Philosophical conversations between a poet, politician, and scientist.

A lot of talk about a lot of subjects, basically the kind of talk you have after a couple of drinks with your smartest friend. It does touch a lot of good talking points and pokes them with some good arguments. All in all, six popcorns for this strong and good lecture in philosophy, science and life, in the shape of a movie that can also be a very good theater play.

That’s physics!
That’s poetry!
That’s wonderful!

Amid the stark discord of twin cities Piltover and Zaun, two sisters fight on rival sides of a war between magic technologies and clashing convictions.

Excellent little animated miniseries based on characters and lore from the League of Legends game (which I don’t play, because I hate MMOBAs). The writing is decent, the animation style and music are superlative and there’s nothing that I can say is that I wish that the Warcraft universe would get a similar treatment. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

In 1970s Romania a rebellious and erratic teenager is vying for his older step brother’s love and attention while envying his fame and lifestyle.

Excellent movie about the relationship between two brothers. Excellent psychological movie directed by Mircea Saucan, with absolutely great cinematography, starring the great Dan Nutu and Ion Dichiseanu. However, the best performance is definitely the one of Ileana Popovici in the role of Dora, the naive young girl. Seven popcorns for one of the best Romanian movies out there, even better than the ones made by Goddard and ses amis, that goes straight into the Movie Vault.

In the midst of crisis: how can we discover the truth when it seems that the world is being destroyed by uncontrollable forces? Also, to what extent are conspiracy theories our own inventions or products of our imagination?

Mixing conspiracy with improbable technology, what seemed to be a good tech show got turned into a political hullaballoo that not even Robert De Niro, nor Jesse Plemons, nor Matthew Modine could save. All in all, a nice conspiracy thriller, with a decent story and some good twists. Three popcorns.

Ultimately, the movie is a poem, told in very expressive images, the cinematography being one of its strongest points. Sad and heartbreaking, the movie tells a story that seems it got forgotten by most nowadays. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault, because history that’s forgotten is doomed to be repeated.

In Severance, Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in “work-life balance” is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself.

In season two, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe. There are already six episodes out of the ten in this season, and I must say, the quality is great and it was definitely worth the wait. Not only the cinematography is stellar, but the acting and writing is absolutely excellent! Seven popcorns and can’t wait to see where the story goes.
