3DD!3

The cooking madness continues. This time, however, they need to build some of the good stuff to make things work, so we get a dream restaurant and Clairebear. Jeremy Allen White is going all out and about halfway through the Christmas episode, he gets such a cast of sidekicks that it will make all the hairs in your body stand up. Surprisingly, though, this isn't the best episode, the one right after it wraps up the most fucked up character's story arc, which Ebon Moss-Bachrach handles it with aplomb. The ending in the freezer is disarming though, it takes all the joy and leaves it on ice. I can't wait for the next season.

Michael Mann chose to film a period in Enzo's life that would have made most people into quivering, weeping wrecks in bed. He starts by outlining a relationship situation, a value scale, and lets someone die. Masterful exposition with an absolutely spot-on Adam Driver and a terrifying Penélope Cruz. A story strong in detail. A harrowing family drama of a disaster-stricken factory worker, interspersed with an equally gripping racing inferno that, if you don't know what was going on in the Mille Miglia at the time, will chew you up with a minor detour into the life of an Italian family. Erik Messerschmidt pulls you right in between the roaring cars, Mann also keeps an eye on the sound so the engines roar and the sheet metal squeals like a cowpoke. Add to this Enzo's brilliant tactics – lying and twisting reality, tailor-made for each of the racers. The attention to detail shows the strength of Mann's filmmaking, and I hope we won't have to wait as long as we did for Ferrari for another such tidbit.

Great. Old-school attitude and Mads Mikkelsen's stubborn expression in a solid film with a great script that grabs you by the heart. Danish moors and beautiful shots of the rugged landscape. And, of course, there's one motherfucker you wish the worst for, wondering the whole time why the captain didn't put a bullet through his head right from the start. A great story with a strong conclusion and a worthwhile point.

A juicy cowboy film with a great unconventional script about justice, hanging and morality. Clint Eastwood is awesome and the opening lynching scene is very surprising. The final shootout is quite unusual as is the ending and the romance line isn't exactly conventional either. Just a very original take on the western. The presentation of a public hanging where beer and pretzels are sold is second to none. The music doesn't quite fit but it’s not completely useless.

I love Bachman's novella and maybe that's why I avoided the film, which has nothing much in common with the book except the basic concept. The direction is lousy, but the 2017 dystopian future atmosphere has its charms and I completely understand its cult status. Arnold is in great form. The witty wisecracks and off-color humor may trump the message and turn it into brutal entertainment, but who gives a damn. Now, however, it might be the time to adapt it properly, according to the book, and in a way that makes the audience shudder at the end.

In the second season, the creators were not afraid to go off the rails. There interesting digressions that at the end lead to a total mayhem where almost everyone shows up. I liked the continuity of the final episodes.

A beautiful Slovak fairy tale. Maybe even the best. Fantastic poetics, beautiful locations. Jakubisko skillfully mixes mystical and progressive motifs and adds a wisecracking hero who is afraid of nothing and kicks death's ass.

Well, I must be dreaming! I once got scolded for something I did or said in a dream... Interesting premise, skillful execution, albeit with a slightly underwhelming ending, and most importantly, Nicolas Cage's big comeback. Kristoffer Borgli does a great job with modern trends and the fickleness of human favour. I was expecting some sort of climax towards the end, a lingering denouement rather than a reconciliatory epilogue. A possible prequel to Nolan's Inception?

There’s one rather unexpected twist, other than that, it's a compilation of situations seen elsewhere, nonsensical statements and hacked scenes. I'll admit I considered looking up the Snyder cut, since Snyder didn't bother to edit this film and I probably would have done better. There's a lot of stuff I don't understand why it's even there... like the unnecessary flight on Klofan. WTF? Maybe the ridiculous persuasion of that disparate bunch with the ear-splitting dialogue and odd behavior of most of the characters goes away in the edits. Maybe. I'm sorry about the weaker ship and weapon design and the sloppiness of the visual effects, an edit won't fix that. Sofia Boutella tries her best, Ed Skrein enjoys his sturmbannführer and nobody has much to show for it apart from the traditionally fine Charlie Hunnam. Hopefully the second part will be all about the slow motion action. Zack Snyder should leave the screenwriting to someone more capable. P.S: The best character is actually Anthony Hopkins's Jimmy, but they don't really take him on a road trip.

An old-fashioned action flick that relies on an interesting, albeit B-movie script and a skilled director. Jean-François Richet knows his craft, and Gerard Butler and Mike Colter have no trouble watching his back. The jungle running and contact bloody fights are crowned by a final shootout with a wonderful sniping with Filipinos flying a good three metres over the top of a car. Awesome!
