I'm going to say it, and I'm surprised myself. Even though I'm an old boomer who grew up on the first Planet of the Apes from the late 60s, and even though I'm not a fan of the CGI serendipity of today, the direction that Rupert Wyatt took 13 years ago, Matt Reeves continued, and now Wes Ball has followed up on, is…

A mediocre poliziotteschi from the year when the popularity of this once super popular subgenre in Italian cinemas of the 70's started to slowly fade away and so did the yappy career of the charismatic Luc Merenda, who looked good on camera, but in all his films acted exactly the same, with a limited acting register.…

Not as good as the first two films, but considering how barren comedy is these days, it's more than decent entertainment that won't offend fans. Moving Ted to a school is a fine idea, once again he's getting stoned, is foul-mouthed to everyone and dispenses wisecracks, and it's again properly incorrect in terms of…

A family friendly adventure that surprisingly isn't as annoying as I suspected before watching it. Kumail Nanjiani gives a comedic undertone to the film and I found the whole freezing apocalypse thing fine, in fact even the orb villain looked very nice, kind of a mummy mix. Kids will like it a lot and parents at least…

I caught up with this rather praised crime drama-thriller that surprised me with its shocking and unpredictable conclusion. It's an intimate film with a couple of characters, where a daughter commits a nasty crime and the parents try to cover it up from the police. The hopeless and heavy atmosphere is woven throughout…

I found the second Thor to be overall more lighthearted and funny, which was probably due to a different director, but each episode had its own charm. This sequel was full of brisk action, funny lines, and there was even a touching scene. Malekith was a really convincing villain, while Loki was somewhat of a comedic…

I saw a trailer for this comedy with a very funny title in a German cinema, and since it seemed at first glance to be something better and more meaningful than Girls on Top, I decided to watch it. And I was quite satisfied with the result. The jokes are really funny, not gross, I like Karoline Herfurth and Katja…

A funny and snappy comedy with a really likeable cast that doesn't did not avoid the classic clichés, but I had a good time, which is essential for a comedy, so the genre requirements were met. The funniest scenes were the one in the tent and then with the Mexican policeman. In short, a predictable but very…

I love Michel Gondry's films, and The Foam of the Days bears several of his distinctive hallmarks as a director. At first it is a playful and funny fantasy comedy, but halfway through it picks up momentum and turns into a sad love drama that slowly comes to its inevitable end. I liked the work with models, props and…

An interestingly conceived short that complements the excellently shot Gravity. Contrast an Eskimo man and his family at peace on Earth, while Sandra Bullock is on the edge of life and death in the infinite cosmos. However, it failed to impress me any more, I took it seriously more as a sort of add-on to an already…
