Alien: Romulus (2024)
The worst movie scene of the decade, the elevator teleport (Golden Raspberry Award is coming)
Space sci-fi with a complex audience introduction to the world of Alien. Romulus suffers the most from the fact that Fede Alvarez tried to make an Alien movie for all ages, but in the finale it fails to satisfy any of them. While for the young audience, except for the last half hour, there is absolutely zero action and the story is not interesting, for people in their fifties who have enjoyed first two movies in the cinema, it is not interesting to watch a bunch of poorly written, immature and over-smart teenagers. It should be noted that, apart from the fact that the viewer doesn't have a single reason to cheer for the people in the film or to wish that any of the characters survive. Except for the visual effects Alien: Romulus has nothing at all and can't be recommended to any fan of the series. At most, someone who hasn't seen any of the Alien movie and doesn't want to spend a lot of time watching the other ones to understand all the connections that are summarized here in two hours. The revival of the series as in the case of Predator and his Prey is not happening here. Two stars for the action-packed last thirty minutes. Romulus wins at least the top prize for the worst movie scene of the decade, the elevator teleport (Golden Raspberry Award is coming). The biggest disappointment of the year.
Time Bandits (2024)
A total infantile disaster!
Time Bandits is an infantile series, inspired by Terry Gilliam's film of the same name, about a would-be fun exploration of the history of the world, whose guides are the obnoxious bookish nerd, Kevin (Kal-El Tuck), and a not-so-savvy thieving band of officials from the Ministry of Flora. Time Bandits is, in terms of quality, a less successful variation on the British series Horrible Histories with the feeling of last year's serial Percy Jackson and the Olympians. After the first episode, I didn´t believe that it would be possible to sink even deeper, but the second episode confirmed to me that I am not infallible as a person. I really can't recommend this to absolutely anyone, maybe only Waititi himself. So sad =(.
The Watchers (2024)
Copy of M. Night Shyamalan movies, which is still unpolished, less experienced and timid on an experimental level
Mythological soft horror, just the way we like it at Slyamalan family. Full-lenght debut from daughter of the more famous father Manoj. The movie itself doesn't lack the family's signature, but it completely lacks the tension that is necessary for a high quality work. In the end, everything is traditionally revealed to the audience, and it's a great pity that perhaps Ishana didn't find her own style here, where she wouldn't tell everything in terms of story and something would remain a secret, for the viewer's own interpretation. In short, this is how we got a copy of Manoj, which is still unpolished, less experienced and timid on an experimental level. If you like M. Night Shyamalan movies, Watchers won't offend you, if not, avoid them, because you will get a worse experience here.
Challengers (2024)
A total masterpiece that will soon gain cult status
Luca Guadagnino made one of the absolute best relationship sport dramas in the history of cinema, which is very unique, cruelly funny and elaborated to the smallest details, which connect beautifully with the final scene of the film. Challengers are an unprecedentedly playful sexy film about lost and rediscovered love for innocent life, love, friendship and self-actualization. Its exceptional qualities are supported by the excellent casting of Francine Maisler, the acting performances of the trio Zendaya - Mike Faist - Josh O'Connor, perfect debut screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes and the breathtaking cinematography of Sayombhu Mukdeeprom. Challengers are simply an enthralling cinematic gem that, in my opinion, no other work will surpass in 2024. A total masterpiece that will soon gain cult status. Briliant movie!
A mame co sme chceli (2023)
Extraordinary performance by Rachel Kramer
A co-produced Slovak-Canadian dramedy, pointing out the issue of an individual´s membership in the StB and the subsequent impact on his family. The film combines a serious topic with the division of Czechoslovakia into two separate states, the peaceful process of which the other states of the world look at in shock and give it as inspiration. The movies steals for itself a completely charming, charismatic and all the other actors overshadowing Rachel Kramer with American-Canadian roots as Charlie McKenzie. If only for the reason of seeing the first feature film of this emerging global film star, I recommend going to see Michal Kunes Kovac´s film in the cinema, where he will literally captivate you with her performance.
Spaceman (2024)
Infinite love as the essence of life
Cosmonaut Jakub Procházka's spectacular journey through the space galaxies in pursuit of self-knowledge, into the depths of his soul, into the depths of his relationship with his wife Lenka. A journey to reveal reality, to cleanse the soul and to accept responsibility for one's actions. This visceral and heart-wrenching spectacle is supported by the exceptional performances of Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan, who gave the film an incredible amount of humanity. Spaceman is one of the most remarkable pictures of world cinema with a significant Czech footprint, in which endless love without the limits of mortality is the true essence of life. Get your tissues ready, Adam Sandler will make you cry and tear you apart.
Lift (2024)
A visually pleasant and modern The Italian Job with the bad script
The visually pleasant and modern espionage The Italian Job, which the director of the film, F. Gary Gray, shot more than twenty years ago. Although the film tries to make the story attractive by original incorporation of modern technologies, it does so at the expense of the script and does not even touch the silencers of the MINI Coopers in The Italian Job. Kevin Hart's perfectly balanced team, which does not lack any gender, race or religion, is especially undermined by the affected acting Gugu Mbatha-Raw as the Interpol agent, Abby. If you like movies of a similar style, I recommend choosing instead Ocean´s Eleven trilogy, Now You See Me, or mentioned at the beginning The Italian Job, here you will be amazed only by the scenery of beautiful Venice, do not expect more sophisticated entertainment.
Poor Things (2023)
TOP10 movie of ALL TIME
Yorgos Lanthimos filmed an ode to human life in the most innocent possible form, accompanied by Emma Stone in the role of free-spirited Bella. On her journey to self-discovery, the viewer is faced with the most diverse joys and sorrows of human existence. The magical naivety and imperfect sensorimotor skills of the main actress, combined with the random presentation of the unique creations of Willem Dafoe in the role of Dr. Godwin Baxter, provide the audience with a direct and unrelenting joyful vibration that unwittingly and with a regular cadence creates a smile on his face. Lanthimos masterpiece took a part of my heart, which it appropriated forever. Poor Things has won the ultimate position in my top 10 movie of all time. Heartiest recommendation to all 17+ viewers.
Good Grief (2023)
Unorthodox romantic drama
Have you ever experienced the loss of your partner in your life? Have you tried to find fault with others in order to better cope with the situation? How much did your friends help you get through this stage in your life, and how important were they to you during this time? Is there a time frame for how long a person should grieve a loss? These are the questions you will ask yourself while watching Good Grief. Dan Levy's directorial debut, in which he has put a significant part of his story, is an unorthodox romantic drama that touches closely on the themes of love, grief, forgiveness, reconciliation and new beginnings.
