This French historical drama is worth a watch. The men settle their honour by duelling each other with swords or pistols, and the acting is dominated by fencing master Roschdy Zem, who plays a very likeable character. It's got attractive visuals, strong themes like honour, pride and feminism, interesting dueling rules…

The story from an unreliable narrator, a double agent, full of deceit and uncertainty. Hoa Xuande is the discovery of the year, an utterly convincing performance from a chameleon you root for despite his moral failings. He's overshadowed only by the multi-role Robert Downey Jr. and he's a little different every time,…

The first episode with the series' Julia Pennyworth. Casting Christina Wolfe was a classic whitewashing drama because in the comics she's the dark-skinned daughter of Batman's butler Alfred and Mademoiselle Marie (but only since 2014). Originally, everyone was white, and Julia started as Julia Remarque, whose…

A film that offers some impressive moments, but as a whole it mostly skims the surface. It deals with a few key themes, but it is mostly too thesis-like and one-dimensional. A raging America where we get no introduction and a miserable, rushed conclusion. Jesse Plemons steals for himself what is undoubtedly the film's…

It’s too colourful, too CGI-laden, and Jennifer Lopez runs around with her big ass at the beginning and admits in one of the dialogues that she has wrinkles and covers her grey hair because nobody gets younger, and for that she gets my nod because her Botox colleagues in the industry probably see it differently. You…

In her fourth feature film, Jessica Fletcher travels to Ireland and, as it happens, there is another murder that she tries to solve. This time I really liked the music and also the participation of Fionnula Flanagan. All in all, another pretty average whodunit that benefits from a nice production design among other…

A very precise and raw (often even brutal) film, visually enhanced by black and white cinematography and an authentic medieval setting. The acting performances of the main characters were convincing and the music by Zdeněk Liška complemented the powerful visuals perfectly. How far are we actually willing to go for…

I found the fourth installment of the Underworld saga to be the grittiest and bloodiest yet. The plot this time follows more the first and second parts, which was not a bad thing at all, although some might argue that the drastic jumping in time between the episodes does not benefit the series, but it didn't. I…

A pretty raw and starkly historical Nordic film that can be intriguing with its shots of the harsh Swedish countryside and the theme of a journey to love, but I was also put off by the amount of inappropriately (perhaps unintentionally) used black humour. In terms of acting and screenwriting, it was pure average. In…

I like werewolves and vampires, which is why I'm still watching the Twilight saga, for the record. Bella sighs again in the traditional way, for this time she's already sure of her choice of future partner, so this one is a more bearable episode compared to two and three. Everything around it is so similar to the…
