Very wacky and with a bold humour that is very close to my heart. On the plus side, the casting is great, some of the actors were unrecognizable (Tom Cruise wtf? ! I also had a problem with the black Robert Downey Jr.), the plot is fine and fresh, the lines are crazy and Ben Stiller steals the whole movie for himself, after all, he directs it. I believe it was incredibly fun to make. Great line from the movie: “I'll cradle the balls, stroke the shaft, work the pipe, and swallow the gravy. Get it over here, buddy. Let's do this.”

When I compare it to American Sniper and Lone Survivor, Green Zone comes out pretty bland. I like Matt Damon, but he couldn't save the film in my eyes. The action is rather sparse and uninteresting, the finale in the dark rather annoyed me, and overall it tends to deal with political and other uninteresting stuff for me. Unfortunately I didn't have much fun, but the technical side was decent. 60%

It's a pity the film isn't from 1999, otherwise I would have said it’s another example of the golden thrillers of the 90s. The cast is fabulous, the final twist is okay, I wouldn't put my hand in the fire for it, even though I suspected it. I enjoyed the courtroom scene and the nicely building tension. I love these films. 75%.

An average abduction thriller with fine acting and an excellent final shootout. Otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary. 60%

A very powerful film. It's a shame that the film didn't grab me until halfway through the second half, but I still had an uneasy feeling watching it. Although the film is not very audience-friendly, I can't say that I had a great time, it has a slower pace, perverse scenes, odd lines, unlikeable actors and their behaviour. But there were two scenes at the end made threw me off quite a bit: a very sick dance that almost made me take a pill, and then the dumbbell scene, which hurt even me. A strange, strange film, but it has something to it. 65%

I've had Chimères on my radar for a long time and more or less got what I expected. An admirable performance for the Swiss, also you have to take into account that Chimères is the only representative of the Vampire genre this year. The film has a slower pace, but it builds up decently towards the end and shows us some nice gore scenes (although they could have pushed the envelope more, the means were obviously there), anyway I'm glad to finally see something darker from the vampire genre, lately it's only been artsy introspective crap like Only Lovers Left Alive, Byzantium, and What We Do in the Shadows. What can we do, there probably won't be another 30 Days of Night. 65%

It wasn't bad. The Stranger is a properly depressing, bleak and atmospheric little horror film, with an interesting infectious idea. The downside is the slower pace and not fully exploiting the potential of the infection, the blood is also very sparse, which is a shame because the film is shot decently even with decent make-up effects (the burns). I wasn't bored, but it is unfortunately nothing very noteworthy. 55%

Jurassic World made me about as happy as a child opening a Christmas present. Jurassic World is a brilliantly conceived blockbuster (beautiful attractions), I wish I could visit a similar park. The dinosaurs are palpably and vividly rendered and the intelligent Indominus Rex perhaps the biggest bad ass creature in film ever, its intelligence in particular was breathtaking to watch (camouflage, sensor obfuscation, GPS removal). Chris Pratt really is the new Harrison Ford, a proper hero and the role of Indiana Jones will suit him very well. I also praise the very solid pacing, the perfect finale that takes your breath away, the rather gnarly deaths for a PG-13 movie, and the great paced suspense with working empathy. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this film has no heart, can't have fun, and should give up movies for good. 100%

The discovery of the Year. The best mix of comedy and action in the last decade with very solid acting. I haven't followed Melissa Mccarthy much, but here she proves she's really funny and a great actress. Jude Law is solid as always, Rose Byrne incredibly attractive but also a typical woman, and the absolute biggest surprise is Jason Statham, who steals the whole movie for himself, giving what is probably the performance of his life, completely different from the actor we know him to be (he has a tough guy lines, but he's really more of a doofus and everything comes off as beautifully ironic). I have to praise the action too, not only are the fights almost uncut, the camera rounds everything up nicely from a distance and there is no shortage of perfect choreography and decent moves like in wrestling, which looked admirable in Melissa's performance, the R-rating also adds a nice touch in places. So this is a very entertaining, stylish, polished and elegant spy comedy with lots of memorable scenes (the scene where Statham has a monologue explaining why he is the best agent in the world is the greatest rush of wordplay I have ever seen). Great stuff with unconventional and off-the-wall humor that will tickle the guts of even the introverts. 95%

A solid and coherent gangster movie. Maybe not very attractive at first glance due to the long running time, but the trio of Ridley Scott, Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe is like clockwork and the entertainment was taken care of. Great story, sharp lines, killing, brutality, an interesting ending. I'm very satisfied. 80%
