3DD!3

After the depressing ending to the last season, which was further deepened by the death of Helen McCrory, the bar was extremely high, but Steven Knight wove a very powerful story about the search for love inside the soul of an insensitive Gypsy gangster into the historical setting of the beginnings of World War Two. It lacks the earthiness of the first five seasons, there’s much more politics, but the development is logical and makes sense. Perhaps in the role of a lifetime, Cillian Murphy gives Tommy Shelby’s departure for the New World incredible drive and solemnity. A final season as it should be. Good and fateful, full of death and farewells. P.S.: It was good to see the cameo by vocalist of the Sleaford Mods, Jason Williamson, in the final episode.

Elon’s revolutionary idea of not throwing out fractions is the main economic reason why space exploration should be turned over to profit hungry corporations. There has to be a profit in it. Otherwise there’s no point in flying to space. Taking on board constructors with a history of people dying on them in consequence unsuccessful flights is also a great idea (not). These details can be decisive for the success of a mission. This documentary is nothing earth shattering for those who watch Live, but Netflix serves this up in 4K, nicely edited, with music from Interstellar, which is certainly a plus.

Yesterday I was in Apollo 10 1/2, today it’s the regular Apollo 11... Emmerich destroys a planet again in a similar way, but this time he does it a bit differently. Perhaps everything is a bit more laid back here and the destruction isn’t as opulent as in his previous disaster hits like 2012 or the climatic The Day After Tomorrow. This time round, the destruction somehow takes a back seat. The main things here are the journey to the center of the Moon and the mystery of the Dyson Sphere, entertaining mucking about involving a cloud and a decrepit space shuttle, family values and great lines. It’s a hair’s breadth worse than the other Emmerich movies to date, but it’s still good entertainment for two hours, during which your brain can get some rest.

Linklater’s highly autobiographical memories of childhood, mixed with dreams of traveling to the Moon. Nineteen-sixties Huston, where one of the most important acts of human kind began, seems like a great place to live. Jabbering, games and dreams of an amazing future. With the war raging on TV as a backdrop. The visual side of this project makes it a great watch where we get to see glimpses of the realities of the age, like the theme parks of the era, but also fragments of 2001: A Space Odyssey and other cult movies. Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Adventure is cutely naive and entertaining, even though it lack catharsis... makes landing look simple. This is mainly a story from an era that offered hope.

I’d say that with this sort of animated movie, the target audience is important. And in this case it is very little kids and perhaps people who send smileys instead of writing, because they think it’s a better or quicker way of expressing their feelings to click in 2 or 5 smileys. Colored pandas dance here. My two-year-old daughter liked it and it gave me some time to pay some bills or do my tax return, which I find more difficult if there is a Pixar movie playing. It serves its purpose.

A bit like Carry On Holiday, but this movie has a quality, satirical script, characters full of character and a semi-mystery plot that has you trying to guess who is going to kick the bucket. Mike White does an excellent job of capturing the imperfections of contemporary society. Aggrieved prima donas with too much money reveal what is important for today’s world and against this the lower classes are just trying to get by, giving birth at work, pretending to be something they aren’t and stealing. Every single acting performances are splendid, but the very best comes from Murray Bartlett as the hotel director, intoxicated by his guests. A great miniseries highlighting the failings of the contemporary world.

A hard and fast guided tour of Los Angeles and a movie record of exactly the same bank robbery as we see in "Grand Theft Auto V"... the one the ambulance... enriched by the recycled screenplay of the Danish original (thank god for the Scandinavians) about two brothers who need some money. In addition to the very effective camera flybys (guaranteed to make you barf if you watch this at the IMAX), Bay unexpectedly looks into the motivations and the character traits of all the main protagonists. It wrings out all it can from the emotions. Everyone has his place and is important in some way. But character development takes nothing away from this being a heavy-caliber Bay movie with cars crashing into obstacles and automatic weapons firing in the background: artists on the wrong side of the law playing a concert. Gyllenhaal savors playing the looney Danny to the very last drop, whether he is ordering flamingos for a birthday party or persuading his brother to help him rob a bank which this very day happens to have millions of dollars lying in the safe. And you must admit, the rest do a very good job of being extras. Balfe’s frenetic music is full on. Is this movie dumb? Yes. And is it fun? Yes. "You shouldn't have worn fucking sandals, dude."

A classic extra-corporeal experience with a frequent and almost unbelievably bizarre humor goes by surprisingly quickly and thanks to the Reynolds/Bateman acting duo, it works in principle. But the humor ranges from shit in the face thru licking fake tits to seriously good jokes that will have you rolling in the aisles, and so it all seems a bit inconsistent. The real trump card here is Olivia Wilde in the position every "full-blooded" guy would like to have her. A decent, bite-size snack.

Black Crab has a really promising introduction and a wonderfully gloomy, frozen Norwegian atmosphere to it. The visuals and music are great. The task is... to deliver a gift package across 100 miles of frozen ice performed by a gang of skaters on a suicide mission. Most of the time Noomi and the rest of them too are just fine. But the nearer it gets to the end, the worse the script gets. By the end it has become just a pure-blooded B-movie with a weird realization and overall ending. But it might have been enough to finish with the horses and I would have given it an extra star. Does anybody have an alternative version?

The world famous sex tape from the very beginnings of the internet had a fairly unsettled destiny. Pam & Tommy successfully oscillates between comedy, drama and often presents unbelievable situations from the lives of the three protagonists with almost documentary precision. Lily James is fantastic as Pamela and Sebastian Stan, in his role of a lifetime, almost steals the entire show. Rogen’s carpenter is simply another loser who you will feel sorry for and hate at the same time. Every detail of the nineties’ atmosphere is enthralling. The closer we get to the end, the more disturbing the media massage that destroyed this relationship between two people became. Ok, these people were pretty weird, but right for each other.
