Le Mans (1971)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
Two car racing champions, an American and a German, face off on the world’s hardest endurance course: Le Mans in France.
Can a movie about cars be a musical? Sure it can! Starring the great Steve McQueen, it’s a proper racing movie, about cars, about racing. None of the love mumbo-jumbo, none of the filler content you get in modern movies. Definitely a classic that is hard to topple. Seven popcorns without a doubt and races towards the Movie Vault.

Double Dragon (1994)
🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
Two brothers have half of a powerful ancient Chinese talisman. An evil gang leader has the other half, and determines to get the brothers’ half and have a complete medallion so he can gain absolute power.
Based on the game that also gave us one of the coolest cartoon series of the 90s, this movie is absolute shit. It’s coming from a weird time where studios would be bringing big names (Robert Patrick, Mark Dacascos, Scott Wolf) into a series of movies based on successful franchises from other media (remember Street Fighter with JCVD and Raoul Julia? Or the Mortal Kombat movies of the 90s?). Objectively, it’s a bad movie, but a cult classic nevertheless. I’m surprised I didn’t know about it until now, considering Alyssa Milano is starring as well. Four popcorns.

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin (2024)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
Mats Steen, a Norwegian gamer, died of a degenerative muscular disease at the age of 25. His parents mourned what they thought had been a lonely and isolated life, when they started receiving messages from online friends around the world.
This is a hard movie to watch, it’s sad and it hits close to home, being a WoW player. A sad, but somehow uplifting story, that tells us that friendships and human relationships transcede the physical world. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Legion (2017-2019)
🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
David Haller is a troubled young man diagnosed as schizophrenic, but after a strange encounter he discovers special powers that will change his life forever.
Set in the X-Men shared universe, it’s got some kid of mutants, weird technology. It’s trippy, weird, cinematic and pretty hard to watch sometimes. It does get pretty weird sometimes and this is both its doing and undoing. It’s a good show, but don’t expect action galore, as it’s pretty slow burning and a cinematic experience. Four popcorns.

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
When Enola Holmes, Sherlock’s sister, discovers her mother is missing, she endeavors to find her, becoming a super-sleuth in her own right as she outwits her famous brother and unravels a dangerous conspiracy.
Oh, what a great little movie! Breaking the fourth wall with such a casual vibee draws you into the story and makes this movie such a fun one. Lovely acting all along and while not a masterpiece, it’s one of the few movies of the latest years that really lifts up your mood. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

Lions for Lambs (2007)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
Injuries sustained by two Army rangers behind enemy lines in Afghanistan set off a sequence of events involving a congressman, a journalist and a professor.
Proper movie about politics and its effects on people, mass media and journalists. It’s bleak, it’s going to make you sad, and looking at what we know now about the US military invasion of Afghanistan, shows how out of reach with humanity the politicians are. Great performances by some great actors. Five popcorns.

Guy Ritchie's the Covenant (2023)
🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
During the war in Afghanistan, a local interpreter risks his own life to carry an injured sergeant across miles of grueling terrain.
I love most of Guy Ritchie’s movies. If you do the same, then this is not for you. The pacing is good and the tension is there, but this is a war movie, not a Guy Ritchie movie. Jake Gyllenghahahghenaghaal is pretty decent, but that’s where it ends for me. The first act is fine, the second one seems to drag endlessly in the desert and it made me lose my interest. I skimmed a bit through it and after the middle it get again a bit interesting, but still falls just as flat as the US campaign’s defeat in Afghanistan. If you like war movies like Argo, The Hurt Locker and Jarhead, this movie is for you. If you want to see it because you liked Sherlock Holmes, Lock, Stock or Sherlock Holmes, then just go re-watch Snatch. Two popcorns.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
The British military recruits a small group of highly skilled soldiers to strike against German forces behind enemy lines during World War II.
Based on a true war story, this is a fun movie with a great cast, telling a story that was classified until a few years ago. Five popcorns and is a great Guy Ritchie classic.

Morometii 3 (2024)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
The story of Niculae, Moromete’s youngest son, who in the 1950s becomes an acclaimed young writer who lives his life and complicated love stories in a charged atmosphere tainted by suspicion.
An excellent ending to a trilogy based on one of the most popular novels in Romania. Written and Directed by Stere Gulea (the director of the previous two movies) and based on the original works of Marin Preda, it’s an absolute cinematic masterpiece, with nods not only to the ohter two Morometii movies, but also with subtle hints towards other famous works (the book burning was a good scene). All in all, six popcorns for a great movie and I know for sure I’m going to rewatch the first two.
