    No Arnold, no jungle, no fun.

    The Amazing Spider-Man

    ★★★

    On the plus side:
    * Emma Stone'e husky voice
    * great Spiderman POV shots
    * Emma Stone'e husky voice
    * Rhys Ifans performance
    * the cops-to-lizard transformation was pretty cool
    * Emma Stone'e husky voice

    On the negative side:
    * some 3D CGI puppet fighting looked very fake
    * the movie as a whole is pretty redundant

    Why reboot a franchise after barely ten years? Well, the general cynicism of Hollywood to make big bucks, in a safe and predictable way

    The Electric State

    ★★

    Maybe I’m just a heartless prick, but the key premise of feeling empathy with a bunch of toy robots was lost to me. Underwhelming in so many aspects and (if the 320 M$ budget figure is true) a colossal waste of resources..

  • Gladiator II

    Gladiator II

    ★★★

    Ancient Rome can be the backdrop of high-stakes political shenanigans and visceral fighting. This movie has just enough of it. Add some computer-gamey CGI (and some really good ones) and a sometimes weird TV-like editing, and a protagonist with the charisma of a twig, and you have something moderately entertaining but not more.

    So much has been said and written, so let me just add that the movie features the cutest movie cat ever...

  • Nightcrawler

    Nightcrawler

    ★★★★½

    Jake Gyllenhaal looks like a Jim-Carrey-from-hell, a fast-talking hustler with bulging eyes, a volatile deeply disturbing (and disturbed) character. Two years ago I never thought I would say this, but in his role Jake Gyllenhaal scared the fucking shit out of me.
