A dystopian nightmare drenched in the dying blood of doomed species. A system still running long after it stopped living. Lost souls, wandering through the torments of eternity, untill, at last the nothingness of death. Soaked in mud, guts and cracking bones, this sinister, maximalist cinematic tour the force expresses its ambitious and nerve-wrecking vision through rich, hypnotic imagery and a wide range of existential thematics. It shows, rather than tells (admirable without even a single spoken word), and does…

Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981
Still one of the best adventure films out there. Classic Indy never gets old. And I'll never get tired of it.

Indiana Jones made for one of those sparks that contributed to the film obsession that I now still carry with me.…

The Jewel of the Nile 1985
Talents like Douglas, Turner and Devito have the ability to make anything they're in more watchable, but they only just partly save this disappointing adventure film that isn't nearly as entertaining nor captivating as its predessessor. The romance isn't as sparkling, the action isn't as thrilling and the characters aren't as lively. At its best moments it's still exciting and fun, but there should have been a lot more of those moments here.

Dune 2021
Not since a certain trilogy about a certain ring we've witnessed a vision as grand as Denis Villeneuve's Dune.

Now, the most ambitious director working in Hollywood today, pushed bounderies, reached to the sky and beyond to create a grand, in surreality drenched adventure that is, in the first place, overwhelming. Every single image, every single setpiece, every single costume and every single tune…
