Mafia wants to kill a witness whose been transported to Switzerland. They send a police officer there to protect and escort her back to Phoenix. Love and Bullets includes a few iconic movie stars, namely Charles Bronson as the cop, Henry Silva as the cold-blooded assassin of the organized crime and Rod Steiger as the mob boss. Sadly, a pretty forgettable movie otherwise.

Respect the spirits
Six friends hold a seance via Zoom during COVID-19 lockdown, but things go fairly shitty really fast. Makes a terribly cool scary picture. The runtime clocking somewhere in sixty minutes is perfectly enough. Host (by Rob Savage) wastes no time in its paranormal horror.
Whispers in the pandemonium
Finnish commando and gold digger Aatami Korpi eats Nazis and Ruskies for breakfast. He's a one-man death squad. A German officer Bruno is a resilient little fucker hunting him and the purest of Lapland gold Aatami is carrying. However, good men are hard to kill as they just refuse to die. Sisu is a revenge flick like no other. A spectacular feast set in WWII northern Finland. Funny as fuck as well. And such a mad ride of a movie that I watched it twice in couple of days.
Rage turned inwards
Steve Buscemi's character - Anthony Soprano's paroled cousin Tony Blundetto - is a major figure in The Sopranos season # 5. Likewise Andriana (Drea de Matteo) who gets deeper with the Feds. There's also an alarming power struggle between the New Jersey and New York crime families. Still one of the greatest shows ever made, damn near perfect.

When the sky makes no sound
The Association is a badass institution of organized crime. It's an international crime syndicate dedicated to extortion, smuggling and murder. In Amsterdam, they kidnap a wee children Angie. Luckily Angie's family has ties to ex-military people, like a giant of a man Matteo (Rico Verhoeven). Black Lotus is a B movie fair and square, a barely watchable fucker, reminiscences of the Steven Seagal movies of the yesteryear.

Flicker in the water
Beach houses are nice. But not the ones that are by the sea infested with an alien life form that generates some kind of mysterious fog when the twilight sets in. People have to get out of there fast. Surprisingly tedious horror with only couple of deliciously nasty scenes.
Songs from the nameless road
The guy just wants to fix his piano. Then sell it. And fuck off to Europe. Anywhere safe from the ISIS fuckers in Syria. He embarks on a dangerous quest across the country to find keys to his beloved instrument. Quite harrowing and exciting, but only quite.

Knockin' on eternal flame
In the aftermath of a little murder, a bagful of suspects emerge and a one good cop (Benicio Del Toro) is caught in the crossfire. A solid crime movie. Not an amazing thing, but after a slow-moving start, the last 30 minutes were rewarding at least.

The price of giving orders
Alright but a bit annoying. A homeless gay man joins the army. At first the place is a Full Metal Jacket type purgatory, but once the initial shock and prejudices are thrown outta window, they all are good fucking Marine buddies at an amusement park. Inspired by a true story.
