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,…

It took three years for the emotions to settle. In the meantime, I watched all of Supergirl and Superman & Lois. But now I'm quite curious about how the series managed to continue with the new Batwoman played by Javicia Leslie. The problem (or advantage, depending on how you look at it) is the fact that the new…

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…

In his later years, Jiří Svoboda succumbed to the belief that he is a cross between Fellini and Kubrick, which unfortunately is not true... Recently, I literally endured two television productions that disgusted me with their cheap pandering. This film displeases me for almost the same reason, albeit from the opposite…

A stale affair - desperately stale, I would say. It's hard to believe that this film was directed by the same person who, a shocking 17 years earlier, managed to make Grand Illusion, a top-tier film still considered one of the pinnacles of its genre. While Jean Renoir was able to surprise in the 1930s, by the mid…

I had no idea this film existed, so I was curious about what significant piece of Czech cinema history I had missed. Now I understand why I hadn't heard of this co-production mess before. It's well-known that Jiří Adamec is among the worst that the Czechoslovak film industry has produced, but the disastrous outcome of…

This forgotten piece was created on the sets built for the famous film Lemonade Joe and, in hindsight, it seems to me that it was a sudden impulse without any long-term preparation behind it. It feels like a hastily cobbled-together attempt at a slapstick comedy in the style of old silent films, but the script and…
