A documentary-like camera stuck 90% on the protagonist alone doesn't necessarily make a good film, but it increases the rawness and authenticity and saves money for the filmmakers, as it allows them to "neglect" much of the sets and scenery, which are mostly out of focus, so you can guess what's going on but not…

This animated trip into the world of Transformers takes place on the planet Cybertron, where a conspiracy is about to be uncovered, leading to a war that will force Optimus and Megatron to choose sides. Visually quite drab, the show is narratively simple and, as far as humour goes, it’s childishly annoying. But action…

It's as simple as that, Miloš Forman took the Czech New Wave with him across the sea and made his first American film in its style. In short, a kind of Audition or Peter and Pavla, but in the hippie mood of the early 1970s, which was still bubbling in American society at the time. No wonder it was a flop (and Forman,…

Slowly a new modern subgenre is starting to emerge: game night that goes wrong. After Talk to Me we have another similar film, only it's more of a mystery thriller, but it's pretty cool. It has received a lot of praise abroad, the original idea and the execution are interesting (the game with the body swapping is…

An enjoyable bloody forest survival action flick with our Scream Queen Samara Weaving. The film leaves story and dialogue aside, it's a mute spectacle (which is a bit of a shame, because the lore of that world could have been quite interesting). I was worried it would tread water, but fortunately it has a good pace,…

The filmmaking is on a much higher level than Marty Pohl's previous films and the shift is quite noticeable, especially the camera was quite calm, the shots were good and the quality of the dialogue was quite good for a film of this kind. The humour is typically boorish and I enjoyed laughing for an hour at the absurd…

Season 1: I downloaded the series based on a short video edited from the first episode and I was hooked from the start. Both the doctor theme and the brilliantly clever ideas of the main character turn a sometimes ordinary soap opera into an excellent and watchable series. The character of autistic Dr. Shaun Murphy is…

The Hunt presents itself as a classic forest chase, but (unfortunately) it's not and apart from the first 15 minutes it has nothing much to do with hunting. If the film is special in any way, it's that when you see a person as the main character at the beginning, the director mercilessly shoots them off the screen…

A future in which "upgraded" dudes murder each other online sounds like a lot of fun, led by Harry Potter with guns strapped to his hands and a freaky Samara Weaving (whom I barely recognized here), might be enough to satisfy anyone. Although I'd say I'm the target audience for this film, I had huge problems with it.…

As I don't like Czech cinema, but I gave The Owners a chance hoping that it would be one of the better films. In the end, though, it's a disaster, where jokes are repeated four times, the characters keep saying the same thing over and over again, they keep asserting their inveterate traits and dealing with topics so…
