The third movie of the “Amici Miei” trilogy takes place a few years after the second one. The four friends are older, but still up to some shenanigans.

While some jokes are pretty funny, and the Supercazzola is not to be missed, over all the movie is only a shadow of the first two. But this is not a comedy, this is a drama about old people with some jokes spread here and there. It barely gets four popcorns, but falls short of the movie vault. Maybe I’ll archive it just to have the trilogy in one place.

The sequel of Amici Miei is just as bonkers, funny and straight up insane. It’s almost as good as the first one, the Supercazzola returns, and it gets 5 popcorns and goes to the vault.

Brilliant Italian comedy, crazy, unpredictable. I’m not (yet) that much into Italian cinema, so I don’t know who these actors are and who wrote the movie, but it’s bonkers. So good that it spawned two sequels (reviews coming soon) and this goes straight to the Vault.

Six popcorns, especially for the Supercazzola

– Eh? Antani, come se fosse Antani, anche per il direttore, la supercazzola con scappellamento!
– Come?
– A destra, per due!

Breathless is a very good movie, it’s not only considered a classic, and many (1, 2, 3) consider it a stepping stone on the road to modern cinema.

Belmondo does an excellent job at being annoying, Jean Seberg does a great work of playing the infatuated innaïve, the timing is great, the jump cuts are innovative and the dialog is very memorable at various points.

All in all, a cinema classic and an enjoyable watch.

Since we were talking about Buster Keaton, this was a good opportunity to re-watch “The General”, one of the comedy classics. Not much is needed to say about this movie either, except for 6 popcorns, a little train, and that it goes to the vault as well. 🚂

PS: You can find this one for free on Youtube

It’s a Buster Keaton movie, no need for words. Literally, as this silent movie reminds us that comedy can be simple, yet super effective. Laughed my ass off, the stunts were amazing, the music was brilliant. 6 popcorns, and it goes to the vault.

Something something Cortana, something something Master Chief. If you played the game, you’ll like the show. If you’re new to the Halo universe, you’ll love it.

Pew pew.

The year is 2022, so following its successful reboot, it’s time for another episode of Assassin’s Creed: Origins! Oh wait, this is Death on the Nile and it’s a movie, despite the heavy-using CGI of the Nile landscape and over-saturated colour palette.

The movie is quite catchy, employing a great cast, employing a ton of A-listers, like Wonder Woman, that girl from Black Panther/Mirror, the redhead wife of Jon Snow, and undercover Ali G. Oh wait, someone just whispered that’s actually Russell Brand, one of Sasha Baron Cohen’s personas. Whatever.

The movie itself is actually good, a decent watch for a Sunday evening with a bowl of popcorn and some Egyptian coffee, or tea. Dunno what they brew between the pyramids. The CGI is nice, the way-too-bright colours are okey and the story is twisty and engaging enough, just as with any Poirot movie, with the long panning line-ups and the fact that everyone feels like the killer at some point. The movie is interesting enough, but the ending disappoints. Three popcorns and a waste of good actors.

Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of the office, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.

Great cast, small minimalist and sterile setting, excellent directing by Ben Stiller, excellent acting by the entire cast (with great accolades for John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, and many other A-listers). And the music is spot on.

I’ve only seen the first two episodes, but it’s definitely got a firm grip on me and might be the best show of the year. It has a great dystopia feeling, with an impending doom feeling. It reminds me a bit of the British Utopia TV series, but with more white and less neon colours.

A musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel “Notre-Dame de Paris” which follows the gypsy dancer Esmeralda and the three men who vie for her love: the kind hunchback Quasimodo, the twisted priest Frollo, and the unfaithful soldier…

The boys are back with a new Jackass movie. It doesn’t click the same way the old ones did, I’m not sure if it is because I got older or they got older, but some of the gags were meh. However, they still had a few good ones, the kind where you spit your coffee good. I loved the throwbacks to some old gags.

In other news, Knoxville has white hair, Pontius looks like a hobo, Wee-man is old, Preston is mostly decorative (they have a new, young, fat guy to do his gags), Dave England looks like a grandma, Bam didn’t make it into the movie, Steve-O is doing great but hasn’t lost his craziness.

They have some new young fellas with them, some new blood to be used and abused. While they’re good cannon meat, I don’t think they have the charisma and pizzazz to have a show of their own.

All in all, it’s nice to see some new trauma-inducing Jackass, and I think the guys still have it, but they’re slowly getting out of good ideas. Still worth a watch. Four popcorns and a hard hat ⛑️

Good drama about the story of teenager Richard Wershe Jr., who became an undercover informant for the FBI during the 1980s, at age 14.

The pacing is good, the acting is very good, Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughghgeyghegheyghey leading nicely this movie along with rookie Richie Merritt.
