Black Mirror - San Junipero (2016) (jakso) 

englanti Excellently done retro-atmosphere combined with a first prototype Matrix (the Paradise Matrix that Agent Smith kept enthusing about). The lesbian storyline kind of spices up this classic romantic movie with a happy ending par excellence. And this season is just what this series needed after all those depressing horrors.

Trabantem až na konec světa (2014) 

englanti In these travelogues, incompetency provides the drama while the chosen route allows you to wonder over the (un)worldly beauty all around. The added value here are the Trabant "cars" and Little Mole, who makes a guest appearance. But seriously, a laid-back and well made road trip. The beautiful exteriors dominated by the salt plain and Machu Picchu, the mature domestic lines and well, of course, the thirst for adventure. Beautiful work.

Angry Birds Blues (2017) (sarja) 

englanti Watching it with my daughter makes me nostalgic. It has the same kind of gags I loved in The Roadrunner. A pinch of violence for a new generation.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) 

englanti An uncompromising, sprawling comic book colossus. This time, Snyder arranged for the white collars to fail big time. The movie isn’t perfect, a little creaky here and there (Ezra Miller is awful in the role of Flash), but as a whole it works great. The dark tone is consistent with the two preceding pictures: a somber atmosphere, good character motivation and the action scenes are superb. Mainly, the baddies are not there just for a decoration, but there are motives for their behavior. Theatrical soliloquies, heroic entrances, a thunderous soundtrack. I’m happy. Maybe HBO will pay for the sequel too.

Black Mirror - Playtest (2016) (jakso) 

englanti The twist wasn't the fear of spiders or Alzheimer's, nor was it the terror of being reunited with mother. The twist is that you're supposed to turn your phone off when they fucking ask you to!

Marvel Studios: Assembled - The Making of WandaVision (2021) (jakso) 

englanti Wholesome details and backstage information about one of the most interesting series recently. They could easily dwell a little bit longer over some of the technical passages, but probably they didn’t want to disturb the dynamics. Hopefully there will be more stuff on the Blue-Ray version. Ha. Haha. Haha.

Oikeuden metsästäjät (2020) 

englanti Cause and effect. A bloody drama about revenge flips over into a bizarre comedy in the inimitable style of Anders Thomas Jensen. Mads Mikkelsen excels again in a role of a taciturn soldier coming back from the war to bury his wife and find the way of connecting with his daughter. The investigation of the train catastrophe which moves the movie towards the quest for revenge is in the hands of three strange IT divas. Nerds reeling off hilarious lines create a strange antithesis to the silent Mads, an aspect that the screenplay exploits rather unexpectedly. The excellent action scenes are among the best I have seen in this genre and the surprisingly pleasant ending makes sure that Riders of Justice is a classic Christmas movie.

Samuraiden aika: Taistelu Japanista (2021) (sarja) 

englanti A great introduction to the subject. This Netflix documentary concentrates on things that are attractive for the viewer, never going particularly deep. This said, in places it stutters and leaves the plot to flow, ignoring wider contexts. The introduction with Nobunaga, rising to become the Demon King was unequivocally the best part and then there are so many clans to make a six-season series about. The beautiful shots of Fuji and well-filmed historical reconstructions are superb. There could have been much less of the black and white talking heads.

Black Mirror - Nosedive (2016) (jakso) 

englanti A hammer hitting the nail on the head. A glimpse into a future that is very close to reality. I loved the language they chose for the old car and the final threat to Mr. Rags looks like fallen out of Con Air.

The Little Things (2021) 

englanti An average detective story that changes direction quite dramatically after the appearance/disappearance of Jared. The weird system fraudster he plays, whose face beams constantly, even face to face with a cop who is stressed out and short of sleep, is the main plus of the movie. I appreciate the idea approaching things from a different side, but it could easily be shorter and more work should be done on the introduction and character motivation. This way they sometimes look like idiots who do things without any good reason.
