3DD!3

The lapses in logic and the weird handling of the characters ruin the whole thing. What good is a great parallel with disgruntled migrants if it gets lost in the end? What's the point of perfectly timing the Russian border conflict with the war in Ukraine and planting the idea of Putin being a Skrull when whenever it could be potentially interesting everyone starts acting like idiots and knocking the whole thing down? And the CGI-packed finale is utterly pointless. It’s still watchable, but what a shame!

A focused Nolan, a perfect Cillian Murphy and a roaring Ludwig Göransson in a history lesson I've always wanted to see. The suffocating atmosphere, disturbed only by the celebration of the Trinity explosion, sticks to the palate, and at times you feel sick of what could have been. If Hitler hadn't shot himself, they would have dropped the nukes in Europe. Oppenheimer's life of communism, his wives, his nightmares, his friends and his enemies are all engulfing, and for three hours they don't let go, whether it's black and white conversations or the simulation of a nuclear explosion. The horrific ending with Einstein still resonates with me. “Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.”

An opulent fresco depicting the transformation of old Hollywood into new. I'm terribly sorry that I didn't catch it in the cinema, I wish I had when I think it was there for a measly week. Damien Chazelle pays deep tribute to what movies mean to people with a cynical comedy framed by weeping and mourning for the change that is the only certainty in the world. Margot Robbie is fantastic, she’s insufferable, but at the same time very genuine and worth of protection. The music is incredible, as only Chazelle and Hurwitz can deliver.

A suspenseful and quite grim Disney film where a little girl from an orphanage is forced to search for a large diamond in a narrow cave complex. A UN mouse intercepts a cry for help and sends a pair of volunteers on a mission to rescue her. I saw the sequel as a kid and had no idea about this one so I'm supplementing my education. The southern realism, the swamps and the psychotic bitch as the main villain are the best things about this variation on Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.

Hunt vs Hall 9000 round one. Basically a tie between the sheer technical brilliance and perfection of each action sequence with a dated and clunky script that is perhaps supposed to be a homage to the old (Roger Moore) Bond films or something. The golden rule is, stick to what you know and what you're good at, and Christopher McQuarrie overestimated himself this time and showed that he doesn't understand computers at all, otherwise he wouldn't have written such a piece of garbage. I'm not saying it doesn't work for the average person, it's just that for IT people it will be like scraping your fingernails on a blackboard in places. He can still salvage a few things in a sequel, but no one can take away his English-speaking Russian submariners and theatrical speeches about deleting oneself in cyberspace. He can still move and offer an interesting twist, but it's as if he's started to care about the Tom crap instead of the story. Otherwise, everything we're used to works. The actresses are fine. Hayley Atwell clicked with Cruise whether she's stuck on him in Rome or when they're talking on the train. Beautiful locations and beautiful shots. Tom is starting to look old though. One more episode and then it would be nice to kick off the Extreme Old Man series.

We don't like stomach growling and hunger. This easy-going Bear needs honey. My daughter and I had a great time. It's funny, quirky and quite imaginative.

The plot thickens, especially in the stories from The Wall, which are always the highlight of the series. Crazy ideas, bloody resolutions and buckets of black humour. The second season doesn’t pull many punches. Pupa waiting for Robocop is the GIF if the year!

A nostalgic adventure ride, but Mangold should have gone easier with some the unnecessary CGI and sped up the pace. In any case, Harrison Ford is the driving force and especially in the emotional scenes (the ending) he can grab you by the heart. Again, though, I had the overwhelming feeling that having multiple people writing the script was harmful. The opening chases are formally fine, but they are basically pointless – a shorter one would have been enough. The depression-ridden and aching Indy is so much better. Phoebe Waller-Bridge could pull an entire film or franchise on her own as a more grounded Lara Croft, she’s actually the only one who’s a match for Ford. Mads Mikkelsen is an unremarkable villain, he does know how to play one, but his Nazi scientist is not fully a villain, he’s more of a smart-ass. Completely untarnished, however, is the reputation of John Williams, whose timeless motif and playful themes will hold any true believer to the end credits.

A pure geyser of ideas. A bit weaker than Rick and Morty, but with a lot of potential in the stories on the wall. The plot twists and narrative turns are mostly brilliant. At times it rips off Rick's stories pretty blatantly, but the fact that we're mostly confined to a slowly dying planet Earth just keeps it grounded. Roiland is amazing again.

I am slowly starting to forget what happened where and who is family or enemy with whom and in what frame of mind we actually parted ways with him/her. It's still dumb, and now it's hideously unfinished. But it has Momoa, a brutally wisecracking, loud, mocking, laughing Momoa, a breath of fresh air in this overblown franchise. Everyone shows up: the dead, the alive, the squabbling, with newcomers Jack Reacher and Captain Marvel + Ratcatcher 2. The action is fiercer and stronger than last time. I'm still enjoying it immensely, but I'm looking forward to the end. There, the paraplegic Torreto will have to cope with a different type of life after waking up from anaesthesia.
