Troll (2022)

Norwegian Godzilla, just much better

[8/10 · 3 December 2022]

"Troll" is a pretty standard Kaiju movie. It uses typical tropes from such movies, so nothing original here... But whole product is well put together and as such quite entertaining.

The story is quite logical (for Kaiju movie, of course), the characters behave like normal human beings (in contrast with recent Hollywood productions where everyone seem to be an imbecile) and CGI is very good. The movie is also funny but in a very subtle way.

I would say that "Troll" is much better than recent Godzilla movies.

+1 for references to Norway culture, especially not much known in the world Theodor Kittelsen. There are also references to "Trolljegeren" from 2010.

Beneath (I) (2013)

Genuine one star gem!

[1/10 · 30 November 2021]

The movie has all the thing you would like to unsee: terrible script, horrible acting, characters that you wholeheartedly hate and special effects from 1940's.

I had spend better 90 minutes during my last canal treatment than watching this... brainfart.

T-34 (2018)

World of Tanks meets Putin's propaganda...

[4/10 · 28 May 2020]

... in glorious slow-motion HDR!

Well, if you love tanks, Matrix-pionereed slow-motion bullets (or shells, in this case) and fantasy-like colors - this is move for you! With some cliches thrown-in: Germans and cruel, fascist pigs, Russian soldiers fight for their country and s on. If you can ignore this political bias, then this is quite good action movie. With real, historical tanks.

The Ritual (I) (2017)

Folk occult meets Blair Witch Project

[8/10 · 21 July 2019]

I love survival horror movies. This one, while not being great, stands above typical run-of-the-mill American horrors. The atmosphere is there, not all logic is missing and it gives real creeps... Visual effects are also very good and main 'protagonist' is well thought out and depicted in an intriguing way.

American Warships (2012 Video)

Must see!

[2/10 · 11 June 2018]

Must see this! Otherwise you will never believe, how bad a movie can be! Absurd plot, terrible acting and CG so poor, that average computer game has 10 times better! But it gets its second star for USS Iowa and clear sentiment that makers of the movie had for her...

Pop Skull (2007)

NEVER seen a movie so bad!

[1/10 · 21 October 2008]

Believe me, I saw lots of horror movies. But not even one compares to that waste of time that "Pop Skull" is. You thought "Haunted boat" or "Seven mummies" or "Chain reaction" are bad? Wait until you see this and bore yourself to death. Literally, with every passing minute of this movie you feel you life being sucked from you and you want to scream and scream again! I saw this at the cinema and half of the people just escaped from the theater after the first half, where nothing happened. Nothing happened in the second half either... And they call that horror, when there isn't a single scary moment in the whole movie!
