3DD!3

Fantastic production design, likeable characters. It's one of those deus ex machina narratives without a major climax, but it's great as a diversion.

This is what happens when you don’t have a tough Jack Bauer, but a cute Maggie Q instead. It seems a bit weird having Kiefer as a peace-loving president, but from time to time we get a glimpse of him as we know and love him. And he sets everybody straight.

A serene (naive) old-fashioned crime movie with well-acted characters and perfect action. Berg and WahlBerg quickly put together this Boston-style Jack Reacher for Netflix and with great verve. Although the shaky screenplay is a little disappointing, Spenser gives us a generous portion of good mood.

A mix of Edge of Tomorrow, Running Man and Takeshi’s Castle. The future where you pay rent for a wife and child is great. I have to get my daughter a music package, too.

A western pretending to be a dirty sci-fi flick set on a mining base on Io. In his role as a stubborn cop investigating strange cases of suicide that the evil corporation seems to have a hand in, Connery delivers one clever line after another. But the best is Frances Sternhagen as a cynical doctor with an inclination toward alcoholism. The laughable “action" climax shows just how much the genre has changed over the years.

A 90s routine picture with an appallingly awful storyline about relationships, with people who tend to explode amusingly. It doesn’t have a shred of logic, because what woman in her right mind would want to leave Brosnan for somebody with a face like that - senator or not. The explosive water idea is great: they should do a remake.

I read it, so I know. The creators played around a bit with the overall atmosphere, giving a True Detective feel to it. And King has no problem with the mysterious and he can easily go overboard with bugaboos. The cast is excellent so far, in particular the ambiguous Bateman.

This resurrection of Universal Soldier for the new millennium didn’t really work. But it’s a good movie to watch while cooking Sunday lunch. Mr. Diesel does his very best and finally we can see him in a slightly different situation (other than sitting in a car), but he chose an appalling screenplay for it. The original idea isn’t bad, but the uninspired end product with the crucial twist of the movie given away in the trailer was not the best solution. Maybe next time!

I think this would make a cool video game. A pumped-up, slightly B-movie-ish sci-fi horror flick set in the Mariana Trench, where there isn’t much time for thinking. Because of that, however, the protagonists unfortunately have absolutely no character basis, so the viewer doesn’t really care that much when they kick the bucket. And that’s a bit of a shame. Stewart’s acting is actually really good and just a few brief flashbacks would have been enough to make the relationship between her and the captain a little deeper or something. The production design and visual effects are otherwise first-class; the station, the costumes and even Cthulhu look seriously good.

A spectacular cast in an unconventional western. The quest for the emperor’s sword/stolen gold makes Mifune and Bronson involuntary partners in the hunt for the sleazy bad guy in the form of Alain Delon, and the sharp viewer can immediately tell where the makers of Once Upon a Time in the East got their ideas from. It’s true that the humor in this movie is more cynical, but the one-liners are all the better for it. For anyone who’s ever played Red Dead Redemption II, this is like putting on a pair of old, comfy shoes again. If I’m cooking dinner, you’ll go hungry and you'll hurt.
