An Italian comedy from the times of Seneca. Emperor Nero makes foolish decisions, while his mother Agrippina rules the empire. Overall, it could have been an interesting spectacle for viewers curious about Technicolor and CinemaScope, but in competition with many other films from the era of the early emperors, Nero's…

A skillfully filmed schizo with an excellent performance by Jim Carrey. Most people will remember him for The Mask, but it's in Man on the Moon that he kicks it up a gear and his Tony Clifton is a great caricature. Socially still quite topical, thematically novel, it's just that after an hour the whole farce gets…

An enjoyable and intimate atmospheric little horror film, where Benjamin Barfoot shows that he is not a loser and that he can definitely still surprise. It's nothing original, it's a bit of a mash-up of Come Play and The Babadook, but I can't remember the last time when an atmospheric and chilling affair like this…

One of the most optimistic and light-hearted films by Woody Allen. Mighty Aphrodite does not lack solid dynamics and relatively short running time. We may be seeing a variation of the same thing, but Mira Sorvino's charming prostitute brings a nice twist. In contrast, the antic elements are downright annoying and…

A decent Indian thriller on a serious note without the dancing and humour, which would not have been appropriate given the subject matter. Too bad there are no explicit scenes, but it's about children, so I can't blame them. That said, I was expecting the atmosphere to be darker and the pace a bit more exciting so I…

Well, yin and yang, as opposing forces, can complement each other, but in the presence of accountant Perrin, you'd need to have "Fortune" written in your mother's name on your birth certificate for it to work. If you're just an ordinary person, you're trapped, and his resin will stick to your soles as well. Pierre…

Martin Campbell's expertly cooked, action-packed soup. He wiped off the blue from the zero-zero-seven flag, turning the Chinese muscle into a gentlemanly red beret past his prime, who doesn't eat the dogs of his enemies but puts them to sleep and kills only what's necessary for revenge (if John met him in Vietnam, he…

Arrival. With humility, indecision, and fear in front of a blank A4 sheet. A clash of banality and inner depth, even at the metaphorical level, where, except for the ending, one can detect emotional missteps on the theme of human weakness and courage. The royal reggae of Viktor Dvořák and Martin Hofmann's necrotizing…

She has a uterus stretched like a bowling ball bag, and he came with a vasectomy at five minutes to midnight. If something else had been swallowed earlier, they wouldn't have to swallow their ambitions now. It's an outright advertisement for contraception that leads directly to clear conclusions, and amid the comedic…

You can weigh 90 pounds even with keys and arms like toothpicks, but if you're Jules Winnfield's protégé (at one point, he looked like he was going to quote Ezekiel 25:17 again), the crooks won't come after you, and bullets will avoid you. Well, except for those two from the old Batman. It's a classic action motif set…
