HYMYILEVA MIES (THE HAPPIEST DAY IN THE LIFE OF OLLI MAKI)
Watchable. Painfully slow. You just see them pouring each cup of coffee. The whole thing is about how distracting love is when you're supposed to be doing something important and instead you keep thinking about that person. Nothing unusual. Can serve only as a wake-up call for people experiencing the same.
SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE
Watchable. Latest Smurfs are up-to-date with tech gadgets so they snap pictures with a mobile... ladybird and use firefly torches. Some ideas are taken from other films and tales, e.g. slow mo in the air like in "Inception", a bluish forest with flowers glowing in the dark reminiscent of "Avatar", lines from "Little Red Riding Hood" and they look and sound tacky. A delightful original concept is a colourful, translucent river reflecting the rich and vivid vegetation and changing hues with the current. A number of pop songs are featured, including famous "I'm Blue" by Eiffel 69, here gaining a new cute meaning. There's a mid-credit scene with Gargamel. Earlier on I heard a child imitating Azrael's meowing so the movie's fun for kids too.

IT COMES AT NIGHT
Walked out. Chit-chat in a cabin and a deadly epidemic in a forest.
I heard from my movie companion that in Pakistan there was just one one-screen cinema in a one-million city. The country's deprived of entertainment. I clearly wouldn't survive there.
