Everything is pretty much the same, Alexandre Aja continues to waste his talent on contrived scripts. The absurd premise predictably evolves towards a single meaningful non-absurd denouement. This then arrives, relatively timely, so that for a while the film seems to build to a rather chilling ending on top of it. But…

Spoilers/History – The unexpected gift in the form of a director's cut raises the biggest question: are three and a half hours enough for a comprehensive look? Not even close. At least not for something with the gigantic scope that David Scarpa's screenplay was seeking. Ridley Scott thus faces the traditional drawback…

One of those great Hollywood films made before Pearl Harbor. The important aspect is the play by Lillian Hellman from 1939, which she herself adapted into a film script. The Oscar nominations and, above all, Bette Davis's performance are significant. The grand Southern drama deals with the transformation of a once…

In the context of electing a new pope, Conclave raises a number of burning issues, including those that involve the situation at the highest levels of the Catholic Church, such as power manipulation, conservatism vs. progressivism in the perception of multiculturalism, and gender inequality, as well as migration and…

The Flash has never managed to survive outside of crossovers, but fortunately, many special episodes have been produced over the years. Thus, a year after the end of Season 3 of Batwoman, Ryan Wilder finally gets her epilogue here. Javicia Leslie plays the classic Batwoman 2.0 and Red Death. It's not bad, although I…

Batman vs. Robin caught my attention with its title, and I expected intense battles between Gotham's guardian and his hot-headed son. I did get some of these sequences, but the actual fight between them lasted about two minutes, which disappointed me. There’s a decent amount of action, but there could have been more.…

There aren’t many films about marriage, but this one is undeniably the best of them all. Danny DeVito surprised me by coming up with such an original and inventive film, which won me over right from the start. What I liked most was how the seemingly idyllic marriage gradually turned into deep animosity. Michael…

A classic that most people today might find laughable, but I found the brighter moments where I had a great time. Sylvester Stallone in the iconic role of the hero and enforcer of the law, Judge Dredd, really delivered. Rob Schneider felt out of place at times, but occasionally I laughed when he said something funny.…

The third installment concluded this miniseries, and I should note that this film wasn’t bad either, but in a few weeks, I won’t remember what I actually watched. I was glad to see new heroes alongside Batman, like Nightwing and Catwoman. They definitely added some energy, but even they couldn’t pull it out of the…

An excellent animated film that showcases the early days of Batman and his gradual friendship with Detective Gordon. The story is portrayed very well, the dark comic atmosphere of Gotham is perfect, and the 61-minute runtime is more than sufficient. If the film had been longer, it might not have earned such a high…
