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…

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…

This is how I imagine a film that is so timeless and compelling in its premise that it can continue to captivate audiences even decades after it was made. Sunset Blvd. is an acting tour-de-force by Gloria Swanson, who took my breath away with her performance, demonstrating to a tee the acting techniques of the silent…

An incredibly long film, which undermined its reputation with me mainly because of its excessive running time, which could have been even a third shorter. In terms of production design and costumes, I liked it, but some of the scenes bored me and seemed silly and completely unnecessary. In short, for me personally, a…

Approaching the centenary of the sinking of the most famous ship of all time, as a true "titanicophile" I couldn't miss this British documentary, which tries to reconstruct the fateful night of 14-15 April 1912 using survivors' accounts. On the whole, I found it very believable and engaging, and even learned new facts…

I may be wronging this film with my rating, but I just didn't like it that much and to be honest I only laughed a few times. I will definitely try to watch it again in the future, as I only saw it in the original version and without subtitles the first time, and therefore couldn't enjoy the dialogue to the fullest.…

I was incredibly bored with Life of Brian, so I wasn't expecting anything better from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and in fact I wasn't surprised at all because I got exactly what I expected. Monty Python humour just passes me by in a big way and I will certainly never count myself among their fans. If there was…
