The Idea of You (2024)
Anne Hathaway does a fantastic job!
A beautiful, simple story about love between two souls. When it comes right down to it, regardless of age, all that souls can give each other is love. Both actors do a great job, but Anne Hathaway is really superb - and she is still very beautiful, easy on the eyes as they say. A beautiful, simple story about love between two souls.

Masters of the Air (2024)
Very effective
Very effective depiction of the hell those young pilots had to go through, with death staring them in the eye every time they went out on a mission. The movie cannot give you the smells, like the smell of leather and gasoline which sticks to your hands after removing the gloves. The actual fear when your plane gets hit. The freezing cold. The confusion. The noise. But the makers of this movie and the special effects team give it a good try.

Reptile (2023)
Benicio del toro does a superb job
Benicio del toro carries this movie beautifully. He is what you'd call a minimalist actor - but oh so effective. He turns the movie from a regular detective story to somehing unique and interesting simply with the force of his personality. Benicio del toro carries this movie beautifully.

Drops of God (2023)
Excellent drama, intelligent script
I did not think good movies could be made these days. But this series is one of the best I've ever watched! It has everything: love, intrigue, betrayal, revenge... No attempts to be politically correct. Just a simple fascinating and honest human story. You'll love it. This series is one of the best I've ever watched!

Interceptor (2022)
Could be a better movie with different casting
Netflix tries too hard to be woke and it spoils the story; all the bad guys are American white people (all men, one woman, wow!) the president is a white woman, the secretary is black, the main characters are both immigrants or descendants of immigrants, and they are saving America against the white American villains, no less. Oh, and "patriot" is now a dirty word. One bad guy says at some point: I am not a murderer, I'm a patriot!... Skip.
The 2nd (2020)
Don't bother. Trash.
Don't bother. Trash. Very political and tasteless. The script must have been written by a 6 year old. Don't waste your time on this one. No excuse for tastelessness.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Could have worked
This movie could have worked if the script did not try so hard to be "woke" and to be funny. It will appeal to like-minded individuals, no doubt, but a few changes and a more "finger on the pulse" direction would have made this movie a lot better.
Outlander (2014)
Seasons 5 and 6 are boring! The plot streches and streches...
The first 5 seasons were aces. Then they started stretching the plot, and stretching, and stretching... Fillers, basically - well-filmed and beautiful shots, but boring! I had to watch it in pieces - 5 minutes at a time.
In the Dark (2019)
Boring
Starts OK in the first episodes, but then becomes too woke and boring. Too much victim mentality on one hand and too much "macho" attitude on the part of a blind woman - really?
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Tries too hard to be "woke"
Bankrupt imagination. Trying too hard to be "woke" - all the bad guys are white men. The good guys are black or Latin. Law enforcement individuals are now the new criminals. Seven of nine totally misused. Above all: Boring!
The Contractor (2022)
Nice action movie
Chris Pine is, as always, excellent, and all actors do a decent job. All in all, not a bad action movie with good directing. The best you can do with an average script.
Le bureau des légendes (2015)
They changed directors in the last two episodes of season 5
They changed directors in the last two episodes of season 5. Unfortunate. I have a simple recommendation: If you haven't watched it yet, skip the second half of the last session of season 5, when it starts getting really weird. You'll thank me. Not sure what that guy had in mind to leave us with such a bad taste in our mouth.
Entangled (2019)
Dialogues need to be rewritten pronto
Who writes these scripts these days? 12 year olds? No real people talk or behave like this. Also, the editing is very amateurish and breaks the momentum of the plot continuously. With good editing and some dialogue elimination or re-filming, this can - maybe - be saved.
Scenes from a Marriage (2021)
Too cerebral/talketive
People who engage in too much self-analysis are like amateurs taking radios apart to discover why they don't like the program. The mind can be a great servant, but it makes for a lousy master.
