LUCIFER

Watchable. Mexican village folklore is about the only asset of the otherwise slow film about nothing with ugly actors. A colourful bore.

ICH SEH, ICH SEH (GOODNIGHT MOMMY)

Watchable. Similar to "Funny Games" but here the two boys are children. With a horror twist. The storyline is good but poor acting and some pointless psychological/nudity scenes ruin the effect.


NIGHT FILM MARATHON - TARANTINOC (TARANTINIGHT)

I skipped "The Hateful Eight" having seen it just 4 days earlier.

PULP FICTION

Recommended. The dialogues and situational surprises are a gem.

JACKIE BROWN

Recommended. A perfect heist movie. Keeps you trying to figure out who'll get the upper hand.


ALVIN AND THE CHIMPUNKS: THE ROAD CHIP

Recommended. Never mind the child-like voices of the chipmunks, especially in the Polish dubbing.  The pets are cute, the film hilarious (e.g. "I can't run so fast!" "Think about donuts!") and heart-gripping, the locations glamorous. A perfect family movie.

LA LOI DU MARCHE (THE MEASURE OF A MAN)

Watchable. Very realistic, like watching the protagonist minute by minute so it's quite slow, its aim is to help you relive some distressing life issues when it shows the eponymous law of market. Also, you can learn some trivia of supermarket security work.

JANIS

Watchable. Clearly made at the wake of the "Amy" success. But it lacks its drama. The film just consists of: people talking, Janis Joplin singing, people talking about her, Janis singing again etc. All in all it tells a sad story of a sensitive girl drugging herself to death.
