Still one of the best adventure films out there. Classic Indy never gets old. And I'll never get tired of it. It's peak Spielberg and peak cinena at its most thrilling, most fun and most entertaining best. Ford is iconic. Always a pleasure to revisit a favorite and re-experience that exact same feeling that I had upon first watch. Indiana Jones made for one of those sparks that contributed to the film obsession that I now still carry with me.…

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 1984

I thoroughly enjoyed this for the energetic action and for the fun performances from Joey King and Olga Kurylenko with that nasty whip, but it remains nothing more than simple entertainment due to a messy plot, a lack of worthy characterization and an undercooked villain. I sure had fun with this, but it lacks on too many levels to make it stand out in any way.

Bob le Flambeur 1956
Clever and with a keen eye for character driven entertainment, Bob le flambeur is charming, flamboyant and funny from start to finish. There is a wildly enjoyable slickness to the style, and the characters are strongly developed through dialogue and it's all unpredictable and very romantic also. Nobody will see the ending coming and it's really quite brilliant. This was my first Melville and I already feel like wanting more.

Dune 2021
Not since a certain trilogy about a certain ring we've witnessed a vision as grand as Denis Villeneuve's Dune. Another story that was said to be unfilmable due to its massive scope and enormous worldbuilding. 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…
