An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick.

Interesting small cyberpunk-ish retrofuturistic movie. While it looks like a combination of Fallout, Emoji Movie and Matrix, it’s a good watch for all young adults from 13 to 69 years old. Millie Bobby Brown is doing great, as always, and Chris Pratt is great with his handlebar mustache. All in all, this won’t be a masterpiece, but if you want to bonk two hours, then it’s a great way to do so. Four popcorns.

A complete graduating class, consisting of beautiful girls, geeks and promising footballers, assemble at a rich classmate’s residence for a party. Interesting developments follow at the get-together.

Can’t Hardly Believe I didn’t watch this movie until today., as it’s one of the source of inspiration for “Not Another Teen Movie”. This is a cult classic graduation party movie situated at the end of the nineties, features an all-star cast (Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Lauren Ambrose, Peter Facinelli, Seth Green, Donald Faison, Jamie Pressly, Jason Segel, Clea DuVall, Leslie Grossman). Moreover, the soundtrack is absolutely bonkers. This is definitely the kind of movie that won’t be made ever again. gets six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

A man travels around a city with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling invention.

Excellent documentary showcasing life at the end of the 1920s. A masterpiece from a cinematographic point of view, as it was pretty much non existent by then, it features techniques used by the director, or invented by him, like multiple exposure, fast motion, slow motion, freeze frames, match cuts, jump cuts, split screens, Dutch angles, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, reversed footage, stop motion animations and self-reflexive visuals. The music complements the daily life in a wonderful way and although it’s only a bit over an hour, it’s an entertaining, educational movie, a window to a world gone now. Six popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.

A Spanish actor disappears during the filming of a movie. Although his body is never found, the police conclude that he has suffered an accident at the edge of a cliff. Many years later, the mystery returns to the present day.

Slow burning European movie, with a lot of talking that very slowly unfolds a great story. The cinematography is great, the music is great and the acting is excellent. Four popcorns.

PS: I will never make fun about the Romanian movies where they eat soup for 20 minutes, seems like it’s an European thing. The movie is still great.

An inventive crime thriller told backwards reversing day by day through a week following a local sheriff’s quest to unlock the mystery of three small-town criminals and a bank heist gone wrong.

Simple straight story told in reverse, highlighted by great casting and great acting. Honestly, I only picked this up because Rainn Wilson is in it, and boy does he deliver! I loved how you get to know things and then slowly learn in reverse how it happened. I also liked the recurring themes, like the deputy always riding in the back of th police car. All in all, it’s a good movie, has a decent re-watch capability and slowly unfolds through some backtracking, all this while being slowly paced, but not boring. Definitely worth at least one watch. Five popcorns.

When a 13-year-old is accused of the murder of a classmate, his family, therapist and the detective in charge are all left asking what really happened.

Good interesting story, keeping the mystery well in check and unfolding really well. I loved how each episode is one continuous take with no cuts, in a great achievement of cinematography. Otherwise, the pacing is fine, the mini-series is four episodes, not too long nor too short, making this a great watch for an evening. Six popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

An executive of a Yokohama shoe company becomes a victim of extortion when his chauffeur’s son is kidnapped by mistake and held for ransom.

When you add together Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune, you’re bound to watch a masterpiece. What starts as a good drama about moral compass turns soon into a brilliant procedural investigation movie that puts the likes of CSI shit to shame. Excellent movie and while I know I put quite a lot of movies on the Movie Vault, this is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. Seven popcorns.

Starring the great Burt Lancaster in what is most likely one of his best movies, this will keep you at the edge of the seat and always keep you wandering what is actually happening until everything makes sense. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

You’re the captain of your soul, that’s what counts.

A family on the brink of splitting up becomes the owner of a cutting-edge robot wanted by a corporation, homicide investigators and terrorists.

Loosely respecting Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, it feels close to blending shows like the Swedish “Real Humans”, the British “Humans” and the movie “I, Robot”, but telling its own story. It’s Russian-made, and it comes from the new Russian schohool of cinema, which blends good writing, high budgets, great VFX and very good looking cast. And while it looks Hollywood-ish, it’s better without the diversity checkboxes in place. Three popcorns, as the premise is good, but the plotholes are so big, an android could fly a jumbo jet through them. Like one dude somehow surviving after getting shot from 2 meters in the back and getting buried alive.

Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson, Keanu is Keanu, everything else is as you’d expect. Great romantic comedy with a pinch of drama, all in all a great movie that was released at the turn of the century. Six popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

Costica, an aimless man, runs for president inadvertently backed by a corrupt party planning to lose and continue embezzling funds, all while he naively seeks to secure his neighbor’s parking spot.

Great X-ray of the political scene in Romania (and all other countries). Love the funny jokes and the tongue in cheeks and while it’s low effort, it’s also high-yield humor. Four popcorns for an easy comedy.
