Weird City (2019)

Weird City (2019)

🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

From the mind of Jordan Peele and Charlie Sanders comes WEIRD CITY, a satirical anthology set in the not-too-distant future metropolis of Weird. In this dystopian setting of our show, the middle class has completely vanished dividing Weird City into two sections: Above the Line (The Haves), and Below the Line (The Have Nots). Presiding over the denizens of the city is the strange and mysterious Dr. Negari, who weaves all of our stories together. Each episode is a topic that pertains to present day life in America and the world: social media addiction, online dating, fitness obsession, etc.. WEIRD CITY captures the unease of modern urban living, in a bizarre and peculiar lens.

Decent swing at a dumbed down version of Black Mirror. It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. The first episode, starring Ed O’Neill, is pretty good, although it has its cringe moments. The others range from decent to absolutely crap, with cringe moments sprinkled everywhere. Two popcorns because some of the actors there actually have a good performance. This could have been way better if it weren’t so cringe.

Mrs. Davis (2023)

Mrs. Davis (2023)

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

Sister Simone partners with her ex-boyfriend Wiley on a globe-spanning journey to destroy Mrs. Davis, a powerful artificial intelligence.

This is a beautiful comedy/sci-fi adventure mini series. It’s normal, considering one of the creators is Damon Lindelof (Lost, Star Trek, Prometheus). If features great acting by a lot of good actors, Betty Gilpin and Jake McDorman make a good team, there’s a black Jesus, and there’s a great appearance of Chris Diamantopoulos (Russ “Tres Comas” Hanneman from “Silicon Valley”). This is super funny, over the top, quirky, filled with cliches to the point that it’s stupid. Love it, six popcorns and gets into the Movie Vault.

Michele is thirteen year old, shy, unpopular at school, and in love with Stella. After wearing a costume for a Halloween party, he finds out that he’s invisible.

Good movie for the entire family. It’s nice to see superheroes appear somewhere else than US of A, and nicer to see Valeria Golino. Four popcorns and can’t wait to see the sequel.

IMDb

ASSA is set in Crimea during the winter in the mid eighties. A young musician (Bananan) falls for mobster’s (Krymov) young mistress (Alika). The parallel story line involves an 18th century assassination plot.

The film features popular rock musicians of the time: Victor Tsoi, “Aquarium”, Zhanna Aguzarova with the group “Bravo”, the group “Cinema”. Partly because of this, “Assa” became a cult movie and one of the most important movies regarding Soviet rock, as it took underground bands and put them into the mainstream.It’s well made, the acting and the story are very good and the music is excellent. Five popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

IMDb

Documentary filmed in last years of Soviet Union in Leningrad and featuring famous Soviet rock musicians.

It’s not a traditional documentary, there’s no narrator that takes us into the story and backstory of some artists, this is a collection of music pieces combined with some insight on the life of the artists presented. It features some of the best rock bands during the 80s in Russia, Auktyon, DDT, Kino, Akvarium, AVIA. Four popcorns for the documentary, twenty popcorn for the music.

Moro returns to Alma Ata to collect money owed to him. While waiting out an unexpected delay, he visits his former girlfriend Dina, and discovers she has become a morphine addict. He decides to help her kick the habit and to fight the local drug mafia responsible for her condition. But Moro finds a deadly opponent in “the doctor,” the mafia kingpin who is exploiting Dina.

You take a bit of “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”, you add a bit of “Trainspotting”, you set them in the 80s, you mix in some Communist regime, the great presence, acting and music of Viktor Tsoi and you get one of the best Russian movies out there. Six popcorns and a must watch masterpiece. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

IMDb

John Wick uncovers a path to defeating The High Table. But before he can earn his freedom, Wick must face off against a new enemy with powerful alliances across the globe and forces that turn old friends into foes.

What do you get when you give Keanu Reeves an unlimited supply of ammunition? Almost 3 hours of pew pew. While the moviee has good cinematography, I think there’s too much shooting in it. Anyway, it gets three popcorns because Hiroyuki Sanada is in it.

Conquest of Space (1955)

🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5

IMDb

An American-led team of International astronauts leave their space station on the first mission to Mars, but the captain’s religious beliefs may get in the way.

Good space fiction movie set into a close future. It’s nice how it got some of the things the future way off while some are very close to reality, but it’s amazing, keep in mind this is made in 1955. Judging by 2023 standards, it’s not an impressive movie, but it’s a good visionary sci-fi. Four popcorns.

Set your gyros for Mars.
