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…

A sex-packed would-be thriller/drama with a dysfunctional romantic motif. When the main characters aren’t having sex, donkeys are mating in the yard or one of the dozen couples or threesomes are going at it in a by-the-hour hotel, where half of the film takes place. And if not that, at least the sound of intercourse…

After nine years, the spin-off prequel to the fourth installment of the established franchise from a nearly 80-year-old geezer... If it weren't for the Mad Max franchise and the old-timer George Miller, one would have expected a mess. But that series is Mad Max and that old man is the visionary Miller, or once again,…

A beautiful and enjoyable film that deals mainly with love and friendship. At first glance, it may look a little too amateurish, but the film is certainly not a dull affair. I liked the idea where one of the characters (Mark) was introduced by the others (Jeff and Andrea), and from two different perspectives. And even…

Hayao Miyazaki's animated feature films have a special and unforgettable charm that can only be seen in a very few films of a similar genre. Kiki's Delivery Service is no exception. A fairly simple story mixed with classically gorgeous animation, and the result is a joy to watch. Compared to his other films, Miyazaki…

Goro Miyazaki took after his successful father in a big way, as it reminded me a lot of some of Miyazaki Sr's films. This is again a film full of fantasy, featuring quirky characters (especially Cob, who reminded me of the witch from Howl’s Moving Castle). At the centre again is a couple in love (here you could…

I was really looking forward to Prometheus, because I like movies that take place outside of our planet Earth, and it's directed by Ridley Scott and starring my favourite Michael Fassbender. Even a day after watching it, I thought that all the lukewarm reception and quite a lot of cold reviews were wrong, but then I…

I was pretty lukewarm on Wes Anderson's Rushmore, but I'll gladly stand behind Moonrise Kingdom for what would be a quality film from a very oddball director. The whole thing felt so terribly childlike and playful at times that it even reminded me a bit of Michel Gondry's work (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind…
