8/10. If someone had told me five years ago that I’d go to the cinema to see a film about the election of a new Pope rather than a comic-book movie, I would have laughed at them, but, world wonder, it's true. Conclave is an unexpectedly gripping, atmospheric and compelling film set in the Vatican where isolated…

7/10. A decent and realistic teacher psycho drama from Germany. The protagonist is a new teacher who has just started at a new school, but soon starts stealing and becomes a target. She had a hidden camera, she knows who the culprit is! A prime example of a man wanting to get justice and solve a fairly straightforward…

A charming Egyptologist on the trail of ancient secrets and dangerous mysteries. A synopsis where you can only trust the conjunction, and Franklin J. Schaffner didn’t direct the film; he embalmed it, and not even the romantic subplot with Ahmed Dracula can save it (as one critic aptly noted, Langella had the charm of…

The psychological horror soon turns surreal, with the imprisoned psychopath murdering through others. He uses dreams and hypnosis to do this. Danny may be a good guy, but he's a moron, so when he spots Laura, the Sleeping Beauty, in the hospital and hears that she's about to become an experimental subject, he decides…

There's a monster killing in the city, and the first massacres convinced me that a xenomorph had jumped in. Too bad they showed its form afterwards. It had a leaky tongue instead of a second set of jaws, but otherwise the inspiration, including the slime, was clear, and I quite like it. Also, there's one nice…

If I didn't know better, I would imagine a Grisham adaptation by Schumacher to look exactly like this. The courtroom scenes flow smoothly, it descends into thriller waters, and the belief in happy endings for new beginnings reflects the spirit of the times. Of course, the casting takes center stage.  Tommy Lee Jones…

Mr. Glass would say that when people trip over a torque wrench in a bomber during the first mission, fall out of the open bomb bay, and impale themselves on a curious swordfish, Louis Zamperini must be involved. Heroism can be inspiring, but from the moment a sadistic Japanese woman targets Unbroken, everything just…

"If that's a confession then my ass is a banjo!" Professor Connery, with a backside reminiscent of a string instrument, stirs old wounds to uncover the truth. Up to this point, everything pleasantly rolls along the crime tracks through the landscape of Southern comfort, the psychopathic "Hannibal" Harris outdoing…

Adam Arkapaw occasionally conjures a breathtaking shot (the night shot with the trebuchet), and Edgerton enjoys a well-written mentor role suited to his stocky frame; however, with that, the praises for David Michôd naive film come to an end. The toxicity of the male world, the burden of ruling between the millstones…

What’s happening in the grass? Practically nothing. After twenty minutes, I was wondering what they would do for the next eighty, as the theme seemed exhausted. Somewhere around the fiftieth minute, I started wishing that the good local farmer would arrive and take care of the whispering meadow with his scythe. After…
