I ignored this one for a long time, but after watching it I'm almost tempted to go up to 5 stars. I don't think anyone will forget this family that has lived in the woods for 10 years. The parenting style was very unconventional and I think it could have easily been functional. Viggo Mortensen was absolutely amazing and his intellectual dialogues took my breath away at times, every dialogue is a powerful and thought-provoking thing. The kids were Oscar-worthy and the knowledge that 8 year old girl has of politics and law made my chin drop. Very good in places and perversely funny. 85%.

Definitely one of the best films from the world of gastronomy. Bradley Cooper as the arrogant chef was excellent, although I wouldn't want a chef like that even if they paid in gold. The upscale Parisian restaurant was breathtaking, you could eat there from the ground. Literally a gourmet experience. I enjoyed it. 80%.

A pretty funny parody of terrorism in the style of Borat. The idea is novel and certain jokes are definitely worth it. The main duo were good and the attractive lady accompanying them was very snappy. Good fun. 65%

A pretty gritty, raw and unpleasant crime drama full of drugs, prostitutes and Albanian gorillas you do not want to have anything to do with. This film is not exactly my cup of tea and at two hours running time I got bored a few times, but once it came to slicing the bread there was plenty to watch. Brutal as fuck in places for which thumbs up for the filmmakers' courage. 65%.

A very enjoyable comedy about two mature sisters who throw a party like they did when they were young and invite all their former school friends. The party lasts almost an hour and it's the biggest party since Project X, no drugs or alcohol are wasted here, too bad the sex wasn't so sweet. The biggest surprise is John Cena in the form of a drug dealer who had in his briefcase just about every substance ever made by any chemist. I laughed and had a great time. 75%

Quite bullshit, this is. Quite star-studded, but the potential was buried somewhere in the Cayman Islands. xXx is pretty much over the top with its action, even for me, and it’s not that well filmed. The cinematography is very abrupt and the editing spoils more or less all the action scenes. Tony Jaa is perhaps in his most unlikeable role ever and Donnie Yen was okay with the final action where he had a bit of a chance to show off. Vin Diesel didn't really entertain me (the guy can only act in FF, he sucks everywhere else) and that left my favourite Ruby Rose, who is as perversely attractive here as she was in John Wick 2. A small plus for the music and cameos by more familiar faces, otherwise weak. 50%

The film reminds me more of The Big Short than The Wolf of Wall Street. It wasn't a bad film, Matthew McConaughey's performance is excellent and the overall idea is definitely intriguing, towards the end there is the expected stuffiness and trouble and only then does the film start to get interesting. For one viewing ok. 60%.

An enjoyable teen comedy similar to American Pie. I expect from these movies only a portion of fun and a triple combo (party, drugs, sex) and I think Good Kids delivers in this respect. A story about four nerds who are graduating high school and want to experience their first and last high school party with some of that "relief". The main character has a decent run after the first notch and I was quite envious of his role as a tennis coach, not many people are really that lucky. Good choice for those who want to switch off and and nostalgically reminisce about the old days. 75%

A fairly enjoyable film starring a great Sam Neill and an interesting obese brat who performed more than convincingly. A big upside is the New Zealand scenery, which is literally a treat for the eye, and I also praise the perfect scene with the huge wild pig. There is less humour, but it's nice to watch, still I don't feel like 4*.

Average American comedy with Jason Biggs and three hookers at a wild party. It's quite nice to watch, you get a few laughs, the movie goes by quickly and the girls are smart. But that's it. For one viewing ok. 60%.
