Two miles underground, nine miners fight for their lives after a methane explosion and with one hour of oxygen. A decently filmed claustrophobic survival movie that manages to be both suspenseful and unexpectedly gritty (the hand sawing is one of the most intense scenes in the film). I didn't form much of a relationship with the characters and it takes half an hour for the fight for life to begin, but after that it's definitely something to watch. The film is highly praised abroad (78%), and for an indie production it's great. 6/10.

A big step backwards compared to the previous part. Jake Kasdan ruined the film by a bad decision, when he changed the characters, which significantly reduced the humour (Bethany in Jack Black’s body was perfect and it was a sin to change that), and the tasks are also significantly less interesting than last time. Apart from the ostriches and monkeys, there wasn't much of anything proper. The finale is quite nicely action-packed, but I suffered quite a bit in the cinema and was looking forward to going home. Three stars by grace, but only by a whisker. 5/10.

A sweet Christmas romance with the adorable Emilia Clarke and the likeable Henry Golding with well working chemistry between them. Too bad Paul Feig didn't lean more on the humour, but it's still fun to watch and the Christmas spirit oozes joy. What pulls the film to a slightly above-par level is the unexpected final twist, which is both very original and welcome in the rom-com genre. 6/10.

After The Witch, Robert Eggers directs another period and psychologically challenging piece, this time in black and white and square format, making it feel like it was made in 1910. that initially repulsed me, but eventually I found myself immersed in the plot and enjoying the nightmare driven to madness. Both Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson give great performances, the dialogue is impressive, the atmosphere thickens and there are a few disturbing scenes (a seagull being bludgeoned to death, a live burial, masturbation over a mermaid and the final scene is very raw). Here I can understand 10 stars and 0, so it depends on you, but I was not bored. 7/10.

I watched it more out of obligation, but otherwise it's a pointless sequel with nothing to impress. The humour is missing, “Let it Go” is not replaced and the only thing that is good are the visuals, but that is par for the course. Fine for kids, nothing for adults. 5/10.

An excellent chilling drama from Russia with a cramped atmosphere. The story revolves around a heating repairman who, while inspecting an apartment, discovers that the apartment block is on the verge of collapse. There is not much time left and he decides to take action and confront local political corruption. An uncomfortable, almost Chernobyl-like atmosphere about an honest man who wants to save 800 lives, but since the prefab is full of social scum, the government is full of communists, and money is king, it won't be easy. A thunderous finale. 8/10.

This is great! The president ordered the shooting of civilians during a demonstration and about a thousand die. 26 years later, a few children of their children decide to take revenge and plan an assassination attempt on the president, but things don't go as planned. The final 30 minute sequence is suspenseful as hell and it's exactly the South Korea I love. Great visuals, decent action, a well chosen revenge team. It was fun. 8/10.

Very nice surprise!! Simple and straightforward, but authentic, uncomfortable, harsh and at the same time very entertaining. The film is more or less about police corruption and drug dealers going after one honest rookie, Naomie Harris, who is alone against everyone. Frank Grillo as the bad guy is awesome, the shootouts are raw and the squalor of New Orleans is captured believably. A movie full of bad guys. 7.5/10.

Taika Waititi has made his best film and his style is very close to Tarantino's. A very original war satire with a strong story, tasteful humour, engaging dialogue, great performances (Scarlett Johansson deserves an Oscar, but I also like Sam Rockwell, Taika Waititi as Hitler and the small and clever Roman Griffin Davis). The biggest highlights are the training of the young Nazis, the visit to the Gestapo and the finale. The film manages to surprise several times, keeps a decent pace and the humour is occasionally replaced by a cold shower. 8/10.

The acting is first class, led by the perfect Joel Kinnaman and the delightful Ana de Armas, but Clive Owen, Common and Rosamund Pike are also good. It's a shame that the story brings nothing new to the table and the prison is only there for 30 minutes at most, but I still had a decent time. 6.5/10.
