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…

Gregory Hoblit has shown many times that he knows how to make excellent films, and Primal Fear undoubtedly belongs to this category. I must commend the casting of the lead roles, as Richard Gere and Edward Norton played their roles perfectly. Norton was probably the better of the two, delivering a brilliant portrayal…

Until now, I had no idea that Tim Robbins also directs films. Dead Man Walking heavily relies on the central film duo, Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. Both delivered incredible performances, and both deserved an Oscar for their roles, but only Sarandon won. It was interesting to watch how Penn gradually transforms from…

A very emotional story of a strong man who stood up against the odds in American football. Casting Will Smith in the lead role was a perfect decision that paid off. Whenever he plays the lead, he gives a hundred percent performance. I also praise the score composed by James Newton Howard, which was pleasing to my ears…

I’ll have to keep an eye on low-budget action films, as some of them are very good. Kill Command belongs to that group. The main idea is very good, and overall, the story doesn’t have as many gaps as I expected. There are plenty of action sequences and shootouts here, and a few of them deserve praise. The combination…

Another film that doesn’t boast a miraculous budget, but I had a royal good time watching it. In the first few minutes, not much happens, and I found myself listing reasons why I chose this film. But then it took off. An important factor that worked well was the film's perfect idea. The directors managed to execute it…
