editing, so at times it feels like a women's gathering that a man might ironically dismiss as "a bunch of…

When the surrealism of the Film becomes indistinguishable from the miraculous nature of Scripture, actors wandering through locations reminiscent of De Chirico's nocturnes may encounter biblical doubles of themselves. Just as a religious film encounters its own double in a mix of Pilate-style poliziotteschi, at times…

This film was inspired by the Soviet science fiction novel published in the early 70s by a group of authors under a pseudonym. The sci-fi genre didn’t thrive in the ideologically constrained cultural environment, and mostly survived on the fringes until the mid-80s. The story had a horror tone, where a group of…
