Gareth Edwards wanted to revive this dramatic concept back in 2014, but the mass success of his Godzilla seems to have been broken by Hollywood dictates. Godzilla -1.0 has it a lot easier in this regard, having been made for a few bucks and in a far more Godzilla-friendly environment than the US dream factory. And the…

The main thing you will take away from this film is that Vittorio Storaro (Coppola's Apocalypse Now) was a grandmaster of the camera, a GRANDMASTER! Without knowing in advance who was holding that wonderful optics machine, I immediately noticed the amazing visual compositions, of which there are many, along with the…

A likeable and fun action B-movie on the theme of virtual reality and the classic Battle Royale. A group of people are in the woods in a survival game, where a lot of obstacles await them (even one CGI monster). The action is decent, though drastically lacking the R-rating, but otherwise the choreography is…

Francis Galluppi, like Sébastien Vaníček, comes through with a superb debut, and both have earned themselves a new Evil Dead. Nice. Almost everything I love in movies is here. There's the attractive setting of rural Arizona, one remote rest-stop (reminiscent of popular hixploitation movies), and a group of random…

As I used to love reading about ancient Greek myths and legends at school and repeatedly went back to read them again for years after, I did not find anything in this show very surprising, especially at the beginning. In fact, the whole basic narrative is nothing new. How about the main male protagonist, was he in any…

I liked the last part of the (adored by snotty teenage girls and hated by almost everyone else) Twilight saga to the extent possible. Tons of sighs, countless stupid and blank stares, lots of WTF scenes ... just classic Twilight! The soundtrack was again nice, especially the music for the final character recap. The…

I've never had a strong interest in politics in any form and everything related to it, but I was very interested in Jay Roach's excursion into the heart of the most controversial presidential election in the US. First and foremost, the film has an absolutely superb cast, of which Kevin Spacey and especially the…

After watching What Maisie Knew, the only thing that immediately comes to mind is "Poor Maisie!" A little person in a crazy adult world where everyone is fighting. What if strangers can take better care of a child than her own parents? Well, that's a bit of a stretch. I was initially impressed with the cast -…

I love Alfred Hitchcock, his Psycho, the character of Norman Bates and Vera Farmiga, so I couldn't miss this series just like that, even though I am not exactly a big fan of Freddie Highmore, who (unfortunately for me?) plays the lead here. Unlike the original Psycho, the story is set in the present day, but that's…
