Moro returns to Alma Ata to collect money owed to him. While waiting out an unexpected delay, he visits his former girlfriend Dina, and discovers she has become a morphine addict. He decides to help her kick the habit and to fight the local drug mafia responsible for her condition. But Moro finds a deadly opponent in “the doctor,” the mafia kingpin who is exploiting Dina.

You take a bit of “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”, you add a bit of “Trainspotting”, you set them in the 80s, you mix in some Communist regime, the great presence, acting and music of Viktor Tsoi and you get one of the best Russian movies out there. Six popcorns and a must watch masterpiece. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

John Wick uncovers a path to defeating The High Table. But before he can earn his freedom, Wick must face off against a new enemy with powerful alliances across the globe and forces that turn old friends into foes.

What do you get when you give Keanu Reeves an unlimited supply of ammunition? Almost 3 hours of pew pew. While the moviee has good cinematography, I think there’s too much shooting in it. Anyway, it gets three popcorns because Hiroyuki Sanada is in it.

An American-led team of International astronauts leave their space station on the first mission to Mars, but the captain’s religious beliefs may get in the way.

Good space fiction movie set into a close future. It’s nice how it got some of the things the future way off while some are very close to reality, but it’s amazing, keep in mind this is made in 1955. Judging by 2023 standards, it’s not an impressive movie, but it’s a good visionary sci-fi. Four popcorns.

Set your gyros for Mars.

Three scientists help an Alien feline, stranded on Earth, to repair its damaged spacecraft in order to return home but their efforts are hampered by inept army officials and foreign spies.

It’s a fun family movie and it’s lovely to see into action the commanders from M*A*S*H, McLean Stevenson (Henry) and Harry Morgan (Colonel Potter). Five popcorns.

The European Space Exploration Council sends two astronauts to explore a planet similar to the Earth but located on the opposite side of the sun.

Excellent movie, with a ton of retro-futurism porn. The story is nice, even if a bit predictable, but it’s a solid movie, featuring The Outer Limits vibes mixed with Star Trek: TOS. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

Baltimore. New Year’s Eve. A talented but troubled police officer (Shailene Woodley) is recruited by the FBI’s chief investigator (Ben Mendelsohn) to help profile and track down a disturbed individual terrorizing the city.

Shailene Woodley (The Fault in Our Stars, Divergent) and Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Dark Knight Rises) come from two completely different backgrounds and form a great crime solving team trying to find a serial killer. The movie is well written, the tension is well-paced and the acting is good. Four popcorns.

A beacon draws them to the edge of space and time, but once they arrive at the long-lost ship, the crew of the Palomino discovers a mysterious scientist and that things aren’t always as they seem. Explore deep space in this 1979 Disney sci-fi classic, The Black Hole.

With a budget similar to and success far from Star Wars, this still manages to be a good movie, back in the days when Disney used to do creative and original stuff, It has a great soundtrack, excellent set design, great graphics, good writing and performances, Maximilian Schell (Judgment at Nuremberg) and Anthony Perkins (Psycho) not wasting their potentials. The robots are nicely designed and really fun characters. I know it’s fiction and stuff, but the creators of this movie never heard of the concept “hull integrity”. While the movie isn’t perceived as a masterpiece of some sort, it’s a good space movie, a last hurrah of the 70s age, before the 80s kicked in. Solid four popcorns.

A man named Zac Hobson awakens to find himself alone in the world. In a desperate attempt to search for others, he finds only two who have their own agenda.

It’s mysterious and at times even creepy, and offers a nice insight into what would someone do when they find themselves alone in the world. As I’ve seen a few years ago “The Last Man On Earth”, I know know where that show stole its best parts from. It’s about loneliness, human connections and how people feel. While being the first science-fiction film ever produced in New Zealand, it’s a great movie, gets five popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

A dark force threatens Alpha, a vast metropolis and home to species from a thousand planets. Special operatives Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.

It has a huge budget, a ton of A-listers and the critics hate it. So this means it’s a pretty damn good movie. Don’t expect it to be a life changing odyssey, it’s an eye candy movie, with good effects, good casting, and good writing. And considering it’s directed by Luc Besson, try to think of it like a “20-years later” version of The 5th Element. Six stars and goes into the Movie Vault.

The story of The Super Mario Bros. on their journey through the Mushroom Kingdom.

Usually video games very rarely transpose well to movie format, be it cinema or TV. However, it’s a him, Mario!, and really takes the cake. The visuals are stunning, the pacing is fast and doesn’t let you get bored, the music is fantastic, with great throwbacks to nostalgia. A great movie for all kids for all ages, who smashed box office records, so it will definitely see some sequels. Seven popcorns and jumps into the movie vault. MAMMA MIA!
