Derry Girls (2018-2022)
The personal exploits of a 16-year-old girl and her family and friends during the Troubles in the early 1990s in Northern Ireland.
This is a brilliant TV series telling the story of some kids and their adventures in Ireland during the 90s. It’s heartfelt, heartwarming and very well written. Seven popcorns for a show that perfectly mixes storytelling, comedy, drama and tragedy with good music, realistic acting and some really interesting guest stars. Seven popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

Father Ted (1995-1998)
Three misfit priests and their housekeeper live on Craggy Island, not the peaceful and quiet part of Ireland that it seems to be.
Hilarious little TV series, very easy to digest and a solid binge. Seven popcorn for one of the best and funniest TV series out there.

Wayward Pines - Season 2 (2016)
We pick up in the second season with Dr. Theo Yedlin (Jason Patric) being wooed away from a present-day tropical vacation with the prospect of helping save thousands of lives, which we all know means that Theo is about to wake up in Wayward Pines disoriented and unprepared to be introduced to the new reality.
Not as good as the first season, which was brilliant, but still a strong mystery/action tv series. Gets only 4 popcorns, because while it’s decent on its own, it is overshadowed by the first season.

This is fucking great, this is what Lost should have been. Short story arc, well written, well acted, well directed, with great performances from Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino, Shannyn Sossamon, Toby Jones and Siohban Fallon Hogan. Seven popcorns and jumps straight up into the Movie Vault.

The Shape of Things (2003)
A quiet, unassuming man begins to change in a major way as a result of meeting a new, art-student girlfriend, and his friends are unsettled by the transformation.
Another great movie by the weird and exceptional Neil LaBute. Paul Rudd is brilliant, Rachel Weisz is fantastic and Gretchen Mol and Frederick Weller complete perfectly the cast. Five popcorns.

Your Friends and Neighbors (1998)
Unhappy couples fall apart and hop into other beds with other people.

The Lion in Winter (1968)
1183 A.D.: King Henry II’s three sons all want to inherit the throne, but he won’t commit to a choice. When he allows his imprisoned wife Eleanor of Aquitaine out for a Christmas visit, they all variously plot to force him into a decision.
The most royal of the cycle of โ60s films dealing with the history and castle intrigues of Medieval England, Anthony Harveyโs THE LION IN WINTER returns in a new 4K restoration by Studiocanal. At Christmas Court in 1183 King Henry II (Peter OโToole) argues with his estranged wife, Eleanor (Katharine Hepburn), over whether Prince John (Nigel Terry) or Richard (Anthony Hopkins in his film debut) shall inherit the throne. Complicating matters, King Philip II of France (Timothy Dalton, also his debut) seeks his own fortune by demanding his sister Alais (Jane Merrow), currently Henryโs mistress, be betrothed to Richard, all the while stirring insurrection among all of Henryโs sons toward their father. Five popcorns for a great classic that jumps into the Movie Vault.

Saltburn (2023)
A student at Oxford University finds himself drawn into the world of a charming and aristocratic classmate, who invites him to his eccentric family’s sprawling estate for a summer never to be forgotten
Good movie about pretentious people with pretentious lives and a young kid making contact with that world. And because it’s with Rosamund Pike, it will get stupidly weird, in a good weird way. Three popcorns.

Field of Dreams (1989)
Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella is inspired by a voice he can’t ignore to pursue a dream he can hardly believe. Supported by his wife, Ray begins the quest by turning his ordinary cornfield into a place where dreams can come true.
“If you build it, he will come.” That’s the ethereal message that inspires Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. At first, “he” seems to be the ghost of disgraced ballplayer Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta), who materializes on the ballfield and plays a few games with the awestruck Ray. But as the weeks go by, Ray receives several other messages from a disembodied voice, one of which is “Ease his pain.” He realizes that his ballfield has been divinely ordained to give a second chance to people who have sacrificed certain valuable aspects of their lives. One of these folks is Salingeresque writer Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), whom Ray kidnaps and takes to a ball game and then to his farm. Another is Doc Graham (Burt Lancaster), a beloved general practitioner who gave up a burgeoning baseball career in favor of medicine. The final “second-chancer” turns out to be much closer to Ray. That “magical” field in Dyersville, Iowa still draws thousands of baseball-happy tourists each year.
A superb story, removed from time, space and law of physics, telling an emotional story about life, choices, second chances, all tied through baseball. Six popcorns and hits a home run into the Movie Vault.

Trap (2024)
A father and his teen daughter attend a pop concert only to realize they’ve entered the center of a dark and sinister event.
Classic M. Night Shyamalan movie where you’re watching at stuff and you think you know what happens, and no matter what you think, you’re wrong. Also Shyamalan’s daughter can’t act for shit even the simple role of brown Taylor Swift. One very generous popcorn because I actually liked the idea of having a killer trapped in public and him trying to escape, but the ending is actually worse than of a classical MNS movie.
At best, it felt like a long setup for a Butcher sequel coming up, which no one will see if it’s this shit. To quote a dude from screen rant: the biggest surprise ended up being the movieโs predictable conclusion.
