Dexter Riley and his friends accidentally discover a new chemical mixed with a cereal seems to give anyone temporary superhuman strength.

Six years after the first movie, Kurt Russell reprises his role as Dexter Riley, now a fully grown man playing a college in a movie that killed the series, most likely because Russell wanted to distance himself from kids’ movies and into serious stuff (which turned out pretty nice for him), but also because the movie is pretty dull. It’s funny here and there and has some nice jokes every now and then, but it’s also goofy and corny to the point of ridiculous. Two popcorns because it’s raining outside and makes this for a better watch, but if it wasn’t a part of a trilogy, I wouldn’t watch it.

A chemistry student invents a spray that makes its wearer invisible. A crook finds out about it, and plans to steal it for himself.

Second movie where Kurt Russell, now a teenager, plays Dexter Riley in another sci-fi lighthearted comedy, this time making himself invisible. Five popcorns and a strong sequel to The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969).

The Popes are a family who haven’t been able to use their real identity for years. In the late sixties, the parents set a weapons lab afire in an effort to hinder the government’s Vietnam war campaign. Ever since then, the Popes have been on the run with the authorities never far behind. Their survival is threatened when their eldest son falls in love with a girl, and announces his wish to live his life on his own terms.

Good coming-of-age movie, putting a teenager from a family that’s running away from the authorities in a classic teenager situation. The story unfolds nicely, each character has its well-defined role and is played very well. It all makes sense once you realize that this movie is directed by the great Sidney Lumet (Serpico, 12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon, Murder on the Orient Express), and the end result is absolutely marvellous. Probably one of his best movies, and definitely one of the best performances from Judd Hirsch, the scene where he gets drunk and breaks out is absolutely masterful. Five popcorns for this masterpiece and it goes into the Movie Vault.

At Medfield College, an accident with a donated computer gives Dexter Riley the ability to remember any knowledge learned instantly and perfectly.

One of the movies set in Medfield College (where the original Flubber movies are set too), this puts up a teenage Kurt Russell into a nice fun retro-futuristic comedy. Mixing cyberpunk culture with artificial intelligence and bionics, it’s a nice little flick. Of course it’s dated, it’s made before we even set up foot on the Moon, but it’s still a nice retrospective of what people in the 60s thought the future could be like. Four popcorns.

In 1991, a melting glacier revealed the body of a man. At first, people assumed he was a hiker. But then scientists discovered that he’d been dead for over five thousand years. This is his story, the story of the stone age mummy known as Ötzi…

The Ötztal Alps, more than 5300 years ago. A Neolithic clan has settled near a creek. It is their leader Kelab’s responsibility to be the keeper of the group’s holy shrine Tineka. While Kelab is hunting, the settlement is attacked.

You know the saying “a tale as old as time”? Well, this is that tale.

The movie is a very interesting one. It’s brutal, raw, deeply realistic, just like us Europeans know how to make. It’s a beautiful insight into a world that existed five thousand years ago. This is not John Wick, it’s the story of a man who’s set for revenge and who has nothing else to lose. Beautifully made, written, filmed and acted, it opens a gateway into the past and it captures your attention for an hour and a half, while being a cinematic and visual treat. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Your soul became free.

PS: And if you don’t know about Ötzi, make sure to check the Wikipedia page.

Three young provincial women come to Moscow in search of what people in all the capitals of the world are looking for - love, happiness and prosperity. Their destinies develop exactly as the character of each of the girls suggests.

An epic movie spanning its story over twenty years, about life, love and finding the right path in life. It’s marked as a comedy, but it has some sad moments as well, just as life does, and it’s somewhat a reminder of a time when life was simpler. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault as possibly one of the best Soviet movies ever made.

A man settles down in a small town and becomes the scoutmaster.

A good piece of old-school Americana, about the life of Lem, played by Fred McMurray, and his tenureship as a scoutmaster in a small mid-western town. A young Kurt Russell does a great job playing Whitey, and the entire movie is a great nostalgic look back at what America used to be, including the great representation of hateful Ralph Hastings. Six popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault

Marlon Brando pulls idealistic Los Angeles architect Bernard Judge from his ordinary life and persuades him to design the world’s first ecologically perfect retreat on a tiny, inhospitable Tahitian island.

This is not the Brando piopic you’ve been looking for. It’s a light drama with comedic elements that will keep you entertained for almost two hours. Billy Zane does a good job playing Marlon Brando, and the story is a good one, so this movie ie perfect for a rainy afternoon. Four popcorns.

An alienated and misanthropic teenager gains sudden and unwanted celebrity status after he’s taken hostage by terrorists where his indifference to their threats to kill him makes news headlines.

Great dark comedy satirizing the mass-media and search for fame culture. This is definitely a cult movie, and if you haven’t seen it by now, put it at the top of your watchlist. Reese Witherspoon does a good role, but Stephen Dorff nails it as Cliff Spab. Six popcorns and goes to the Movie Vault.
