Undisguisedly Hitchcockian. The script is very stupid, but what Brian De Palma spoils as a screenwriter, he makes up for mightily as a director. Plus, he's not afraid to use the skills of Ralf D. Bode and Pino Donaggio. More than one scene could have gone straight into the textbooks as an example of "how to slowly…

This hammy romp about a deaf and dumb killer who has to overthrow a totalitarian regime spares no expense with absurd scenes, black humour and incredible action that combines the best of The Raid with childish imagination and naivety. The self-parody sequences where the protagonist tells the story in a video game…

The panoramas of a big city, like Blade Runner from Wish, and the same comparison can be used when looking at the robots, which are very reminiscent of those from Avatar, but in the end everyone will still see through the fact that this is nothing but a quick consumer product from Netflix product, which is…

A special reality show from Mattel. Ashley Graham hosts pairs who carry out reconstructions of various parts of a real house in Barbie style from different decades from the 60s to the 90s. Then, outdoor seating areas in retro or contemporary styles are featured. The finale focuses on the dressing room and workspace.…

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…

Police Academy launched a ten-year series from a police setting and introduced us to some quirky characters. It's not a particularly well-written comedy, but it's still fun to watch, even if some of the jokes don't amuse as much as they did on first viewing. The cunning fox Mahoney, the dangerously quiet Hooks, the…

The Broken Hearts Club is an enjoyable and slightly bitter comedy in which the main theme is friendship, which can be stronger and more rewarding than many partnerships. Of the cast, I was most impressed with John Mahoney, who handled his role to perfection. In short, a film that may not necessarily appeal to everyone…

Police Academy 2 renewed both the cast and the setting, which had its pros and cons. Unfortunately, Mauser didn't have the same villainous charisma as Harris, but on the other hand, I enjoyed and was amused by the presence of Zed and Mr. Sweetchuck, who were the main source of entertainment. The sequel, while failing…

This wild road-movie with all colours and shades, featuring an unconventional trio that embarks on a journey through the Australian outback really amused and intrigued me in many ways. All three actors are wonderful in their roles, the inhospitable environment (visually and socially) of Australia is nicely portrayed,…

Many of the things I wrote about the the third film could be repeated for the fourth. It's a good film in terms of audiovisual quality, no doubt about it – the old familiar (and catchy) music, the nicely done effects, etc. – but story-wise it's the same cliché, just in a different guise. My "favourite" duo of Keira…
