Not to repeat himself, George Miller went about it differently this time and decided to focus on what he didn't have time for last time, and we get to know the characters and the world better. But that doesn't mean there's no action. There is action, and what kind of action. The first act alone puts most recent action…

If you don’t read anything about Anora in advance or see the trailer, it is flawlessly unpredictable not only in terms of plot, but also in terms of genre. The situation in which the protagonist finds herself easily varies in its degree of seriousness, shifting from tensely comedic to cruelly dramatic. The film…

An excellent flashback to Fury Road. It lacks Max Rockatansky, it lacks the frenetic pace, but the story is more substantial. Furiosa explains the laws of the imagined world. George Miller seems to realize that he skipped over a lot of things and presented them as fact without showing them. He describes a fragile…

A good movie, but not exactly groundbreaking or unforgettable. It was still a pleasant watch with relatively likable characters, both the main duo and some of the supporting ones they encountered along the way. The pace was a bit uneven at times, but the animation and music were nice. The story was decent, but for me,…

A young, novice actress’s whining that shooting an intense scene for a butter commercial with Bernardo Bertolucci and Marlon Brando ruined her life. Without mentioning that it also made her a global star (which she definitely didn’t want). The first half of the film with Matt Dillon as Brando provides an interesting…

I haven't been this conflicted in a cinema for a long time and I haven't asked myself so often whether I like what I'm watching or whether it annoys me. Luca Guadagnino simply evokes in me with each new film either a slight interest, a slight disinterest, or just this complicated love-hate relationship. In his…

I love the original Road House. Strip it of the 80's charm, the sex appeal, the fighting philosophy, the brutality; swap the charmingly oblivious overkill for self-awareness, swap the practical effects for repulsive digital ones and you have the new Road House. The fact that this one had huge ratings is a testament to…

An incredible banality. When will Czech filmmakers finally realise that it is not enough to take a seemingly dramatic story and somehow just translate it to the screen with the idea that it will work. If you don't have any creative handwriting, ideas, courage to try something new, an interesting style, or God forbid…

How much you will like The Iron Claw will probably depend on how far you have set the boundary of when a tragic melodramatic film becomes downright "misery porn". For me, that line was crossed here. In any case, this is otherwise a very well made, acted and (without knowing the actual history) suspenseful film. Holt…

The dramatic roles that Adam Sandler has been doing so well so far have brought some rarely successful achievements in his filmography, but Spaceman seems to be the first misstep in this respect. I let it sit in my head for quite a long time, I wanted to go along with it because of the Czech imprint, but unfortunately…
