James May embarks on a remarkable journey across Japan, from its icy north to its balmy south. He’ll see the sights, meet the locals, and eat the noodles in a bid to truly understand the Land of the Rising Sun.

Excellent entertaining documentary sending Top Gear’s James May to experience the life, habits, culture and people of Japan. It’s fun at and well done, with great shots and good writing, it got me hooked instantly.

In a ruined and toxic future, thousands live in a giant silo deep underground. After its sheriff breaks a cardinal rule and residents die mysteriously, engineer Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) starts to uncover shocking secrets and the truth about the silo.

I’ve only seen three episodes so far and I can say I’m hooked. It’s a good version of the “underground bunker story”, of a post apocalyptic civilization featuring social layers, lore and myths, reminding me a bit of “Snowpiercer”. Let’s hope it won’t get axed before its time.

Regardless, the sets are nicely done, the CGI the same, there’s a slow burning tension growing as the story develops, being propelled by great music, decent writing and good performances. All in all, gets five popcorns and it’s definitely worth watching.

Lavsh live action fairy tale adaptation featuring the handsome son of a nobleman who embarks on a series of colorful adventures to become a hero.

A docile family man slowly reveals his true character after his house gets burgled by two petty thieves, which, coincidentally, leads him into a bloody war with a Russian crime boss.

This is John Wick, but with cheaper effects, casting and writing. All in all it’s a decent movie to watch with friends, three popcorns.

Out of enthusiasm, a Militia soldier abandons his platoon and decides to fight for the cause of the Revolution. His Lieutenant and the rest of the crew look for him during the confused night of 22-23 December 1989.

A good movie about the events of the bloodiest night in the Romanian revolution, showing the tragedy, the loss and confusion of some people involved in the events of those days.

Ilie (late 30s) enjoys the easy life of a village policeman. His passivity during a series of violent events soon turns him into an accomplice to murder. Tension accumulates in the village, forcing Ilie to make a final decision.

Comedy about life and death in a Romanian village in Botosani county. Like most Romanian movies, it sticks very close to real daily life, the acting is good, and the tension is actually nice. All in all, four popcorns.

Want me to call back up? Who? Bruce Willis?

MMA fighter Cole Young seeks out Earth’s greatest champions in order to stand against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe.

It’s what you’d expect from a Mortal Kombat movie, cheesy lines, raunchy jokes, unrealistic fighting coreographies, a lot of gore and a gratuity of violence. What makes this movie legendary is the perfect execution of the role of Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion by Hiroyuki Sanada. All in all, a very good, fun and violent movie for the entire family to enjoy! Six popcorns.

GET OVER HERE!

Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne are dragged into the Quantum Realm, along with Hope’s parents and Scott’s daughter Cassie. Together they must find a way to escape, but what secrets is Hope’s mother hiding? And who is the mysterious Kang?

Paul Rudd is cool, Evangeline Lilly is barely there, Kirk Michael Douglas is still alive, Michelle Pfeiffer is 80 but looks 35. The story, the action, the pew pew is a mess, everything is quantum! Also the diversity department had a field day with this movie, they even cast a broccoli! Also they drink the ooze of a creature that has no holes (how do they take the ooze out?)

All in all a fun pew pew if you want to turn off your brain.

Also, the story seems a shit ton of Jailer and WoW Shadowlands vibes

• ✅ evil cast out by someone into jail
• ✅ evil turns jail around and makes an empire
• ✅ evil is actually good, but for a higher purpose
• ✅ if you kill me, you can’t stop what’s to come

Secluded from the world, in XIX century rural Romania, a widow and mother of three must defend what’s left of her family, at all costs, from an old family friend turned foe. Based on one of the best-known Romanian folk tales (The Goat and Her Three Kids by Ion Creanga), this film aims to unveil the true nature of the famed bedtime story and to treat the audience to a different perspective, one that offers a glimpse of what the tragedy looks like beyond the happy songs and affable characters.

Nice twist on the old folk tale, with a small cast, few locations, great creepy music and good acting as always by Maia Morgenstern. The Wolf is very well played by master of villains Marius Bodochi.

A tale of sadness and revenge in a solid thriller, unexpected from Romania. Four popcorns.

A government researcher, sent to research the “menace” of wolves in the north, learns about the true beneficial and positive nature of the species.

The story told by Farley Mowat about his encounters with wolves, one that managed to change the view of the entire world on wolves. The scenery is insanely good, the story is great, the acting is perfect. The movie is filled with symbols, the music is absolutely great and it makes for an excellent movie. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

The Rangers come face-to-face with a familiar threat from the past. In the midst of a global crisis, they are called on once again to be the heroes the world needs.

It’s silly, over the top, has crappy fight scenes, corny humor, this is the Power Rangers we’ve all grown with and that we love. Filled with appearances of Rangers from all the series. I loved the way they gave a warrior’s death to Trini, and paid a beautiful homage to Thuy Trang and Jason David Frank. If you’re a fan of the shows, especially the original, then this is a great nostalgia kick.

It’s a 3 popcorn movie, a 5 if you grew up with Power Rangers, but it gets 6 popcorns because the movie theme still gives me goosebumps.

Once a Ranger, always a Ranger.

The story of how one of the world’s most popular video games found its way to players around the globe. Businessman Henk Rogers and Tetris inventor Alexei Pajitnov join forces in the USSR, risking it all to bring Tetris to the masses.

An enterprising game developer risks everything in a race to outmaneuver duplicitous insiders to negotiate a deal with Soviet Union bureaucrats for the international licensing rights to what would eventually become one of the most recognizable and widely played games in history.

This is a very Hollywood take on the story of Alexei Pajitnov and Henk Rogers, the most important people in making Tetris an internationally popular game. Based on real events, the script is decent. I like Taron Egerton, and he did a good performance portraying Henk Rogers, but all performances are great. The pacing is good, the music is very good, and all in all it makes for a good movie. Four popcorns.

Good ideas have no borders
