| 80 70% | Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 13 Apr 2024
"I liked the first one better. Too many changes, too much of Chani. Opening half feels clumsy and the closing one feels rushed."
|
| 100 98% | Rush (2013) - Rated 07 Apr 2024
"Moviemaking at its best. The theme is magnificent, the story is great (and made even greater by the fact that life had written it), the casting is top-notch, directing, music, cinematography... you name it. This is for sure the best film about rivalry being a drive for human excellence I've seen so far."

| 85 79% | In the Name of the Father (1993) - Rated 04 Apr 2024
"At last a good movie. Very solid court drama with actual plot, proper characters, pacing, plucking at your heart strings at all the right moments and having something to say about the human nature."
|
| 70 45% | Reservoir Dogs (1992) - Rated 03 Apr 2024
"Typical Tarantino: style over substance. Plus a bit of torture porn this time. And gallons of blood everywhere."
|
| 40 10% | The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) - Rated 03 Apr 2024
"Meticulously slow. Matchingly boring, dreary and gross. Gosh... today's cinema. It has to be fucking painful, doesn't it? It's either pointlessly perverse/perversely pointless or pointlessly painful/painfully pointless with those damn people. No other option. And to think it's all coming from the brilliant "In Bruges" creator. There's just no hope for humanity. And yes, I got your little precious donkey gnostic allegory against God, you prick."

| 80 70% | Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) - Rated 01 Apr 2024
"Gosh...salesmen. There has to be a special place in Hell reserved just for them. The script is great, spotted with truth bombs, if a bit too talkative (but the stellar cast, nomen omen, sells it). This is more of a theatrical play of a movie, so you have to like this type of cinema to enjoy it."

| 75 57% | Raging Bull (1980) - Rated 01 Apr 2024
"On a positive side: it's a kind of a man's cinema nobody does any longer. Also, it is indeed very well directed. I especially liked De Niro breaking the fourth wall in a scene with Vicky when he was "showing her his dad'a house". It was done to make anybody watching it uncomfortable, effectively turning them into a peep. On a negative side: it was pretty boring as far as biopics go. I guess "raging" is as definitive as flat and singular a dimension and bulls aren't very interesting animals."

| 55 24% | Shine (1996) - Rated 01 Apr 2024
"Disgusting anti-man/anti-family programming disguised in a melodramatic story of a troubled Jewish pianist."
|
| 75 57% | The King (2019) - Rated 31 Mar 2024
"Going emo on middle-ages. But, let's not be too picky with today's cinema. The acting was good. The script had some great dialogues. The last scene was poignant. And, the essential nature of how governance and authority are made was conveyed."
|
| 65 37% | House of the Dragon (2022) - Rated 24 Mar 2024
"Could be good... and yet. Wimin stronk strikes yet again! I'll pass, thank you very much."
