My history with the James Bond franchise is a weird one. I am a 90s child, so “my” Bond was Pierce Brosnan. To this day, GoldenEye (1995) is my favourite Bond film because that also happens to be the very first Bond movie I have ever seen. When I realised I love movies and started my journey to…

It is becoming rare to see a TV show that was clearly planned, with a care for details, characters and most importantly, clearly set beginning and end. I had my doubts about Gravity Falls as the first season was great, don’t get me wrong, but it was more focused on the comedy element than the story/mystery. But…

You don’t put on a movie titled Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and expect anything remotely resembling a masterpiece; let’s get that straight. At least that’s what I did one evening, when I wanted some “mindless” fun, and I remembered seeing trailers for this film and thinking it looked ridiculous enough to be entertaining. So I stumbled upon…

As with many films, I had little to no knowledge about it going in. I’ve just seen Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones on the poster, and I was sold immediately. And after the first ten minutes or so, I thought to myself: “Oh, it’s one of those ‘old people not having sex anymore’ movies, isn’t it?” I won’t…

If you are familiar with Seth MacFarlane‘s style of humour (mainly Family Guy (1999 – ?)) and you like it, then Ted is for you. I remember watching it when it came out and being almost surprised how the movie is more story-driven rather than joke-driven, which is something I’ve come to expect from him. While re-watching it a few…

I don’t know what was more disturbing – watching this movie, or knowing that it’s is based on reality. Compliance is one of those movies, that you watch and it stays with you for a while. It’s a brilliant example of how simple movie can be. You don’t need CGI, multiple locations, extra big budget,…

Stuck in Love. (why is there a dot in the title?) could be subtitled “or how to shoot a Hollywood romance, that tries to touch on difficult topics, but doesn’t have the balls to commit”. But I understand, that wouldn’t fit on the posters, and these long sub-titles aka Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned…

Let me be clear, did I have massive expectations that this movie, based on a board game, will actually be great? No. Did I expect to be this average? Also no. And that is the main issue with Battleship. This could have been a dumb, fun movie. Instead, it’s a long movie, that is just…
