When the first manned flight to Mars is deemed unsafe and scrubbed on the launch pad, anxious authorities must scramble to save face and retain their funding - and so an unthinkable plot to fake the mission is hatched. Great sci-fi movie of the 70s, it’s pretty much the cornerstone of conspirationists around the...
Best Romanian coach in history, may your light shine through. This article was originally published at: https://andrei.xyz/quickies/rip-mircea-lucescu/
Ove, an ill-tempered, isolated retiree who spends his days enforcing block association rules and visiting his wife’s grave, has finally given up on life just as an unlikely friendship develops with his boisterous new neighbors. Deep, heartfelt, funny and heartwarming at times, sad and nostalgic at other times, this...
A Quiet Form of Obsolence"> This is another guest post. In case you don’t know what that means, a guest post is something written by someone else, but published by me. It represents their views, not mine, I just considered it’s a piece worth publishing written by someone who doesn’t have a presence online. However,...
Brave rabbit cop Judy Hopps and her friend, the fox Nick Wilde, team up again to crack a new case, the most perilous and intricate of their careers. Good fun for the kids, social commentary in a cute package for the grown ups. Strong follow-up to the 2016 phenomenon, proving that Disney can still make proper...
A spaceship carrying settlers to Mars is knocked off course, causing the consumption-obsessed passengers to consider their place in the universe. While this happens on a spaceship, this is not a space opera about colonizing new worlds and discovering new civilizations. This is a slow burning drama about a group of...
- Estonian – Ron"> Since the weather outside is still veeeery cold for April, I thought instead of chasing it away, we should embrace it. So we’re putting our winter hats on, we’re grabbing our mittens and we go to Estonia! (There are 4ºC in Tallinn at the moment). But we travel only digitally, to meet Ron and his...
An ambitious salesman will do anything for that big promotion he’s been chasing, but inevitably, he will learn that there is no such thing as the perfect crime. Another great recommendatino from Elanor, another movie directed by Álex de la Iglesia, starring Guillermo Toledo, Mónica Cervera and Enrique Villén, among...
a half-assed review -- Need for Speed II (1997)"> This is the first retro-game I’ve played. I discovered it in an internet cafe that had less powered computers, back in 2003. While NFS II was only six year old at the time, comparing it to the then-current NFS Underground really made it look dated. The Special...
An anthology of 5 different cab drivers in 5 American and European cities and their remarkable fares on the same eventful night. Five stories, in five different cabs, in five different countries, happening at the same time. It’s absurd and funny, and it doesn’t have a grand finale, but still manages to impress...
