Aussie teenager Amy believes her next door neighbor is a notorious serial killer called The Clockwork Killer. Of course, no one believes her. Especially her mom who dates the fucking guy! Amy is obsessed proving she's right. Girl at the Windows's excitement stops there because the script goes absolutely haywire the rest of the movie.

Flying together into the forever
On
the brink of superhero movies running their time out, Guardians of the
Galaxy Vol.3, by James Gunn, proves there’s some hope left. The stars
are a group of well-created misfits doing their best to save the
universe from space tyrants trying to take control of everything. It’s
fun, exciting and wholly adventurous.
Eternity in the making
In a year when all sports came to a standstill, Liverpool FC finally saw their team lift the Premier League trophy that had eluded them for 30 years. The End of the Storm celebrates one of sport's most historic triumphs and the team lead by one of the most iconic sport characters, a true special one Jürgen Klopp. His time in the club is something the fans, me included, reminiscence with utmost pride and pleasure.

Couldn't get laid in a morgue
An '85 comedy by John Hughes. The laughs are a little outdated as we speak and it hasn't really stood the test of time otherwise either, but it was kind of entertaining back then. Two college teenagers build a woman of their dreams by computer and the product, named Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), makes the small town crazy.

A sticking plaster for life's weirdos
Donny Dunn, an aspiring stand-up comedian, works in a pub in London. One day he offers a cup of tea to Martha, a customer. She, a psychopath by trade, becomes a pain in the ass, stalking poor Donny and harassing him online. Stars aren't aligned for him. Years earlier, he ended up in drug-induced relationship with a TV writer who sexually molested him. Baby Reindeer is so weird and disturbing that it can't be but a true story, no one can make this shit up. The most outspoken self-portrait on screen.

The summer funeral
Keke Soikkeli's Tuomion Saari should be shown at every film school for educational purposes, so the future film makers would learn what to avoid at their projects. This Finnish "horror" movie is beyond shit.
The sea gives and the sea takes
I had to swallow Avatar: the Way of the Water (by James Cameron) in small appropriate doses, in max 60 minutes bites. Otherwise I couldn't have made it. Not only it's long (192 minutes), but the animated characters have so little to give. Them lifeless buggers are endlessly boring. Thankfully, the movie looks nice, like a standard contemporary video game, just too bad you are left out playing it and marvel someone else's handiwork instead.

New gallows, new rope
Jeff
Webster drives a cattle herd. From Wyoming to Seattle, and through the
mountains to Dawson. And in the wake of the Klondike Gold Rush, proceeds
into a new adventure while locking horns with a crooked lawman. The Far
Country is a decent 1954 western directed by Anthony Mann and starring
James Stewart.

Work hard and play hard
Seems
like David Beckham is a genuinely nice bloke. You certainly don't have to
appreciate the football teams he's played with, but he's alright, the lad. Humble even. He however was the biggest football star of his time.
Make a copy of a copy of a copy
The
general stupidity of the characters is something else, but that’s how
it goes oftentimes. Barbarian started out great, it was exciting and
could have paved way for an excellent horror film. But they ran out of
everything, ideas in particular.
Very harsh and unpleasant kind of business
The grandson of a famous gunslinger and cattle thief Jacob McCandles aka. Big Jake has been kidnapped for a ransom of $1 million dollars, so he sets out to rescue the boy. Decent western although its comic moments are shit.
More relaxed, poised, musical and open
According
to a theory, by Norwegian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, author and
professor Finn Skårderud, a man is born with too little alcohol in the
blood (0.05% in fact). Four Danish teachers are encouraged by the study so much that they try it out,
consume alcohol until they reach and maintain the appropriate level of
inebriation, and the results seem positive. Teaching that once was
boring seems so cool and innovative now. But the project can also have
consequences. Thomas Vinterberg’s Another Round is genuinely funny,
beautiful and heart-warming masterpiece.

No one appreciates subtlety
Eli Roth's Thanksgiving has innovative (and quite funny) ways of death and dying, but otherwise is meaningless and clichéd crap. A stupid slasher movie that tried to be something like Scream and Halloween combined, but lacks everything from character development to actual suspense and thrills.

Road to truth has many turns
A German terrorist Simon (Jeremy Irons) is in New York City and he plans to rob the Federal Reserve Building. John McClane (Bruce Willis) and a Harlem store owner Zeus (Samuel L. Jackson) race all over the city trying to figure out the puzzles that the terrorist gives them. John McTiernan's Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) could just well be the best piece of the Die Hard franchise.
