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…

An extraordinarily gentle, quiet and slow film with a pure melancholic soul. It starts out as a profile of overpopulated, rain-soaked Mumbai with a look into the lives of two friends living there and later shifts to a calmer, quieter place. As the debut fictional film of an experienced documentary filmmaker, All We…

That was really something! I watched the original Pokémon regularly (and who didn't at my age), so I watched this short out of curiosity. I don't know what to say. On the one hand, it's a good idea to bring an old phenomenon back to life. But on the other hand, there are absolutely terrible "actors", blatantly botched…

I love Marilyn Monroe as a symbol of Hollywood, so I couldn't under any circumstances miss a film that explores a very interesting phase of her tumultuous life. The acting was amazing and convincing, especially Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh. The 1950s styling was very believable, as was the production design.…

A very well made film, the success of which rests mainly on the excellent performances of the actors (especially Jeanne Moreau) and the engaging theme of the love triangle. Is it even possible to love two men at the same time? And can two best friends love one woman? Although I found the film less appealing in places,…

This historical film is engaging mainly thanks to the technical workmanship: the breathtaking cinematography, the nice production design and the special effects. But I found the storyline and the script rather boring and raw at times, just uninteresting. And I was a bit disappointed when the final battle was so…

The transition from the silent to the sound era was a major turning point in the world of cinema, and for many actors and directors who didn't want to adapt (or couldn't), it meant the end of a stellar career. This film nicely shows the tense situation of the late 1930s and very credibly and elegantly portrays the…
