Stardust (2007) - Rated 23 Sep 2025
"A cute, watchable fantasy, but quickly forgotten. The characters and their worlds are somewhat well done, but the execution that feels like is targeted at teenagers, seems a bit silly. Likable but shallow, fun but not extraordinary. Probably wouldn't watch it again but was happy to see it."
Gran Torino (2008) - Rated 22 Sep 2025
"A re-watch from god knows when, that's what you get if you don't rate immediately. Loved racist Eastwood, though it seemed more racist towards Asians than blacks, couldn't hear the word 'nigger', which was a bit unbalanced. Other than that a cute American story, only country where you can make a cute suburb story with gangs and racism and shootings and guns etc. Incredible country! Oh, the little kid's acting was absolutely cringe. But Eastwood's was a masterpiece."
Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) - Rated 18 Sep 2025
"Love it when the drama isn't too dramatic. Feels like our emotions have been overplayed once you see a gentle movie like this. It encapsulates quite well the dynamics of raising genius and parenthood decisions. Still, the film moves a bit slow. If you are into chess and think that 90s films are comfortable and bring warmth inside you, then it should definitely be on your list. If one of these isn't checkmarked, you should probably see it anyway. Not a masterpiece, but a very decent movie."
Asteroid City (2023) - Rated 17 Sep 2025
"Did I have too much of Wes in my life? Am I getting old? Is Wes getting old? It was a bit hard to enjoy this one as it feels it's like a parody of his works. Overly overdone. I mean it's not a bad film, but there is freshness missing. With this themes (desert, aliens, area 51, nuclear bomb tests, the 50s...) I expected so much more, but was quite disappointed in the end. Let's not write him off yet, but this was not a usual Anderson experience! Would maybe watch again - on some kind of drugs."
Darkest Hour (2017) - Rated 17 Sep 2025
"Well Oldman does a terrific job! Couldn't even recognize him. As for the film, it's an entertaining biopic but I am too ignorant on British WW2 to understand if this is a nicely covered propaganda or accurate account of happenings at the time. I enjoyed it, but always with this doubt at the back of my head. Churchill seems to be an entertaining and strong character, no doubt about that. It was nice to learn about Operation Dynamo, Dunkirk etc. However, to be truly spectacular - it needs more."
High Plains Drifter (1973) - Rated 16 Sep 2025
"A true product of its time. Starts with a rape scene that would send people in CaNcEl mode immediately nowadays. A story of double revenge, first on the townsmen who betrayed the outlaws, and then on the outlaws. Very funky for a western film. It's a masterpiece in story development and once you get to the end it seems like the trip has been longer than it actually was. Quite amazing. Still can't decide if The Stranger is The Devil or Duncan The Sheriff. A must watch!"
Lawrence of Arabia (1962) - Rated 15 Sep 2025
"A journey, a remarkable, magnificent journey! The cinematography is absolutely wonderful, makes one lust for the dry, yellow desert. O'Tool and the whole cast is brilliant. I am not sure how historically correct his film is, but it sure makes you wonder about the Arab people and how it came to be it all. This is an epic film, but in the best kind of sense. A journey of one man to madness, and a birth of peoples. Best watched on a huge screen like home cinema."
The Running Man (1987) - Rated 13 Sep 2025
"This is a relic from another era. Imagine seeing this in the movies back in the late 80's as a kid. Hard to rate it objectively, because objectively it sucks ass, but the watching experience is still just amazing - the aesthetics, the mood, the silliness of it all. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also does. A classic that needs to be watched, but not rewatched!"
Christine (1983) - Rated 12 Sep 2025
"Hell of a car, Christine! A she, too. This 80's Stephen King adaption doesn't go down in history as an ultimate masterpiece, but nevertheless it's a comfy movie from some other, more simple times. The car repairing itself scene is legendary and how they did it itself is something everyone should look into. Boldly absurd, executed just well enough to be enjoyable. Same category as Spielberg's Duel, but a lesser film overall. A classic that just needs to be watched!"
The Flash (2023) - Rated 11 Sep 2025
"While not perfect, it was pretty fun. Definitely not one of those highest quality comic action films, but some concepts were fun to explore - the multiverses, the alternate superheroes etc. Would not watch it again but it needs to be watched by anyone remotely interested in the genre."
