Not gonna say too much about it, or give any plot points. Just. Fucking. Watch. This. Don’t wait for the overly-Americanized version that’s currently in production at Netflix by none other than Dumb and Dumber. Just watch this.

It’s based on the bestseller by Liu Cixin, which itself is based on the three-body problem in orbital mechanics.

Not gonna say much about it, but I like the slow burning unfolding of the story, the great cinematography, the acting and the very good music (I think every episode ends with an excellent song). Also I like that while it does feel a bit made in America (because of the mood, setting, camera-work, etc), it’s has a style of it’s own and people actually use their brains and discuss stuff, rather than starting to shoot at everything that’s moving.

The series has 30 episodes and covers the entire book, so you don’t need to worry about cancellations mid-story (looking at you, Netflix and HBO!) and you’re definitely going to enjoy a full story. I’ve only watched a couple of episodes, but it got me hooked and curious, so it gets six popcorns for now and teleports into the Movie Vault.

Two lighthouse keepers try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.

Great artistic movie, it’s more about how they feel rather than what it happens. The movie it’s filled with symbolism and myths, and while it has an ending, it will make you keep wondering about the meaning of it. Besides the great cinematography (reminding me of Ingmar Bergman) and the great sound score, what makes this movie stand out is the incredible acting done by both lead actors, Willem Dafoe playing the weird crazy guy we all know and love and the great transformation of Robert Pattinson. Five popcorns.

Romulus and Remus, two shepherds and loyal brothers, end up taking part to a journey that will lead one of them to be the founder of the greatest nation ever seen.

Excellent movie about the legend of Romulus and Remus. The movie is intense. it’s gorey, it’s violent, just as those times were. The fact that the spoken language is pre-roman latin makes it even more awesome, gives it a realistic feel, and puts this movie up there with Apocalypto. The music is great, the pacing is also pretty fast, with some great pauses here and there to fully immerse yourself in the story. Six popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

A father’s wish magically brings a wooden boy to life in Italy, giving him a chance to care for the child.

Nice rework of the original Pinocchio story, Guillermo del Toro really knows how to set a mood. The graphics are beautiful, the music is nice, but be aware, this is not a movie for kids. It has its good share of sad parts. It gets three popcorns, but could have gotten five if it wasn’t so fucking depressing.

Follow the rise of the most famous adult entertainment platform and the recent backlash it has received. Featuring interviews with performers, activists and past employees, this documentary offers a deep dive into the successes and scandals of Pornhub.

This is not necessarily a documentary, but a real-life-based show. It features some testimonies from people that were involved and affected by the demonetization of PornHub, and it shows, as always, that all the roads go to Rome corporate greed. Three popcorns.

The dramatization of a motorcycle road trip Che Guevara went on in his youth that showed him his life’s calling.

Excellent movie about the early years of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, giving some insight on the introspective journey that made him fundamentally change the way he viewed himself and the contemporary economic conditions in Latin America. Cinematography is amazing, the acting is great (both from the main actors and the small roles too), the music is immersive and over all it’s a wonderful movie about a good person. Six popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

Orphaned high school student Rick Riker is bitten by a radioactive dragonfly, develops super powers (except for the ability to fly), and becomes a hero.

While most parody movies are very very very bad and stupid, Superhero Movie feels a bit like a return to the first two Scary Movie titles. Some jokes are actually funny, there are some stars appearing in small roles or cameos, some decent impersonators and all in all is a decently made movie. Three popcorns, because the post-credit outtakes are almost funnier that the movie itself.

When Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for adventure has taken its toll and he has burned through eight of his nine lives, he launches an epic journey to restore them by finding the mythical Last Wish.

Classic DreamWorks movie: great animation, lovely spins on old fairy-tale characters, fun moments, sad moments, life lessons. This movie is fun for all kids aged 2 to 152. Plus the wolf scenes were scary as fuck, mad props for turning a bit towards the darkness. Action scenes are bonkers, glorious 12 frames per second, hyper-stylized with all the filters and gimmicks necessary to elevate the big set-pieces to something truly special and memorable. Five popcorns, no doubt.

A middle-aged Chinese immigrant is swept up into an insane adventure in which she alone can save existence by exploring other universes and connecting with the lives she could have led.

An overly pretentious piece of garbage. I love Michelle Yeoh, I loved her in Star Trek: Discovery, she was actually the only bearable person there, and maybe she deserved an Oscar. Not for this movie though. The editing might be cool at some point, but gets very tiring. The acting is over the top, the pacing is so chaotic, it looks like it was written by Justin Bieber’s monkey while on cocaine.

I get that the film is attempting to say something profound about life – being happy with the choices that we have made, having no regrets, and accepting others for who they are – but it’s hard to give a toss about any of that when faced with such relentless codswallop. — BA_Harrison

I’d give this zero popcorn, because because it’s pretentious garbage that also got seven fucking Oscars lol, but it’ll break the popcorn display, so I’m gonna give it one. If there is an opposite of the Movie Vault, a “Movie Black Hole”, then this is the first movie to get on that list.

Seven Oscars. What a fucking joke.

Two sons of a stern minister - one reserved, one rebellious - grow up in rural 1920s Montana while devoted to fly fishing.

Very good movie based on a novel, based on true events. Craig Sheffer and Brad Pitt do maybe the roles of their life. The casting is great, the chemistry between the characters (and the actors) is fantastic, the music is excellent and the cinematography is stunning (it even got an Oscar for that). It also marks the first notable role of Joseph Gordon Levitt.

All in all, a good blend of funny moments and real life situations, masterfully brought together by Robert Redford, which deserves six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

Features interviews and personal archives from the life and career of NBA legend Bill Russell.

To my shame, I had no idea about the existence, the life and work of Bill Russell. Once again, Netflix invests in a good sports documentary, one that features the work and fight of Bill Russell on and off court. The documentary is a pretty long one, close to three hours and a half, split in two parts. I definitely think this is a documentary to watch if you like basketball, care about social inequality, both, or neither.

The story of the relationship between Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and last survivor of his people, and two scientists who work together over the course of forty years to search the Amazon for a sacred healing plant.

This is a great road movie. The story is well-told, well filmed, and most of all, masterfully acted. Five popcorns.
