A documentary about Stanisław Latałło, main actor in “Illumination” by Krzysztof Zanussi (1972). He wanted to be a director, he first worked as a director of photography with Tadeusz Konwicki on “So far, so close”, then became a cult figure when “Illumination” won the Golden Leopard at the Locarno film festival. He then accompanied the Polish Himalaya Expedition to Mount Lhotse in 1974, as a cameraman, and died there. He was 29. This film is a very personal reflection about his fate, with the participation of family and friends, well-known figures of Polish Cinema such as Agnieszka Holland, Krzysztof Zanussi, Tadeusz Konwicki, told in the first person perspective by the director of this film, his son Marcin Latałło.

After watching “The Illumination”, and learning about the tragic fate of the main actor, Stanisław Latałło, I also learned about this short documentary (26 minutes) made by his son, Marcin Latałło. Five popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault, not only because it’s good, but also because I found only one result of it online, and has 300 views, so if it’s gone, it’s lost forever.

Tabloid life of a physicist; his work, his love life and his quest for the meaning beyond.

This is not a typical movie. It has no set storyline, it just follows the life of protagonist Franciszek over the span of a few years. We get to know the main character on his journey towards knowledge, sharing his life experiences, hardships and joys. I loved the performance of the protagonist, Stanisław Latałło, which literally makes the entire movie a masterpiece. Unfortunately he passed away in December 1974, while being as a cameraman of the Polish Himalayan expedition. This movie gets 6 popcorns and gets into the Movie Vault.

During the ’90s, a new faction of Transformers - the Maximals - join the Autobots as allies in the battle for Earth.

We get new transformers, more diversity because why not, some action, good effects, no famous actors and feels very long, even though it’s 2 hours and 7 minutes. I really liked the franchise, but th people that made this movie didn’t understand that the success of the first movies were caused by Megan Fox’s tail. Three popcorns, and deserves a slap for the name of the “Optimus Primal” monkey character.

Against the backdrop of a war between humans and robots with artificial intelligence, a former soldier finds the secret weapon, a robot in the form of a young child.

Good sci-fi flick, with a lot of cyberpunk elements that enchants the viewer not only with a decent story, but also with good acting and good special effects. A good blend between District 9, Star Wars and Matrix, at the end of the day it’s a very good movie, gets four popcorns.

At an elegant Parisian bordello at the dawn of the 20th century exists a cloistered world of pleasure, pain, hope, rivalries–and, most of all, slavery.

Some people keep complaining about the lack of plot in this movie, and they are not wrong. While not a bad movie, it’s not a movie at all, it’s like a painting that keeps moving for a couple of hours and then nothing. The costumes and the music are actually really nice, and the realistic view on the world of brothels and the people inside them is nice. But without a proper story, the movie seems bland, and not even the excess of nudity can make this interesting. Two popcorns.

Gym manager Lou falls for Jackie, a bodybuilder who is passing through town en route to a competition in Las Vegas.

Great thriller, with great music composed by Clint Mansell and a role that makes me like Kristen Stewart even more. Ed Harris was a great addition to a great cast, the general vibe of the movie is dark and it captures the end of the 80s perfectly. Four popcorns and definitely a recommendation to watch.

An adventure racer adopts a stray dog named Arthur to join him in an epic endurance race.

Excellent adventure movie for the entire family telling the real life story of Mikael Lindnord and the adventure where he met and adopted Arthur. It has some tense moments, looks very nice, the dog is adorable and the chemistry of the entire crew makes up for a very good watch. Five popcorns and races to the Movie Vault.

Mourning his dead child, a haunted Vietnam War veteran attempts to uncover his past while suffering from a severe case of dissociation. To do so, he must decipher reality and life from his own dreams, delusions, and perceptions of death.

Great cult horror-psychological movie about loss and inner demons, starring Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña, David Aiello, Jason Alexander and so many more. It’s a great movie and you even get to see Macaulay Culkin in an uncredited role. Directed by Adrian Lyne, director of Flashdance, Indecent Proposal and many other more, this is definitely a disturbing and great movie. I won’t talk about the 2019 remake, because that’s utter shit, a waste of film. Keep on watching this version. Five popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.

After developing an addiction to the substance he uses to kill bugs, an exterminator accidentally kills his wife and becomes involved in a secret government plot being orchestrated by giant bugs in a port town in North Africa.

Good movie directed by David Cronenberg, featuring such a great cast, Peter Weller (Robocop), Judy Davis, Ian Holm (Brazil, Lord of the Rings), Roy Scheider (Jaws, SeaQuest 2032). Three popcorns, because Cronenberg is an acquired taste, if you have the stomach for yucky stuff.

The head of a cyborg reactivates, rebuilds itself, and goes on a violent rampage in a space marine’s girlfriend’s apartment.

Classic end of the 80s action horror movie in a post-apocalyptic setting with a cyberpunk and steampunk component. It’s basically a David Cronenberg-like Terminator, with nice jokes and good acting and set design and the voice of Iggy Pop as Angry Bob. Not a masterpiece, but definitely worth seeing if you like the genre. Five popcorns.

This is Angry Bob, the man with the industrial dick, coming to you loud and clear on W.A.R. Radio with the good news and the bad news. Bad news is the heatwave’s not going to let up. It’s expected to hit ninety downtown before nightfall, although weather control keeps promising that rain is on the way. As for the good news - There is no fucking good news! So let’s just play some music!

Working at a fishing resort in an idyllic location, but surrounded by various facets of human unpleasantness, a young mute woman falls in love with a man on the run from the law for committing murder.

Good korean drama written and directed by the late Kim Ki-duk (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring). The writing is good, the acting is good, the pacing is a bit on the slow side, but there’s always something interesting on the screen, as it’s tense, surreal, and at times even funny. However, it does have some weird, gory, freaky scenes so it only gets three popcorns.

Paul Hanganu loves two women. Adriana his wife and the mother of their daughter, the woman with whom he’s shared the thrills of the past ten years, and Raluca the woman who has made him redefine himself. He has to leave one of them before Christmas.

Slow burning (but not boring) Romanian movie, presenting the life of a family with all its daily routines and problems. The mood is pretty tense and it does a really good job of keeping your attention to the screen. Unlike the Romanian movies, this has an ending and the story closes properly, without all the typical shitty open endings the writers have a boner for in the last 20 years. Four pocorns.
