13 Mini Reviews of Movies From 2023
Cocaine Bear (2023). Watch this with a group of friends, preferably intoxicated, because if you watch this by yourself you will inevitably wonder what you are doing with your life watching this. The film doesn’t amount to much but could … Continue reading
12 Mini Reviews of Films and TV Shows From 2022 and 2023
RRR (2022).A 3-hour Indian film? YES. It’s worth it. Already in the first hour there are a handful of scenes that make me want to call up a friend and say: “you’ve got to see this.” For some reason, this … Continue reading

Top 10 Films of 2022
Welcome to that time of the year to feel guilty! Guilty? Why yes, because I have not seen nearly enough of those artsy fartsy arthouse films that are supposed to be good, and not nearly enough of those subtle sensitive … Continue reading
13 Mini-Reviews of Movies and TV Series from 2022
— Movies — Bullet Train (2022). Is a fantastic funny action comedy, of the type that has assassins galore, witty dialogue, flashy action scenes and weird twists of fate. A whole bunch of assassins find themselves on a Japanese bullet … Continue reading
Two Films: Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) & Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) While this is one of the best Dracula adaptations, it is also one of the most ridiculous. The ridiculous red flowing-blood armour of Dracula in the 15th century, the ridiculous red sky as Harker travels to … Continue reading

12 Mini-Review of Films and Series from 2022
Lightyear (2022). Buzz Lightyear’s excellent adventure is unfortunately not all that inspiring. The film makes use of numerous tropes that are endlessly reused in these animated SF films. Much of it is aping Star Wars. Every action part and every … Continue reading

11 Mini-Reviews of Films and TV shows From 2022
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022). It is pretty amazing how much emotion this film could wring out of me while also being a crazy crazy rollercoaster of sci-fi craziness. This film engages in a pretty abstract sci-fi concept about … Continue reading
13 Mini-Reviews of Movies & Series from 2022
The Power of the Dog (2021). Nominated for 12 oscars. Is it really that good? No. But it is a decent western with a slow story that only becomes clear near the end in a very strong ending. Cumberbatch plays … Continue reading
11 Mini Reviews of Films and TV Shows from 2021 & 2022
Eternals (2021). A very long film about barely interesting superheroes. Some of the ideas and visuals are interesting if you don’t think about the story too much, but in the end it is just a randomised assortment of actors punching … Continue reading
