If I had gone to the movie theater to see this biography, I would have been disappointed. I definitely agree with the opinion that even an average documentary would easily surpass this feature film. A weak, uninteresting work that only exists to illustrate the book of Whitney Houston's first partner Robyn Crawford A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston (2019).

A great resume. Emotions, drama, everything take to the max. The brilliant Angela Bassett in the lead role, with Laurence Fishburne also having a very expressive performance. Even though Tina Turner is not my favorite singer, her story belongs to the important female destinies. At the time of the premiere, she still had several good years ahead of her, but there wouldn't have been anything if she hadn't divorced and stood on her own two feet. Classic #WomenPower

The basic idea is good, the execution terrible. The last good films with Mickey Mouse came out in the 40s. This is just another direct-to-video in the style of Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse. So it remains just a cut, whose best parts are the tried and tested shorts Lonesome Ghosts (1937), Donald Duck and the Gorilla (1944), and Trick or Treat (1952).

Disney Princess Enchanted Tales was supposed to be the title of a new direct-to-video series of fairy tales with Disney princesses. However, the pilot project was released during internal changes at Disney studios, so we never got to see the announced stories with Cinderella, Belle, or Mulan. Only this miniature with Aurora and Jasmine remained. I can certainly not say that all animated Disney sequels were great, but in retrospect, I wouldn't even claim that the internal reshuffling at the studios was beneficial in any way. Some controversial projects were canceled, but now we are inundated with live-action remakes and preschool series, so it more or less comes out the same. Keys to the Kingdom is a clever play on the topic of what Aurora had to deal with during her reign. It is sweet, funny, and the songs are enjoyable. More Than a Peacock Princess, on the other hand, shows the classic situation in Agrabah, Jasmine is bored with princess duties and therefore gets a new job... at the local school. Again, a funny and charming miniature.

So, this is the famous breakthrough of the original Christian singer? Most importantly, Madonna praised it and the video was shot with fashion dolls. And these weren't any Barbies from Mattel, but Fashion Royalty Erin, Ayumi, and Francisco from Integrity Toys. No wonder IT later also released Katy's doll.

Ghostbusters 5 pleasantly build on Afterlife. In the meantime, the Spengler's have become full-fledged ghostbusters and continue in the New York tradition. The kids have grown up, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson got a little more space and work alongside the new generation. A straightforward, uncomplicated, and relaxed continuation.

Ghostbusters 4 unfortunately fell victim to covid and even after several years, the film's existence has gone largely unnoticed by those who obsessed over the original films. Which is a shame. Ghostbusters 3 had an advantage in terms of advertising thanks to the all-female team. The new generation revolves around the fact that Harold Ramis passed away, so the story mainly follows the Spengler family. The concept itself is very enjoyable, as the Spenglers have lived outside the realm of ghostbusters and with the exploration of their grandfather's legacy, memories of the adventures in the eighties can be refreshed for the audience. The forefront features the teenagers and their new buddies from the countryside. Everything fits together perfectly and eventually, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson make an appearance, so everything is exactly as it should be. It's a return to a classic family show that has been missing for a long time.

"Passage" by Karel Pecka is considered one of the classic texts from 68 Publishers, where it was first published in 1974. In Juraj Herz's film adaptation, it became a metaphor for the mid-nineties and immortalized the then appearance of the Lucerna club. Some of the ideas are great, others are dadaistic, and some are controversial, yet the whole brings an unexpected experience. Everything is here that I expect from Czech nineties, including the spicy Martina Adamcova.

This is one of those legendary Disney TV series from the 80s. Disney started focusing on Winnie the Pooh as early as 1977 in the movie The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but because kids from the nineties mostly only knew the TV production, it was hard to explain to them that old Disney canon. That's why some are still disappointed today when they remember the completely different poetics of Alan Alexander Milne's stories. As far as I remember, there was no disappointment at home, and I remember the series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh with love and I continuously supplement the whole phenomenon. Even if I leave out the puppets and 3D animation, there are still endless things to watch.

One of the many films about the Mayerling affair. And one of the best, because although it's again a family drama from the life of Sissi, it's nowhere near as sweet as the trilogy with Romy Schneider. The German-speaking space knew how to remember the crown prince as a human tragedy, it wasn't necessary to tell a novel for maids each time. Besides the pensive Rudolf played by Prack, there's the excellent Lil Dagover, who reprised her Sissi role years after Elisabeth von Österreich.
