Armageddon Time (2022)

Armageddon Time (2022) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

A deeply personal coming-of-age story about the strength of family and the generational pursuit of the American Dream.

This is definitely an over-pretentious movie. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but it’s not good either. The filming style is pure shit, every fucking scene is so dimly lit, it’s like they didn’t have electricity in the 80s.

The story progresses slowly and focuses around a spoiled brat, with shit humour and his dysfunctional family.

The kid actor makes a good job at making you despise and hate him and wish him to step on a Lego, so I guess that’s a good thing, but not even the combined strength of Anthony Hopkins, Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong can’t pull out of the water too much. Critics will love this, so I expect an Oscar nomination for no reason. Oh, and the ending is shit.

Black Adam (2022)

Black Adam (2022) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods–and imprisoned just as quickly–Black Adam is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.

Good superhero movie, great special effects, great music, some good funny moments, all in all a good watch. Story is whatever, but we don’t watch blockbusters to see the psychological development of the main characters. So four popcorns and a bolt โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Follows Wednesday Addams’ years as a student, when she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents.

From the genius mastermind behind a lot of dark movies, Tim Burton, this series puts the big daughter of the Addams family into the spotlight. It’s “Harry Potter” meets “Murder She Wrote”, meets “Stranger Things”. A fun series, filmed in Romania, with great casting, writing, and direction. The perfect series to binge in a cold winter day.

IMDb

Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket, Mantis, and Groot engage in some spirited shenanigans in an all-new original special created for Disney+.

A nice Christmas special for the fans of the series. The singing was in the beginning a bit cringe, but it eventually got better. Three popcorns and a candy cane.

1899 (2022-) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

On their journey across the vast and treacherous Atlantic Ocean, the passengers of the Kerberos encounter the biggest mystery of their lives, encountering a nightmarish riddle aboard a second ship adrift on the open sea.

From the creators of “Dark”, this drama/thriller/horror series is absolutely breath-taking. From the glitchy music (masterfully done by Ben Frost), to all the uncertain things happening, this is a masterpiece. Beautifully acted, masterfully put into scene, very well decorated with music and sound effects. This is the most expensive television show ever made in Germany, and I can say that the money was well spent here.

Even though it’s classified as horror, it’s not very scary or featuring much gore, but it has some strong disturbing scenes that will keep you with your heart in your mouth.

Oh, end every episode is ending on the sound of a classic rock song, like “White Rabbit”, “Don’t Fear The Reaper”, “All Along the Watchtower”, and others.

Seven popcorns and all I can tell is that I can’t wait to binge Season two, whenever it will get released. (Unless it gets cancelled, like Westworld did.)

Wake up!

January 2 Update

Of course the executive pricks cancelled this show after only one season, despite its high ratings and being in the top charts of watching across Netflix. I think I will move away from Netflix shows from now on.

Pepsi, Where's My Jet? (2022)

Pepsi, Where's My Jet? (2022) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

When a 20-year-old attempts to win a fighter jet in a Pepsi sweepstakes, he sets the stage for a David versus Goliath court battle for the history books.

It’s a quick and easy entertaining documentary about how marketing can easily fall into misleading advertising, how some people think outside the box and use loopholes in their advantage.

Good pacing, some (former) A-list names, a good case and a lot of corporate mafia shit, sweeping things under the rug. Five popcorns. And fuck Pepsi.

Play that again?

Aftershock: Everest and the Nepal Earthquake (2022)

Aftershock: Everest and the Nepal Earthquake (2022) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Survivors’ firsthand accounts and actual footage fuel this emotional docuseries about the deadly 2015 earthquake that shook Nepal.

This is an excellent documentary. You will get viewpoints from tourists to guides to the average citizens. It puts everything into even more perspective about how tragic the event was. And the pace of each episode is very nice. There are no rushed stories, no loud music trying to drum up emotion, just raw footage of people talking about the events and of course raw recorded footage from that day. I will say, while I don’t think I could ever afford to travel to another country, nor handle mountain climbing, this documentary made me have zero interest in ever doing it. Seeing how dangerous it is. What happened literally happened in an instant on the mountain itself. People had zero warning or time to do anything but think their lives were about to end.

Terrifying, but excellent. Five popcorns, if you can eat while your stomach is in your throat.

Asphalt Tango (1996)

Asphalt Tango (1996) Full Movie

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

A seasoned woman from the show-business world recruits 11 Romanian dancers dreaming of fame and glory to take them to Paris. One of them decides to leave her husband, but he doesn’t take it well and sets out to get her back; plenty of hilarious things happen along the way.

In the turbulent times of the 90s, when the defining factors for Romania were: spontaneous strikes, currency exchange on every street corner and everyone’s dream of becoming a boss, 11 girls who are getting more and more beautiful set off on a bus journey to the mirage life as an artist in Paris. They are accompanied by a dubious local impresario (Florin Calinescu), an unscrupulous driver (Constantin Cotimanis) and a Frenchwoman who looks at life cynically, through the perspective of the harsh world of show-biz (Charlotte Rampling). The unexpected appears in the person of the husband of one of the girls (Mircea Diaconu), who cannot accept the idea that he has been abandoned and sets off on a chase, peppered with car thefts, armed attacks and kidnappings.

This is one of the best Romanian movies, Nae Caranfil’s movie becoming a cult classic. Great pacing, great laughs, a lot of dark humour. If you liked Restul e tacere / The Rest Is Silence (2007), then you’ll love this. Six popcorns and it goes to the Movie Vault.

No trailer could be found on youtube, so I’ve added a link to the full movie. No subtitles though :(

The Defiant Ones (2017)

The Defiant Ones (2017) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

“The Defiant Ones” examines the partnership between Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre - one the son of a Brooklyn longshoreman, the other straight out of Compton - and their leading roles in a chain of transformative events in contemporary culture.

If it’s the longest Apple Beats commercial, I don’t mind. INot only is it a behind the scenes story of some of the world’s best music (from Springsteen and Petty to NWA and Eminem), it’s the story of an unlikely partnership that evolves and defines the future of the music industry. Even if you are not a fan of hip hop, this series is well worth watching with an open mind - looking towards learning about how art, technology, business and good old American ingenuity changed the world.

The soundtrack is excellent, the cameos are great, all in all it’s a very good watch over a few evenings. Five popcorns.

IMDb

From power struggles to global politics, an exploration of FIFA reveals the organization’s checkered history and what it takes to host a World Cup.

Great four-part documentary about corruption, bribes, trafficking influence, racketeering and a myriad of other illegal stuff. This is not a documentary about sport, this is a documentary about Mafia. Five popcorns.

Raymond & Ray (2022)

Raymond & Ray (2022) Trailer

IMDb

Half brothers Raymond and Ray reunite when their estranged father dies - and discover that his final wish was for them to dig his grave. Together, they process who they’ve become as men, both because of their father and in spite of him.

A good dramedy, nicely written, with good cinematography. But what steals the spotlight is the very good acting of Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke. The pacing is not very fast, and along with the dark humour and unexpected tursn, it makes for a good late evening watch. Four popcorns.

Ridiculously expensive cars, fun cars, a lot of adventure, this show is not only for the petrolheads. Six popcorns, as always.
