In the first minutes, drone shots entice tourists with the beauty of Malta, but then Isaac Florentine fails to deliver anything captivating in his story of revenge and ash in the hair of the American president. Frank Grillo, who reads Greek Stoics here, but evidently only to crush someone's throat with the spine of…

I’ve had one major issue with this series since the very first episode, and it bugged me so much that I just couldn’t give it more than 3 stars. I thought I’d get used to it over time, but nope, it bothered me the entire way through... I’m talking about the constant switch to that chibi, simplified animation style…

And the award for the worst 3D CGI of 2024 goes to... Seriously, whoever approved those hideous monster designs should never work in anime again. The creatures in the dungeon scenes and that chaotic forest chase in the last two episodes were so bad I was tempted to give the show a lower rating. It was awful,…

Another version of the subject of an isolated community (again on an island) whose residents begin to realise that something is not quite right with their “perfect life”. The discovery of one’s own sexuality after getting off the daily inhibitory “medicine” is likable, and the feelings between the characters are…

“Thanks, Costa. Thanks for another film in which someone is dying of cancer. You have surpassed all others, with several patients dying at once. Thanks for the tons of enriching dialogue with them involving the film’s protagonist, a renowned author/philosopher with a nascent brain tumor. And thanks for those few…

From The Matrix to Old Guard to the croaker Strange. The initial mistake of the producers was not setting up an offshore account, and then their project went downhill. It's in vain to search for any positives in this wordily described mythology, and from the moment infinite Eman starts playing Mr. Tau, while you…

Mr. Faceless, or the invisible man on a quest for his face. Rather than a horror, Romero wanted to offer up the story of a man going through a difficult phase in life; however, so many other directions intersected here that none led to the goal with any lightness (ranging from a decently dark comedy to a music…

A tender chick and a bon vivant bear in a non-criminal partnership with a distracted archaeologist and his voluptuous wife. Watching the detective hot on their trail, who should only be observing and taking notes, makes the viewer occasionally doubt Greece as the cradle of civilization. Unlike the first one, this film…

Diabolical nonsense that futilely tries to create tension with dramatic music or by having Adjani roll her eyes (sometimes even her vulva). Only memories of Chazz Palminteri will remain. There he lies in the bathtub with ping-pong balls over his eyes while Sharon prepares a mnemonic device for him so he won't forget…

It feels like any odd episode of a typical Czech police drama with a pair of "detectives" coated in an antistatic layer, strange plot jumps, and the final revelation of the Barber, after which Poirot would exclaim, "Merde!" and tear up his license. I remain fascinated by Jiří Schmitzer's diction as he angrily hurls…
