    Kidding: season 2.

    Jim Carrey rocks.
    Judy Greer is the bomb.
    Frank Langella was amazing.

    The kid is okay too.

    Sonny Boy, Netherlands 2011

    Watched a second time. Brilliant movie. Shows lively barbarism and humanity. Based on a true story.
    A movie that should be material and theme in every school.

    Official trailer


    Full movie, stream until 1st Feb 2021, German language version.

    Rightwingers, like in the past the epitome of incompetence, except for evilness where they own the mastership.
    Iirc., already 2013 i spoke of "Renaissance of Fascism", it was accurate.

    Great for foodies and people interested in history and culture. In the right conditions, truly mesmerizing.
    Of these facts there cannot be any shadow of doubt: for instance, that civil society was renovated in every part by Christian institutions; that in the strength of that renewal the human race was lifted up to better things-nay, that it was brought back from death to life, and to so excellent a life that nothing more perfect had been known before, or will come to be known in the ages that have yet to be. - Pope Leo XIII

    Is the Belle from Delphi also an influencer or just an information-age version of a porn-star?

    That was a bizarre movie. I have to suppose it wasn't trying to be realistic. I am not sure what the point of it all was either - religion is bad, mkay?

    There's poetry in defeat.
    Such a waste of life for the ambitions of a dying Empire.

    The Empty Man (2020)
    Apparently adapted from a graphic novel.
    It wasn't bad. (not great either)

    Mosul

    Best war movie I've seen in a while.
    Also, it's the first ever Arabic language movie with an Iraqi dialect produced by Netflix.
    Flawless characterization.
    Produced by the Russo Bros.

    The Indian Runner

    Sean Penn coming to grips with his anger and antisocial behavior by creating Viggo Mortensen's character.
    Includes one of the scariest scenes in movie history.
    And all it has in, is peas.

    I care a lot black comedy, wasted dialog to explain the self explanatory and some OTT characters spoil a good scenario.
