Never hide who you are

What an amazing directorial debut by Anna Kendrick. Based on the crimes of Rodney Alcala, a serial killer and sex offender, conclusively linked to nine murders, but the true number of victims remains unknown and could be as high as 130. The oppressive atmosphere of the film sends chills down your spine. And the slow narration deepens it even more. A frightening thing.

A thousand dead sirens

Just when you think movies can't get any worse something like The Good Neighbor comes along. An American journalist in Latvia drinks and drives and kills a girl. A good neighbor comes to rescue to cover the crime and everyone acts like nothing really happened. Mistakes and absurdities everywhere.

Confusing ambition with morality

Embarrassingly bad. A worn out story where an older succesful woman cheats on her husband with a boy at least twice her age and fulfills some of her fantasies. It's uncomfortable to watch, not only because the nonexistent sexual thrills, but also because the stars of the show Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson are talentless mannequins all of a sudden.

Echoes amidst the ruins

Seven years in the life of Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler. A harrowing look into the mental landscape of soulless and barbaric people. The film deals mostly with things that happened behind the iron curtain. Still, some of the authentic footage, in particular, was uncomfortable to watch. 

The rain is groovy

Close to brilliant inconvential police story by William Friedkin. All the characters are unsympathetic to the bone. Dirty, immoral and self-centered bastards really. To Live and Die in L.A. is a vintage crime thriller where nothing goes as it should. An underrated gem.

Luck is not a strategy

Alien species killed 95% of human population. The rest 5% figured out that if you go 2438 meters (8000 feet) above sea level you are fine. The unbreakable monsters can't handle that high an altitude. The mountain forests provide food, some people are creative enough to make bullets and booze. But making medicines is a different issue, so the brave have to look for them them in the monster territories. Maybe gather usuful information of these vile creatures while at it. Essentially stupid and ridiculously flawed little film in A Quiet Place and Bird Box ballbark, but fairly interesting and entertaining. Funny popcorn suspense.

A country without a language is only half a nation

Across the globe an ingenious language dies every 40 days. Reminding us of this is Kneecap's the most important message. The comedy-drama movie otherwise is hopelessly average. The film depicts the rise of Kneecap, an Irish hip-hop trio from Belfast and they are rapping in their native Irish. There's also drugs and anti-social shit involved.

Phantom bones bite back

A quick memory refresher because they are producing follow-up seasons as we speak. An alien on a mission to destroy humanity crash-lands on Patience, Colorado. And it's damn wicked fun.

Dark nights of peril, loss and heartache

Probably the greatest war movie ever made. An absolute masterpiece. A group of soldiers who went through hell in Normandy in WWII are asked to locate Private Ryan and bring him home safely. This powerful and at times harrowingly brutal film is directed by Steven Spielberg. Starring Tom Hanks, Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Matt Damon ja Jeremy Davies.

The faithless other side

Mysterious snowfall kills people. Thus begins quite an adventure where survivors battle an alien threat. El Eternauta (The Eternaut), created by Bruno Stagnaro, is an Argentine television series based on the comic by Héctor Gérman Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López. Despite the excitement and horror, the show is incredibly beautiful to watch, one of the greatest apocalyptic little thingies.
