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…

Villanelle and Eve ("Killing Eve")

"Killing Eve" is a British comedy-drama series about the confrontation between a clumsy MI6 agent and a half-insane killer, whose relationship is very interesting to watch. Now the third season of this story is underway (you can see it on Kinopoisk) and it seemed interesting to me to try to draw its heroes. Of course, it doesn't smell like a portrait resemblance, but one day it will definitely start to work out. When Villanelle drew…

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Review (2018 -2020, Netflix)

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. She would not be any different from other schoolgirls if she were not a hereditary witch from an ancient family. Soon she will turn sixteen and her aunts, domineering Zelda and timid Hilda, insist that she undergo the Black Baptism ritual…

There's Nothing Fun In Being Horn-Y (Hellboy Review, 2019)

Hellboy (David Harbor, Sheriff Jim Hopper from Stranger Things) is a big and sulky big man with a red face (not because he drinks) and horns (not because his wife cheated on him), which he constantly files to keep from growing into mugs … Because Hellboy or, in Russian, "Devil" is really the devil himself from the underworld. But, oddly enough, not evil, but quite good-natured, somewhere in the depths, behind a stern face. Hellboy…

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…

Marvel's Spider-Man: Far From Home Review (2019)

Spider-Man: Far From Home is a cool and fun one-shot film that concludes the story of The Avengers and brings the evolution of Peter Parker in the world of Marvel to its logical conclusion. My wife and I do not regret that we went, it seems, it will be even more interesting further.

I especially liked the villain and his concept …

Marvel's Avengers Endgame Review (2019)

Wow. This is more than just another fantastic action movie about heroes who have become a part of pop culture. A movie that is merciless to the viewer, running for three hours and stopping the heart several times. A meta-film that connects and completes all the previous films in the series, starting with "Iron Man". In places it is very heavy, sad and touching, in fact, it evokes a feeling of catharsis several times. At…

Maleficent Review (2014)

A retouching of the classic 1959 cartoon, The Sleeping Beauty, where almost everything was changed. A simple and elegant tale of a naive sleep-lover and a heroic knight on a white horse became a tragic dark fantasy about a horned sorceress with a kind soul, who became the ruler of darkness because of the betrayal and injury inflicted by the man she loved, for whom the Iron Throne (sorry, power ) turned out to be…
