The Green Knight (2021)

Sir Gawain is challenged by the Green Knight to cut off his head with the promise that he will seek him out a year later to receive the same blow.

'The Green Knight' is a fantasy story based on a poem from the 14th century. The film does not try to interpret or inspire a certain direction of interpretation, but only adds to the native art of the poem some visual mastery and the talent of a very skilled cast. Very visually pleasing, even with the scenes that can easily be called slow.

Director:  David Lowery    

With: Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury

Do Revenge (2022)

Doua fete forarte diferite se apropie una de alta din dorinta de a-si razbuna inamicii.

'Do Revenge' este un film comedie cu adolescenti din generatia noua. Dragut dar nu impresionant, se vrea o copie diluata a lui Cruel Intentions cu multe elemente imprumutate din Heathers si Strangers On A Train. 

Regia:  Jennifer Kaytin Robinson   

Cu: Camila Mendes, Maya Hawke, Austin Abrams, Rish Shah, Sophie Turner, Sarah Michelle Gellar

Rating: 6/10

Do Revenge (2022)

Two very different girls get close to each other out of a desire to avenge their enemies.

'Do Revenge' is a teenage comedy film from the new generation. Cute but not impressive, it thinks itself a diluted copy of Cruel Intentions with many elements borrowed from Heathers and Strangers On A Train.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

Doctor Strange si o fata ce poate calatori intre lumi, lupta impreuna impotriva amenintarilor din alte dimensiuni, inclusiv versiuni ale lui Strange.

'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' este urmarea logica a incurcaturilor cauzate de Spiderman si jucatul cu schimbatul evenimentelor deja intamplate. Plin de notiuni ridicole ca de obicei, mult mai putin special decat primul film dedicat eroului de fata, cea mai recenta productie castiga mult de la influenta horror a regizorului Sam Raimi, dar nu incredibil de mult.

Regia:  Sam Raimi     

Cu: Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

Doctor Strange and a girl who can travel between worlds fight together against threats from other dimensions, including other versions of the doctor.

'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' is the logical follow-up of the entanglements caused by Spiderman and the playing around with changing events that have already happened. Full of ridiculous notions as usual, much less special than the first film dedicated to the main hero, the latest production gains a lot from the horror influence from director Sam Raimi, but not incredibly much.

Director:  Sam Raimi     

With: Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong

Rating: 8/10

Bad Samaritan (2018)

Two burglars target a house where they discover a woman is being held captive.

'Bad Samaritan' is a non mainstream thriller. The idea is not original, but interesting, and the cast quite appealing. And yet it loses a lot of value due to plot holes and inconsistencies that are hard to overlook.

Director:  Dean Devlin    

With: David Tennant, Robert Sheehan, Kerry Condon, Carlito Olivero

Rating: 6/10

Bad Samaritan (2018)

Doi hoti nimeresc o casa in care o femeie este tinuta captiva.

'Bad Samaritan' este un thriller de calibru mic. Ideea nu este originala, dar interesanta, iar distributia simpatica. Si totusi pierde destul din valoare din cauza unor plot holes si inconsistente greu de trecut cu vederea.

Regia:  Dean Devlin    

Cu: David Tennant, Robert Sheehan, Kerry Condon, Carlito Olivero
