The fifth rider of the apocalypse

It's a fun ride. A thrill ride of crazy stunts and choreography. George Miller's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. It's full of action and the story is epic madness. A mixed bag of entertaining things. Rich characters, awesome sequences with wacko graphic violence and wholehearted fun.

The poisoning of the earth

A crime thriller masquerared as a comedy. In a nutshell, Potsy Ponciroli's Greedy People is a flawed story that's not funny. It starts off light as a feather and ends up dark as night. The askew narrative didn't know where it was going.

Some water is magic

A swimming pool is evil. A former major league baseball player Ray Waller (Wyatt Russell), with his wife and their two children, moves into a new home and in its backyard lies this malignant pool. It's haunted, but drowns you in boredom really.

Harpoon to the heart

A cult movie but no one really understands why. It's shit any way you look at it. So bad it's really bad. Some camp value on a side note only.

The law is wrong

Humans ruled the planet for thousands of years. But when a weird virus spread out, humans became stupid and apes took control. They somehow robbed human's intellect and ability to speak. Coexisting with one and other was a fucking mess still. Wes Ball's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is probably the weakest film in the whole Planet of the Apes franchise.

No time to get ginger ale

To put it short, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have aged a little bit more and they still can't act. Of course it's a shit story too.

The unfortunates of the world

Classic. What's there in the chemistry between Robert de Niro and Charles Brodin alone. But Dennis Farina as a mob boss, Yaphet Kotto as an FBI honcho and John Ashton as a bounty hunter. They make a terrific cast. Midnight Run, by Martin Brest, is an adventurous buddy comedy and a road movie of a bondsman escorting a former mob accountant across country from New York City to Los Angeles. Hardly no weak moments here.

Written on the wind

Earth is pretty much uninhabitable because there's no oxygen left. Handful of people are holed up living in basements and underground tunnels. Luckily they are quite intelligent and have devices to produce precious air. Freshen up a bit, eat healthy and do normal stuff like read. With state-of-the-art oxygen kits they can explore the world, scavenge for food and supplies. Things get tricky and possible volatile when people meet other people and it's a guessing game are all the gun-toting strangers reliable and nice. It's a bit silly, Stefon Bristol's Breathe, but there are worse dystopian flicks out there.

Tuning chemistry

Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass didn't want to have anything to do with this movie. It's a different animal. Jason Bourne is mentioned only in passing altho the film rides quite shamelessly on his name. It's still packed with great action. Packed on shit storyline. But still. 

The fifth rider of the apocalypse

It's a fun ride. A thrill ride of crazy stunts and choreography. George Miller 's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga . It's full of action ...
