If I hadn't seen the original, it probably would be four stars, but as it is, it's a pretty useless remake for Yanks only. The first hour is pretty boring, then James MCavoy kicks off his typical psychopathic mannerisms and it's decent. The ending is more action packed than the original, so at least there's a bit of a…

The theme is excellent and incredibly rich, and the dialogues are like a fairy tale. Hopkins as Freud is outstanding and precise, but the real surprise is Liv Lisa Fries as his daughter, who already excellently represents the German-speaking culture. Matthew Goode, however, is somewhat overshadowed by his colleagues.…

An important theme is lost in a film that, in the first two-thirds, functions as a very decent, stylish, and ironic B-movie, but unfortunately transforms in the final act into a sequel to The Toxic Avenger. Demi Moore is in Oscar-worthy form and has always known how to work with her physicality, which is nothing new …

Is it a sect, dripping carbide, or just the locals struggling with the sudden warmth? It’s charming in its ability to keep a person in uncertainty, even by how superficially it addresses mythology; it’s apt in its idea that prejudices and fear are feelings that can be wonderfully exploited, and it has a satisfying…

Dear viewer, it sounds strange, but sometimes even delusions and lies can positively influence fate. The bowl with Tomei's affectation weighs less than the one with her charm; Downey, as can be gleaned from the kissing scenes, at that time her boyfriend, is searching for acting style and charisma, while Don Juan de…

I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, there's the filthiness, straightforwardness, and appropriately corrupt crime man Dorff. I liked the moment when Henry crossed the "point of no return" similar to Llewelyn Moss in No Country for Old Men, and with his decision, which was certainly not inevitable, he…

The characters are unrealistically sincere and full of strange reactions (like how long it takes for them to identify a death notice), likely just to make the humor even more explosive in its cynicism. It wasn’t. It needed more everyday situations, such as the plum scene with Tatiana.

Pretending to have a stroke, the desire to do something, and acting in a caper story that, amid the unmistakable tones of Mark Isham, forces the viewer to disconnect their logic checkpoint and doesn’t aim to surprise in any way. For some, it may be a surprise that the most vibrant character of all is seventy-five-year…

A rich white man is a pig. Episode 47: Pussy Island. It resembles an impressively shot reality show, where Fresh Menu serves up Peele's theme Diarrhea! However, the form isn't strong enough to make one forget the shaky content, in which the attributes of rape & revenge choke the patriarchal lifeblood. Am I…

Aside from the situation where the ticking of the explosive device timer is supplemented by the march of the SS regiment, there is only the conflict of "higher principles" between the characters of Richard Burton and Marcello Mastroianni, which provides dramatic tension. When the machinery gets going and begins to…
