Ya ya ding dong

Catches the tackiness of the Eurovision Song Contest and pop music in general extremely well and utilizes it with the wonderful comic presence of Will Ferrell. Unfortunately it's not all fireworks, the highlights are at the first and last 15 minutes of the film.

A pack of vultures at a feast

Screams Agatha Christie loud and clear. There's a murder with multiple suspects and the police are investigating. A crazy-cool cast of Jamie Lee Curtis, Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, Christopher Plummer and M. Emmet Walsh! An intriguing murder mystery that, to much delight, turns into a brilliant dark comedy and everybody seems to be having a wonderful time.

An unmade bed of a man

I'm glad it wasn't just a sordid love affair, or love triangle, like it was first written. Turns out there was a bigger - juicier - story hidden behind the forbidden lust. And it truly made a difference. And the strong cast of Jeff Bridges, Callum Turner, Kate Beckinsale, Pierce Brosnan and Kiersey Clemons as well.

He loved to saw the women

This is disturbed. And grotesque. Reeks of putrefaction and gore. A based-on-a-true-story serial killer flick set in the 70s Hamburg, Germany. Zum Goldenen Handschuh is a run-down bar to all the hopeless alcoholics in the St. Pauli district, among them Fritz Honka, a hobbit-looking weirdo who has the taste for assaulting women, chopping them up and keeping all the good bits. This is a movie to get easily disgusted with, but you kinda get drawn into its graphic brutal atmosphere.

Nothing to gain, everything to lose

This goes back to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist. U.S. and U.K. waged war against them on false pretense, blackmail and lies, therefore they should be prosecuted. There was a whistleblower in the U.K. intelligence and she was under enormous stress as she coped with the burden of righteousness. The film's based entirely on a true story and the political thriller is executed well.

Brushing teeth with urine

A teenager turns into a superhero and everything's a bit goofy and funny. It's wild fantasy humbug and, really, it's rather alright. A children's movie tho.

The hardest part is staying free

John Brennan's wife is thrown into a prison for murder. The husband seems to be the only one certain of her innocence, but does he has it in him, the schoolteacher, to break her free from incarceration? It's a damn solid thriller with truly nail-biting last 45 minutes. Directed by Paul Haggis in 2010.

First thing you'll hear is your own scream

It's produced by some serious cash, so it looks fine and thence is somewhat entertaining. But unfortunately, for a parody of zombie movies, it's fucken not funny. A paper thin story with awfully infantile jokes.

Murder is murder, no matter who you are

Couldn't be more topical. In real life right now yankee cops have been caught killing and harrassing civilians as they please and their actions have contributed to hundreds of worldwide mass demonstrations against police brutality. Same shit here, crooked bullshit cops think they are the greatest beings on the planet and think they can do anything without consequences. Not that great a film this and the truth is lots more fucked and deranged than the fictional shit, but well worth the time and I'm sure films of this nature start popping up thousandfold in near future.

A hell of a machine

They are rare, sports drama let alone car racing movies worth a mention. Ron Howard's Rush (2013) was cool and this one, James Mangold's Le Mans 66 (or Ford v Ferrari) is damn near perfect. Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and Ken Miles (Christian Bale) are buddies and motorheads running on speed and gasoline. And, ahead of 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world's greatest racing event, they've teamed up to fire up the competition between Ford and Ferrari. Based on actual events and people. Wonderful movie.

We don't end

The director's cut, it lasts three hours, it's rather frustrating if you aren't into Stephen King adaptations. And Doctor Sleep is just that, at times enticing and cool, and sometimes just ridiculously corny. The story is about gypsylike vampire freaks who eat screams and drink pain, and are particularly drooling over people - their greatest enemy - who 'shine'.

I think we oughta bury him

Funny how memory tricks you. The Wild Bunch (1969) was easily my favourite childhood western, watched it dozens of times in the yesteryear. I had prolonged watching the movie for so long because I knew it so well already. Evidently I had made my own The Wild Bunch in my mind because it didn't resemble, apart from the opening scene, anything like this. Nevertheless, great as hell a western.

Slipping out and sneaking in

There's nothing wrong with this. Took it for a rainy day from Netflix, a damn solid thriller. Ageless. It's one of those classics that once you start watching it, you just have to finish it. It grabs you.

The untainted cradle of the heavens

A James Bond movie directed by Lewis Gilbert in 1979, starring Roger Moore as the agent 007, Lois Chiles as the Bond girl Dr. Goodhead, Bernard Lee as Bond's superior 'M' (the head of MI6), Desmond Llewelyn as 'Q' (the head of Q division), Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny (MI6 secretary) and Michael Lonsdale as Hugo Drax, the main antagonist, and Richard Kiel as his henchman Jaws. Title song performed by Shirley Bassey. A shuttle is hijacked in mid-air and James Bond is called to investigate. The adventure travels from California to Venice and Rio and, obviously, outer space. Absolutely routine stuff for the agent.
