House Of Darkness (2022)

Dupa ce s-au cunoscut intr-un bar, Hap o aduce pe Mina acasa, iar dorintele ii sunt indeplinite cand ea il invita inauntru, in casa ce pare a fi un conac.

'House Of Darkness' e ceea ce se cheama un horror slowburn ca la carte. Cu o tematica demna de filmele Hammer ale anilor 70, stilul este complet modernizat, si autorul isi asuma cateva riscuri cand alege o dezvoltare a actiunii bazate pe dialog si innuendo. Proaspat si binevenit intr-un mediu creativ ce adesea pare a folosi doar copycats.

Regia:  Neil LaBute     

Cu: Kate Bosworth, Justin Long, Gia Crovatin, Lucy Walters

Rating: 7.6/10

Cowboy Bebop (2021)

Un grup de vanatori de recompense devin adesea eroi accidental, intr-o lume a calatoriilor in spatiu.

'Cowboy Bebop' e o adaptare live-action a unui serial anime mult iubit. Plin de aventuri ce cumva readuc personajul principal in preajma aceluiasi antagonist tipic si evident, Cowboy Bebop ar fi putut evolua in ceva special cu o viata ceva mai lunga decat i-a fost permis. Nefiind primit de fani asa cum se dorea, serialul sufera de o subapreciere nedreapta.

Regia: Alex Garcia Lopez, Michael Katleman  

Productie:  The WB   

Creator:  Christopher L. Yost   

Durata:  1 sezon de 10 episoade (58 minute fiecare)   

Cu: John Cho, Mustafa Shakir, Daniella Pineda, Elena Satine, Alex Hassell, Geoff Stults, Mason Alexander Park, John Noble

Cowboy Bebop (2021)

A group of bounty hunters often become accidental heroes in a world of space travel.

'Cowboy Bebop' is a live-action adaptation of a much-loved anime series. Full of adventures that somehow bring the main character back around the same typical and obvious antagonist, Cowboy Bebop could have evolved into something special with a slightly longer life than it's been allowed. Not being received by the fans as desired, the series suffers from an unfair underappreciation.

Director: Alex Garcia Lopez, Michael Katleman  

Production:  The WB   

Creator:  Christopher L. Yost   

Duration:  1 season of 10 episodes (58 minutes each)  

With: John Cho, Mustafa Shakir, Daniella Pineda, Elena Satine, Alex Hassell, Geoff Stults, Mason Alexander Park, John Noble
