Penny Dreadful series. Remarkable because of its actors. Eva Green alone delivers a complex and impressive portrayal of Vanessa Ives. The story is set in Victorian London and features a cast of characters, including vampires, witches, mediums, historians, explorers. The show also includes iconic figures such as Frankenstein, Van Helsing, and Henry Jekyll. Dorian Gray provides the perfect excuse for a wild array of sexual extravagances detracting from the core supernatural horror drama; this is my only significant gripe.
Join a series about faith and struggle with God, existential dilemmas, and search for meaning. Take the challenge to answer who the monsters are.

"Made in Britain" (1982).
Great screen debut from Tim Roth.

Predator: Killer of Killers is totally badass and redeems what little I didn't like about Prey.

Just finished watching "Companion" (2025) by Drew Hancock

Thoroughly enjoyed this thriller, sci-fi, horror, comedy movie, despite it being a tad gory at times. xD An unhinged and demented look at the power dynamics between an a-hole guy and his robot girl friend, Iris. Though there was nothing original about its theme, the movie did manage to tell its tale in a delightfully unique and twisted manner. I was rooting for Iris until the very end! ;)

True Story. I must admit it drawn on my watchlist for long time due to a few reservations. Firstly, Netflix mini series can be hit or miss, and secondly, the title and poster, featuring a medium shot of Wesley Snipes, led me to believe it was a documentary in chapters about his real life struggles. While that concept could be intriguing, it didn't captivate me enough to invest hours into it.
Forget the confusing poster, I was pleasantly surprised. Wesley Snipes delivers one of his most compelling performances in my opinion, without martial arts action! There are a few aspects I would change about the mini series, but I'll keep those criticisms under wraps to prevent spoilers. Overall, I don't regret my four hours watching it.

Portrait de la jeune fille en feu (Portrait of the Young Lady on Fire) (2019)

With dignity and grace, the director had perfectly depicted the tender interactions between the two principal characters. She had skillfully conveyed the pure and rather delicate bond formed between them. With stellar performances by the actresses portraying Marianne (Noémie Merlant), Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), and, last, but, certainly not least, Sophie (Luàna Bajrami), it is a tale that remains with the viewer long after its conclusion. Unlike other relatively recent films, nearly all of which had proven themselves to be utter disappointments, it had exceeded my expectations. I will fondly remember the experience, and look forward to additional viewings in the not-too-distant future.

This remarkable cinematic achievement stands in stark contrast to vulgar works such as 'La Vie d'Adèle : Chapitres 1 et 2' (The Life of Adèle: Chapters 1 & 2), in which the male director had projected his pathetically narrow (and perverted) vision of how two women express their mutual 'affection'.
