Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
The worst from Marvel
A thunderous display of completely unnecessary stupidity. Not worth spending money on this one. Marvel could have skipped this episode and left it in the head of the writers.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
An exciting surprise
A totally crazy and highly original film carried by a Michelle Yeoh (Tomorrow Never Dies, The Lady) at the top of her form. She is simply sublime.
The cast is excellent. We are pleased to see Ke Huy Quan (The Goonies, I. Jones and the Temple of Doom) and an unrecognizable Jamie Lee Curtis as a tax inspector.
The editing of the film is extraordinary and deserves to be rewarded. Moreover I would see this film nominated for editing, screenplay, directing and acting at the next Oscars.
Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022)
Welcome back to Downton Abbey
The fans will be delighted by this sequel.
All the romance, charm and plots we loved in the show are wonderfully brought to this 2nd cinematographic opus. The costumes and decors are stunning.
New characters join the ensemble bringing in more peps (excellent Dominic West and Laura Haddock) while some others find an epic closure to their stories.
Dame Maggie Smith still has the best lines.
Pera Palas'ta Gece Yarisi (2022)
Step back in time at the Pera Palace
A joyful surprise and a pleasant show filled with real history facts.
A good alternative to English and American series with this time travel experience.
The Pera Palace truly existed and welcomed guests as famous as Ernest Hemingway or Josephine Baker. Agatha Christie wrote her novel "Crime on the Orient-Express" at this hotel.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
Total bore
Total disappointment. Total bore. All the magic from the previous movies has been lost.
The plot and final battle are flat, nothing to hook the audience.
Even if we miss Johnny Depp, Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) is the cherry on the cake of this failure.
The Lost City (2022)
Perfect popcorn movie
Tough not to compare with Romancing the Stone. Nothing new with the plot but we laugh a lot and spend a good time.
The duo Bullock-Tatum works well. The Brad Pitt cameo is hilarious. And the biggest surprise must certainly be Daniel Radcliffe, far from his Harry Potter years. He's fantastic and funny.
Heartstopper (2022)
Fall in love all over again
A lovely romantic show filled with sensibility, tenderness and makes you want to fall in love all over again.
For once a positive and nice LGBT series. By far one of the best in recent years. At the top of the Netflix series.
Far from the usual clichés we're used to in American shows. It's filled with positivity, objectivity and is very current (bullying, coming out, sexuality, family).
We smile, we cry, we laugh and we jump into teenage years with a happy heart.
Fresh (2022)
A new breed in horror-gore movie genre
For horror-gore fans who enjoy romance movies.
A pleasant surprise that we devour despite some scenes hard to swallow. Dating will never look the scene after this movie. Can't say more without spoiling.
Sebastian Stan (Captain America) is chillingly good.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Classic Marvel action movie
Almost 126 minutes of computer generated images movie in complete madness.
Non-stop action packed movie that keeps you glued to your seat.
Perfectly entertaining but no big surprises.
Senior Year (2022)
One of the worst
Seriously ?
I am a Rebel Wilson fan and I usually enjoy her movies. She is funny and unique.
But Senior Year is a total disappointment. Hardly funny, hardly entertaining. This movies completely misses the mark. I didn't get to t.
Next !
The Lincoln Lawyer (2022)
No objections
David E. Kelley did it again. A good 1st season with it's expected pack of twists til' the last minutes.
I really enjoyed the courtroom scenes and the lawyers questionings, especially the ones from Mickey Haller (fantastic Manuel Garcia-Ruflo).
Still, have to admit, I expected more surprises with the story lines. I guess I watch too many cop and lawyer's shows.
A good acting ensemble.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Joyful flying time
Top Gun Maverick will not become a classic as the 1986 version.
Never less, the flying scene are absolutely stunning and amazing. Your stay glued to your seat with those action packed moments. Even more when you know those are not computer generated images.
Gewoon vrienden (2018)
Amazing script !
Just Friends avoids all the gay clichés you usually see in gay movies. It is fresh, funny and also deals with deep subjects. The scenario is rich and subtile. The casting is right on point. Jenny Arean is fabulous as the gran-mother.
