Casey is attacked at random on the street and enlists in a local dojo led by a charismatic and mysterious Sensei in an effort to learn how to defend himself. What he uncovers is a sinister world of fraternity, violence and hypermasculinity and a woman fighting for her place in it.

Almost the kind of black comedy I like, which doesn’t go as smooth as I want to. The director got over-creative and lost the control a bit. You can also…

Earl Stone, a man in his eighties, is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does so well that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates.

It’s very precisely done and tops many action movies of our times, but Gran Torino, a similar movie from Eastwood, is a little better.

Clairvoyant femme fatale, Nicola Six has been living with a dark premonition of her impending death by murder. She begins a tangled love affair with three uniquely different men—one of whom she knows will be her murderer.

Don’t get mistaken from the trailer, this is not the movie you expect. It’s technically an erotic thriller but has a sad story in a second plan. Sometimes the movie…

Drama

A pastor of a small church in upstate New York starts to spiral out of control after a soul-shaking encounter with an unstable environmental activist and his pregnant wife.

In a word – mature. The pace is so slow that most directors would fail, but this movie delivers. Ethan Hawke didn’t just act well; he is a perfect fit…

The story of the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother to convince his billionaire grandfather Jean Paul Getty to pay the ransom.

A tasty underrated piece from Ridley Scott. My experience with his movies is a mixed bag. Some are absolute clichés, and some are quality movies, but never going too far…

Molly Bloom, a young skier and former Olympic hopeful becomes a successful entrepreneur (and a target of an FBI investigation) when she establishes a high-stakes, international poker game.

Molly‘s Game isn‘t as wicked as Gerald‘s, but not less interesting. One of these big titles that stands up for its name. There is a right balance between Hollywood’s entertainment…

When her husband’s sex game goes wrong, Jessie (who is handcuffed to a bed in a remote lake house) faces warped visions, dark secrets and a dire choice.

After the beginning, I was up for an entertaining and tasty horror movie, but ended up with slow-burning psychological thriller. And it was good. It has some cheap scares and…

Dr. Steven Murphy is a renowned cardiovascular surgeon who presides over a spotless household with his wife and two children. Lurking at the margins of his idyllic suburban existence is Martin, a fatherless teen who insinuates himself into the doctor’s life in gradually unsettling ways.

A masterclass on how to mix absurd with horror. It has some bits of weird classical music which fits the movie’s atmosphere exceptionally well (the elevator scene literally gave me…

Verena is a nurse who arrives at an old mansion in Italy to help a young boy who has fallen silent since the sudden passing of his mother.

Nothing fancy in the script, but I like these atmospheric mystery movies. This one is also beautifully shot.

In Justine’s family everyone is a vet and a vegetarian. At 16, she’s a gifted teen ready to take on her first year in vet school, where her older sister also studies. There, she gets no time to settle: hazing starts right away. Justine is forced to eat raw meat for the first time in her life. Unexpected consequences emerge as her true self begins to form.

I find myself liking modern French cinema more and more. Here is an obscure horror from the first time director and it’s good! It has a unique absorbing atmosphere, great…
