Never-before-heard audio from the interrogation of serial killer Ted Bundy threads through this chilling look at his 1970s murder spree.

Another good Netflix documentary about a serial killer, this time about the charm of some serial killers AND police inability to react properly. Four popcorns.

After the collapse of Earth’s ecosystem, Vesper, a 13-year-old girl struggling to survive with her Father, must use her wits, strength and bio-hacking abilities to fight for the future.

This is a slow burning sci-fi set in a dystopian future, showing the sad and ugly part of a cyberpunk/steampunk universe. A harsh, bleak look at the world progress left behind. It’s somehow Elysium, but without all the action scenes and without Matt Damon.

It’s violent, it’s harsh, it’s gloomy to the point of depression, but it feels realistic. Four popcorns

Oh, Vesper, you don’t know the cost of dreams.

Abandoned by her family, Kya Clark, otherwise known to the townspeople of Barkley Cove as the Marsh Girl, is mysterious and wild. “Where the Crawdads Sing” is a coming-of-age story of a young girl raised by the marshlands of the south in the 1950s. When the town hotshot is found dead, and inexplicably linked to Kya, the Marsh Girl is the prime suspect in his murder case.

It’s a well written movie, the acting is pretty good and it adds up to good drama. The story is layered very nice and kept me hooked until the end. Also, the main movie’s song, Carolina, written and performed by Taylor Swift is a nice gem. Four popcorns.

A man’s story of leaving New York in 1967 to bring beer to his childhood buddies in the Army while they are fighting in Vietnam.

A movie about discovering what war really means. Every fucking pro-war person should see this and understand the horrors and destruction war is.

A+ for the soundtrack, the cinematography and the acting. Five popcorns.

When young Daria enters rehab, her perceived innocence gains her the protection of the mostly male junkies inside, but she soon finds out that this special treatment comes at a great price.

Because it’s a Romanian movie, of course it’s going to have some weird dumb shit in it, so there’s no musical score, just a lot of ASMR chocolate eating, stuff clanking and footsteps, gasping and breathing.

While I expected it to be a boring slow burn, there’s enough dialogue, action and character interaction to make this feel captivating in the first part. The acting is decent, the story is okey-ish, but it fades out in the second half. Also the plot holes are immense, and any open ended question is left to the viewers’ appreciation. Oh, and the ending is partially told over the credits by a scene in a club.

I’m not going to say too much about the uninspired pillarbox aspect ratio of the movie, or about the fact that Romania sends to Oscars in 2023 a movie released in 2021. This is a bad movie, with some wasted talent (especially lead actress, Ana Dumitrașcu)

Two popcorns.

The 10-episodes limited series about Jeffrey Dahmer (watch out, spoilers inside!) is properly done. The pacing is good, the acting is excellent (Evan Peters is fantastic!), the music is great.

It’s sick, it’s twisted, it’s fucked up, just as the story of Jeffrey Dahmer was. It doesn’t only focus on the life and motives of the serial killer, but also on the lives that he directly and indirectly impacted. It’s a sad and brutal reminder of the life we’re living in, with troubled persons, social inequality, incompetent authorities and persons that should help, but sweep things under the rug.

This is one of the best miniseries produced by Netflix. I’m going to give this five popcorns.

Thor the man meets Thor the woman, who’s actually the love of his life. And they do stuff, and the movie is colourful, a lot of action, jokes and pew pew. Story is whatever, I don’t watch these for special stories, but the movie is really fun to watch.

Five popcorns. This ends here and now!

This is one of the best TV Series out there at the moment and, besides the great story of life under a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship, features one of the best cinematography and music in the last few years. It’s a big competition between this and “Mr. Robot”, and I think it looks very very great.

Season 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale started to roll out on September 14th. Only two episodes were released, the following coming over the next weeks. These episodes are absolutely excellent, from both a technical and an artistic point of view.

This season seems to be as good as the other, so I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds.

Six popcorns and it goes into the Vault.

Jeremy, Richard, and James head to the Scandinavian Arctic Circle. Driving their favorite rally cars, the boys embark on a catastrophe-filled adventure, taking in Cold War submarine bases, frozen lake racetracks, and ski resort chaos.

This is what you’d expect from the trio: three legendary cars, an insanely beautiful location, a ton of shenanigans, and a lot of fun road tripping.

Six popcorns and it goes into the Vault.

After the LOTR and The Hobbit prequel, the Tolkien universe is going even further behind, telling the story of Galadriel, retconned from chick-turned warrior into straight up Xena Warrior Princess.

While the cinematography looks nice and the orcs look decent, the characters are pretty boring, the casting is mostly a miss, the actors are bland, flat, and soul-less. I couldn’t empathize with Galadriel, Elrond got downgraded from Hugo Weaving to discount Neil Patrick Harris, and the hobbits are annoying as fuck, so annoying that they can be used as advertising for condoms. And they have dark-skin elves, dwarves and hobbits, but not in main roles, duh. They’re just there to tick the diversity boxes. Everything else is just filler. Watching the first two episodes, it mostly feels like a fantasy-themed soap opera.

While the original Peter Jackson trilogy became a classic because of its great outdoors, casting, acting, music, writing, directing, none of these are successfully done in the tv show with almost the longest name in history.

None of the original magic feeling is captured in this series. This show will either change a lot, or won’t get past season one. Because it is what it is: another money-grab failure from a big company in hope for huge profits. I wonder if the actors had to pee in bottles and do 16-hours shooting days.

Oh, and if you see a bazillion articles like “7 Reasons to Ignore the negative reviews for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “Amazon’s putting a three-day pause on reviews for The Rings of Power” it means that the marketing department is working heavy on damage control.

Two popcorns and the title for “most expensive flop”.

Update: Third episode is out. The show really looks amazing, but the story is all over the place, you don’t know what’s flashback, what’s dream, and what is present time. It’s decent to watch if you don’t have anything else to see.

No, it’s not about the Green Arrow. It’s got spies, guns, action, a shit ton of raunchy jokes and beautifully made animations. It’s one of the funniest animations, and it’s thirteenth season is just as good as the others.

Sterling Archer is the world’s most daunting spy. He works for ISIS, a spy agency run by his mother. In between dealing with his boss and his co-workers - one of whom is his ex-girlfriend - Archer manages to annoy or seduce everyone that crosses his path. His antics are only excusable because at the end of the day, he still somehow always manages to thwart whatever crises was threatening mankind.

If you haven’t seen this so far, start with the first season. It’s one of the best comedies and one of the best spy series out there. Six stars and it’s one of the few TV series I have in the Movie Vault.
