The thoracic surgeon Evgenia Belyaeva has only one month to prepare for the flight to the International Space Station, where she has to perform surgery on a crew member. Will she be up for the challenge? Can she overcome her fears and insecurities? Will she be able to perform the complicated surgery in zero gravity, and give the cosmonaut a chance to return to Earth alive?

This is a classic space-related drama. Astronaut gets fucked in space, doctor on Earth prepares some austronauts for making the surgery, eventually goes back to space. The acting is nice, the story is good, but what makes this movie a masterpiece is that parts of the movie were shot on the International Space Station, with real cosmonauts as actors, some former cosmonauts having cameo roles and the main protagonist becoming a real cosmonaut, launching to ISS with the Soyuz MS-19 mission. All in all, it’s a very good movie and despite its 2 hours and 45 minutes runtime, it is entertaining enough and it also might be one of the most expensive movies ever made, if you include the rocket and the launch. Also, because of its great cinematography and the location where it was filmed, this is a very beautiful movie to see on a huge TV. Five popcorns and it flies into the Movie Vault.

A boy, bruised by life, finds his salvation through the love of his dogs

Excellent movie by Luc Besson, thrilling enough, weird enough, with Caleb Landry Jones doing a good role on a character that is similar to DC’s Joker combined with a little bit of John Wick. All in all, a great watch, four popcorns.

A bunch of guys hang around their college for months after graduation, continuing a life much like the one before graduation.

Great comedy with dramatic elements, or very funny drama. The characters are great, the acting is also great, the dialogues are absolutely bonkers. Five popcorns and it goes into the “best movies of the 90s” box and the Movie Vault too.

Two characters: old and young; teacher and pupil; man and woman. Four walls within which they conjure intellectualism, relive the profession (journalism), explore politics and discover each other.

I love a movie with a very short cast, a lot of talking and a limited set design. They are usually about ideas and feelings rather than facts and action. It’s an abstract movie where two people discover each other. Five popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

When the elderly caretaker of a remote morgue discovers the body of a young woman killed during a protest, he embarks on a magical odyssey to give her a proper burial before the militia returns.

An excellent slow burning drama that keeps you at the edge of your seat for the entire duration. It’s sad, it’s emotional, it’s heartfelt, it’s symbolic and it brings the exaggeration of characters and the situational tragicomic to masterpiece levels. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

The staff of a Korean War field hospital use humor and high jinks to keep their sanity in the face of the horror of war.

The precursor of the phenomenon TV-series, with a great cast including Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Tom Skerritt, Robert Duvall, and introducing the wonderful Gary Burghoff as “Radar” O’Reilly. Six popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault, no doubt about it.

A policewoman (Weisz) risks her job and her own safety to uncover and bring to light a wide-scale, child sex-slave and human-trafficking scandal involving a U.S. military contractor, Democro Corp (a pseudonym for the real world DynCorp) and the United Nations in post-war Bosnia.

This movie is based on the experiences of Kathryn Bolkovac, a Nebraska cop who served as a peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia and outed the U.N. for covering up a sex trafficking scandal. It has a lot of great stars but this doesn’t make it bad at all, quite the opposite, although it gets a bit strong, which is normal for a war movie. Also, as it’s filmed mostly in Romania because of its similarity with Bosnia, it’s filled with Romanian actors. Four popcorns.

One hour of TV can change everything. But how did THAT interview come to be? Inspired by Prince Andrew’s infamous Newsnight interview comes a new film starring Gillian Anderson, Keeley Hawes, Billie Piper and Rufus Sewell.

How the BBC obtained the bombshell interview with Prince Andrew about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This movie exposes the duality of people and the cuntness of some people. Definitely a must see. Four popcorns.

In a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles brought about by nuclear decimation, citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and bandits.

Over 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse devastates America, a violent raid by bandits on an underground fallout shelter forces one of its residents to set out into a barren wasteland filled with radiation, mutated monsters, and a lawless society of those who remained on the surface. Brilliantly made, the combination of horror, shock, thriller, gore, cyberpunk and steampunk, lands just gfine, being accompanied by a brilliant soundtrack and great acting and writing. This is another good adaptation of a good game universe into TV media. And the fact that a small handful of people say it’s bad makes it even better. Seven popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.

A bartender-combiner urgently needs to pay off a debt. He persuades his brother, a fiery bouncer, to arrange a bachelor party together, without the knowledge of the owners of the club where he works.

The story is predictable, and starts from believable and slowly descends into total chaos. There are some good jokes that land properly, but that’s about it. A lot of good Romanian actors, but the script wasn’t as good as I expected. Some meta jokes were fun too, but that was about it. It was a decently funny movie, but not one that I’d see another time. Three popcorns is enough.

To be fair, the support marketing videos were better than the movie itself.

In a dystopian world, a woman spends her time playing an illegal and dangerous game, hoping to find meaning in her world.

Brilliant little dystopian movie, with a lot of cyberpunk elements, about a MMORPG game and the interactions of its players inside the game and outside of it. It’s dark, gritty, with an excellent soundtrack and good reflections about mixing reality and virtual reality. If it feels like a live-action “Ghost in the Shell”. Made in the days when games had real movies as cinematics (Red Alert 2, MechCommander), this blends properly the game and movie arts into a great movie altogether, in a movie as good as The Matrix. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.
