Poor Things Movie Review. Perhaps the Strangest Experience of 2024
Poor Things is not a typical film. It's a perfect trap for the viewer who expects a garden-variety cinema. Meanwhile, it's hard to get a weirder experience than the one offered by a screening of a Yórgos Lánthimos' production.

Echo Review. Because of Shows Like This, MCU is Hitting the Bottom
Echo is the latest series to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But will this several-episode production disenchant the bad spell hanging over the MCU for some time? You'll find out in our review.

Detective Forst - Review. Netflix's Show is a Decent Crime Series and... Festival of Wasted Potential
Not yet this time. We'll have to wait for a really great Polish detective story. In the meantime, you can watch the Forst series from Netflix. It's unlikely to knock you out, but at least you'll kill time with a fairly decent production.
![True Detective: Night Country - Review. Season 4 is Mastery, Yet Lacks Original's Artistic Frenzy](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/442604107.jpg)
True Detective: Night Country - Review. Season 4 is Mastery, Yet Lacks Original's Artistic Frenzy
A sense of isolation, a beleaguered, bone-cutting darkness and frost, and great acting. This is what True Detective's return to form looks like. The fourth season is almost as good as the first one. Only one aspect from the original is missing – a touch of madness.

Rebel Moon - review. It Was Supposed To Be Zack Snyder's Hit, But It's a Disappointment
We have a review of Rebel Moon, a sci-fi spectacle from the famous director Zack Snyder. Can Netflix's much-announced space opera compete with Star Wars?

The Expendables 4 - review. The movie is so clumsy, that John Wick beats them by standing still
I can't believe what I saw. The Expendables 4 is such a crappy movie that it might as well be on TV with one star. This walking nightmare leaves no doubt - the end of the franchise has come.
![The Creator review. Impressive But Not a Flawless Film](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/440778787.jpg)
The Creator review. Impressive But Not a Flawless Film
The Creator is a stunning film both visually and in terms of acting. You can't take your eyes off the production, it engages you throughout the entire duration. Even despite some plot points that aren't entirely coherent.
![Netflix's 1670 Review. Polish Answer to The Office Set in Baroque Just Works](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/440263174.jpg)
Netflix's 1670 Review. Polish Answer to The Office Set in Baroque Just Works
Some may feel offended by 1670, but this show shouldn't be treated as offensive. It's a good satire of Poland and its nobles. The sad news is that the style and overall direction has more pros than the story.
![Monster Anime Is The Best Thriller You Don't Know](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/440249024.jpg)
Monster Anime Is The Best Thriller You Don't Know
There are anime that break the cultural barrier and become - or should become - universal classics. This group includes the outstanding Monster, available on Netflix. Until recently it was cult only in certain circles. It's time to change that.
![Killers of the Flower Moon is Simply a Masterpiece](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/440169652.jpg)
Killers of the Flower Moon is Simply a Masterpiece
The American, 20th-century epic of greed, lies, fake countenances and corrupt souls. Here’s a review of Martin Scorsese Viewed at London Film Festival.
![Godzilla Minus One makes my skin crawl. The Japanese king of monsters is back](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/439567497.jpg)
Godzilla Minus One makes my skin crawl. The Japanese king of monsters is back
Godzilla Minus One may serve for other filmmakers as a hallmark for how to make monster movies. The Japanese monster is destructive, but the movie wouldn't be a success without humans and their stories.
![Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a Startling Story of Human Nature](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/439048663.jpg)
Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a Startling Story of Human Nature
Francis Lawrence returns with a compelling prequel to Hunger Games. Time to go back 64 years and listen to this whole ballad.
![Rick and Morty S07 is a Diluted Residue of Great SF and It Makes Me Sad](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/438438087.jpg)
Rick and Morty S07 is a Diluted Residue of Great SF and It Makes Me Sad
Rick and Morty used to impress us with crazy stories full of pop-culture references and dark humor. With time, the show lost its teeth and by season 7, it’s almost exclusively disappointing.
![We’ve Seen New Wes Anderson in Venice. Charming Escapism Amidst Grey Reality](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/438349719.jpg)
We’ve Seen New Wes Anderson in Venice. Charming Escapism Amidst Grey Reality
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is the latest film by Anderson, which (finally) is less exalted, cooler and, most importantly, done with elan.
![Netflix’ The Fall of the House of Usher is an Adaptation That Doesn’t Get the Original](https://cdn.gracza.pl/i_gp/h/16/437843459.jpg)
Netflix’ The Fall of the House of Usher is an Adaptation That Doesn’t Get the Original
Edgar Allan Poe is famous for his introspective novels that explore the frontier of our cognition. Mike Flanagan, on the other hand, slips on human ego like a frog on ice, making The Fall of the House of Usher merely pretending an adaptation.
