I'm going to say it, and I'm surprised myself. Even though I'm an old boomer who grew up on the first Planet of the Apes from the late 60s, and even though I'm not a fan of the CGI serendipity of today, the direction that Rupert Wyatt took 13 years ago, Matt Reeves continued, and now Wes Ball has followed up on, is…

A mediocre poliziotteschi from the year when the popularity of this once super popular subgenre in Italian cinemas of the 70's started to slowly fade away and so did the yappy career of the charismatic Luc Merenda, who looked good on camera, but in all his films acted exactly the same, with a limited acting register.…

Not as good as the first two films, but considering how barren comedy is these days, it's more than decent entertainment that won't offend fans. Moving Ted to a school is a fine idea, once again he's getting stoned, is foul-mouthed to everyone and dispenses wisecracks, and it's again properly incorrect in terms of…

A family friendly adventure that surprisingly isn't as annoying as I suspected before watching it. Kumail Nanjiani gives a comedic undertone to the film and I found the whole freezing apocalypse thing fine, in fact even the orb villain looked very nice, kind of a mummy mix. Kids will like it a lot and parents at least…

I caught up with this rather praised crime drama-thriller that surprised me with its shocking and unpredictable conclusion. It's an intimate film with a couple of characters, where a daughter commits a nasty crime and the parents try to cover it up from the police. The hopeless and heavy atmosphere is woven throughout…

Epic is truly EPIC in terms of animation, there is no doubt about that, but the flashy visuals are marred by a fairly pedestrian story stuffed with all sorts of boilerplate motifs, which is a real shame in the end. The child-parent relationship, the intimate twist, the revenge, the "uncontrollable" hero and so on. Of…

I really liked the first part despite my expectations, so watching the sequel was a must for me. And I have to admit that this sequel doesn't fail to impress. The story is as simple as a slap, but the presence of a large number of action heroes of the last three decades, the abundance of catchphrases and parodying…

In terms of inventiveness, The Croods leads the pack, especially thanks to bizarre creatures and interesting inventions. Story-wise, it is nothing exceptional and does not avoid many educational and sentimental moments, but that has always belonged to animated films. I can't say that I laughed out loud in any…

We started Erasmus in Germany with a very appropriate film, which you enjoy even more when you know everything that studying abroad entails, from registration, through a ton of paperwork, to arrival and stay (I'd rather not think about departure just yet). The main character didn't really have it easy in the beginning…

For almost a whole month, I've been stumbling to the cinema to see Gravity, which I've been looking forward to since the first trailer, because I knew I was going to experience something unforgettable, unprecedented, and something I absolutely had to see in the cinema, because that's where this spectacular film…
