3DD!3

Pluto's little son a big troublemaker. At its core, it's a children's romp, and my daughter liked both the caterpillar and the rescue by the heroic dad. I'm sure there are better shorts, but I have a particular soft spot for this one.

I've long thought I had to check out at least one episode since it had such massive promotion in "Death Stranding" and finally I did. The Keanu Reeves episode had an incredibly cool style. Driving around Utah and learning about the local culture and natural beauty is a classic in these shows. I suppose they all will be.

Kenneth Branagh has conceived the third installment of his Poirot series in a completely different way than the first two, with a horror, schizophrenic atmosphere that flirts with the mystery genre and leaves the hero initially floundering and unsure. Haris Zambarloukos's camera alternates between unconventional angles of waterlogged rooms and views of a drizzly Venice in an amazing way, perfectly emphasizing that uncertainty. The sound design is amazing and really stands out in Dolby Atmos. The plot, for me, is unorthodox and the denouement is unexpected. This concept suited me very well and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Definitely weaker than the first series, but my daughter still enjoys it. The best part is probably the robot snowman episode, but the short format means there's no time to get bored. The Observer episode is quite interesting, but paradoxically I wish it was more elaborate and not a short.

The animation style is downright hideous, I don't know how Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg could approve something so awfully drawn. Except for the turtles, everything is horrifying to look at. With the other mutants, it's sort of expected, but the normal humans are perhaps even uglier than the mutants. The visuals themselves are good, especially during the action scenes, which are dynamic, vivid, and a joy to watch. The turtles are really teenagers and their wisecracks makes sense for their age. The story with its multicultural overlay is annoying, as there is perhaps nothing but that theme in animation today, but it is wrapped up in awesome action sequences and goofy banter that must have been a challenge to translate. I don't know whether to look forward to the next episode, but I know one thing for sure, I can't let my daughter watch these turtles because she'll be scared of all those monsters = people. P.S.: Trent Reznor's music is awesome

A Korean spy thriller based on real events of the 1980s. A complicated relationship between two national intelligence unit commanders, the search for a North Korean spy within their own ranks and of course some personal skeletons in the closet of all the important characters. Jung-jae Lee delivers a terrific performance as writer, director and lead. The action scenes are good, as are the interrogations and competitive rivalries. It could have done with better drama and the middle drags a bit, but it's still a great romp with a gritty final inferno and a gut-wrenching ending. Great cinematography and great urgent music.

A watchable road thriller with some very nice scenes and a great Cage, whose crazy theatrics cleverly mask a fairly routine script. Adler can produce nice visuals, but he doesn't work miracles either. Kinnaman plays his part, but the roles of beleaguered dads don't give him much chance to stand out. Better average with great music.

The beautiful visual style and overall sophistication of the City of Elements makes every shot a unique experience. Combined with Thomas Newman's unfailingly beautiful score, it is about the most beautiful experience to whizz through the cinema. The story is a little weaker, as it doesn't bring anything particularly new although it does a great job of making the romance work. Things sparkle between Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple despite the bare-bones dating line. The action is dynamic, makes clever use of the setting, and the humour mostly works. I was bombarded for most of the film with my daughter's nosy questions, like where is daddy, including what it means to die, so I'll probably watch it alone again.

I don't understand the ratings here. Of course it's not the easy-going Mickey of old, but that's the best part. A video game addict who forgets his anniversary with Minnie and promises a trip to Hawaii he doesn't have the funds for is a very rough start and unusually educational. He's also duly punished for everything. A gritty action slapstick with excellent modern animation. Why didn't Disney stick to this direction?

Ryan Gosling steals a watch… A funny meta-advert with an awesome watch and a cherry Porsche. It fulfilled its goal, I want it!
