One well placed bullet can change the world

A John Wick spin-off. There's really nothing here but skillfully choreographed fight scenes with firearms, knives, axes, grenades, everything possible to harm another person. You can watch it for a while, but the repetition is exhausting.  

We were just here gravedigging

It's quite fun to watch. Started out interestingly and the pleasant tension continued for a while, but towards the end things got out of hand as the story was being woven together in a terrible hurry. Still, a sufficiently gripping thriller with a bit of Hitchcock-esque features.

Lost in the wildfire

From the very beginning, you sense an ominous atmosphere and, as a result, a terribly sad ending. A very emotional and memorable film, but so ruthlessly cruel that you won't enjoy it to the fullest. It will hang in the tentacles of the mind for a long time. 

Hot smoke of the infinite void

A pretty nice biographical gangster drama. Rapper Xatar is involved in many things. This refugee ventures into the circles of violence and drug world, sometimes flirting with old love and trying to get a boost for his music career.

The mighty fall at last

East meets west in an embarrassing western movie. Reckon we are expected to laugh at this parody and all its graphic bloodbaths, but no one bothers. Pays homage to old western classics and their gunslinger myths, nothing else. 

They are my losers

Slow Horses season #3. You can't help but enjoy the fireworks of humor, violence, and excitement that this series offer. MI-5 is breaking apart for whistleblowing and things get volatile as shit. Somehow it feels like a privileged pleasure to watch this.

No one answers to prayers

It's style over substance. Wes Anderson should do something normal for a change. And stop this masturbation nonsense. The quirkiness has run its course. His black comedy is no longer funny (if it ever truly was for that matter). The actors are put out of their comfort zone and normal acting shenanigans and it's kind of hackneyed fucking thing as well. The viewers are left cold and bored. 

Dungeons of diabolique

A film about a donkey and its odyssey. In its sacred simplicity, nothing else. Endearing and cute, if only it weren't so ominously sad. A very different and memorable film nonetheless. 

Duck is in the water

Quite interesting in many ways. A thriller made in 1995 and somehow it seems even older, perhaps because we're not used to seeing modern-day experienced actors Nicole Kidman, Joaquim Phoenix, Matt Dillon and Casey Affleck as almost teenagers. The plot is about a ruthless woman who will do anything to become famous. Even murder.

Dancing in blood

A good war movie, although there isn't really any proper plot. Navy SEALs fight against Iraqi soldiers in Ramadi, Iraq. They are mostly stuck in one building, and the movie tells the story of their struggle for survival. There's a lot of shooting and explosions, violent and chaotic all around, probably quite close to authentic warfare. Based on a true story.

Every proctologist story ends in the same way

There is nothing wrong with this season either. Extremely enjoyable comedy that you can easily spend several hours a week with. Introduces couple of wonderful characters, namely David Puddy (portrayed by Patrick Warburton) and J. Peterman (John O'Hurley). Notable episodes: The Face Painter, The Secretary, The Fusilli Jerry, The Diplomat's Club and The Understudy.

No mind, no soul

Fantastically weird, visually stunning and, as a zombie feature should, disturbing and gory. But halfway through the movie it lost its focus. Sure then it introduced Ralph Fiennes's character which is great, but at the same time the movie switches its tone and the entire story starts falling apart. Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later is not bad in any sense, it's disgusting horror as it should be, but it's still the weakest of the three films in the series.

Everybody's getting laid after lunch

Brian De Palma's erotic thriller.  The thematics of the film owe a lot to Alfred Hitchcock. Although this is a predictable murder mystery, it's quite interesting and enjoyable to watch because the story is not paced with quick editing and it flows smoothly and the brilliant actors (Michael Caine, Nancy Allen, Angie Dickinson and Dennis Franz) follow along.  

One well placed bullet can change the world

A John Wick spin-off. There's really nothing here but skillfully choreographed fight scenes with firearms, knives, axes, grenades, ever...
