The gates of hell are open night and day

This doesn't have the feeling of this first one even if it tries to recycle a lot. Gladiator II's computer-generated humbug kills the pleasure and entertainment and, quite frankly, Paul Mescal in the leading role nowhere near replaces Russell Crowe's charisma. The film is an overstuffed blockbuster, but lacks depth.

Decaying vestige

Horrendous piece of garbage. It's sad really that in this day and age this sort of thing is even being released at all. The movie is basically filmed in the back of a truck. It's cheap and talentless insult to all the other so called confined space movies.

Tomorrow is promised to no one

The cast in Clint Eastwood's Absolute Power - Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood, Ed Harris, Laura Linney, E.G. Marshall, Dennis Haysbert, Richard Jenkins, Scott Glenn - is tough class. Their presence is impressive, downright dazzling. And the story of the President of the United States involved in a ghastly killing, and a burglar witnessing it, is brilliant. If they had paid more attention to the small details and cleaned up the mistakes, the film would be one of the greatest thrillers.

The moment the laughter died

Torture. There's not much to like in Todd Phillips's Joker: Folie à Deux. It's an awfully boring affair. Riding on the coat tails of Joker (2019), they probably thought they could pull off anything, stupid musical bits included, and people would suck it up.

Just another man hunting for a trophy

Essentially Kraven the Hunter is a ridiculous action hero movie. The character Kraven is a fighter of animal justice whose superpowers are courtesy of a some mysterious elixir. He's a gung-ho kind of guy and mercilessly wipes out the people in the poaching business. The movie is a different kind of absurdity with inconsistencies and plotholes, but kind of liked it all the same. Wacky shit.

Sulfuric and hydroflouric acid for blood

A group of young people want to change their miserable home planet to a planet with at least one Sun. With a brighter future in mind, they need to hijack a deserted spaceship that just happens to be floating around useless. But of course, that's the one where the alien monsters reside! Alien Romulus started off great, a good idea and proper tormenting claustrophobic horror in the making. But the potential was promptly killed.

Hope is just another burning soul

Be prepared to see something you have never seen before. Everything in Adolescence is great. Mind-blowing even. Everything but the story. The cinematography is pure magic and the acting, wow, it's properly done, thought-out and executed to absolute perfection. The uncomplicated story is the only downfall. This four episode thriller mini series was created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne.

Rumors are often revealing

Jewish refugee Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) plots a revenge against the Nazis who slaughtered her family. It catches the attention of the Basterds, a group of guerrilla soldiers led by Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt). Things might end up in a bloodbath and the deaths of key figures in the leadership of the German Nazis. Quentin Tarantino's war movie Inglourious Basterds (2009) is wicked and entertaining historical nonsense.

Fuel for astronomy

An ordinary car mechanic from Essex, UK, meets a draq queen. Sort of fancies her. And a whole new world appears and ignites a love story of two different people. That's all there is to it, pretty average drama as a whole.

Prayers don't work

It's fucking solid piece. Hugh Grant is great. Superstitious mumbo-jumbo doesn't fuck up the suspense and thrills in its religious horror entirety. A killer film.

A passage through thunder

Gard B. Eidsvold's performance as Vidkun Quisling (1887-1945) is one of the greatest and most memorable acting performances I've seen in recent years. Every single detail in his portrayal seems to be thought-out to perfection and makes a huge impact on the movie. Vidkun Quisling was a Norwegian Nazi collaborator in charge of Norway's government during the country's occupation by Germany during World War II. An intriguing and insightful film by Erik Poppe.
