Save it, wolf fucker!
A small town police officer investigates a misdemeanor case, but turns out there are evil satanists lurking in the woods and they, in a baptism of blood, turn the poor sheriff into a werewolf! A proper B-movie. Manna from heaven. The world of cinema wouldn't be the same without them. Lots more entertaining than most of the professional shit they are churning out these days.
Shamans of sperm
To serve science, radical experiments are taking place in outer space. Deathrow inmates are selected to be used as guinea pigs. Their spacecraft is heading towards a black hole to find out is there a way to utilize its energy. And the people, they are never coming back. Boring shit when they all are aboard, tough shit for Monte (Robert Pattison) and his daughter when everyone else on the vessel has perished.
Forward to the curse of dimension
Like alcoholics have their Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) fellowship, the theme of this movies is that mercenaries and hired assassins have their own similar organization Killers Anonymous (KA). Whoever brainstormed this fucking thing must have thought the idea is hilarious. Well, it isn't. Most dumbest shit of a script this year so far.

Moments of struggle define us
Once again the life of the president of The United States is in grave danger, but he's lucky to have a secret agent Mike Banning by his side. However, it seems that someone's framing Banning for the attempt of killing the big chief. Unfortunately the story is written so poorly we knew all the details of the film before we even had to see it. Pretty cool action though.
How black a heart can be
John Rambo has set foot in the Arizona desert training horses and digging tunnels for fun. That is until his friend goes missing in Mexico and it seems Mexican mafia has kidnapped her. So Rambo goes against the notorious drugs and prostitute cartel who are armed to teeth. Luckily Rambo is pretty good at the killing business.
War is not over
I understand the anger and frustration people felt with the final season of Game of Thrones. It feels awfully rushed and there's some obvious mistakes and everything. There are only six episodes and the first two were boring shit and the rest mindless chaos. But I kinda liked it anyways.

Fallen on the highway
Three Beers was a bar in a student village of Turku, Finland, for something like thirty years. I lived next door to it for few years and frequented the pub. They demolished to place and are building something more modern in its place. And people are sad and angry. And they interviewed the people who loved the place so much.
Passenger seat's not the best way to transport a corpse
Season 2 of Mindhunter. Easily on the top 3 shows running currently. FBI profilers investigate serial killings and study the gruesome phenomenon interviewing notorious killers (Charles Manson, Ed Kemper, et al.). And it's mostly based on true events. Absolutely killer stuff.

All the best people shave twice a day
Somewhat a bore. A 14-year old Lolita (Sue Lyon) makes grown men go all crazy and get totally obsessed with her. Based on a Vladimir Nabokov novel, directed by Stanley Kubrick, yet it's still waste of time.

One man euthanasia clinic
Don't bother checking it out, but I've seen a movie with the same exact concept before. A guy is so desperate to end his life, so he hires an assassin to do it for him. "Outsource a suicide", as they put it. Anyways, this makes a dark comedy and it's pretty funny as the soon-to-retire hitman (Tom Wilkinson) turns out to be somewhat of a fuck-up and the guy he's supposed to kill suddenly gets second thoughts. Nothing overly exciting, but satisfying enough.
Horror in the highlands
Didn't watch the season # 3 like a true fan and sat it through immediately. Took my time with it, too much so, and got all too confused of the plot a few times. Took the last few episodes like a trooper and liked what I saw.
Slaves of the sea
A drama of bunch of singing fishermen and a recording label honcho who falls in love with the group and one of the citizens in a picturesque village of Port Isaac, Cornwall, England. A feel good film that is extremely enjoyable to watch.

Toxic moon vibrations
I don't understand the zero ratings and otherwise negative feedback. There's nothing amiss here. It's an offbeat zombie movie done with good taste and subtle black humour. It's filled up with interesting characters like Tom Waits as a hermit, Steve Buscemi as pro-Trump farmer, Iggy Pop and Sturgill Simpson as undeads and Tilda Swinton as an undertaker. Also people like Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloë Sevigny, Danny Glover and Rosie Perez in the roster. The earth has fallen off its axis and that has caused a full-on zombie apocalypse. Wicked fun. Directed by Jim Jarmusch.
