Saw that a few months back. It is sadly bad. It is a kind of spoof of '60s/'70s spy movie, but 99% of the effort is spent on posturing and in the retro visuals, so the plot is a total mess that lost me in double quick time. I am not a specialist of the type of movies it's inspired by, but even...

Not a big fan of this season. It feels like the characters were mainly victims of the plot instead of taking matters in their own hands and in the first third of the season a lot of time is spent on the hacker character who is aggressively stupid and unlikable with zero redeeming qualities. I...

I am surprised by the lukewarm reception of this season. I guess the mix is slightly different, with almost no cloak and dagger anymore, so if it's the aspect you enjoyed the most about the show, maybe you feel let down. Personally, I love negotiations and verbal jousting and it's basically...

I have a somewhat hot take: Elementary is a lot better than Sherlock.

It was released last year in my area. The very hard thing to do with this kind of mystery based plot where a number of things you don't understand happen and you and the main character are trying to connect the dots, is to find the right balance. Too obvious and its bland, too complicated and...

Saw it a few months back. My hopes are always high for this type of south korean movies and this one was just ok. Not great, not terrible.

The internet was not a thing when Tron was released, so all data that is on imdb has been recovered from archives like old issues of Variety. I am going to guess that overseas data is harder to get and compile that US data and therefor has not / almost not been added to imdb. That seems a much...

Historically, when shooting in film you just have no idea of what you have until the film is printed. So you hope the cinematographer did a good job measuring the light, the focus puller did not mess-up and the camera operator caught any and all problems peering through the viewfinder. If not...

Yeah.... I also saw that at the NIFFF. I don't want to be mean, since it's one of those film truly made on a shoestring budget that I am sure is a labor of love, but... let's just say that back in the '90s a group of people I know spent a week-end in a cabin and for shit giggles, since they had...

I am told the Switch 2 is the fastest selling console in history, but ok (I also don't get why).

Saw this in a film festival. It is well done, but I must admit it did not move me. Looking at the faces at the end of the screening, I was more the exception than the norm it seemed.

I am not a dentist, but what you are describing are crowns which are not done on healthy teeth. Veneers requires little to no alteration of the teeth to be applied.

Saw this in theater back then. It falls in the "almost great" category. There are some issues with the logic of the world, but the main problem I had with it was the dub. It's a french film and I saw it in french and the dub is some weird distanciated delivery throughout. It's probably a choice...

Based on a recent novel. Unrelated to very famous (and for my money, not very good) 1960 korean thriller of the same name, nor its 2010 remake.

I assume this is one of those compilation movie that is the last 3 episodes of a season and the first of the next, all with minor touch ups here and there and voilà?
