This French historical drama is worth a watch. The men settle their honour by duelling each other with swords or pistols, and the acting is dominated by fencing master Roschdy Zem, who plays a very likeable character. It's got attractive visuals, strong themes like honour, pride and feminism, interesting dueling rules…

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…

I like werewolves and vampires, which is why I'm still watching the Twilight saga, for the record. Bella sighs again in the traditional way, for this time she's already sure of her choice of future partner, so this one is a more bearable episode compared to two and three. Everything around it is so similar to the…

Vincent Wants to Sea is a very good film that perfectly mixes elements of comedy and drama, so even though the protagonists are really sick, it is treated in a humorous way, which is good. All three actors were convincing and great in their roles, I especially praise Florian David Fitz, whose Tourette's I trusted…

Caesar is dead, but his legacy lives on, albeit in a twisted form! Although I haven't seen War for the Planet of the Apes, I went to the cinema to see the latest entry in the post-apocalyptic ape saga, as it is a fresh reboot(?) of the franchise. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is another audiovisually captivating…

They just don't make them like that anymore. The 1980s had their unmistakable charm thanks to the collapse of the floodgates that had held back decadent creativity, which in turn brought a boom to the video market. In the seventies, it was still necessary for films to attract viewers to cinemas, so every effort was…

Though this short parody of Romero’s classic basically only has one idea, it is necessary to acknowledge its makers’ feel for comedic timing and imaginative shot composition, thanks to which the varying of a single joke over the course of eight minutes remains not only bearable, but even refreshingly absurd.
