“Since I had seen so far all the movies directed by Guillermo Del Toro, of course, I had to see his last directorial effort at some point, especially since it had once again received some solid reviews. Everybody noticed that, for the 1st time of his career, Del Toro finally handled a fairly realisti” read more
“I didn’t care much for ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ but, since it was apparently fairly successful at the box-office, they had to come up with a sequel and, since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, I did see the older version starring Peter Ust” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, the Americans have apparently always been fascinated the Lizzie Borden true crime story since th” read more
“Since I’m a huge fan of Pixar and since this movie had received some really good reviews, I was seriously eager to check it out.

Notes: Once again, Pixar didn’t disappoint, that’s for sure and it is impressive how far ahead they are still in the overcrowded CGI animated features market. Sure, the damned thing looked amazing, I wouldn’t expect less from these guys, but it went so much deeper than that. Indeed, even though it might seem at first to be about a girl suddenly turning into a red panda, it was actually about puberty and it was really neat how well they tackled such a tricky subject. Indeed, after watching so many movies, I think I could count on a single hand all the movies which actually managed to do something interesting and/or believable on this topic. In this case, their biggest asset was the main character, Meilin, who was so convincing, so pitch-perfect, I think she was hands-down one of the best characters created by Pixar. I also loved her tight group of friends. Eventually, even though the whole thing was entertaining, they always took these characters and what they were going through seriously and the end-result was just spellbinding to behold. To be honest, I wish they made her struggle a little bit longer with her ‘curse’ and, eventually, she got it under control too fast in my opinion. Furthermore, I didn’t care much about the whole scheme of making money with her ability of becoming a red panda but these were some really minor flaws. 
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, even if the damned thing looked great and even if Ronan and Robbie both gave some solid performances, to be honest, I was never really convinced b” read more
