As I used to love reading about ancient Greek myths and legends at school and repeatedly went back to read them again for years after, I did not find anything in this show very surprising, especially at the beginning. In fact, the whole basic narrative is nothing new. How about the main male protagonist, was he in any…

While it's nothing groundbreaking, it's still a fine, stylish and entertaining Guy Ritchie film with excellent casting. The British army recruits a group of mercenaries to cause trouble for the Nazis and killing Nazis is always fun, just a shame it's not R-rated, because once Alan starts working with his knife, the…

How did the anticipated French horror film Pandemonium turn out? Disastrously! My eyes are playing tricks on me! I was expecting a twisted walk through hell with monsters crammed with gore and guts, a little brother to tthe Turkish Baskin and a kick-start to the French Wave this year, and I got a drama where nothing…

Better than Dune! Excellent, imaginative, romantic comedy with polished action and filmed with incredible flair. David Leitch reminisces about his stunt years and inspires lots of little kids to get punched, smashed and knocked down, then deepfake them into the star of the film. Ryan Gosling in The Nice Guys mode and…

This western is interesting because it plays with motifs somewhat unconventional for the genre. It combines the classic western polarization of characters and life in the American West with the detective genre, and it must be said that Tom Gries did not disgrace himself. Indeed, Breakheart Pass is a film that you can…

A largely overlooked and seemingly unremarkable TV movie, The Matthew Shepard Story struck me as a mix of Soldier's Girl and Prayers for Bobby, though both films were made after it. While this film didn't get me as much as the two aforementioned dramas, it's still a very powerful story whose subject is unfortunately…

A falling page from a book, a lonely lantern, extinguished stars - symbols that signify separation and death, but what always dies last is hope. Even impossible things can become real if we keep hoping. The Impossible is a film that draws on a powerful story based on a true event, and that's why it has such an impact…

What if you're alone in the woods, isolated from everyone who can't understand you, but with someone you secretly love, and only you know about it! I was particularly impressed by the setting of this film (a barracks and a winter forest) and the natural performance of the lead actor, Michael Glantschnig. The dramatic…

White Frog is a fairly unremarkable film with a compelling premise, in which several social issues of our time collide, but even so, I felt at the end that much more could have been wrung from this fertile ground. The cast was mostly likable, except that I somehow couldn't get to like the main character's parents. I…

My recent dive into Asian cinema has been quite the journey, prompting me to wonder, "Where will it end?" It's hard to say, especially when gems like Kim's film catch my eye and keep me thoroughly entertained. Why rush back to the familiar territory of European or American cinema filled with political correctness? The…
