At first I got worried when I say this is a Disney production, but in the end the film exceeded my low expectations and I had an above average time. I was slightly disoriented by the first half because of the flashbacks, but I got used to it and accepted the creative play that this was a teen sci-fi flick and not a dark blockbuster, with the kids in the theater predominating. Decent visual effects, a fascinating world of tomorrow, a fairly unorthodox premise, nice actors and a decent pace. The highlight was definitely the robot attack on George Clooney's house, who outsmarted everyone with his inventions and gadgets. PS: The cameo by Keegan Michael Key was a delight. 70%

A very solid martial arts romp starring Jet Li, who is as fit as ever here, I don't remember him like this, angry and determined (it's a shame he's no longer in newer films). There's plenty of action and it's filmed very dynamic and fast for its time, with effective and interesting moves, perfect kung-fu choreography and fine opponents. The downside is the occasional mismatched punches, but that's forgivable for the time the time the film was made. 80%.

After a promising trailer, a very bland and weak action flick. On the plus side, it has attractive scenery, Samuel L. Jackson, decent visuals and effects and a brisk pace, but the film comes across as infantile and naive, so it fails to captivate much. Much more could have been made of it, but it's not downright shit. 50%

Fuck you Tom Six! The most pointless sequel? Definitely! The first part was an excellent horror film featuring just about every element from suspense, atmosphere, depravity to the idea, the second part moved into an underground and self-indulgent style but still very solid, but the third part is an absolute cinematic low and a disgrace to all cinema. Dieter Laser seems to have forgotten that he's not in an amateur theatre, but a C-horror movie, and so delivers the most embarrassing theatrical performance ever. A snivelling, whiny sociopath with unfunny obscene remarks who screams so much throughout the film that it's almost impossible to stand without a double dose of brufene, add in his unflattering face and you'll wish he never appeared on a movie screen again for the rest of his life. (I never wished cancer or AIDS on anyone like him). His goblin sidekick is a quieter evil, but his mouth is unreal again. The other downside also is that the centipede's turn doesn't come until the last 20 minutes before the end, and we only see one stitching from the operation (we know that from the first one, thanks). Until then, the "film" is an awkward, banal, boring, poorly shot and stupid satire. 1* for the detailed castration and the sexy secretary, otherwise bloody awful. 20%

The trailer was okay, the ratings were terrible, and I still gave Exeter a shot, and in the end it wasn't bad at all. It's a fact that the movie is stupid to the point of being painful, the behavior of the characters and the script are among the worst in the category, but I'm not allergic to that. The film keeps a fairly decent pace, has a few decent jokes, it's even filmed decently and the last half hour is awesome with perfect gore, which makes it a wonder that even bloody fans are so critical of the film. A few scenes were very good, and the ending itself with the head cut in half and the toothbrushes stuck in the eyes, it’s not something you see every day. Not much to recommend it, but a relatively fine B-movie. 55%

Big Match was supposed to be my dark horse this year, because nothing of substance is supposed to come out of Korea this year, but unfortunately I can't avoid disappointment. While it's true that the protagonist is likable and once he's involved in the millionaire game, the film has a decent pace until the end, but the all-around comedy element spoils the impression. The movie is not at all hard, gritty, gory, it's a kind of fun foolishness where I'm not even too happy with the action scenes. There's only one proper fight and that's only at the end, otherwise it's basically just running away all the time, zigzagging even with the help of acrobatics, but this doesn't really grab me. For me, the potential of both the main character is completely unused (an MMA world champion and he doesn't get a chance to show off properly? Really?!) and the challenges seemed rather uninteresting and underutilized. A great pity. 60%.

Season 1 95%, Season 2 100% and Season 3 definitely 200%. Banshee is the king of action series, it has perfect characters, great one liners, lots of sex (there is not a woman in the series who doesn't get naked), perfect gore, solid fights, very good action, the emotions work too, because the characters die a lot. Best Characters: Hood is charismatic likable, confident, fearless, brave and solves everything his way. Job, even though he's a transvestite, he added incredible juice to the series, there wasn't a sentence where he didn't say motherfucker and always put a smile on my face. Proctor is a strange character, you don't know whether to root for him or hate him, he's versatile but decent as a mob boss. Rebecca is a dream woman, I'd invest 20 grand to fuck her, but in the third season she's become a typical and forceful bitch. Brock is a nice guy, he doesn't stand out too much from the show, but he's fair and a good cop. Sugar is also a very likable character, he doesn't talk too much, he doesn't show off too much in action, but I'd go for a beer with him. Bunker is a Nazi and the third season's reinforcement, he's a dude I enjoy. Chayton is the biggest badass of all badasses, ever, a cold-blooded Indian killer who has no mercy on anyone and you wish him dead. Lola's a right tough pussy, a little Michele Rodriguez. Gordon, Deva, Carrie, those three probably entertained me the least out of the series, I didn't grow fond of any of them. Rabbit is the weaker villain, I didn't enjoy him very much. Stow is the perfect bad guy, he deserves a series to himself, a tough and uncompromising soldier with incredible guts. Bottom line, it was a lovely two weeks.

No, not this. This could easily be a prequel to Lords of Salem, because both films nearly tortured me to death. The greater horror was me in bed watching it, rolling from side to side, banging my head against the wall, biting my nails, and chasing the thought in my head of why the fuck the movie wasn't over yet. An unbelievable borefest that is so hypnotically and uninterestingly filmed on top of everything else that you won't even know or know the gist of the film. France is declining year by year and the times of Inside and High Tension are probably gone. The only thing worth mentioning here was the ending, where the strange horse fell apart quite nicely, but otherwise this thing missed me by a mile. Sorry. 25%.

After the enjoyable trailer, I'm pretty annoyed at how bland and uninteresting it was. Despite the fabulous running time, the film is slow to get going, the scares are absolutely non-functional, the soundtrack is lacking, and I had headphones on. The final showdown also sucks, visually the film is lame, only Olivia Wilde makes it worth seeing the film, I could keep my eyes on her. Disappointing, glad I didn't go to the cinema. 40%

After cardiac resuscitation I am back and can write my feelings. Mad Max: Fury Road is frantic and adrenaline-fueled to the point where all other movies seem old-fashioned and incredibly slow. Intensity, insanity, extravagant ideas, filthiness, and breakneck pace are superlatives that clearly describe this film. There was absolutely no need for a more complex story here, the film has plenty to surprise you, it evokes emotion and hatred, you can't breathe during the action scenes and only wipe your brow during minor moments of calm, take a sip of Coke and before you know it you're back in suspense, stressed and dodging great 3D effects. There hasn't been a better post-apocalyptic road movie in years (I'm deliberately not mentioning the action genre because The Raid 2 is the best). 98% without a doubt. 2% off, because I was hoping that the film would be much more of a butchery as promised, but it didn't happen.
