    Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning

    ★★★★

    Started as a 2 during the first hiur due ti convoluted plots, stale cliche characterand stale action and worked its way up to a 4, with a SPECTACULAR train action sequence and an interesting plot progression (in its genre). What a ride

    The Case of Hana & Alice

    ★★★★

    At first the movie seemed cliche and a bit boring, bit soon it captivated me. Its honest, lifelike and full of heart. 
    You never know what happens next, but in the end it all ties together nicely, allby seeming a bit random. Just like life.
    Stylistically, its a weird mix of Anime tropes and live action, brought to life through rotoscoping.

    By the Sword

    ★★★★

    A hidden Gem that combines tropes of 80s action cinema, dancing Dramas and eastern Martial Arts Movies like Akura Kurosawas Samurai Epics. 

    The story (what happens) is about revenge, competition and the Male Ego.
    Its predictable, but allways entertaining, due to excellent pacing and good characters.

    What makes the movie stand out, is the Plot (Why it happens), which is driven by the two main characters. Their actions often surprised me, despite being a hardened veteran of all the Genres…
