An okay series with Lara Croft, but nothing that really grabbed me or sparked any strong emotions. To be fair, I’m not a huge expert on Lara Croft or the Tomb Raider games. I played a few of the older ones when I was younger, and they were fun, but nothing I felt the need to finish. Same goes for the newer trilogy—I…

A delicacy not only for players. Martin Scorsese scores, shoots with imagination, picks up the pace and masterfully leads Paul Newman back to the pool table. The irresistible Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is charming, but Tom Cruise oscillates between naive, whiny and pompous douchebag a little too vehemently and spoils…

Renowned plastic surgeon P. Reynolds has the perfect plan to get his hands on an estate that his late father left not to him, but to his daughter Heather – and five million dollars was certainly no small sum. So when he stumbles upon a girl who has nearly lost her face, he decides to make her a double for his daughter…

A moralistic horror film where the price of sin high. A medieval view of man who should suffer on earth to find peace after death. The premise is unoriginal, but that was the least that bothered me. At times almost surreal, the film interweaves dreams, hallucinations and reality to the point where you get lost at…

Stanislav Strnad's game with time linearity surpasses Nolan's virtuosity, the ratio of intended to unintended humor is about 2:3, and the excited viewer holds their breath in tension, wondering if comrade physical education chief Mrkvička can handle all the twists and turns despite caring for foreign bodies and…

Le film canadien intitulé « La Malédiction de la sorcière » a quelque chose d’un film d’horreur, d’un film satanique, d’un film d’horreur mystérieux et d’un film d’horreur fantôme. Et l’ensemble fonctionne plutôt bien. Il y a quelques moments sourds ici et là, il est très redevable au genre et à d’autres films qu'’l…

Le film britannique intitulé « Zombie Diaries 2 : World of the Dead » n’est pas une insulte pure et simple au genre zombie, mais plutôt une insulte à la réalisation. Les bons films sont faits différemment, les films intéressants sont faits différemment. C’est un film qui dévalorise un genre qui n’a malheureusement pas…

I’m finding myself increasingly frustrated with the direction of this season. Translating the current American political scene into a superhero world is getting a bit stale for me, though I get that it might hit differently if I were a U.S. citizen. Otherwise, it’s mostly a lot of empty talk with the occasional burst…

If a movie involves cooking (and we’re talking food, not meth) and isn’t a comedy, I’m generally expecting something semi-artsy (and often painfully slow) like The Menu—or, you know, something like this. Nick Tomnay directed his own script here, so any missteps would be on him alone. Thankfully, he dodges most of them…
