Another Korean action romp that grabs you right from the beginning and doesn't let up until the end. The protagonist is a young cadet at the police academy, he is a model student, but he stops liking that the law doesn't apply to everyone, most criminals don't get a proper punishment and after a while they run free to…

A riveting flight through of two decades of love, hate, ups, downs and twists and turns surrounding the New England Patriots. It's true that put together like this, there are so many controversies, affairs, strange behind-the-scenes shenanigans and twists and turns that it defies all probability. If it were scripted,…

The decline of male role models in fairy tales is sad, but what scares me here is more the overcomplication of motives leading to possession by evil. Yet the primary one - not fulfilling all wishes - is not satisfactorily explained. The attempt at realism thus comes up empty, and the kids just won't get it. Otherwise,…

This new horror short is a big hit on YouTube right now, featuring a horror version of Spider-Man, and it's good! The main character is Peter, who gets bitten by a spider, only this time he doesn't put on a costume, because he starts turning into an ugly shape. A good short with Cronenberg-style of body horror and…

The first season is excellent, a nice mix of horror and social drama with a touch of Jordan Peele. The second season is completely different and may disappoint a lot of people. It’s much more crime drama with elements of the supernatural, and there is much less horror than expected, but when I step back from that I…

Dallas Buyers Club is a film whose main pillars are the subject based on a true story and very good performances of both leading actors, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Both of them have taken their roles conscientiously and their performances are convincing, so I am not at all surprised that both of them got the…

Never Dry Your Tears without Gloves is the loosely translated title of a very fine Swedish miniseries that tackles a rewarding subject for a TV show. It deals mainly with sexuality and interpersonal relationships, at a time when a completely new and unknown disease has begun to spread through the world and is killing…

Hawaii is in many ways a very minimalist film, as it is confined to a small space in which (except for a few scenes) virtually only two characters are featured, and rather than dialogue, the camera's views of the protagonists are in the foreground. Some say it was boring, but I was impressed by the film's modesty,…

The first Percy Jackson was a kind of a light-hearted American family fantasy flick that I liked and I was quite impressed with. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the second, as I found it too commercial and focused on a lot of wannabe funny scenes and moments that didn't entertain me as much as they probably…

Finally! Finally, the first concept of Superman in which the main character doesn't have his red briefs awkwardly pulled over his suit and wear something resembling a pig tail on his forehead. Overall, this movie is very different from previous adaptations of the comic, which I liked a lot as a result. Henry Cavill is…
