Movie reviews

ROUGH NIGHT

Watchable. Lots of product placement, including even diapers for adults, and PC stuff: gays, fat people, colour - everyone. Hard drugs get a green light which I find disturbingly common in American productions. Is it really OK to market them in movies? But the rest is really good. Kate McKinnon, Scarlett Johansson, Demi Moore appear in a comedy of errors with great music. Some hilarious scenes like the one with "How many strippers did you order?" or "I think it's the stress of killing the guy and trying to dispose of his body." "Like what?!" The mid-credit is essential as the presented event is the continuation of the story and features a hilarious song. The post-credit is less important.

Seen in the comfort of my regular Cinema City.

GAME OF THRONES - SEASON 7 EPISODE 1

Watchable. Made for telly so the big cinema screen didn't make it look any better. The blurred contours of the background looked fake while on TV they must be just fine. No cruelty, one multiple death, no nudity in the episode. Looks like women will have a lot to say this season. A number of jokes I didn't find funny. Only one was so-so: a rider overhears a group of men singing: "I don't know this song. Is it a new one?" and Ed Sheeran replies: "Yes, a new one." All in all, I'm not very curious what's going to happen next. Can live without it.

ALIBI.COM

Watchable.  The idea of and the working procedures of the company are ingenious and some gags are good fun but most are silly. Over the credits there's a stupid song, nothing more.

21 X NOWY JORK

Watchable. In spite of good music this docu-drama is tiring, often feels protracted. It presents plenty of average people preoccupied with trying to build relationships. New York, which is the background to the people stories, appears as multiethnic and multicultural as London with the difference that London is less deranged and far more prudish. I mean my London, couldn't help comparing, the city doesn't appear here.

NOMA, MY PERFECT STORM

Watchable. Good to watch for the behind-the-stage look at the world's No. 1 restaurant, purely for the informative value. You also hear of the racism the Macedonian owner experiences in Denmark. Still, no tension or emotion accompanies this documentary so as a film it's just OK.
