Sand Land feels like the anime version of Mad Max, infused with a dash of fantasy and sci-fi from the mind of the late, great author of the Dragon Ball series, Akira Toriyama. Toriyama's signature humor style and overall atmosphere are unmistakable, reminiscent of the original Dragon Ball. Despite its simplicity, the…

Because of the strong main female protagonist (Aoi) and the prevalence of charming male characters, this is definitely an anime series aimed more at a female audience, although it is far from boring. As I mentioned before, the big draw here is the very appealing Aoi, who is mostly the driving force behind the plot and…

A pretty nice movie with Mark Wahlberg going on an adventure race in the jungle where he meets a dog and becomes a full-fledged member of the team. I'm a bit disappointed that the race itself lacks any sort of typical survival parameters, there was no significant thrilling obstacle apart from the cable car, and the…

Teenage silliness with a fresh idea involving two dead guys who are detectives solving supernatural cases and various ghosts, witches and other monsters. I was quite looking forward to it, I'm just disappointed that it's conceived in a teenage style. It's kind of a combination of Wednesday, Ghostbusters and Chilling…

Shogun is definitely a revelation in the series field this year and should be seen by everyone. Until the 5th episode I was sure of a 5 star rating, but then my great enthusiasm started to wane as my faith in some epic battle started to fade away, and it ended up being very intimate. The series has spectacular sets,…

When I found out that Tim Burton was going to join forces with Christoph Waltz and that two songs by my favourite Lana Del Rey were to be featured on the soundtrack, I couldn't wait. In the end, however, I am not happy with Big Eyes. The story wasn't bad, and neither were the performances, but I found it kind of bland…

A breathtaking documentary that offers a glimpse of the beauty of coral reefs, which are full of life and hide many secrets and animals of different shapes and sizes, through beautiful images. It also highlights the current state of these ecosystems rich in fauna and flora, which are threatened by the most advanced…

Every age of our planet Earth has had its animal titans who dominated the times and seemed unattainable. This was also the case in the Ice Age, which was dominated by giant mammoths. This documentary uses computer technology to reconstruct the lives of these formidable creatures and tries to bring them closer to…

Wild follows a similar vein to Sean Penn's Into the Wild, and thou the latter is more impressive and somehow more memorable, Jean-Marc Vallée's film is also worth seeing and holds the bar quite high. I liked the interweaving of the present line with the past, revealing bit by bit the reason for the pilgrimage across…

Eroticon is an extraordinary and pioneering film for its time - thematically and stylistically - as it offers a number of technically well-executed scenes alongside taboo themes and topics. Gustav Machatý succeeded in making a film that, even after many decades, still commands respect and is still engaging. One of the…
