IMDb

An elderly man and his dog struggle to survive on his government pension in Rome.

Simple, honest and devastating, De Sica’s Umberto D is one of the most moving and unsentimental portrayals of attachment, dignity and suffering ever made. Filmed in Rome entirely without professional actors the story is of retired civil servant Umberto, struggling to survive on his dwindling pension. With his only companion his loyal dog Flag, he faces eviction from his home by his tyrannical landlady who rents out his room to couples when he is away. His desperate, failed attempts to raise money lead him to contemplate suicide but he realises that he first must get rid of his dog. Seven popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

Wade Wilson is offered a place in the MCU by the TVA, but instead recruits a variant of Wolverine to save his universe from extinction.

Cameo galore, meta over the topp, super funnyy and cool, with a ton of connections to a ton of other movies and casually shattering the fourth wall repetitively. All in all it’s a great fun blockbuster, gets six popcorns as it’s one of the funnest movies of 2024.

O vară de neuitat // Un été inoubliable (1994)

O vară de neuitat // Un été inoubliable (1994)

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

Romania in the 1920s. Marie-Thérèse Von Debretsy (Dame Kristin Scott Thomas) refuses the advances of her husband’s commanding officer. As a result, the cosmopolitan family is reassigned to a dark and dangerous outpost on the frontier between Bulgaria and Romania where their relationship and humanity are severely tested.

One of the best Romanian movies, telling the tale of a Romanian soldier and how war forces him to lose either his humanity or his dignity. Excellent movie with a brilliant cast. Six popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

In The Company Of Men (1997)

In The Company Of Men (1997)

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

Two business executives–one an avowed misogynist, the other recently emotionally wounded by his love interest–set out to exact revenge on the female gender by seeking out the most innocent, uncorrupted girl they can find and ruining her life.

Starting from an evil plot, this is fun, funny, raunchy, misogynistic, politically incorrect, dark, sad, cruel and brilliant at the same time. Another great movie masterpiece by Neil LaBute, with the great acting of Aaron Eckhart, Matt Malloy and Stacy Edwards. Five popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

I Am Cuba // Soy Cuba (1964)

I Am Cuba // Soy Cuba (1964)

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

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)

Some Velvet Morning (2013)

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

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.

🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

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 he’s ignited in the other men in town, with him as the object of their desire…

Hilarious, daring and outrageously controversial, KING OF ESCAPE is a riotous French sex comedy about raising cocks in rural France. Four popcorns.

IMDb

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.

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

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.

Dinel, Sile and Pompiliu want to get rich by mining crypto but they soon manage to lose the USB stick with their digital fortune.

Sharknado 6: The Last Sharknado: It's About Time (2018)

IMDb

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.
