Spider-man: Homecoming – 2017

The reinvention of the Spider-man franchise was not a desperate need in cinema, but for the third time in a decade, the wall-crawler was reborn. Sony has long had the rights to Spider-man and they turned out five solo movies, but thanks to a brilliant partnership with Marvel and Disney they have merged Spidey into […]

Córki Dancingu – 2015

Definitely one of the weirdest movies I’ve seen recently. This film takes its inspiration from Hans Christian Anderson’s Little Mermaid, but sets it in a nightclub in 1980s Poland.
