If I had to summarize in a sentence what I think makes “The chaser” a fantastic movie, it would sound something like: Simple concepts taken to new grounds and executed impeccably. The movie has a simple story premise and a simple action motif but it takes both story and action to exciting new grounds and […]
In the past couple of years, a trend has started rising which I’m a big fan of: Action-oriented spy movies, starring bad-ass women like Atomic Blonde (which I really enjoyed) and Red Sparrow (which I didn’t enjoy as much). They offered something different in story-telling, style, and action, in a sea of same-looking blockbusters, with […]
After the disappointing results of “Polar”, and having been excited for a good gory action movie, I decided to scan my long list for anything that would match that description, and then I stumbled upon it: “The night comes for us” starring the guys who worked on “The Raid” and “The Raid 2”, two of […]
Most horror movies deal with the unknown; sometimes that manifests as ghosts or monsters, other times its zombies or supernatural entities. The best ones, though, deal with the unknown regarding humans; the brutality of human nature, what we would do to protect what is dearest to us, our psychology, the construct of our society and […]
The Yellow Sea is a hard movie to recommend; directed by Hong-Jin Na, the second offering from the director of The Chaser, The Yellow Sea is a weird mix of multiple genres that should not work as well together, yet not only they do, but it is in theory an improvement from The Chaser in […]

This discussion will contain spoilers for Infinity Wars; a lot of aspects of the movie will be spoiled. I highly recommend seeing the movie and then return to the article. Final warning, spoilers will start immediately. First of all, I’ll address the minor problems I have with the movie. To start with, the structure of […]
The title is a genuine question I’ve been struggling with since I saw the movie last night, and I’m not baffled by the concept or the genre; I’m simply pondering the most easily solvable dilemma when it comes to movies: Is it good or bad? I’m not talking about other people, fans of the series, […]
These are movies that I watched in 2019, but did not satisfy my demands and tastes; that doesn’t mean these movies are bad, but it means that I wished I liked them more. Maybe the history of their creative stuff made me expect better results, or the premise, visual style, and/or first impression made me […]
Six “nearly there” movies: These are movies that were really close into making it on my 10 movies of the year list, but for some reason did not make the cut, but were good enough that I feel bad not mentioning them and so I created this list. El Camino: A Breaking Bad movie: Breaking […]
