Sharp Objects Review (2018)

The main character, played by Amy Adams, on the instructions of the editor returns to the provincial American town where she grew up to write a report on the mysterious murders of little girls, which the local police cannot (or do not want) to investigate. Camilla returns to her father's house to her mother - and immediately regrets it: Adora immediately makes it clear that she is not happy about the arrival of the "lost…

Queen's Gambit Review (2020)

The outstanding mini-series about gifted young girl with a difficult fate, who learned to play chess from an old man in an orphanage and is doing everything to become the champion of the United States and defeat the strongest grandmaster in the world in the USSR. It would seem that chess is not the most spectacular sport, but the way it is presented here is breathtaking. And the focus is not at all on chess!…

Missed "The Office" - You're Fired! (2005-2013)

It would seem like a simple sitcom from a series of twenty minutes, where people are engaged in meaningless work and endure the stupid antics of their boss, who constantly makes fun of - and himself gets into trouble - but how it was invented, written, played! Although the tyrant director who mocks his subordinates is very sad (and the first season of the show, which adapts the British miniseries of the same name in…

Dark Review (2017 - 2020, Netflix)

Netflix's German science fiction series 'Dark' is a brain blast. we watch them and their decisions at different ages - and everything becomes much more complicated when you realize that this is a story about time travel, time loops and inevitability fate, when everything you do to stop evil only brings it closer. Do we have freedom of choice or is it the same illusion as the directionality of time (which, according to Einstein, exists…

Terminator: Dark Fate Review (2019)

With all the credit of trust and low expectations with which you start watching, at the end you are left with the question: "So … and why did I watch all this?" The previous film, "Genesys", although it also repeated a lot from the legendary first two films (the second, "Doomsday", is generally a masterpiece, a reference action movie and not the stupidest thriller), but approached this creatively, rewriting the rules, deceiving expectations viewer (at…

The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch Book Review

An abrupt start may even be frightening, and the main idea (a journey into a potential future in order to solve a crime in the present present), even if at first it seems not entirely plausible, but within the framework of the world of the book, it convincingly works. In general, this is a very multi-genre work - based on an almost mundane story of the investigation of a brutal murder in 1997 with the…

Sabrina Spellman is a high school student at Baxter School, a smart and persistent girl who is friends with two other renegade girls, meets the son of a miner, loves fun and horror movies.

Destiny 2 (Curse of Osiris + Warmind + Forsaken + Shadowkeep) Review

It's XXVIII century. Humanity has long settled in the near space, met other races, divided into species and experienced the most important event in its history: a meeting with the Wanderer, an inanimate object wandering from star to star, invisibly changing life around him. A giant whitish ball hovering over the Earth saved people from death, and the Golden Age of history began, full of incredible discoveries and achievements. To protect itself from the darkness…

Alita: Battle Angel Review (2019)

A cheerful, rather original and at the same time simple, naive and rather even a childish film about a robot girl with incredibly large and touching eyes, which the mechanical scientist Dr. Ido found in the trash heap, repaired and helped to get back on her feet - and then she discovered, which can easily distribute lula to traveling cyborg drug addicts. Alita meets and falls in love with a completely ordinary guy who has…
