What's Your Number? (2011)

A woman decides that one of her exes must be her other half.

'What's Your Number?' is a romantic comedy with a superficial premise. With a very likeable cast and real chemistry between the characters, the film manages to rise from its prognosed mediocrity and offer genuine entertainment.

Director:  Mark Mylod   

With: Anna Faris, Chris Evans, Ari Graynor, Blythe Danner

Rating: 8/10

Enola Holmes (2020)

Enola Holmes, sora lui Sherlock, incepe o investigatie foarte personala cand mama sa dispare.

'Enola Holmes' e un film de aventuri si crima, diluat pentru un public mai tanar si inocent. Fara a fi ceva special, filmul este dragut dar cel mai impresionant atu al sau este distributia.

Regia:  Harry Bradbeer  

Cu: Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, Helena Bonham Carter

Rating: 7/10

Enola Holmes (2020)

Enola Holmes, Sherlock's sister, begins a very personal investigation when her mother disappears.

"Enola Holmes" is an adventure and crime film, watered down for a younger and innocent audience. Without being anything special, the film is cute but its most impressive asset is the cast.

Director:  Harry Bradbeer  

With: Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, Helena Bonham Carter

The Vast of Night (2019)

A telephone operator and a radio operator begin to investigate local events after they manage to catch a series of strange noises through an unusual radio frequency.

'The Vast of Night' is a sci-fi film temporally set in the 50s, in a context that appears very authentic, in a culture obsessed with a third world war, alien invasions and government conspiracies. With a mini-homage to Orson Welles' 'War Of The Worlds' radio show (the radio station is called WOTW), this film is adept at subtly highlighting the panic, suspense and mystery needed to keep the viewer tensing.

Director:  Andrew Patterson   

With: Sierra McCormick, Jake Horowitz, Gail Cronauer, Bruce Davis

Rating: 8/10

The Vast of Night (2019)

Un operator telefonic si un operator de radio incep sa investigheze evenimente locale dupa ce reusesc sa suprinda o serie de zgomote ciudate printr-o frecventa radio neobisnuita.

'The Vast of Night' e un film SF situat temporal in anii 50, intr-un context ce apare foarte autentic, intr-o cultura obsedata de un al treilea razboi mondial, atacuri extraterestre si conspiratii guvernamentale. Cu un mini-omagiu pentru showul radiofonic al lui Orson Welles 'War Of The Worlds' (postul radio se cheama WOTW), filmul de fata este abil in a evidentia subtil panica, suspiciunea si misterul necesare pentru a mentine privitorul in  suspans.

Regia:  Andrew Patterson

Table 19 (2017)

Eloise still attends the wedding at which she was supposed to be the maid of honour, even though she was dumped by the bride's brother, but gets seated at the losers' table.

"Table 19" is a romantic comedy, although it's not obvious until near the end, acting like a regular comedy until then. The presence of several comedy veterans (Stephen Merchant, Lisa Kudrow, Craig Robinson) is felt and welcomed, and the film has an undeniable beneficial effect. 

Director:  Jeffrey Blitz      

With: Anna Kendrick, Lisa Kudrow, Craig Robinson, Stephen Merchant

Rating: 8/10

Table 19 (2017)

Eloise participa la nunta la care trebuia să fie domnișoara de onoare, deși a fost părăsită de fratele miresei, dar este așezată la masa rataților.

"Table 19" e o comedie romantică, deși nu e evident până aproape de final, comportându-se ca o comedie obișnuită pana atunci. Prezența câtorva veterani de comedie (Stephen Merchant, Lisa Kudrow, Craig Robinson) este simțită și binevenită, iar filmul are un efect benefic de netăgăduit. 

Regia:  Jeffrey Blitz      

Cu: Anna Kendrick, Lisa Kudrow, Craig Robinson, Stephen Merchant
