Goya’s Ghosts (2006)
Goya's Ghosts is a 2006 historical drama film directed by the well-known Spanish filmmaker Milos Forman. The movie explores the life of Francisco de Goya, a famous Spanish painter, and his relationship with the Spanish Inquisition during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The film stars an impressive cast that includes Javier Bardem, Natalie Portman, and Stellan Skarsgard. The performances in the movie are exceptional, particularly those of Bardem and Portman. Bardem brings a brooding intensity to his portrayal of Goya, while Portman is convincing as the tortured and vengeful Ines. Skarsgard also gives a strong performance as Lorenzo, a man who is torn between his loyalty to the Inquisition and his love for his daughter.

"John Wick: Chapter 4 Movie Review
Short Review: The John Wick franchise, which began in 2014, has set up a culture of assassins with its own set of rules and discipline, existing in a dark underworld that connects the world. The latest installment, John Wick: Chapter 4, directed by Chad Stahelski, continues to keep the franchise's heart in the right place, despite the chaos happening around. The story takes its time to set up the world of the High Table, which is now directly behind John, but every sequence is well thought-out and shaped in a way that concludes every single thing that has happened to him. The villain in this chapter is a young man who is arrogant and metaphorically powerful but not physically. His purpose is not only to eliminate John Wick but also the idea of him that inspires others to raise their voices. While the movie is packed with action, it has moments that shape a cathartic tale, wiping the idea of Wick, not just for the villain but for John as well. Keanu Reeves delivers a heartfelt performance, and the rest of the cast, including Donnie Yen, Ian McShane, and Laurence Fishburne, play their parts well. The direction, choreography, and music are exceptional.

Video Salons in Late USSR
During the Cold War, very few American, British or western cultural products reached the Soviet people as the USSR government was afraid the capitalist propaganda in the form of western books, movies and music would corrupt the Soviet citizens' minds. The only genre that received an exception was French and Italian dramas and comedies, so Soviet audiences were very fond of Fellini, Visconti, Mastroiani, Delon, Belmondo, Richard, and of course De Funes in his Phantomas series.

John Wick: Chapter 4 Movie Review
"John Wick: Chapter 4" has finally hit theaters, after a two-year delay. The film sees director Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves return to the franchise, with a streamlined approach that makes for a refreshing change from the more complex plots of the previous films. The plot sees Wick on the run again, pursued by the High Table and the villainous Marquis de Gramont. He seeks help from the head of the Osaka Continental, Shimazu, and faces off against a blind High Table assassin named Caine. The action sequences are brilliantly choreographed, with great clarity of intention and objectives that allow for complex choreography. The film has a great cast, with Reeves delivering a committed and emotionally exhausted performance that adds more gravity to the franchise. The legendary Donnie Yen is fantastic as Caine, and Shamier Anderson shines in his role as an assassin waiting for the price on Wick's head to hit the right level. Overall, "John Wick: Chapter 4" is a visually striking, brilliantly choreographed action movie that is a must-see for fans of the franchise.

John Wick: Chapter 4 Movie Review
Since 2014, the John Wick franchise has climbed to the top of the action genre with some of the best fight choreography and set pieces in modern filmmaking. Blending martial arts, gunplay and a sleek presentation, it quickly overtook many of its competitors. After nine years in the game, the mainline story comes to a close with John Wick: Chapter 4. Like all the films before it, this is one thrill ride that never lets up.

'Poker Face': Movie Review
If you like to watch really good movies as I do, then consider watching Poker Face. Season 1 of the 10-episode series was released on January 26, 2023, and ended on March 9, 2023. It is still available on the streaming service Peacock. The episodes are easy to binge-watch because they are just that good. I watched the entire series on a Friday night.

Melancholia (2011)
Life is only on Earth... and not for long. If we give credit to writers, the end of the world isn't such a bad thing when you become a contemporary witness. Why should it be? So many wasted generations and it's only to the one you belong to that it's given to witness the last act...? It's not a small thing to be among the chosen ones when you're already obligated to death. Anyway... Whenever we have to deal with an apocalyptic film, nostalgia takes over all emotions, and melancholy is always present at the party. The title of this production is a direct symbol (Dürer's engraving means this), although here it is the name of a planet (immense, surreal, and blue) that Earth is about to collide with. We're at Lars von Trier, so we start with Wagner (Tristan and Isolde prelude), with a bizarre painting (Lucas Cranach the Elder), a plethora of references to others (Ophelia, Bruegel, etc.), an inflation of symbols, superimposed over a sickeningly depressive vision (Trier admits to having thought up the film while hospitalized and undergoing psychiatric therapy). It's a difficult-to-follow adaptation of Lars von Trier's Melancholia. Not only the plot but also the cluttered way in which events take place, applied over a seemingly calm and accepting demeanor, all together put great pressure on the viewer and heavily demand their attention.
