| 76 31% | The Swimmers (2022) - Rated 15 Nov 2024
"A story that seems worth telling indeed, and while skillfully told there's room for improve the nuances. Feels romanticized and less gloom than reality. Which is fine, it's a movie. Not a sport's movie though, it's an European refugee crisis movie."

| 89 82% | Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) - Rated 13 Nov 2024
"Watching this in almost 2025 feels refreshing. The cast was perfect. I could be going older but I was laughing like a 16 year old at couple of scenes. It's cliché but the whole movie just feels so comfortable and soothing. Simple, no grand agendas or wokeism, just plain old having fun. I'll watch this one again."

| 80 45% | Spaceman (2024) - Rated 13 Nov 2024
"I was expecting less but once I started I was expecting more. There's so many ways this could be more amazing, but it goes for self-discovery love story with accidental Sci-fi theme and silly elements (that I don't completely dislike) to go along with it. It's unique but don't expect a serious Sci-fi flick. I do like the direction of Sandler this last decade."

| 84 62% | I Am Mother (2019) - Rated 24 Oct 2024
"Positively surprised considering I had low expectations. The movie could develop more on a philosophical side of AI/humanity/survival theme but they replaced that with good ol' action and tention scenes. I like the premise a lot and while they do challenge the viewer just enough to start thinking and wondering, they don't really succeed in bringing you to full immersion. Sci-fi to watch!"

| 51 3% | John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) - Rated 14 May 2024
"Holy shit talk about over the top! Packed with action, well rehearsed choreography and mindless shooting. At this point it just feels they're going for the movies kill record. It's like watching a video game but not playing. Very much liked the bird's view scene with flaming bullets, others are just more of the same. And passing of the time was before the sunrise was so awkward that I could barely stay focused. I won't be missing the series after such a bitter end."

| 95 99% | Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 07 May 2024
"IMAX. When Paul rides Shai-Hulud for the first time will go in my personal history as one of favorite moments in the cinema. Never has 3 hours passed so immersed and swift, wishing this was a 6 hour film. Slowly paced after all introductions to the universe (with Part One), Villenouve focuses on atmospheric immersion of Dune universe. It does not follow the book completely and world-building is much greater in the book, but this series is a great representation of it. One of the greatest sequels"

| 80 45% | Wonka (2023) - Rated 07 May 2024
"It does feel a bit magical and inspiring, especially in the beginning, but it slowly rolls out to be a rather average story with too many forced coincidences and confusing target audience. It's still an enjoyable but what could be a masterpiece ends up being a nice experience at the movies."

| 81 51% | Priscilla (2023) - Rated 09 Apr 2024
"A toned down version with what feels a lot of details left out, but looking through the eyes of Priscilla now, as on old lady, probably how she wants to be seen. We see the film develop and narrate through atmospheric scenes with little glimpses of wild life. Priscilla's perception of the birdie in a golden cage feels almost claustrophobic. The grooming part feels very weird in this age and day, but hey, if the society didn't see it as problem at the time I won't judge. Sublime flick!"

| 91 94% | Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) - Rated 06 Apr 2024
"A movie that isn't limited by the limits of a movie! But since it's so packed and fast you have a feeling you're missing amazing details that simply cannot be perceived with pacing as fast as it is. I very much like the format of the Spider verse films and they seem to be defining a whole new generation of cinema. The story is nice, not completely logical and consistent but hey, it's too packed to be perfect on a macro level. Would love to rewatch even if it has action scenes that're too long!"

| 90 89% | Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) - Rated 08 Mar 2024
"A welcome and refreshing take on multiverse theories that seem so fundamental yet difficult to grasp with our linear mind! I would almost think the film gets lost a bit, but then again with all the possibilities of absurdities in the end it convices you they were going exactly for that and finally the whirlwind of chaos and story of traditional Chinese immigrants facing difficulties of modern life we land in a little more orderly universe where love is found and traditions blend into the modern."
