Due to the imaginative nature of the whole concept (Japanese folk horror meets Dexter meets Black Mirror), it repeatedly cycles through (necessary) passages where one character explains at length to the other (read the viewer) "who, what, why, how". It doesn't have a breakneck pace, and it feels a touch longer than…

“Titanfall”, but without the balls. Literally. Weak visual effects, a leaky script and an unlikeable protagonist. It's not just that Jennifer Lopez's acting is bad, she's playing an unlikeable cow that Agent Smith should slap around. Weird dialogue, bland action, and the only thing that can be praised is the…

What else to expect from Vojtěch Jasný, a man with a big heart, than a pure poetic film. The first thing that catches the eye after a few seconds is the rousing music by Svatopluk Havelka, which runs through the whole film. All four short stories are simple in plot, it's the atmosphere and visual experience that's…

A more melancholic and weepy version of Me Before You in the lower middle class. Javier Bardem is excellent, there are some great ideas and some interesting dialogue, but it's primarily the strength of the premise and its existential overtones than how it's executed. The love triangle was like something cut out of a…

A more thoughtful, tense and overall more minimalist version of Civil War with a gradually escalating atmosphere in the style of Take Shelter. Technically outstanding. Great cinematography and editing. Superb acting, a shame some elements were left unexplained and perhaps the conclusion was too rushed given the…

Kenneth Branagh is simply very good at reinterpreting Shakespeare's immortal classics for the screen, and Much Ado About Nothing is a fresh, witty and dynamic adaptation of the four-hundred-year-old stage comedy. The biggest attraction was, of course, the quarreling lovers, played by two excellent English actors,…

Trick is well above average for romantic comedies about the "four percent" and manages to impress with its straightforward and quite simple story, which has a predictable ending, but I was still satisfied. The actors are pretty average throughout the film and perhaps the only one who stands out is Tori Spelling, who…

An unconventionally conceived film production of Shakespeare's classic, set against the backdrop of a high school musical, with a young man struggling to find happiness despite his sexual orientation at the forefront. Above all, the viewer needs to realise that the original version of “A Midsummer Night's Dream” is…

After The Shining and Barry Lyndon, I had the opportunity (or rather the obligation) to watch Paths of Glory, which is also another example of a quality film by Stanley Kubrick. But since I am not a fan of war-themed movies, I kept my distance from the film. There were probably two sequences that impressed me the most…
