Incorrect, caustic to sarcastic humor, crazy situations, and above all, entertaining characters that quickly draw you into the world of illegal bookies and their clients with varying degrees of gambling addiction. If you ever had any illusions about the human species, you'll quickly forget them under the influence of…

The influence of Tim Burton is evident; at first glance, the slightly morbid and quirky artistic aspect of the project influenced by the Gothic style stands out. A major plus is the casting of the interesting and charismatic Jenna Ortega, who seems to have been born for the role of Wednesday; she perfectly fits the…

The initial reviews likened it to "something like Fargo, set in the middle of the Australian desert," and I would say the creative team aimed for something similar. However, The Tourist didn't come close to Fargo's model due to an underdeveloped screenplay, which, while it introduced some interesting ideas, failed to…

This Czech interpretation of true crime succeeded. The subject was easy to choose because the Stodola couple became legends of criminology years ago. Director Petr Hátle relied on a pair of actors who are fairly new. Jan Hájek has directed plenty of average things, and Lucie Žáčková is also a much more prominent…

The most mediocre and classic mainstream horror genre film that can possibly be made for the least discerning audience (teenage girls). On the one hand, I appreciate that the whole movie isn't just haunted by one boogeyman, but every single protagonist has their own demon and they surprisingly have great make-up…

The hallmark of the Brno television studio's work is, at best, blandness, and at worst, sheer despair. I don't know what it is, but as the saying goes, a fish rots from the head, so it's probably the leadership, but I really can't recall any title that would make me happy. In this case, too, the Brno team didn't…

After the previous provocative and engaging documentary from the same director, I had high expectations for seeing the same topic, especially since I'm interested in the Vietnamese community's stories. Unfortunately, disappointment set in because the documentary just skims the surface helplessly, and furthermore, its…

A somewhat forgotten medium-length television story based on Ernest Hemingway's literary work. It's very rewarding material that has been filmed repeatedly; among others, the first film by the famous Andrei Tarkovsky was based on it. The four stars are precisely for Hemingway; Ladislav Rychman didn't ruin anything…

The creators didn't exactly impress me with this opening episode — it was pretty awful. The Tatra Mountains were nice, and the fog helped create a decent atmosphere, but that's where the positives ended for me. As a crime drama, it didn't work. I was baffled by the disregard for basic investigative procedures and…

A classic and proven fairy tale theme with a significantly more modest budget and cast compared to the popular version starring Libuše Šafránková in the lead role. Vlasta Janečková's Cinderella is an unassuming studio production, but it stands out from the average and gray through charming songs; it's essentially a…
