3DD!3

Either this is a gangster movie disguised as a relaxing to meditative re-modeling of life... or it’s the other way round? For some god-forsaken reason, four detectives from Copenhagen open a village pub. Excellently acted characters with an explanatory flashback into their youth makes a perfect sauce leading to a powerful lesson which, despite being a lie,you really want to believe. Jensen knows how to construct stories in an original, down-to-earth and humorous way. The hunter with the machine gun during the finale rocks. You like staring?... Big, fat cow.

A cynical parody on murder stories, set in the decadent world of modern art. These picky, snobbish caricatures headed by Gyllenhaal die deserved deaths and it’s quite fun to watch. Gilroy isn’t making a horror here and doesn’t employ any cheap things to shock you, it’s just more of an unnerving movie. Perhaps he is making up for a trauma of childhood when he was told that he’ll never be an artist when he got an F in Art. I wouldn’t look for any deeper meaning here.

The tuk tuk is terribly sidelined. That was the only thing that made the trailer any good. Raya is a screenplay mishmash trying so hard to be original, but luckily it remains fundamentally the classic Disney movie that we know and love. An refreshing world full of colors, a funny gang and an ending that looks like it came straight out of Infinity War/Endgame.

A super topic, solid acting and wobbly directing. The potential of the depicted world is huge and it’s a shame that it’s not put to full use. Unfortunately you can see that it was reedited and reshot. The ending is particularly shoddy. It definitely doesn’t deserve a complete rejection even though I’d like to see #releasethelimancut, Chaos Walking is too intriguing for that. I’ll try the books.

By this axe I rule! A perfect movie for kids, quoting from old Verne books. The story combines Japanese cartoons from the sixties with the screenplay for Batman v Superman (spoiler: instead of Martha there is a flashy: "I don’t give a shit…"). Both fights are a feast for the eyes. Inventive, dynamic and beautifully filmed. This calls for a movie theater. Whether it is the lights of Hong Kong or paddling in the water, the action looks like a wet dream of all (once child) monster movies fans. Damn the physics and the listless characters. You don’t go to the theater to see a movie like this because of the logic. To the movie theater. Sniff. Whiskey is a savior. I’ll have another...

A morality piece about the harmfulness of the social networks combined with a horror about killer bees. Every hater should see it. The screen play works excellently with the unraveling of the facts …that’s impossible… it’s got military-grade encryption…oh, wait a minute! Maybe it should have got tougher at the end, #the banners were crying out for more response. Kelly Macdonald’s brutal Scottish accent, who is perfect for the role of cynical cop, is music to my ears. See?

Excellently done retro-atmosphere combined with a first prototype Matrix (the Paradise Matrix that Agent Smith kept enthusing about). The lesbian storyline kind of spices up this classic romantic movie with a happy ending par excellence. And this season is just what this series needed after all those depressing horrors.

In these travelogues, incompetency provides the drama while the chosen route allows you to wonder over the (un)worldly beauty all around. The added value here are the Trabant "cars" and Little Mole, who makes a guest appearance. But seriously, a laid-back and well made road trip. The beautiful exteriors dominated by the salt plain and Machu Picchu, the mature domestic lines and well, of course, the thirst for adventure. Beautiful work.

Watching it with my daughter makes me nostalgic. It has the same kind of gags I loved in The Roadrunner. A pinch of violence for a new generation.

An uncompromising, sprawling comic book colossus. This time, Snyder arranged for the white collars to fail big time. The movie isn’t perfect, a little creaky here and there (Ezra Miller is awful in the role of Flash), but as a whole it works great. The dark tone is consistent with the two preceding pictures: a somber atmosphere, good character motivation and the action scenes are superb. Mainly, the baddies are not there just for a decoration, but there are motives for their behavior. Theatrical soliloquies, heroic entrances, a thunderous soundtrack. I’m happy. Maybe HBO will pay for the sequel too.
