IMDb

Arlen is abandoned in a Texas wasteland that is fenced off from civilization. While trying to navigate the unforgiving landscape, Arlen is captured by a savage band of cannibals led by the mysterious Miami Man. With her life on the line, she makes her way to The Dream. As she adjusts to life in the bad batch, Arlen discovers that being good or bad mostly depends on who’s standing next to you.

If you like gorey grim dystopian movies like “The Purge” or “Saw”, then this is the one for you. It’s like the writer took “Saw” and “Mad Max” and bashed them together until they made this baby.

It gets as bloody, visceral and cannibalistic as its R rating will allow, with a pretty hard to watch setup scene. If you can stomach that, then you’re in for a treat. Good cinematography, good acting, impressive from a technical point of view, as everything is shot on location. Don’t try to make much sense of the story, this is a movie meant to keep you tense and raise adrenaline levels. Which it does pretty well. Loved the great appearances of Jim Carrey and Keanu Reeves, but Jason Momoa’s and Suki Waterhouse’s acting is top notch too.

Four popcorns, but remember it’s not one to see with the kids ;)

Luckiest Girl Alive (2022)

Luckiest Girl Alive (2022) Trailer

IMDb

A sharp-tongued New Yorker appears to have it all: a sought-after position at a glossy magazine, a killer wardrobe, and a dream Nantucket wedding on the horizon. But when the director of a crime documentary invites her to tell her side of the shocking incident that took place when she was a teenager at the prestigious Brentley School, Ani is forced to confront a dark truth that threatens to unravel her meticulously crafted life.

A slowly unfolding layered story that mixes pop and mystery. Feels like “Scooby-Doo” meets “13 Reasons Why” meets “Sex and the City”, and not in a very good way. The writing is ok, the movie tries to tell a decent story, but chases around itself so much that it looks that it misses the mark. I love Mila Kunis, and her performance is not bad, but wasn’t enough to make me care too much about her or any of the other overly pretentious entitled rich people around her. However, the performance of Chiara Aurelia was great, really turned this thing over.

Three popcorns, because it’s okey for a lazy day.

IMDb

Unlucky assassin Ladybug (Brad Pitt) is determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs has gone off the rails. Fate has other plans, however: Ladybug’s latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe–all with connected, yet conflicting, objectives–on the world’s fastest train. The end of the line is just the beginning in this non-stop thrill-ride through modern-day Japan.

Fast paced action packed blockbuster flick. There’s not much to say about acting, as this is a pew pew movie. The effects are nice, the cinematography is great (apparently all japan is neon pink) and the stories intertwine and interact in a nice way. Think of a 21-st century “Snatch”. The cast is great, there are many fun scenes, and the cameos are over the top and fun.

Five popcorns.

The Good Nurse (2022)

The Good Nurse (2022) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

An overburdened ICU nurse leans on her selfless new colleague at work and at home โ€” until a patient’s unexpected death casts him in a suspicious light.

Suspicious that her colleague is responsible for a series of mysterious patient deaths, a nurse risks her own life to uncover the truth in this gripping thriller based on true events. Directed by Tobias Lindholm.

I’m not a big fan of slow burn movies, but this is captivating. The droning soundtrack, the everlasting feeling of pressure and anxiety. The performance by the two main actors, Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne is absolutely stellar, Eddie feels like a modern-age Al Pacino.

Based on a true story DON’T CLICK THE LINK, MAJOR SPOILERS INSIDE, it highlights corruption in the US medical system, as long with the willingness of medical “corporations” to sweep deaths under the rug to avoid bad publicity and profit losses.

The Playlist (2022)

The Playlist (2022) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Led by Daniel Ek, a group of passionate young entrepreneurs come together in what seems to be the impossible task to change the music industry - and the world. They set out to create a legal streaming service for music.

This series tells the story of the early days of Spotify as seen through the eyes of some of the most important persons that started and helped the launch of the company.

While the first 5 episodes are pretty well done and told, the last episode is off and falls flat. However, the series itself is well done, the music is great and the acting is well done.

Moreover, the cinematography is brilliant, I loved the surrealism of the hallway in “The Lawyer” episode, or the Matrix-like colour-grading of “The Coder”.

The last episode, “The Artist”, shows Spotify from the side of the underpaid and struggling artist. While it’s based on reality, it’s a lot of agenda pushing and political correctness.

IMDb

A heroin addict incarcerated for a robbery escapes prison and reinvents himself as a doctor in the slums of Bombay; his ties to the crime underworld there lead him to Afghanistan, where he partners with a mob boss locked in a battle with Russian criminals.

Good TV show from Apple tv+, locations are excellent, cinematography is great, and the music is very good. Charlie Hunnam does a great role. Five episodes are out so far and it’s a binge-worthy show.

The Watcher (2022) Trailer

IMDb

A married couple moving into their dream home are threatened by terrifying letters from a stalker, signed - “The Watcher.”

Based on the real-life case, beginning in 2014, of the Broaddus family, who were spied on, threatened, and ultimately driven to sell their home & leave the town they loved, by a mysterious stalker who identified themselves only as “The Watcher” in the letters sent to Mr & Mrs Broaddus.

This is a pretty well made suspense mini-series. The critics bombed it, which means it’s actually good. It grabs your attention in the first few minutes and it will make you binge it. Could this have been better? Maybe. Is it good enough to worth watching it? Well, it’s got Naomi Watts and Stifler’s mom in it, so definitely.

Cunk on Shakespeare (2016)

Cunk on Shakespeare (2016) Trailer

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

The character from Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe (2013) presents a mockumentary about William Shakespeare, talking us through his life and works in her own unique style.

Philomena Cunk takes a look at Shakespeare, exploring why his writing is so popular to this day, and looks at the variety of his work.

A wonderful combination, the writing skills of Charlie Brooker, the talent of Diane Morgan, and the iconic figure of William Shakespeare.

It’s the originality that I enjoy so much, I can’t think of any other character who’s quite like Philomena, Morgan is so good, so natural, so very funny. It’s the absurdity that’s so good. Six popcorns.

IMDb

Philomena Cunk (from Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe) knows absolutely nothing about anything, but that won’t stop her attempting to present a ground-breaking documentary about it. Philomena always asking the questions no one dares to pose. The greatest journalist ever.

Tells the story of our greatest inventions such as the wheel, the Mona Lisa and nuclear power. Along the way, she will ask experts hard-hitting questions about humanityโ€™s progress, as well as standing near impressive old ruins, or inside museums.

Following the great format of Cunk on Britain, Philomena goes to travel the world, giving great information about the history of the Earth.

This is just as dumb as its predecessor, it’s even funnier, and it has a shitload of locations filmed. Six popcorns.

Colognian commissioner Gereon Rath moves to Berlin, the epicenter of political and social changes in the Golden Twenties.

This is a wonderful TV series, the atmosphere is great, the locations are superb, the casting and music are excellently done. The story, while a bit of a slow burn, unfolds very nice.

Six popcorns and it definitely goes to the Movie Vault when it’s finished.

IMDb

This three-part documentary series from director Joe Berlinger explores the warped mind of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer through newly-unearthed recorded interviews with his legal team, revealing the ways that race, sexuality, class and policing allowed him to prey upon Milwaukeeโ€™s marginalized communities.

After the great series about Jeffrey Dahmer, there’s another good Netflix documentary about a serial killer. Four popcorns.
