The falling snow sets the killer off

An embarrassing rendition of Jo Nesbø's novel Snømannen (2007). I didn't even mind that people spoke English in Norway, but can't quite fathom why everything looks cheap and almost unfinished. The script is adrift most of the time, it comes and goes how it pleases and distrupts the core of the story that, in fact, is a good one. Lots of it in it - a sinister serial killer story - is great, but it's a fucking mess.

We gave peace a chance, now it's time for war

Ash and his sidekicks continue on saving the world, they have to find the book of the dead Necronomicon and banish it back to hell. The series is a perfect horror comedy, Bruce Campbell excels as the vulgar anti-hero demon slayer and its allround campiness and grooviness is mesmerizingly brilliant.

Be here now

Okay, yeah, it's a lovely film. Lasse Hallström's movie of a dog who looks to discover his purpose in life. Great heartwarming sappy shit.

All flavors guaranteed

It's been done to death, the evil nanny movies, they should have left it at The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992). There's nothing new here, if you don't count dozens of silly mistakes new.

You useless fucking junkie Hamstead cunt

Even if he seems like an ordinary man, he's an intellect. I reckon I haven't heard him saying anything that isn't spot on truth. Everything he says about children, animals, famine, religion, food allergies, people, Bruce Jenner, holocaust and so on, it's actually true, it's vulgar and fucking funny, but still. No topic is bulletproof in his stand-up.

Loves having company

A young woman and her somewhat older author husband with a writer's block live in a mansion under renovation where they haphazardly invite couple of strangers. Turns out the visitors are utter bastards - altho the author doesn't see it - and they are truly invading the householders' privacy. And things crazier and creepier and more surreal by the minute, ending up in full-blown chaos. Darren Aronofsky's world is stuff of nightmares. I read this has tons of biblical references, but I don't read the bible, never have and never will, so those escaped me and probably that's why I liked the movie so much.

Strenght through unity

V is a masked avenger seeking justice for what killed almost 100.000 British citizens. I've seen the movie before but rewatched it after wondering why it still gets such a good rating (currently 8,2) on IMDB. After 13 years, technical development of moving pictures and hundreds of superheroes later, V for Vendetta is still a powerful presence of its own and its message still stands.

Eye of higher spirit

Pakistan-born stand-up comedian and uber driver in Chicago falls in love with an ordinary American girl. Cultural differences ignite, but eyes open through horrible tragedy. The Big Sick is a love story with few good jokes thrown in and serious drama lurking within. Makes it better when I read afterwards that it's true story between comedians Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon.

Flesh moves like liquid

A group of scientists go to investigate a shroudlike phenomenon called 'The Shimmer' that came out of nowhere and is spreading like cancer and eats people for breakfast. Albeit too many plotholes to mention, the movie is an intriguing scifi mystery and enough thought-provoking, either if you understand the story or you don't.

While you're asleep

I have seen the remake (Quarantine) and most of the sequels of [Rec], but due to a reason or another I hadn't seen the original piece before even if I've owned the physical copy for years. Naturally it surpasses all the successors and copycats, easily. Intense, hysterical and truly scary horror. One of the few who can pull off the shaky-cam technique.

The life complete

Jouni Viirtala aka Big Jay V is a fifty year old bachelor living with his parents. He has a regular job and as Big Jay V he is a frontman of several bands playing the songs of Elvis Presley. Someone thought it was a great idea to make a documentary of him. Luckily it was short.

They cry for their mothers

This movie is packed full of great actors, but Ben Mendelsohn and James Gandolfini as lowlife scumbags definitely stand out. Based on a George V. Higgins novel (Cogan's Trade), Killing Them Softly is a hidden gem, underrated for some reason, but it's hard-hitting unsentimental neo-noir at its best.

Fucking market is a bloodbath

Bernie Madoff was one of the most honorable and succesful traders of our time until he got caught of little stealing ($65 billion). He made money of trades he made up. Every statement, shares and options were all fake. He lead a group of yuppie imbeciles (brother and two sons included) on his coat-tails and they all lived a very privileged lifestyle. And shit hit the fan, unstoppably. Robert De Niro as Bernie, and he's - simply put - brilliant.

Prison within a prison

Ok, this is far from a perfect prison movie and the lead actor Vince Vaughn, known better for his comedies, ain't possibly cut for the role as an inmate. But once you get past his talent, perhaps even notice that his stiffness is actually quite good for the character, you begin to enjoy the movie. It, after all, is a very brutal - borderline sadistic - prison thing. Perhaps too imaginative though, the story would hardly come to be in real life, but that's what the movies are for.

He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing

Can you orchestrate a normal person to commit murder? Can social pressure influence one's moral compass? Once again, Derren Brown's psychological mind game left me speechless for a minute or two, until I began to wonder what if it all was orchestrated and acted just to make a good show.

Leave it to loose cannon

A perfectly harmless easy-going drama of a father looking for his daughter with his former son-in-law. During the search they go through various places in L.A., meet new colourful people and at the same time get to know each other. It's a mellow bonding trip amplified by bar fights and little funny crazy stuff, but unfortunately that's all done better somewhere else before numerous times.

Dead men tell no tales

Jack Sparrow, pirates, redcoats (British Empire) and an army of the undead are after a trident of Poseidon that bestows total control over the seas. The umpteenth sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean and it's as entertaining and insignificant as the rest of them.

Tasty, tasty, beautiful fear

I remember shit of the first It, mini series or a TV movie, nor do I remember shit of the novel It by Stephen King - for fuck's sake, I don't even remember have I read it. Basically the newcomer is just a collection of scary bits and - with identical thematics - trying to cash in on the success of Stranger Things.

Good efficient butchery

There's a serial killer roaming about the streets of New York City killing young women. Back then in the early 80s there was approximately 10 murders committed each day in N.Y., so nothing special there. But this maniac who likes to slash young girls carries a duck-sounding voice. Lucio Fulci's perfect real-deal 80s video nasty that is no stranger to gore, sleazy sadism and erotica.
