Barry Jenkins’ “Mufasa: The Lion King” is a visually splendid but overly familiar semi-sequel, mostly prequel to Jon Favreau’s CGI motion-capture 2019 remake.
I’m not fond of either of the...

This is a good example of aiming to high and hollywood would do it better, The Lion of Flanders is (sadly enough) not a good film by any sense, where did they go wrong? Oh, on so many accounts, the music doesn't fit this type of film, the acting is bad to decent, the pacing is bad, the sets are bad, the costumes are somewhat alright, but then we get to watch some of the most atrocious battle scenes...
Sometimes, happenstance works out for the best. Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu will be the last movie I see in theaters in 2024, and it’s a spectacular way to close out the year in film, if not particularly...
With the rise of authoritarian rule, AI deep fakes, and misinformation on the internet and social media, this sci-fi/documentary hybrid paints a dystopian world that may one day be the future. Serving...
MAGA v DOGE, the Christmas gift that keeps on giving, is an early sign of the coming infighting that could diminish Trump's power—we're definitely not seeing signs of an iron fist amid all that golfing...
It is indeed a wonderful life if your entire town is white european, (minus that housemaid). The character desperately wants to leave to see the world, but plenty of the film shows life in the town with a real sense of community. Progress of the plot may feel a bit slow compared to today's films. As a poor excuse you can try to pretend that's the source of the character's wanderlust. The main villain...

Depardieu and Signourney Weaver team up to give us all this stinker of a comedy film, where to start, this must be one of the most awkward comedies I have seen in a long time, no real chemistry between the leads, a terrible plot, not a single clever moment or genuine comedic moment, it's a true slug to get through, but competently made so you keep watching hoping it gets better. It doesn't. Now on...
Ah, the 90's adaption of Cyrano de Bergerac, what's not to like? Depardieu as lead-actor, a poetic-drama set to film, with plenty of action scenes added, a very vibrant and lively depiction of 17th century France, lots of humor, some value dissonance (his cousin!), no nudity, the elevation of pure love. This is a terrific film. But, even though I like it I can understand why a lot of people would...

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is a horror comedy and a sequel to 2015’s Goosebumps, and based on the children’s horror book series of the same name by R.L. Stine. The film follows best friends Sonny...
Just rewatched it recently and it still holds up. I was gonna' say Scorsese doesn't disappoint but I googled his filmography and realized I haven't seen most. And there were a lot of titles that bombed or were hated by our milieu. Idk, I really liked "Silence" and this one as well. Unlike "The Big Short" it doesn't try to preach anti Capitalist stuff. And even skips over the technical jargon. The ending...
I originally wasn't planning on reviewing this thing because it's a big bag of nothing--but then I looked it up and saw the synopsis: "A rich college kid is taught a lesson." Taught a lesson? What f**king lesson? F**k you. There is no such story in this movie. There is not even a story in the whole movie so stop pretending--whoever wrote that didn't watch this pile of f**k. That's like saying Deuce...
KCD is an amazing medieval first person RPG game set in the midle ages (1400's Bohemia (Czech Republic), its developerd started at kickstarter. And they delivered. the game "tutorial intro" will last about 3 or 4 hours until the title starts, has amazing voice acting, and the developers went far trying to make it as realistic as they could for a videogame, you rise your skills by using them, you can...
I enjoyed this more than some Dracula adaptations. Decently-paced throughout, with typical Eggers style but an unfortunately high amount of jumpscares. I couldn't detect much agenda other than some feminist overtures (recurrent themes of men doubting the female lead, and depictions of confining corsets), but there could be some buried subversive themes
