Blood Diamond (2006)
A fisherman, a smuggler, and a syndicate of businessmen match wits over the possession of a priceless diamond.
Excellent movie about greed, war, and greed again. Leonardo di Caprio makes a good role, same as Djimon Hounsou and Jennifer Connelly. Speaks volumes about greed, soldier children, and how most of Africa is a meat-grinder. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

Papillon (1973)
A French convict in the 1930s befriends a fellow criminal as the two of them begin serving their sentence in the South American penal colony on Devil’s Island, which inspires the man to plot his escape.
Great classic movie starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. There’s not much to say about it just to watch it. The 2017 remake is also good (with Charlie Hunnam), but this is absolutely great. Five popcorns.

Gran Turismo (2023)
Based on the unbelievable, inspiring true story of a team of underdogs - a struggling, working-class gamer, a failed former race car driver, and an idealistic motorsport exec - who risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the world.
Directed by Neill Blomkamp (Chappie, District 9, Elysium), this ia another case of a good movie based on a game (more or less). It tells the true story of Jann Mardenborough and his rise from GT racing on PlayStation to actual real racing. The movie is action-packed, has really nice effects and it’s a pleasure to watch on 4K HDR. Four popcorns.

Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)

Fun comedy set in the eighties, directed by Richard Linklater (A Scanner Darkly, Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight), stars Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent in Superman & Lois TV series) and Ryan Guzman (from Heroes Reborn), and it makes for a decent time on a rainy afternoon. Three stars because of the great soundtrack.

The Andromeda Strain (1971)
A team of top scientists work feverishly in a secret, state-of-the-art laboratory to discover what has killed the citizens of a small town and learn how this deadly contagion can be stopped.
Fantastic 70s science-fiction movie about investigating an outbreak of alien provenience. Based on the universally-acclaimed novel by Michael Crichton, the father of the techno-triller genre (and director of the original Westworld movie), it’s tense, it’s well paced, well filmed and leaves a strong mark. This is also due to the fact that this masterpiece is directed by Robert Wise (director of West Side Story, The Sound of Music or The Haunting, Star Trek). Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

Lord of the Flies (1990)
Stranded on an island, a group of schoolboys degenerate into savagery.
Didn’t read the book, so I can’t compare, but the movie was ok-ish. Not life changing, some kids doing shit stuff because they don’t know better. Two popcorns.

Metronom (2022)
Romania, the autumn of the year 1972. Ana, a 17 year-old teenager, finds out that her boyfriend will flee the country for good in a few days. The two lovers decide to spend their last days together.
Bucharest, 1972. Ana, 17, dreams of love and freedom. One night, while partying with her friends, they decide to send a letter to Metronom, the musical program which Radio Free Europe broadcasts clandestinely in Romania. And then everything falls apart. With a slow tempo, good soundtrack and long uninterupted scenes, this movie is not only about what happens, but also about how the characters feel. And while at some point it looks surrealist or blown out of proportion, but it’s just the reality of the communist regime of that era, where the State Police would round up youngsters for long hair or listening to Led Zeppellin. Five popcorns.
