A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of The Apprentice (2024)

[English] A movie that helps us to understand why people in the US behave the way they do and we can see nowadays. Basically, it is a modern western that tells of the colonization by fortune-seekers who, even in abject poverty, agree to something, even if it runs counter to their own interests. And on the other, of rich Europeans in the New World who know how to manipulate the state construct so that the source of capital remains secure. Ruthlessness creates ruthlessness that devours them. Always on the lookout for the next deal in a world as a board

A β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of DΓ¬di (弟弟) (2024)

[English] A movie like a warming hug with an understanding caress to a shy adolescent soul. The insecurity of 13-year-old Chris is paired with social media, which became increasingly popular towards the end of the 00s, making for many laughs. A story about wanting to belong, love-hate relationships with one's own family and the fleeting nature of friendships. The movie has a good pace and a quirky dynamic, but I still felt something was missing at the end. Themes about migration and family pressure are woven into the story in a natural way, without being overbearing. __________ [Deutsch] Ein Film

A β˜…β˜… review of Rippy (2024)

[English] Who hasn't Michael Biehn had to flee from? Terminators that keep getting up. Nasty xenomorphs that spray their acid blood - Tess Haubrich, who plays policewoman Maddy, also had to make the acquaintance of the spawn in Alien Covenant. But Biehn really didn't deserve that. As a whimsical outback Schmitty, he warns of a killer kangaroo that hops around looking for victims to claw. The budget must have been low, even for an imposing mining theme with the nearby mine and showdown it wasn't enough. The CGI is expectedly bad, according to the credits there were animatronics. Either they

A β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of The Wasp (2024)

[English] Deep wounds come to light in this well-constructed psychological thriller. The titular wasp undoubtedly serves as a metaphor for a species that lays eggs in tarantulas, which are then eaten from the inside out by the hatched offspring. Their sting is said to cause agony for several minutes without actually happening. Heather contacts Carla, whom she hasn't seen since school. She has several children and is pregnant again. An offer from Heather seems convenient: she hires Carla to kill her husband. Nothing more should be known, except that the chamber play-like battle with ever-changing twists and turns manages to
