I Am Cuba // Soy Cuba (1964)
Four vignettes about the lives of the Cuban people set during the pre-revolutionary era.
This is a really beautiful movie. It does have some not-so-subtle hints of propaganda, showing caricatured examples of capitalism, which are actually not far away from the truth. It kinda failed at that since Cubans saw it as stereotypical and Russians saw it as not politically revolutionary enough. Apart of that, it’s a beautifully made movie and it shows many of the aspects of the life in Cuba showing capitalism in its most pure form, the increasing gap between the rich and the poor, the injustice towards the latter, pushing the masses towards the communism which made possible the revolution led by the Castro. Six popcorns for a movie that is maybe one of the best of the sixties and goes into the Movie Vault.

Some Velvet Morning (2013)
A man surprises his former mistress by claiming to have left his wife. However, before long, a dark history between the two comes into focus.
I really love this style. Twe persons, one limited space, in this case a house, and nothing else but talking it out. It’s and emotional rollercoaster with an interesting ending, Neil LaBute doing a great job in writing and directing this masterpiece, and Alice Eve and Stanley Tucci have great chemistry together. Six popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

The King of Escape // Le roi de l'รฉvasion (2009)
Armand, a man who sells farm machines in the country, is a popular middle-aged homosexual. Just as he was getting sick of life, he falls in love with a young girl called, Curlie, and goes on the run from her parents and the police.
A film about aphrodisiacs and forbidden love from Alain Guiraudie, the Cannes Award Winning director of STRANGER BY THE LAKE.
Armand is a gay tractor salesman and not the sharpest tool in the shed. When he rescues Curly, the daughter of his greatest rival, the two embark on a mad chase through the forest pursued by a very angry father with a gun. Totally unknown to Armand, however, is the bizarre sexual frenzy heโs ignited in the other men in town, with him as the object of their desireโฆ
Hilarious, daring and outrageously controversial, KING OF ESCAPE is a riotous French sex comedy about raising cocks in rural France. Four popcorns.

Sex-Positive (2024)
Virginia tumbles into a wild and thrilling new world of sexual liberation when she moves in with a group of polyamorous party animals, including the charming but commitment-phobic Jake.
It’s raunchy, it’s filled with nudity and sex, it’s so bad it’s very good! Amazing movies like this are made in 2024 and while it’s not a masterpiece, it makes you laugh for an hour and a half and that’s all that matters. Four popcorns.

Taking Woodstock (2009)
A man working at his parents’ motel in the Catskills inadvertently sets in motion the generation-defining concert in the summer of 1969.
Fun biographic movie about how Woodstock came to be. Directed by Ang Lee (Life of Pi, Brokeback Mountain, Sense and Sensibility), it brings together a brilliant cast with names that aren’t very big, but very very good, ingluding among others Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Comedian in Watchmen), Eugene Levy (The Dad in American Pie) and Emile Hirsch (Alexander Supertram from Into The Wild), Liev Schreiber, Paul Dano maxing rose-tinted glasses, drugs, corporateism and music in an excellent movie. Six popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.

Nurse Betty (2000)
A small town, Kansas housewife-waitress who suffers a nervous breakdown after witnessing her husband’s torture murder, and starts obsessively pursuing her favorite television soap opera character, while in a fugue state. Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock play the hitmen who killed her husband and subsequently pursue her to Los Angeles.
It’s absurd, intriguing, uncomfortable, awkward, yet satisfying. A really nice comedy that will keep you entertained from start to finish. Four popcorns.

Inca Doua Lozuri // Another Lottery Ticket (2023)
Dinel, Sile and Pompiliu want to get rich by mining crypto but they soon manage to lose the USB stick with their digital fortune.
Decent Romanian comedy good to fill a very hot Saturday afternoon. Four popcorns because it shows unfiltered Romania in some points.

Sharknado 6: The Last Sharknado: It's About Time (2018)
Fin has to go back in time to rejoin his shark-battling friends to stop the first Sharknado and save humanity.
The world’s biggest disaster gets to the end of the road. More bonkers, more over the top, extremely badly done, extremely fun. All in all, three popcorn and OH WHAT A RIDE THIS THING WAS!
PS: This one is filmed in Romania, lol.

Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (2017)
With much of America lying in ruins, the rest of the world braces for a global sharknado, and Fin and his family must travel around the world to stop them.
Same things, different movie. It’s tacky, it’s over the top, it’s bonkers. Cant get any better than this (and most likely it won’t). Bonkers. Three popcorns.

Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens (2016)
Fin, his family and the cosmos have been blissfully sharknado-free in the five years since the most recent attack, but now sharks and tornadoes are being whipped up in unexpected ways and places.
Bigger, bolder, scarier, with more sharks and more cameos than ever, combining Las Vegas, Pirates of the Carribean, The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars and … sharks! Three popcorns and I can’t get enough of how this bonkers is.
Also “boulderstorm”, “oilnado”, “firenado”, “cownado?” lol and I think every person that slightly leaned to the left out of their position in all the movies got killed by a shark randomly passing by.

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015)
A monstrous tornado unleashes ravenous sharks from Washington, D.C., all the way down to Orlando, Florida.
Third time’s the charm! Just kidding, it’s just as bad as the others and it’s brilliant. Just like its predecessor, it takes things one million steps further and it becomes more bonkers. With each installment, I think this is utter crap, but can’t stop watching them because they are so bonkers. Three popcorns.
Sharknadooooo!

Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)
Fin and April are on their way to New York City, until a category seven hurricane spawns heavy rain, storm surges, and deadly Sharknadoes.
Suffering from PTSD after the first movie, Fin (Ian Ziering) is now engaged to his ex-wife and they go New York where they encounter a storm, which of course is filled with sharks. It’s also having a lot of references to classic movies like the Twilight Zone (the “There’s something on the wing!” scene is bonkers), as well as “Lost” and even a fucking Wil Wheaton cameo (who thankfully is eaten by a shark) and even the classic trope of “random guy with no experience” is landing a broken plane in a huge storm. All in all, it’s the same shark madness but now taken to the next level where it’s simply raining sharks. More funny cameos, Billy Ray Cyrus, Andy Dick, Kelly Osbourne, Judd Hirsch (as a Taxi Driver, heh). More sharks! More chainsaws! It’s again so bad it’s brilliant and it gets three popcorns, because it’s still a fun(ny) movie to watch while doing something else.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Run away from the sharknado
It’s your greatest foe, foe, foe
Don’t wanna get eaten by a sharknado
