A bit of a disappointment for me, only the awesome finale pulls it up to a higher rating, but otherwise a bit of a letdown. The light-hearted concept bothered me a bit, unfortunately it isn't very funny and most of the actors overact disgustingly theatrically (Andrew Koji downright pissed me off here and doesn't…

A decent, manipulative European oddity on an interesting subject, where Mia Wasikowska (she looks terrible!) shows students new dietary trends, which soon leads to kids stopping eating and parents being sick of it. Too bad it doesn't go into further extremes and there's probably only one properly unpleasant scene. The…

George Miller is a god and serves up another excellent post-apocalyptic blast. If Fury Road was a 10, this is a very solid 9! Another great visually lavish cinematic experience, of which there won't be many this year, so don't hesitate any longer and head on over! It tells the revenge story of a young Furiosa in an…

A step-sister of Crimes of the Future, this time set in the realistic present and more oriented toward high-tech gadgets. The stylish Vincent Cassel in a Tesla, scenes of his deceased, scarred wife Diane Kruger following an amputation, her alive-and-well sister Diane Kruger seducing her widowed brother-in-law Cassel,…

An “agrarian” feel-good drama about rural youths who raise cows, make cheese and ride dirt bikes. A family scarred by tragedy, rivalry, tractors, sex in the barn, love and friendship, responsibility for a little sister. For a debut by a young director, Holy Cow is pleasantly authentic, with a feel for the setting and…

Next to Planet of the Apes, I think Dark Shadows is the weakest film from Tim Burton, whom I respect a lot as a director, as several of his films are favourites of mine. The visuals are again top notch – there are many scenes that are truly a feast for the eyes, especially the cliff sequences and the end of the film.…

The oldest film about the most famous maritime disaster can offer some nice shots of the Titanic's "double" and some decent work with small models. The story, however, is already very weak, and I was quite bothered by the swinging camera, which was probably meant to suggest that it was set at sea. Well, that might…

For me, the weakest Hitchcock film so far, lacking suspense (maybe I'm just infected with his nickname "master of suspense") and a more convoluted plot with some wow-effect at the end of the story (at least it seemed that way to me). The night scenes of the "cats" running around on the rooftops are probably the best…

No sooner had I casually pondered a potential lower rating in the previous review, the situation suddenly changed for the better. Coincidence? I doubt it, it's probably just one of many mysterious Irish enigmas. I immediately guessed that the third episode would be somewhat different, because the Dove put on a…

Looks like three stars is all I can muster for now, as the second episode didn't really grab me. Dove's ongoing feud with the church keeps her as my favorite character by far. I'm so indifferent to the rest of the characters that I needed a close-up just to figure out who was being buried at the end. If the mysterious…
