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…

The 61st Disney feature film is a modern blend of classic adventure stories from the Earth's core. The family dynamics are reminiscent of Indiana Jones, but one can practically recall anything from Verne's works to Narnia or Pellucidar. In the context of Disney films, the theme continues from Atlantis: The Lost Empire…

Extremadamente delicada, tranquila y lenta, es una película con un alma pura y melancólica. Comienza como un retrato de la Mumbai abarrotada y lluviosa, con una visión de la vida de dos amigas en ella, y luego se traslada a un lugar más tranquilo. El debut en ficción de una documentalista experimentada recuerda con…

A very well made film, the success of which rests mainly on the excellent performances of the actors (especially Jeanne Moreau) and the engaging theme of the love triangle. Is it even possible to love two men at the same time? And can two best friends love one woman? Although I found the film less appealing in places,…

This historical film is engaging mainly thanks to the technical workmanship: the breathtaking cinematography, the nice production design and the special effects. But I found the storyline and the script rather boring and raw at times, just uninteresting. And I was a bit disappointed when the final battle was so…

The transition from the silent to the sound era was a major turning point in the world of cinema, and for many actors and directors who didn't want to adapt (or couldn't), it meant the end of a stellar career. This film nicely shows the tense situation of the late 1930s and very credibly and elegantly portrays the…

A prime example of a noir film that I still liked more than six decades after it was made. Gloomy atmosphere, a criminal plot, an unexpected twist, a lot of very well and effectively used shadows – The Third Man has all this and more to offer, and it won me over mainly because of its technical workmanship. In short, a…

Brendan and the Secret of the Kells won me over especially with its unconventional and imaginative approach, which dominated the whole film alongside a simple story and a catchy musical score. I liked the variety of visual elements, which certainly did not lack originality. The song by Aisling was absolutely charming.…
