Red Sparrow (2018)

It's not good

[11 May 2018]

The marketing did the job in tricking me this would be actually good. But it wasn't. The accents were bad, the characters, big part of the plot. I only liked the ending because it was better than most of the film and because it put a stop to it.

The Rain (2018–2020)

Don't waste time

[10 May 2018]

It had the potential to be great, but then it was just bad. I only managed to endure 4 episodes.

Game Night (I) (2018)

Not the best comedy out there

[10 May 2018]

You might be thrilled in the beginning to see some familiar faces, but after a while you may find yourself falling asleep multiple times. The jokes are not that funny and they even tend to get repetitive

The Putin Interviews (2017)

To be avoided

[16 June 2017]

Oliver Stone's The Putin Interviews is… garbage. Stone, though respected as a filmmaker, at least for some of his earlier works, loses all credibility with this attempt at a "documentary". This four-part series is not a documentary, and it cannot be called journalism either. Is just a platform that Putin uses to justify to the world his policies, in his own manner of course: politically correct at times, even diplomatic, but with some subtle/not-so-subtle references, even irony when needed. Stone as an interviewer is practically useless. His questions are at times obviously ill-prepared, but, more annoying is his way of asking something by providing the way in which the question could be dodged. Not that Putin needs help with that. He has a lot of practice with his annual Valdai Club's meetings, Direct Lines and call-in shows. All of this while witnessing Stone's anti-Americanism and admiration for everything that is Russia or Russian. In the end we do not learn anything new. To be avoided.
