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…

The story from an unreliable narrator, a double agent, full of deceit and uncertainty. Hoa Xuande is the discovery of the year, an utterly convincing performance from a chameleon you root for despite his moral failings. He's overshadowed only by the multi-role Robert Downey Jr. and he's a little different every time,…

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…

An interesting film that cleverly masks its low budget with black and white cinematography, but it's a pity that the director didn't have the balls to go off the rails like the director of Human Centipede II. Every time something that might have been pleasing to the eye was about to happen, the director just plain and…

Obviously more was expected from a horror film directed by Ridley Scott's son, but you have to start somewhere and I have little reason to grumble. On the plus side, the cast is very decent by B-movie standards. Young star Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch) shines the brightest, but the rest of the more familiar acting faces…

Oliver Stone is a very more experienced director, I like his U-Turn and Savages a lot, but after a four-year hiatus he returns with a mediocre film. At first I was more or less very satisfied, I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt a lot, but here I stopped enjoying it after an hour. As soon as the film started to deal with…

After a long time a solid disaster flick and this time from Russia. The first hour is rather introductory, but thanks to the very likeable actors and the theme of planes and pilots I was more or less always alert and interested, and once the volcano erupts there is no shortage of suspense until the end. Brilliantly…

Interesting film. Maybe a bit too convoluted and complicated for me in some places, I got lost at times and a few things seemed unnecessary, but otherwise an entertaining flick with good acting by Ben Affleck, decent action, clever dialogue and an engaging story. 75%.
