The serpent creation

I despised those people. Gun-toting yankee rednecks using wildlife animals such as lions and tigers merely as their pawns pursuing the American Dream. They savagely abused the animals, locked them in cages and mercilessly killed them. I didn't like anyone I saw, I hated each and everyone of the people presented in this documentary series. Savage idiots, liars, murderers, eqoistic cunts.

He looks tortured

Howard Ratner's life is fully fixed on chaos. He's shooting shady deals from left to right, money and merchandise exchanging hands. Gangstas and debt collectors everywhere. Not seen much of Adam Sandler's roles before, lots of some kind of comic shit there I presume, but he's terribly good here as a bona fide bullshitter and con artist, yet still kind of sympathetic in its own right. 

Normal is not on the horizon

The world, or at least Australia, is fucked. There's some kind of virus roaming about that turns people into zombies. Andy (Martin Freeman) is stuck in the barren lands with his wee little daughter and he's just trying to figure how to survive. A good try, a melancholic survival movie, in the vein of The Road (John Hillcoat, 2009) or Days Gone horror video game.

Paratroopers are supposed to be surrounded

Don't know how many times I've watched this. Once again, I put it into the player and had to sit it through. One of the best things ever created.

Murder is work

The year is 1922 and it's not good for farmer Wilfred James. It seems he has to murder his wife to keep their home. He has rats for company and everything he touches turns to shit. Based on a Stephen King novella and behind the horror macabre settings hides a healthy dose of dark humour.

The world is a foul sty

After watching 78/52 -documentary I felt somewhat compelled to watch an Alfred Hitchcock feature. Not Psycho because it's pretty well forged in my memory, so I randomly picked up Shadow of a Doubt (1943), apparently Hitchcock's personal favourite, but I've seen it only once or never before. Absolutely fine looking piece, classic Hitchcock, people suspect an ordinary family man might be a serial killer, the so called Merry-Widow Murderer. A nail-biting thriller.

The death of a beautiful woman

78/52: Hitchcock's Shower Scene -documentary that lasts 90 minutes is about the one particular shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). Practically nothing else. Several people including Marli Renfro (Janet Leigh's double), Elijah Wood, Bret Easton Ellis, Peter Bogdanovich, Scott Spiegel, Eli Roth, Guillermo del Toro, Jamie Lee Curtis, Neil Marshall and Karyn Kusama has their say about it and some has some interesting view and interpretations. Some others don't. To me the most interesting trivia was that the sound of the knife hitting Janet Leigh's body was generated by knifing honeydew and a steak. 78 camera setups and 52 cuts, hence the title.

Tomorrow is a long time

The Swedish hostage case in 1973 that spawned its own phrase. They dressed Noomi Rapace, Ethan Hawke and Mark Strong up with weird 70s retro costumes and they play out the script. It looks something like a farce really. There's no thrills or passion to get through a crime movie.

Three chords and the truth

Rose-Lynn wants to be a Country star in Nashville, Tennessee. Too bad she's stuck in Glasgow with an ankle bracelet monitoring her every move after serving 12 months in local prison. Also it's a bit difficult to pursue a career in music when you have two kids to take care of and work as a cleaner. A sort of from rags to riches story with a difference that the main character ain't that likeable. She narcissistic, a liar and a shit mother. Not sure you wish it all works out for her. Still, Jessie Buckley shines as the woman after her dreams.

Into the fields of revelation

Pretty early on it's obvious that the mother of the story has issues. She becomes totally obsessed with other family's daughter and you're kinda excited to wait how sick and tragic the fucking thing might escalate. Wasn't exactly nailed to my seat and suspected the oncoming twist, but it was suspenseful enough still.

Dreams of the end of the world are very common

I didn't even know this fucking thing existed. And maybe that's for the better because I didn't have the time to expect anything. And it was a rather pleasant surprise. A robot thing from the army of machines called Legion has come from the future to annihilate an ordinary Mexican girl. But luckily for the lady, she has guardian angels by her side; an enhanced human from the future and couple of legends who have fought many fights before.

Scared is good

Henry Brogan is like a super government sniper. He retires, but the government handles the retirement differently and wants him super dead. The plotholed script is an insult to intelligence. They thought it's cool shit, but it's just bullshit action. The 'catch' here Will Smith's double role and the badly photoshopped and airbrushed version of him is embarrassing. Gemini Man will probably be referred as the new low among the action thrillers.

Time travelling uncle from the future

A cop's brother and the entire family is killed in an apparent murder-suicide, but freakishly the investigator gets a call two weeks later from his deceased niece! The brother was a bipolar gun-owning pill-popping lunatic therefore instantly blamed for the deaths, but calls from the other side suggest otherwise. Lots to chew on the script, but once you let go of the thick senselessness, it's an ok a thriller.

The tricks of the cupid

Based on a popular Finnish cartoon. Cartoons hardly every translate themselves onto big screen. Fingerpori the movie merely mimicks the strips of the Fingerpori cartoon and it's unpleasant and embarrassingly unfunny slapstick.

Baby Jesus playing Mozart

Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla are developing electrical industry. Be it lightning up the country or 'humanely' executing deathrow prisoners and everything in between, it's a fierce rivalry who is the greatest provider of electrical power. Too bad great minds make a pretty lacklustre a movie.

Roadkill in hell

Season #3 of Fauda. I probably never have watched three seasons of any show on a row - and nothing else in between - before. It reveals how captivating is this shit. This one takes place in the Gaza Strip, an undercover Israeli units are after kidnapped people and it's a high-octane adventure. Greatest thing on Netflix right now.

Blinded by faith

Can't get enough of it. Season # 2 of Fauda, best shit I'm currently following. It's a show with no heroes. The Israeli undercover commandos can capture, torture and kill whoever they want with absolutely no fear of consequences and the terrorists cells of Hamas plan ways to neutralize as many people as possible. And there's ISIS who doesn't give a flying fuck of anything. Absolutely stellar shit of hatred and vengeance packed into action-packed series.
