Here we go, I'll start.

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2010) - This movie is a joke. At first it's interesting, then it's boring and then it's just funny/pathetic. And they put it in a "horror" genre. Words are not sufficient. Nosferatu is turning in his grave. 3/10

The Eternaut 2025 miniseries. It felt like a long movie. As a fan of the graphic novel I have mixed feelings. I think that is a recommended watch for the scope of the production alone, and I'm really interested in what other cultures may get from this very argentinian story. I certainly hope this brings more people to the source material.

Thunderbolts* (2025)

American superhero film. It's about a group of antiheroes are caught in a deadly trap and forced to work together on a dangerous mission. Just watched this at the cinema. This literally just came out, so everything even close to being plot-related will be spoiler-tagged. Be warned, these are massive spoilers.
So, of course the asterisk is there because it's not the actual name of our ragtag group of heroes, even if the Red Guardian wants it to be. No, as is revealed at the end of the movie, this new group is called the New Avengers. I'm not that familiar with the lore and the comics and everything, but I know that multiple groups have had that name and here it's these people: Yelena Belova (Black Widow's adopted sister), Bucky Barnes, John Walker (the ex Captain America (for like 2 seconds, like the other characters mention)), Ava Starr aka Ghost, Robert Reynolds aka Bob aka Sentry/Void (who much of this movie is about) and Alexei Shostakov aka Red Guardian (who's also Yelena's (and Black Widow's adopted father). I was very impressed with Lewis Pullman (Bill Pullman's son) as Bob/Sentry/Void (who, weirdly enough, also played a character called Bob in Top Gun: Maverick (2022)). But yeah, he ruled. As the fish-out-of-water Bob when these clearly very capable supersoldiers find him in Valentina Allegra de Fontaine's secret complex, as the godlike, but still doubtful superhero Sentry and as the depressed, self-doubting supervillain Void. I can't wait to see more of Bob/Sentry/Void again. What a fascinating character. From what I've written this might seem like it's just an origin story of this new team of superheroes, but it's also more than that. It's about loneliness, which is how Bob can be this god Sentry but also the Void. It's about family and togetherness. It's the last movie of the MCU's Phase Five and definitely among the better ones. The MCU has needed a movie like this. Something that makes you excited for what's to come. And speaking of "what's to come", there's the question of the post-credits scene. They're sitting together, discussing an ongoing problem in outer space when they receive a distress signal from space and satellite footage reveals an enormous spacecraft with a large 4 on it. So yeah, the Fantastic Four. Can't wait for that. The next MCU movie that's being released is The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) at the end of July. I don't think they meet in that one already, because that's gonna be the introduction of those "new" characters of the Fantastic Four. But in some movie in the future the New Avengers and the Fantastic Four will meet.
I just watched this because I like to watch something that's just stupid and entertaining from time to time, but this definitely surprised me, so yeah, I can actually recommend this.

Inheritance/Spadek (2024)

Polish black comedy mystery film. It's about a family who gathers to inherit an eccentric inventor's fortune after his death, only to find out that he had prepared a last game to test their reconciliation and teamwork. It's a fun little whodunnit, but nothing outstanding in its genre. Overall I do think it's decent entertainment, though. So I can recommend it.

Day Shift (2022)

American action comedy horror film. It's about a blue-collar father whose pool-cleaning job is a front for his work as a vampire hunter. Rewatched this yesterday and it's still good and very entertaining. Can recommend.

The Land Beyond the Sunset (1912)

American silent drama short film. It's about a young boy, oppressed by his grandmother, who goes on an outing in the country with a social welfare group. It's very whimsical and magical but it has a powerful, haunting final scene that gives you a chill when you watch it, where (and I don't believe I have to spoilertag something about a 113 year old movie, but out of principle I will) the boy is seen from afar, drifting out to sea in the oarless boat he got into in the previous scene, holding his storybook against his chest, which most likely means he's gonna die out at sea and it really is heartbreaking. Overall I think this was really good and well worth the watch, even at just 12 minutes. Highly recommended.

The Terminator (1984)

American science fiction action film. It's about a cybernetic assassin who's sent back in time to assassinate a woman whose unborn son will one day save mankind from extinction by a hostile artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic future. So for a few years I've specifically tried to watch movies I know I'll enjoy on my birthday. Stuff like Seven Samurai (1954), Cinema Paradiso (1988), Oldboy (2003), Alien (1979) (which resulted in me watching the rest of that franchise in the days afterwards too) but also Planet of the Apes (2001) last year because at the end of that week I was going to watch the newest one at the cinema and I hadn't yet watched anything beyond the original pentalogy so technically I failed the "watch something I know will be great" thingy because the 2001 Planet of the Apes just isn't good. But back to the present, I decided pretty soon after my birthday last year that it's gonna be the Terminator movies this time around. Another big blind spot of mine that I knew I had to fix at some point. So yeah, this is probably Arnie at his best. And the movie itself is so iconic (I think it's rightfully considered to be one of the greatest 80s movies ever made and that's saying something) that several quotes quotes are maybe even more famous than the movie itself. Quotes like "Come with me if you want to live." and the ever-famous "I'll be back!" are just amazing. What else is there to say about the movie that hasn't already been said? Anyway, I thought this was great. Highly recommended.
