The story of Niculae, Moromete’s youngest son, who in the 1950s becomes an acclaimed young writer who lives his life and complicated love stories in a charged atmosphere tainted by suspicion.

An excellent ending to a trilogy based on one of the most popular novels in Romania. Written and Directed by Stere Gulea (the director of the previous two movies) and based on the original works of Marin Preda, it’s an absolute cinematic masterpiece, with nods not only to the ohter two Morometii movies, but also with subtle hints towards other famous works (the book burning was a good scene). All in all, six popcorns for a great movie and I know for sure I’m going to rewatch the first two.

An insanely good movie with more than 30 top pilots appearing into it along some legendary actors in a good story about racing and racers and their lives. Seven popcorns and races to the Movie Vault.

On a farm in rural Northern Ireland, estranged brothers Turlough (Seamus O’Hara) and Lorcan (James Martin) are forced to reunite following the untimely death of their mother (Michelle Fairley). But when the pair discover an unfulfilled bucket list belonging to their late mum, their pained reunion takes an altogether different course.

Excellent wee movie! It’s short, only 23 minutes long, but it’s so packed with emotion swinging from sad to happy to blue to “whoa”. Definitely one of the best shorts and it goes into the wee Vault of Short Movies I have collected.

Bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss is transformed into a manic superhero when he wears a mysterious mask.

One of the most creative and funniest comedies out there that solidified Jim Carrey’s carrer as a comedy genius. I love seeing this every year, I should get it on LaserDisc. Until then, it jumps into the Movie Vault.

20 years since their first adventure, Lloyd and Harry go on a road trip to find Harry’s newly discovered daughter, who was given up for adoption.

Some sequels are brilliant (Terminator 2, The Dark Knight, Silence of the Lambs), this one is not it. It tries to rehash the original jokes and humor and lands short. Two popcorns and you can skip this

After a woman leaves a briefcase at the airport terminal, a dumb limo driver and his dumber friend set out on a hilarious cross-country road trip to Aspen to return it.

This is the pinnacle of slapstick comedy, one of the movie that made Jim Carrey a world-known superstard (along with The Mask and Ace Ventura, also released in ‘94). The movie is fun, raunchy and it would get cancelled into outer space if it was released in 2024, and it’s always a great rewatch. Seven popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.

A loose remake of 12 Angry Men, set in a Russian school. 12 jurors are struggling to decide the fate of a Chechen teenager who allegedly killed his Russian stepfather who took the teenager to live with him in Moscow during the Chechen War in which teenager lost his parents. The jurors: a racist taxi-driver, a suspicious doctor, a vacillating TV producer, a Holocaust survivor, a flamboyant musician, a cemetery manager, and others represent the fragmented society of modern day Russia.

The story is not new, it has the same setup of “12 Angry Men”. However, Russian cinema master Nikita Mikhalkov, who wrote and directed this masterpiece, and also acts in it along some of the best Russian actors, did a great job at adapting the story to the Russian life and reality. Five popcorns.

“Fargo” season five has gone out in a blaze of guns, debt, and conversations about sin. The fifth installment of Noah Hawley’s crime anthology follows Dot Lyon (Juno Temple), a housewife suddenly targeted by a ruthless sheriff from a neighboring county.

After a different season four, the fifth one comes back to the Fargo classic setup where apparently normal people get put into overcomplicated situations. Solid performances across the board plus great writing make this Season one not to miss. Six popcorns.

The fourth season of Fargo chronicles the legacy of American Gangs, while also highlighting white supremacy and capitalism’s role in that legacy

Bit different from the other seasons, didn’t feel like a Fargo at all until close to the end when some things start to fall into place. Regardless, a solid performance from Chris Rock as a mobster boss, which was both odd and fresh to see. Six popcorns.

This season follows the lives of a couple, Ray Stussy (Ewan McGregor) and Nikki Swango (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who, after unsuccessfully trying to rob Ray’s wealthy older brother Emmit (also played by McGregor), become involved in a double murder case. One of the victims is an old man with a mysterious past whose stepdaughter, Gloria Burgle (Carrie Coon), is a policewoman. Meanwhile, Emmit tries to cut his ties with a shady organization he borrowed money from a year before, but the company, represented by V. M. Varga (David Thewlis) has other plans.

The third season brings a bleak and dark story which is acted perfectly by Ewan McGregor and the others and it’s close to a masterpiece. Definitely seven popcorns as well.

This season is a prequel to the events in its first season. In season two of Fargo, it takes place in March 1979. It is about the lives of a young couple—Peggy (Dunst) and Ed Blumquist (Plemons) as they try to cover up the hit and run and homicide of Rye Gerhardt. Ray is part of the Gerhardt crime family.

During this time, Minnesota state trooper Lou Solverson (Wilson), and Rock County sheriff Hank Larsson (Danson), investigate three homicides linked to Rye.

The second season brings a new story in the same space and connected to the previous one through Lou Solverson. The writing is just as good, it has its gore moments as well as its funny moments. I love Nick Offerman playing a crazy, but crazy good lawyer, and I also loved the personal empowerment speeches from Kirsten Dunst where she has aspiration and dreams of being an actualized woman, ignoring the reality that the fucking Mafia is out to get them.

Easy seven popcorns for a second season that didn’t disappoint.

On the brink of revolution in 1989 Romania, six lives intersect amid protests and personal struggles, leading to the explosive fall of Ceausescu and the communist regime.

Excellent dark comedy/drama about the life of some people during the last days of the communist regime. It’s pretty much one of the best Romanian movies of the last years. Six popcorns and it jumps into the movie vault.
