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…

Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patelliére are two French dudes working on the classics of Alexandre Dumas classics, and after The Three Musketeers, they excel again! Next time, then, “The Man with the Iron Mask”? The Count of Monte-Cristo is unknown for me, I'm not familiar with the book, so I'm glad I enjoyed…

An excellent sultry and unpleasant drama from the Balkans! The protagonist is Blaga, a 70 year old Bulgarian respected teacher whose husband has recently died. She unfortunately also loses all her life savings because she is the victim of a phone scam and pays cruelly because of her stupidity. No one will give her a…

Convoi neexceptionnel, whose hillbilly drivers would need at least four hands (one for the steering wheel, one for the radio to deliver macho lines, one for a goofy trucker horn like a flush chain, and the fourth to pass a shirt to their sculpted, semi-naked body from the cab). Peckinpah, on alcohol and coke, wanted…

Justice. Law. Emotion. The first is blind, the second closes the eyes of the first, and the third brings about blindness. Ophthalmological issues entering a judge's decision-making can be resolved by taking the first into your own hands, breaking the second, and freeing yourself from the third. Peter Hyams may not be…

Two different wedding rings, 26 weekends over 26 years, 1 home birth, 113 (but probably 114) sexual encounters, 1 marriage proposal, and 9,445 days they could have been together; however, respect, comfort, and inertia were against them. An accountant can express many things in numbers, but then there are values that…

Although it’s not Christmastime, the magical elder Bobby selflessly resolves the work and relationship issues of his inexperienced colleagues. It wouldn’t be surprising if, in the end, this Bagger Vance of e-commerce playgrounds mysteriously vanished in the evening breeze. I understand the intergenerational message,…

A generational statement without reasons, where the colophony of simple string hair meet the out-of-tune strings of life. Miroslav Krobot has us follow Lubomír Smékal through Olomouc and his lonely wanderings with his characteristic impenetrable humor ("My neighbor. Psychopath. I'm going to sleep.") and instead of…
