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…

An extraordinarily gentle, quiet and slow film with a pure melancholic soul. It starts out as a profile of overpopulated, rain-soaked Mumbai with a look into the lives of two friends living there and later shifts to a calmer, quieter place. As the debut fictional film of an experienced documentary filmmaker, All We…

The Ukrainian-born enfant terrible Eugene Deslaw, who collaborated with Czech avant-gardists (especially Zet Molas), added a funny commentary to Gaumont’s old slapstick, resulting in greater absurdity than even Monty Python could have come up with when they were at the top of their game.

The feline adventurer in high boots got an opportunity to enhance his portfolio with his own feature-length film. Given his performance, there is a good chance that he will get more offers. These ninety minutes don’t abound with plot, the narrative would need bolder villains and more clearly defined objectives (the…

It would be a shame if the assessment of this documentary got stuck on doubts about Ruppert’s mental health. Sure, maybe he’s a headcase, but how else could he know so much information about so many subjects? He comes across as a person adept at politics, economics, agriculture, mass media and spiritual matters …

A path into the depths of an alcoholic’s soul. A dark drama that takes place mostly at night and in intimately lighted rooms, Today for the Last Time is at its most powerful when, in long shots, it leaves the alcoholics to deal with the inner struggle that they have already lost. The sense of ruin, intensified by the…

The film version of a tabloid that plays at serious journalism. Exploitation attractions (anal sex!, tears!, blood!), a visual aspect made interesting at any cost and characters that can be described with a single word (with an exclamation point) turn an intimate court/prison drama into something resembling an ancient…
