The Batman Black and ruinous, the current iteration of the Bruce Wayne legend is full of creeping tension and suspense, urban decay, and post-Punk energy as the dude in the cape & cowl battles a chilling and cherub-faced Paul Dano as Riddler. Three hours but feels like two, and a long overdue dose of realism for these classic characters. |

The Matrix Resurrections (2021 - US): Pleasantly surprised by most of it, and then dismayed that my cake was dough. The (approximately) final quarter of it could have been a lot better. 7/10

Taxandria (1994 - Belgium/Germany/France/Hungary/Netherlands/UK/US): I just loved, loved and loved the tunes in the movie. Especially the atmospheric ones that are reminiscent of the music that we call dungeon synth were majestic; howbeit, the movie was not that good. 6/10

La antena (2007 - Argentina): The movie definitely has a European feel to it. The dystopia portrayed here was horrid in nature, but the way it was conveyed didn't evoke any dread in me. Wonderful musical pieces "drive" this moving, beautiful little (mostly) silent film noir. It was engaging, but the showdown part was overlong. That can be my only negative criticism. 8.5/10

Without Warning - cheapo "scifi" horror film about an alien that hunts earthpeople. Starts very promising but grinds to a halt halfway through. In the end the best thing about the film is that it inspired Predator and even featured the same actor as the alien! Martin Landau also does a great job overacting a wacko veteran.

Den brysomme mannen (2006 - Norway/Iceland): The Idiocracy (2006) of the North. Just as hilarious and good, maybe even better. With a huge difference though. (See the spoiler below, or don't see if you wanna watch the film.)
Hearing Edward Grieg's famous tune from Solveig's Song was cool. 8/10 Colossal and glacial spoiler: The disposable "idiocrat" here was the protagonist. Edited by Archisorcerus - March 04 2022 at 13:51 |

November (2017 - Estonia/Poland/Netherlands): An arthouse movie, and a good one. B&W (mostly "white"
 ). I pretty much got what I hoped for. The "kratt" was a good bonus. That was pretty bizarre and interesting. Especially the opening scene with it was superb. I appreciated that some scenes were not as one expects. They seem to have risked "losing" a portion of the audience with their artistic approach for the sake of originality. 8/10

Born of Hope (2009 - UK): Boring, boring, booooooo-riiiiiiinnnng!.. Fine acting, generally. The orcs, the costumes, the fighting sceness... All were good. They surely put their heart and soul into this movie. It could be (and seemingly is) a real treat for the LotR (the movies) fans; for most of them, I mean. I loved the trilogy too. But the budget was crucially important for me in them. This is a fan movie, so it naturally lacks that. 5/10

Walked out on the most recent installment of the Spider-Man franchise yesterday afternoon. Uninteresting from the start. And the assembling of past villains was a weak idea that was contrived more than built upon in any semblance of an entertaining way. An awkward movie that only had in its favor the use of Talking Heads' I Zimbra during an early action sequence.

Lord of Illusions (1995 - US/UK): A cult classic; niche, stylistic and nightmarish horror film, from Clive Barker: The Horror Conjurer. IDK why and how it slipped by me in all these years, given that I'm a humungous Barker fan. His directing is/was very experimental. I thoroughly enjoyed all the movies he directed, including the "cheesy" Nightbreed. 9.5/10

For a Few Dollars More - second film in the "dollar trilogy" and my favourite of the three. Charmingly nihilistic.
Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot! - this oddball cult spaghetti western is probably the weirdest movie of its genre. Chaotic, perverted and ridiculous in the way only Italians made them in the golden age of exploitation cinema. |

The Satanic Rites of Dracula - a latter era Hammer film that loses to the early classics in gothicness, but wins in brutality, nudity and groovy music. Well worth viewing.
Cobra - no-nonsense 80s action classic with plenty of cheese, bad attitude and weapon fetishism. Highly recommended of course.

Terminus (2015 - Australia): A fine movie, but I would wish the family drama weren't this predominant. The ending seems to be influenced by Alex Proyas' "Knowing"s. 6.5/10

From Time to Time (2009 - UK): A beautiful story, but not a cinematic delight. It seems better to read the novel from which the movie was adapted, instead. Some stories just don't impress on screen. 6.5/10

The King's Man - Indifferent reviews for this prequel. I loved the first movie, the second not so much and I wasn't expecting much from this new one. Set 1901-1918 it shows the beginnings of the Kingsman secret service. This is one of those rare movies that starts of slowly and gets better and better as it progresses and the climax is phenomenal. There is some comedic value too, not too much but just right (Rasputin played by Rhys Ifans has the most fun). The action is top notch as you'd expect if you've watched the first 2 movies and it flies, despite the 2hr 15 min runtime. It's better than the reviews and I'll give it 8/10
