In the mid-1980s, Zuzana Hojdová brought to Barrandov a subject not dissimilar to Clade Sautet's A Simple Story. But a similar female theme could never have been done in the same way in free France in the late 1970s and in the Czech Republic in the mid-1980s. So in the end, the character of Romy Schneider had to deal only with the moral issue of infidelity, abortion, and related topics, while the Czech Jana Krausová had a much worse situation. Her career has stagnated for completely bizarre reasons, and her extramarital love affair has been joined by a final verdict on the choice to raise an illegitimate child or never have any more... And as if that wasn't enough, A Story from '88 arrived in theaters on the eve of the Velvet Revolution, and its life was unfortunately ephemeral. However, taken as a whole, A Story from '88 is great melodramatic cinema, with a great visual component that relies on the idea of setting the story in the artistic milieu of fashion and theater backstage. In terms of the acting, the overall feel is very natural, though it relies on overly literary dialogue at times. But sometimes love situations are like that in real life.

Hot in Cleveland is a sitcom filmed in front of a live audience, so it does get pretty raspy from time to time - if the cadence of the dialogue is truly substantial. But to appreciate and absorb the atmosphere, you have to start from scratch. Because you don't really see four of these types of women every day. They are all extremely horny, enjoying life, self-centered, loving, and fun all at the same time. I was lured to the show by guest Jennifer Love Hewitt and later hooked by another star, Kirstie Alley, who was there to promote her new sitcom Kirstie. TV Land is home to some of the most outrageous humor.

The animation is just beautiful! :-D And the propaganda is absolutely epic. The documentary value of this fiction has reached cosmic proportions. However, the evil imperialist Wall Street spider that PULLS the strings all the way to Chi-town is so delightfully amateurish that even pre-1930 Ire-Film would have laughed at it.

Ang Lee wasn't far from the truth, but unfortunately, his Hulk came at a time that hadn't yet reckoned with the macho MCU. The Incredible Hulk of the new generation is the latest take on the classic Beauty and the Beast myth, Frankenstein's Monster, the Monster of the Black Lagoon, Swamp Thing, and more. However, I am pleased to acknowledge that, in terms of the acting, Hulk features very decent performances from Edward Norton and Liv Tyler, though the whole thing could be considered merely as "trying" - and, in retrospect, just a straight-up Marvel movie. Bruce and Betty's romance is truly life-like and their shared intimacy is very realistic. The MCU has lost a lot by losing this duo.

Boring, boring, grey. There was some effort put into it, though. However, cinematic Marvel adventures set in the present are for a different target audience. I prefer to have some of that sequential art, as the film version of The Winter Soldier only served to make me cry over Steve and Peg's reunion. That was really touching. Other than that, I didn’t even enjoy Robert Redford, and that's saying something.

The MCU primarily only entertains me in the storyline that deals with the golden age. So there's Cap's first movie and everything Agent Carter - related. I simply have to laugh at Adrianne Palicki's career. It went through DC's Smallville and two Aquaman and Wonder Woman -themed fails and eventually, surprisingly, took root with the competition.

It's a cute parody of Two and a Half Men from the Charlie Sheen era. We have Kandi and Rose, and everything is as it should be. It doesn't demean the original series in any way - on the contrary, this parody is exactly literally where the series was always going. It's just too bad Dylan Ryder didn't have someone more interesting to act alongside. But whatever. Evan Stone is a superman.

When watching this, people will have to decide if the magic of Christmas belongs in the world of He-Man and She-Ra, because Masters of the Universe can be a great fantasy, but the spirit of Christmas really isn't the right thing to fix Skeletor, and especially those useless children in peril... who the hell is asking for them? In the end, the only upside to this movie is that it's a crossover between He-Man and She-Ra, which is fine, but The Secret of the Sword was much better.

The basic message is primitive: violence is bad, yes. Everything else is just filler hanging on a formal pun, which ultimately degenerated into the fact that everyone must have heard something at some point about Monica Bellucci (an absolute goddess at the time) filming a very naturalistic rape scene. But the point of why this was so has been lost in the rumor mill. Such a process is irreversibly odd and the overall project is therefore useless and the uproar around it downright empty. And there was somehow going to be a groundbreaking film told backwards in 2002? Nobody believes that.

At the beginning were the legendary performances of Almodóvar's darlings, Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz, who otherwise classically star independently of each other in his films. After that, they were forgotten and the whole thing surprisingly culminated in the warmest comedy based on the song "I'm so excited." I don't have a problem with something like that, especially if it all ends so optimistically, my captain. ;)
