3DD!3

A formally precise and linguistically exquisite picture about the writing of the screenplay for Citizen Kane. Unfortunately, apart from context of that period, it offers nothing new. Filming according to his father’s screenplay, Fincher nurtured all aspects of this heart-felt project and the way he presents the topic in the style of a forties movie is very appropriate. You can’t tell the difference. The actors are great down to the last one. The music is perfect: Reznor and Russ are brutally moderate, obediently serving the story. But it was strange to listen to Trent’s typical piano playing in a movie that clearly must have been filmed eighty years ago...

It's hard to believe this is real and not some bizarre reality show. A redneck zoo where animals and people are killed and murders are planned shows the true face of the American dream.

A many-layered piece of movie history about a man who had everything and nothing. Welles is absolutely perfect as the charismatic Kane and with his sure director’s hand he leads the picture through various genres from fictitious documentary to the crime movie ending.

The name suits him... An episode stuffed full of chopped up people and other things with a laser sword. A dirty, gloomy planet and a western-style duel at the end? I love this stuff. Although some of the decisions and twists seem rather bizarre, but when you see Grogu with the silver ball, or sleeping in a hammock, you forget all about that.

In the end this is classic people movie with a heart, but that was a shitload of crap he had to go through (based on a true story). Worth seeing. Amy Adams makes the most of her role as stoned mom and she steals the most memorable scenes of the movie. And Glen Close as gramma (who sets light to drunken gramps) steals all the rest of them. In Hillbilly Elegy, Ron Howard deals tried and tested cards with the confidence of a hard-bitten cardsharp and skillfully recounts this story about a white trash hero. Oscar nominations are in the bag. The soundtrack is also great, once again from the excellently minimalistic Zimmer.

Carnahan’s early Xmas gift to connoisseurs. Even though this is rather a cheap, nostalgically bloody production with just average special effects and an uncomplicated, nineties story, it has so many nods and so much self-parody that it’s easy to forgive. The time loop is the catalyst, but Boss Level is more about love of action, old video games and family. Frank Grillo is great as both ultimate killer and caring father. He reels off great one-liners, one after another, so you can’t help but root for him. Gibson enjoys himself greatly in the role of colonel with a savior complex who likes listening to himself speak. Naomi Watts manages to chisel out the most complex of characters in just two scenes. Great fun, but I’m very sad that I won’t be able to see it in the movie theater, thanks to Covid. There's something I don't like about him. He has that... trait. ... The overachiever who makes up for a lack of talent with hustle.

Shame that this is that cheap type of animation where they make little pictures move. Visually uninspiring. An adaptation of one of my favorite King stories; and Kiefer’s enchanting voice does a lot too. But this story about a man who eats himself works much better in text form. And this certainly applies to Hill’s Twittering visit to the Circus of the Dead which in its visual form was terribly predictable. Cartoon gore isn’t scary... Basically, this is for people too lazy to read... and for fans of Kiefer, King Sr. and King Jr.

Another finely tuned wow from Clint. This smooth-gliding story is further augmented by the acting performances. Powerhouse Sam Rockwell props up Houser in every scene they have together, making the times when Richard gets pissed even more impressive. Olivia Wilde, representing the media, could very easily have fallen into clichés, but in the end she actually rocks, and Hamm as an amoral FBI asshole is the embodiment of everything that you hate about the powers that be. In the end, this turns into an average guy vs. the government and the media battle, but it’s shot with such grace that I am giving it the fifth star. Movies where neither the government nor the media are right are always satisfying to watch. Especially these days.

I remember the comic book differently. Hush isn’t a bad story. But it has nothing to say. The romantic plot line with Selina works from start to finish, but the presence of tons of villains that appeared in the original just so that the divine Jina Lee could show off her super powers is more than a little annoying.

A lively sci-fi movie with abundant gory moments. Unexpected… until I realized that it was filmed by that sadist Wirkola. The overall concept of the world and this time around the baddies have good intentions. The surprising outcomes and twists work excellently. It's just a shame that the nearer the film gets to the end, the less logical it becomes. Still a great result with such a small budget.
