Gushing Over Magical Girls has been the talk of the town this season, splitting the anime community into two distinct camps. On one side, you have those who find the series repulsive — its overt explicitness combined with the young age of most of the girls here leaves a sour taste, harvesting more contempt than praise…

One of the better parts this series of found footage anthologies under the V/H/S label so far. This time around, none of the stories stand out in terms of quality, either up or down. Which is fine, it consistently held my interest at a level of moderate satisfaction. Screenwriting-wise, they don't attempt anything…

A repeated joke is not a joke, one might say. Compared to the first part, it logically lacks the hallmark of originality and the resulting surprise. On the other hand, it was nice to see that this sequel develops the original themes, and the social-critical overlay is about something a little different than last time …

An original sci-fi mindfuck (it’s not horror) that apparently shocks regular Netflix users in a way that demands viewer attention. Nicely conceived and paced, though it's really quite difficult to read the subtitles at that speed and take in what's going on, who's who at what moment, and what the implications are.…

An enjoyable action B-movie, a bit of a variation on John Wick only in a lighter and crazier form and with my favourite actors. Dave Bautista and Sofia Boutella are great, Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror are very good and, even though theirs is rather a cameo, they are among the best. The action is nicely bloody, the…

An excellent, breathtaking, atmospherically dense and chilling series from Apple TV, I loved it! The son of a prominent attorney is accused of the cold-blooded murder of a classmate in an park, starting up an intense ride of revelations, twists and turns, newly minted evidence on both sides, and internal psychological…

Florian David Fitz is an interesting man who completely missed my taste in 100 Things, hit it exactly in The Perfect Secret, and now he has missed me again. A comedy where I literally didn't laugh once during 45 minutes, with a story that is silly with tons of logical holes. It's clear from the start that the film is…

An above-average German thriller, reminiscent of Saw in its scenes and classic Nordic detective films in its setting, with Christian Alvart expertly combining both elements. A pathologist finds a note in a corpse's head about his daughter's kidnapping and gradually follows clues that lead him through corpses to the…

The title is a bit misleading, because it has nothing to do with “Les Misérables” except the setting and the final quote. In fact, the plot cannot even be described. Perhaps it's just that it's about an ordinary day in a French ghetto that leads to an unexpected conclusion and shocks with one scene after another…

A huge amount of interesting information presented in such a brilliant way that I can't believe it myself. Exactly the type of documentary that was missing. Each episode deals with one type of drug and it will probably have the same template every time. The effects of the drug, the mode of action, production,…
