Piranha 3DD (2012) - Rated 01 Oct 2025
Atrocious. Repulsive. Pornographic. One of the worst films I've ever seen.

Piranha (1995) - Rated 30 Sep 2025
An almost verbatim remake of the original 1978 Piranha, with evidently a smaller "for TV" budget, actors who don't always manage to suspend disbelief (i.e. poor acting), and rehashing of some scenes from the original. Entertaining enough I guess, but if you watch the original there's no point in wasting time with this one.

Piranha Part Two: The Spawning (1982) - Rated 26 Sep 2025
The best James Cameron film. After seeing all 5 films, hands down this is the best one in the series. Yeh sure, the flying piranhas are laugh-out-loud ridiculous. It is over-the-top. Gets sillier and sillier in the latter half. But the characters here are just super nice and interesting people to hang around with, each with their own vibe, some eccentric, but all of them real and believable. The first half was genuinely entertaining to watch.

La belle verte (1996) - Rated 22 Sep 2025
This was hilarious. Even more potent and striking from a 2025 perspective. The satire is phenomenal: Earth "still using money", all the stomach problems, the materialism and consumerism, the severing of the ties between people, nature and the God-given order of things. The writing - ever so original. The acting - inspired and mesmerising. If it wasn't for a certain blasphemous scene with our Lord, Creator and Saviour Jesus Christ (albeit executed light-heartedly), would've been perfect.

Earth (1930) - Rated 20 Sep 2025
The best one in Dovzhenko's trilogy. Consistent pace-wise and it has excellent artistic and authorial merit: the opening and closing shots, the "dancing" scene, the natural and agricultural sequences, the close-ups. Popov's music on the new version is awesome. Alas I can't give it more, because of its overtly atheistic and anti-Christian message. Vassily's death is portrayed as a Messianic endeavor with all the religious dogmas satanically stolen and misused: suffering, redemption, salvation.

Piranha (1978) - Rated 19 Sep 2025
The first half was quite decent and intriguing, with all the regular tropes of the genre: a terrible secret with its guardian, initial unbelief, racing against the clock. Some shocking scenes in the first half, notably the elderly guy at the river and the boy on the canoe. The latter half is decently executed too, but alas we've been overly-saturated with the genre, therefore the albeit excellently shot scenes at the lakes (the kids' and the young adults' parties), are not as striking anymore.

Dakota Bound (2001) - Rated 19 Sep 2025
Pretty much soft-core porn with attempts at a sci-fi post-apocalyptic plot and world-building, and no attempts at acting. Yes, it is very erotic and it sparks the passions. So avoid it, lest you open the door for sinning sexually by the demonic tempting powers that be. May God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, have mercy on all of us, sinners.

The Warrior and the Sorceress (1984) - Rated 18 Sep 2025
A bizarre and of course a low budget attempt at the sword & sorcery genre, with a quite literal name for it. The film takes place on pretty much one set. It is quite theatrical at parts with over-acting and over-emphasis on facial expressions and emotion. I can't take David Carradine too seriously as the macho hero to be frank, but an anti-hero - sure, but still not fully convincing. There is a demonic scene with a 4-breasted succubus, horrible. And a gorgeous Maria Socas, may God rest her soul.

Arsenal (1928) - Rated 16 Sep 2025
Starting Dovzhenko's trilogy, I thought that Zvenigora would be the film I liked the least in the series, due to its severe extravagant and expressionist symbolism, delving into and mixing reality with the mythical, different timelines and points of view. Alas Arsenal had an even lesser grip on me. Visually it is once again very expressive with a multitude of striking shots and sequences, particularly the portrayal of poverty and desolation. But the communist uprising plot didn't grab me.

Forbidden World (1982) - Rated 15 Sep 2025
That was awesome. Alien meets The Thing. With men walking in proper space suits and uniforms, while the women stroll around barefoot with their pajamas on, while a killer alien is loose, because why not. Super entertaining with some excellent practical effects and acting. From half the cast, that is. The doctor was over-the-top, while one of the ladies was under-the-top. If such an expression even exists. The scene with the ladies chatting with the alien, LOL.
