Poor Things Movie Review. Perhaps the Strangest Experience of 2024

Poor Things Movie Review. Perhaps the Strangest Experience of 2024

Poor Things is not a typical film. It's a perfect trap for the viewer who expects a garden-variety cinema. Meanwhile, it's hard to get a weirder experience than the one offered by a screening of a Yórgos Lánthimos' production.

Detective Forst - Review. Netflix's Show is a Decent Crime Series and... Festival of Wasted Potential

Detective Forst - Review. Netflix's Show is a Decent Crime Series and... Festival of Wasted Potential

Not yet this time. We'll have to wait for a really great Polish detective story. In the meantime, you can watch the Forst series from Netflix. It's unlikely to knock you out, but at least you'll kill time with a fairly decent production.

True Detective: Night Country - Review. Season 4 is Mastery, Yet Lacks Original's Artistic Frenzy

True Detective: Night Country - Review. Season 4 is Mastery, Yet Lacks Original's Artistic Frenzy

A sense of isolation, a beleaguered, bone-cutting darkness and frost, and great acting. This is what True Detective's return to form looks like. The fourth season is almost as good as the first one. Only one aspect from the original is missing – a touch of madness.

The Expendables 4 - review. The movie is so clumsy, that John Wick beats them by standing still

The Expendables 4 - review. The movie is so clumsy, that John Wick beats them by standing still

I can't believe what I saw. The Expendables 4 is such a crappy movie that it might as well be on TV with one star. This walking nightmare leaves no doubt - the end of the franchise has come.

The Creator review. Impressive But Not a Flawless Film

The Creator review. Impressive But Not a Flawless Film

The Creator is a stunning film both visually and in terms of acting. You can't take your eyes off the production, it engages you throughout the entire duration. Even despite some plot points that aren't entirely coherent.

Netflix's 1670 Review. Polish Answer to The Office Set in Baroque Just Works

Netflix's 1670 Review. Polish Answer to The Office Set in Baroque Just Works

Some may feel offended by 1670, but this show shouldn't be treated as offensive. It's a good satire of Poland and its nobles. The sad news is that the style and overall direction has more pros than the story.

Monster Anime Is The Best Thriller You Don't Know

There are anime that break the cultural barrier and become - or should become - universal classics. This group includes the outstanding Monster, available on Netflix. Until recently it was cult only in certain circles. It's time to change that.

Godzilla Minus One makes my skin crawl. The Japanese king of monsters is back

Godzilla Minus One may serve for other filmmakers as a hallmark for how to make monster movies. The Japanese monster is destructive, but the movie wouldn't be a success without humans and their stories.

Rick and Morty S07 is a Diluted Residue of Great SF and It Makes Me Sad

Rick and Morty used to impress us with crazy stories full of pop-culture references and dark humor. With time, the show lost its teeth and by season 7, it’s almost exclusively disappointing.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is the latest film by Anderson, which (finally) is less exalted, cooler and, most importantly, done with elan.

Netflix’ The Fall of the House of Usher is an Adaptation That Doesn’t Get the Original

Edgar Allan Poe is famous for his introspective novels that explore the frontier of our cognition. Mike Flanagan, on the other hand, slips on human ego like a frog on ice, making The Fall of the House of Usher merely pretending an adaptation.
