Four and a half star rating.
Before my actual review, let me say this first. I don’t usually review TV shows season by season, but halfway through season two (and now in the first half of season three), I have realised it would make sense to do this for 24. Given its nature, it’s a different “beast” in each season, albeit with…

Superstore can’t deny its roots. Created by Justin Spitzer, who wrote 11 episodes of The Office (2005 – 2013, my review here), this show came on the tail end of the “let’s put a camera into ‘normal’ workplace” comedy genre. Except here, it’s not a mockumentary, the actors actually act and don’t pretend they work there, and the camera crew…

The Predator franchise has been a disappointing one for me. Everything they came up with since the original Predator (1987) has been average at best, even though it was the same story. They had great people attached; trailers looked awesome, and then the film came out and mostly disappointed all fans. Whether it’s Predators (2010) or The Predator (2018), they are alright movies…

To write Michael Clayton is a packed film would be an understatement. This movie is complex in all its facets, from the chilling story to the movie’s characters that are anything but black and white. In fact, the film is so packed that I don’t think you can fully appreciate it on your first viewing. Sure, the…

If there is a director who seems to be on a steady “comeback trail”, it is Paul Verhoeven. One of the most influential directors of the late 80s and early 90s, whose career was put… let’s say, on hold after making one of the worst box-office bombs of all time. Yes, I am aware it developed…

There are subtle movies you can analyze and speculate about for hours on end, wondering what this or that scene means. And then, there are films like Sorry to Bother You that aren’t subtle about their message or what they are trying to say. Sure, often enough, that is negative when a film does not know the…

I am not going to lie; this film surprised me. And I will tell you why. From the far, it seems like your stereotypical “indie project that managed to win an Oscar” because it’s long, pretty to look at, and nothing much happens. All the Oscar promos I watched during The 93rd Academy Awards (2021) gave me…

It’s becoming increasingly rare to go into any movie not knowing anything about it, especially if you are interested in films. I vaguely remember some people talking about Black Bear around the time when it came out, praising the film and Aubrey Plaza. Since then, I forgot about this film until it popped up on Mubi (not an ad, even though…
