Undisguisedly Hitchcockian. The script is very stupid, but what Brian De Palma spoils as a screenwriter, he makes up for mightily as a director. Plus, he's not afraid to use the skills of Ralf D. Bode and Pino Donaggio. More than one scene could have gone straight into the textbooks as an example of "how to slowly…

This hammy romp about a deaf and dumb killer who has to overthrow a totalitarian regime spares no expense with absurd scenes, black humour and incredible action that combines the best of The Raid with childish imagination and naivety. The self-parody sequences where the protagonist tells the story in a video game…

The panoramas of a big city, like Blade Runner from Wish, and the same comparison can be used when looking at the robots, which are very reminiscent of those from Avatar, but in the end everyone will still see through the fact that this is nothing but a quick consumer product from Netflix product, which is…

A special reality show from Mattel. Ashley Graham hosts pairs who carry out reconstructions of various parts of a real house in Barbie style from different decades from the 60s to the 90s. Then, outdoor seating areas in retro or contemporary styles are featured. The finale focuses on the dressing room and workspace.…

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…

Celebrity is one of Woody Allen's weaker films for me, which is a real shame because the cast alone made me think it was going to be an acting tour de force. Unfortunately, it didn't happen in any significant way. Kenneth Branagh is a good actor, and here his character reminded me a bit of Marcello Mastroianni in La…

This time, this crazy duo of comedians decides to go to Hollywood to put things “right” and on the way, they both manage to make quite a mess. On the whole, I liked Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back a little less than the very similar Dogma. I was intrigued by all the movie references and little cameos (e.g. Wes Craven…

Paranoid Park is especially opaque and confusing in places, and sometimes it took me a while to get my bearings (if I could at all). The premise is interesting and engaging and tells an uneasy story in the life of one teenager, which is hardly the first or last we’ve seen. Some of the scenes were really nicely done…

One of those films in which the visuals (and especially the effects) trump everything else, leaving only a series of pretty pictures that lack any deeper meaning. The plot was simple (and totally clichéd), but unlike the script, it didn't annoy that much. And I definitely enjoyed this "rookie" a lot more than either…

Even if the viewers here despise the annoying and old Jessica Fletcher, I quite liked this unpretentious and relaxing detective story. The plot was good because I didn't suspect the right culprit for a moment before the reveal. In short, a movie with a famous writer in a movie format that's good for filling up one's…
