Another golden egg flying through space

Yeah ok, you lose your wife at a gas station, suspect foulplay, someone's kidnapped her, contact the police, help the investigation any which way you can, but don't act all imbecile and go gung-ho on the case. These are cool movies, but only if there's some proper logic involved. Like George Sluizer's Spoorloos (1988) or its remake The Vanishing (1993) (also by George Sluizer) or Jonathan Mostow's Breakdown (1997). 

We are not alone

Two French explorers (Vincent Munier and Sylvain Tesson) are desperate to find, witness and photograph a rarely met and endangered snow leopard in the high-altitude Tibetan plateau. It makes a wonderful documentary film, incredible wild life photography shot in two three-week stay in Eastern Tibet. Warren Ellis and Nick Cave's music accompany the journey all the way through.

The cloud shadows of midnight

A devout Christian man treats his visitors the way he treats his family. Like shit. He's a religious nutcase, as dangerous to the society as his religion. We Still Say Grace, by Brad Helmink and John Rasuchelbach, is a cheapo B movie, but it's still somewhat a creepy little horror flick of people going haywire and all stupid. A solid story too.

You die alone

There's a Stasi agent with a conscience! A scientist Franz Walter is promised a professorship at the university, but it includes working for the GDR's foreign intelligence service. German espionage thriller Nachschuss (The Last Execution) is as good as they come and, yet again, Lars Eidinger proves his talent.

When you are starving, you'll do anything

Just undisputed and unconditional wow. Not done the summary yet, but probably the best movie of the year. By a landslide, I imagine. Four buddies cheerfully enter the World War I and pretty fucking quickly find the deadliness and distress of warfare. Based on Erich Maria Remarque's landmark novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928). Directed by Edward Berger.

Your kind is headed for extinction

Hardly nothing wrong with it. But maybe this blockbuster is for the big screens only. Sure as shit it loses lots of its magic and omnipotence while transformed into home screen. Decent flick though. After 30 years, Maverick (Tom Cruise) is still the top-notch wild child of aviation.

Hell-bent on getting even

I guess if you throw out common sense outta window as soon as you enter into the realm of Vendetta (by Jared Cohn), you are alright. If you don't, you cringe with embarrassment. Who writes these? Kindergarden children on their lunch break? The greatest heavyweight boxer of all time, Mike Tyson, was easily the best thing in the movie.

The mist that sleeps on a waveless desert

Better than they said it was. These two people find a chunk of gold somewhere and protect it no matter what. And that was about the only thing that was properly explained in the damn movie. Everything else was left in some kind of hazy blur and for the viewer to figure it out. A decent survival movie though. 

Climbing heaven and gazing on the earth

Hands down brilliant. Just the way thrillers should be. Packed full of suspense, action and excitement in this cat-and-mouse chase-thriller. And the cast is just thunderously cool with people like Gene Hackman, Anne Archer, James Sikking, Nigel Bennett, M. Emmet Walsh and J.T. Walsh. One of my all time favourite movies this one.

It's always darkest just before eternal nothingness

Brutal. Dinosaurs are among us. They are globally spread. Most of them are predators, so the fuckers are dangerous and cause egological disaster. But it works the other way as well. Humans capture them, lock them in cages, for pharmaceutical or other use. And that's animal cruelty and just plain wrong. In Jurassic World: Dominion (by Colin Trevorrow) they brought the old geezers Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum. And they all rusty. The movie, a disappointment anyways.

Something wicked this way comes

Calling it stupid doesn't cut it. No, this Marvel piece of shit is beyond stupid. The saddest thing is that it tries to be funny and all the jokes are firing blanks. The aliens of the story - Venom and Carnage - are lame cunts. Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson portraying as their sidekicks were better off and happier doing something else.

Discovering the origin of evil

Zombie movies are cool. Even if they are nonsense, they are alright. The city of Raccoon is infested with these fuckers and a group of police are petrified. A pharmaceutical enterprise Umbrella Corporation has unleashed something truly magnificently evil. An adaptation from the Resident Evil game.
