3DD!3

This European version of Homeland is tailored to address today’s migration issues. The Swedish know how to get the viewer hooked and  Caliphate gives all of the protagonists a hard time right from the first episode. Things begin to heat up for a woman who goes to Syria to find a better life, for a fanatical policewoman and also for a father whose daughter is fanaticized by craftily sent YouTube links. The film has momentum and verve, as well as often eye-opening lessons that might do some good for society. It's just a shame that at the end its creators shrank away from presenting the real moral of the story. Some characters behave irrationally and the twists are a bit odd, probably so it wouldn’t end up as badly as it might have. On the whole, Caliphate is a strong and thrilling film that squeezes the maximum out of the genre. A must see for all EMPs.

I was looking forward to a demonic Tom Hanks but it didn’t happen! The plot about installing Big Brother in every household wasn’t bad, but the film ends at the very moment when it could at last have started to operate in the nicely presented world. Emma Watson is pleasantly down to earth, but that’s more or less it. P.S. I liked the clean design of all of the apps shown.

When you think it couldn’t get any more crazy, an version of Usama Bin Laden appears who doesn’t believe in God, is tolerant to gays and makes a great cup of tea. To add to things, spacetime is slowly collapsing in on itself. Genius!

Fantastic production design, likeable characters. It's one of those deus ex machina narratives without a major climax, but it's great as a diversion.

This is what happens when you don’t have a tough Jack Bauer, but a cute Maggie Q instead. It seems a bit weird having Kiefer as a peace-loving president, but from time to time we get a glimpse of him as we know and love him. And he sets everybody straight.

A serene (naive) old-fashioned crime movie with well-acted characters and perfect action. Berg and WahlBerg quickly put together this Boston-style Jack Reacher for Netflix and with great verve. Although the shaky screenplay is a little disappointing, Spenser gives us a generous portion of good mood.

A mix of Edge of Tomorrow, Running Man and Takeshi’s Castle. The future where you pay rent for a wife and child is great. I have to get my daughter a music package, too.

A western pretending to be a dirty sci-fi flick set on a mining base on Io. In his role as a stubborn cop investigating strange cases of suicide that the evil corporation seems to have a hand in, Connery delivers one clever line after another. But the best is Frances Sternhagen as a cynical doctor with an inclination toward alcoholism. The laughable “action" climax shows just how much the genre has changed over the years.

A 90s routine picture with an appallingly awful storyline about relationships, with people who tend to explode amusingly. It doesn’t have a shred of logic, because what woman in her right mind would want to leave Brosnan for somebody with a face like that - senator or not. The explosive water idea is great: they should do a remake.

I read it, so I know. The creators played around a bit with the overall atmosphere, giving a True Detective feel to it. And King has no problem with the mysterious and he can easily go overboard with bugaboos. The cast is excellent so far, in particular the ambiguous Bateman.
