I need to admit something – after everything I’ve heard about this movie, I was ready for one of those cheesy 80’s films that are not watchable today, where I will be bored for most of it. Boy, I was so wrong. This film has surprised me in several instances, where ultimately, I had a…

I know what you are thinking – complaining about the fact a movie titled Serendipity plays into its title a bit too much, is like complaining about Cool Hand Luke (1967) being about a cool person called Luke (what a nice name…) or about Love Actually (2003), that people actually do fall in love in…

When a Stranger Calls is one of those films, where I have unintentionally seen the remake first (When a Stranger Calls (2006)) that was… pretty average movie with a great idea. And knowing what I know, I had an inkling, that the original should be much better film, so it’s been on my ever growing…

Finally, here it is. The movie, that got 5 (yes, FIVE) release dates, finally arrived in 2020 and after everything we’ve heard about it, how there were supposed to be reshoots, but the cast got “visibly older” (the movie was shot around 2017, if I am not mistaken) so it was re-cut a bit… talk…

Discuss.) into a trilogy, that get’s progressively more boring with each new instalment. Angel Has Fallen is a mere shadow of what 6 years ago was…

Before watching Nomadland (2020), the movie, that won Chloé Zhao Oscar for Best Director and went on to get the Best Picture Oscar too, I wanted to get familiar with her other films and was lucky enough, that Mubi (this is not an ad, by the way, but if you are a cinephile, you need…

The Devil’s Own is your typical “story of two movies”. The first half is really great, because it’s full of promise, it’s almost all setup for something big to come. For a great finale, for a great “punchline” almost. And it just never comes. Or, what comes is the bare minimum you’d expect to come…?…

I could easily copy and paste most of my review for the original National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983, review here) as that would apply to most of this sequel too. And yet, there are some differences that make National Lampoon’s European Vacation slightly better movie, in my opinion. Because for me, the comedy worked slightly better, there…
