Remakes (the few better than the original films and the numerous which are only a pale shadow of them)
How many remakes in 2010! Among them, all but one were much worse than the original film! It is also remarkable that, while the United States use to copy films from other countries, it generally results in worse versions of them.

- DirectorGeorges MélièsStarsOctavie HuvierGaston MélièsGeorges MélièsIn what is considered to be the first remake in the history of cinema, the grand French director, Georges Méliès, directs his very first short film, influenced by the Lumière Brothers' original story in "Partie d'écarté (1896)".The first film of Georges Méliès is also considered as the first remake ever, of a Louis Lumière's film.
Original movie: 1896.
1896 = 1896 - DirectorCharles ChaplinStarsCharles ChaplinEdna PurvianceWesley RugglesCharles Chaplin, a convict, is given $5.00 and released from prison after having served his term. He meets a man of the church who makes him weep for his sins and while he is weeping takes the $5.00 away from him. Chaplin goes to a fruit stand and samples the fruit. When he goes to pay for it he finds his $5.00 is missing. This results in a battle with the fruit dealer, but Chaplin finally escapes. He is held up by a footpad and finds it is his former cellmate. He is inveigled into joining him in robbing a house. They put a police officer out of commission with a mallet and stack up the silverware. They then start upstairs to search the upper rooms, but are met by a young woman who implores them to leave because her mother is ill and fears the shock will kill her. Chaplin's heart is touched but the footpad insists on ransacking the house. This results in a battle between the footpad and Chaplin. While they are fighting, a squad of police arrives. The footpad makes his escape, but the police capture Chaplin. The woman of the house, however, saves him by telling the police he is her husband. She gives him a dollar and he leaves. He goes to a lodging house and in order to save his dollar from thieves puts it in his mouth, swallowing it while he sleeps. A crook robs all the men in the lodging house but Chaplin takes the money away from him, and also the rings his "pal" had stolen. This starts a battle in which all join. Chaplin flees. In order to do a good turn to the woman who had saved him from the police, he takes her rings back.It is a comedic remake of a Western (although I don't think the film fits the genre very well) called "His regeneration" in which Chaplin appears in a cameo as a customer in the saloon. The only interesting scene in the original film is exactly the one starred by Charlie Chaplin. Both films are very different in spite of having basically the same general plot.
Original movie: 1915.
1916 > 1915 - DirectorJoseph LoseyStarsDavid WayneHoward Da SilvaMartin GabelIn this Americanization of the 1931 German thriller, both the police and the criminal underworld stalk a mysterious serial killer who preys on little girls.Both movies are nice, but the original one, a classic directed by Fritz Lang, is much better. Not only it has the merits of the originality, what the remake obviously lacks (and the screenplay is particularly similar, very true to the version from the 30's), but also the filmmaking of the German movie is much richer and more interesting.
Original movie: 1931.
1951 < 1931 - DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsJames StewartDoris DayBrenda de BanzieAn American doctor and his wife, a former singing star, witness a murder while vacationing in Morocco, and are drawn into a twisting plot of international intrigue when their young son is kidnapped.Two films with the same title from the same director, master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock. Like him, and differently from Truffaut, I considered this remake with James Stewart and Doris Day as a worse movie than British older film with Peter Lorre.
Original movie: 1934.
1956 < 1934 - DirectorWerner HerzogStarsKlaus KinskiIsabelle AdjaniBruno GanzCount Dracula moves from Transylvania to Wismar, spreading the Black Plague across the land. Only a woman pure of heart can bring an end to his reign of horror.Klaus Kinski, the villain in so many Westerns, plays Count Dracula here. This is a tribute to F.W. Murnau and Max Schreck's classical film. Both are very nice, but made with very different resources as the original one was silent and unsurprisingly filmed with worse deffiniton.
Original movie: 1922.
1979 > 1922 - DirectorFranco ZeffirelliStarsJon VoightFaye DunawayRicky SchroderBilly Flynn is an ex-champion boxer who was KO'd by booze and gambling. When the wealthy, estranged mother of his young son begins trying to lure the boy away from him, Flynn must return to the ring to provide for his child.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsAl PacinoMichelle PfeifferSteven BauerIn 1980 Miami, a determined Cuban immigrant takes over a drug cartel and succumbs to greed.Both Brian De Palma's remake and the original noir movie are very nice. In the original film, Tony Camonte (played by Paul Muni) is an Italian American mafia mobster, while in the remake Al Pacino plays Cuban gangster Tony Montana. Both are funny, kitsch, greedy and have the scar on the cheek, but perhaps Pacino's violent character is slighly better. Though, Michelle Pfeiffer makes her Elvira Hancock a more interesting character than Karen Morley's Poppy.
Original movie: 1932.
1983 = 1932 - DirectorNeville de AlmeidaStarsCláudia RaiaLouise CardosoAlexandre FrotaIn Rio de Janeiro, after an altercation with his father and mother, a young man named Bebeto kills his family and goes to a movie theater, where he watches four weird vignettes. The first one is about a wealthy woman, Márcia, bored with her marriage, who decides to spend a couple of days alone in her house in Petrópolis. When her best friend Renata unexpectedly arrives to stay with her, they get drunk and something tragic happens. The second one is about a loser who arrives home upset and drunk, and kills his family. The third one is about a tragic repressed lesbian relationship. The last one is about a man addicted to stealing women's underwear.
- DirectorGeorge P. CosmatosKevin JarreStarsKurt RussellVal KilmerSam ElliottA successful lawman's plans to retire anonymously in Tombstone, Arizona are disrupted by the kind of outlaws he was famous for eliminating.I think we may consider "Tombstone" as a remake of "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral", although its story is a bit broader, as the main characters are pretty the same and both show a version of that famous shooting. John Sturges's film with Burt Lancaster is nice but the revisionist Western with Kurt Russell in the role of moustached Wyatt Earp is considerably better. Even the best thing in the 50's movie, the gunman and bohemian gambler Doc Holliday portrayed by Kirk Douglas, has a better version in "Tombstone" with Val Kilmer in the best work of his career.
Original movie: 1957.
1993 > 1957 - DirectorRobert RodriguezStarsAntonio BanderasSalma HayekJoaquim de AlmeidaFormer musician and gunslinger El Mariachi arrives at a small Mexican border town after being away for a long time. His past quickly catches up with him and he soon gets entangled with the local drug kingpin Bucho and his gang.This is at the same time a sequel and a remake. While the first version had a lower budget, the sequel/remake was made for Hollywood, with famous actors. The latter has some elements borrowed from Westerns which the former does not.
Original movie: 1992.
1995 = 1992 - DirectorDavid HoganStarsPamela AndersonAmir AboulElaAdriana AlexanderDuring the Second American Civil War in 2017, Barb Wire owns a nightclub called the Hammerhead. Things become complicated when her ex-lover Axel Hood, who is married to the fugitive Corrina Devonshire, re-enters her life."Barb Wire" keeps the core elements of classical "Casablanca" but adapts it to a distopic sci-fi action futuristic movie. Pamela Anderson plays Barb, a role similar to Bogart's Rick. The gender of the love affair from the past and of the third part of the love triangle have also been changed. The ficcional town of Steel Harbor in the United States replaces Casablanca and the story is held during a futuristic Second Civil War rather than in the beginning of World War II. Both protagonists own a bar/nightclub, but Barb Wire is also a bounty huntress. As this remake is a sci-fi film, special contact lenses that cheat retinal scans substitute the letters of transit kept with Rick.
Off course "Casablanca" is much better, but surprisingly "Barb Wire" is not bad.
Original movie: 1942.
1996 < 1942 - DirectorGus Van SantStarsVince VaughnAnne HecheJulianne MooreA young female embezzler arrives at the Bates Motel, which has terrible secrets of its own.The remake is relatively good. Its pace is slower than would be desirable. The original version directed by Hitchcock is much better, by far: you get much more involved with what happens in the story and it is much more psychological.
Original movie: 1960.
1998 < 1960 - DirectorHarold RamisStarsBrendan FraserElizabeth HurleyFrances O'ConnorHopeless dweeb Elliot Richards is granted seven wishes by the Devil to snare Allison, the girl of his dreams, in exchange for his soul.Neither better, nor worse. Both movies are very nice. The one with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, from 1967, is extremely funny. This remake with a silly guy well played by Brendam Fraser and the astonishingly sexy Liz Hurley follows the same idea, but with diferent situations. It is obvious which devil is more beautiful, but how can we decide which one is the best?
Original movie: 1967.
2000 = 1967 - DirectorTim BurtonStarsMark WahlbergHelena Bonham CarterTim RothIn 2029, an Air Force astronaut crash-lands on a mysterious planet where evolved, talking apes dominate a race of primitive humans.I don't think that it is a bad film, as it is very often rated. Though, it is clearly much worse than the excellent original "Planet of Apes". While the movie from 2001 is just a nice action film, the one from 1968 is a remarkable distopic story, with important political and sociological reflections.
Original movie: 1968.
2001 < 1968 - DirectorJames MangoldStarsRussell CroweChristian BaleBen FosterA small-time rancher agrees to hold a captured outlaw who's awaiting a train to go to court in Yuma. A battle of wills ensues as the outlaw tries to psych out the rancher.Both are nice films, but the remake has better action scenes (the final chase, for example) and a much stronger acting. The relation between both main characters and the tension have been much more deeply explored in the more recent movie.
Original movie: 1957.
2007 > 1957 - DirectorGustavo Nieto RoaStarsReynaldo GianecchiniPaolla OliveiraRicardo PradoTwo strangers meet in a nightclub and end up spending the night together in a hotel.Globo Filmes tries to transform Brazilian cinema in a TV show. Generally it happens with poor stories. This is not exactly the case here: the idea is fantastic. Unfortunately, it was stolen from the innovative Chilean film "En la cama", by far better than this pale copy (which I think that is unauthorized).
Original movie: 2005.
2008 < 2005 - DirectorJulio MedemStarsElena AnayaNatasha YarovenkoEnrico Lo VersoA hotel room in the center of Rome serves as the setting for two young and recently acquainted women to have a physical adventure that touches their very souls.Another remake for "En la cama", a movie from Chile. Differently from Brazilian unofficial one (see above, in 2008), though, this Spanish remake is quite good and acknowledges that it is based in the Chilean film. The greatest differences are that the European film is a lesbian remake and also shows much more sex and (beautiful) nudity than the Andean original movie. I consider the latter better, but the former is also nice.
Original movie: 2005.
2010 < 2005 - DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsJeff BridgesMatt DamonHailee SteinfeldA stubborn teenager enlists the help of a tough U.S. Marshal to track down her father's murderer.The first version, with John Wayne, is nice, but this is a rare case in which a remake is better than the original film. What a Western! In my opinion this is the best of the many good films by brothers Coen.
Original movie: 1969.
2010 > 1969 - DirectorLouis LeterrierStarsSam WorthingtonLiam NeesonRalph FiennesPerseus, a demigod and the son of Zeus, battles the minions of Hades and the Underworld in order to stop them from conquering Olympus and Earth.The same mess within Greek mythology but without the charming stop motion: a hero called Perseus mounts Pegasus (which was mounted by Belerephon and not by Perseus in the Greek legend) to save Andromeda from the sea monster Kraken (which is Nordic! The monster from whom Perseus saved her in the legend was Cetus). Oh, the remake also adds Arabian djinns, who were fortunately absent in the original film!
Original movie: 1981.
2010 < 1981 - DirectorJoe CarnahanStarsLiam NeesonBradley CooperSharlto CopleyA group of Iraq War veterans look to clear their name with the U.S. Military, who suspect the four men of committing a crime for which they were framed.Although true to the original four characters (what is a great merit) and having two of the leading actors from the old TV series making cameo appearences (what would be nice if it had taken much more time), the film is bad. Original TV series was by far funnier too.
Original TV series: 1983-1987.
2010 < 1980's - DirectorHarald ZwartStarsJackie ChanJaden SmithTaraji P. HensonWork causes a single mother to move to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces kung fu, taught to him by a master.A Karate Kid movie in which the characters fight kung fu (with mortal jumps and all that stuff) instead of karate is bizarre. That is not the only problem. Remember Cobra Kai guys disguised as skeletons running after Daniel? Or the training in which Miyagi makes Daniel work for him in his house? And the final fight in the tournment ending with a special kick? Everything is worse in the new version. Besides that, we can see the old arrogance of chosing an American character to go to the East and beat all the Easterns in a fight tournment.
Original movie: 1984.
2010 < 1984 - DirectorMatt ReevesStarsKodi Smit-McPheeChloë Grace MoretzRichard JenkinsA bullied young boy befriends a young female vampire who lives in secrecy with her guardian.Not a bad film but, please, forget it! Watch the brilliant Swedish original movie "Låt den rätte komma in" (Let the right one in)! The story is identical, but the American one is an inferior and unnecessary copy.
Original movie: 2008.
2010 < 2008 - DirectorPaul T. ScheuringStarsAdrien BrodyCam GigandetForest Whitaker26 men are chosen to participate in the roles of guards and prisoners in a psychological study that ultimately spirals out of control.The original German movie is breathtaking. I have not watched this remake full, but, in spite of great actors such as Forest Whitaker and Adrien Brody, it was enough to notice that I cannot say the same about it.
Original movie: 2001.
2010 < 2001 - DirectorCraig GillespieStarsAnton YelchinColin FarrellDavid Tennant"Fright Night" - A new neighbor moves in next to Charley, who discovers that he is an ancient vampire who preys on the community. Can he save his neighborhood from the creature with the help of the famous "vampire killer", Peter Vincent?It is hard to say which one is better. It is fair to put both as equaly good. I consider Colin Farrel's version in the remake of Jerry Dandrige, the vampire, much better than original one, and I also think that the newest Evil Ed was the best version of Charley Brewster's friend. The way the blood-sucking neighbor enters Charley's house is also more sophisticated in the remake, although the former was not bad either. Though, besides the merit of originality, the first film plays in a very charming way with B horror films in television, shows nice special effects (particularly the metamorphosis), also has an extremely nice Peter Vincent.
Original movie: 1985.
2011 = 1985 - DirectorKimberly PeirceStarsChloë Grace MoretzJulianne MooreGabriella WildeA shy girl, outcast by her peers and sheltered by her religious mother, unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.This remake is a pale, superficial and boring version of the original horror one, which has been well directed by Brian De Palma. You don't feel anything when you watch it, while the 1976 version makes you nervous, as it is highly psychological. In the 2013 remake, all the characters are unconvincing, including Carrie (who looks more like a Force user from a Star Wars reboot) and her mother (good actress Julianne Moore does a bad job here, just like in another unsuccessful remake, "Psycho" from 1998). In the original one, you feel deeply Carrie as a victim of bullying and her mother's fanatical religious-influenced behavior is truly disturbing. In this one, nothing impacts.
Original movie: 1976.
2013 < 1976 - DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppArmie HammerWilliam FichtnerNative American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.This great and underrated film can be seen as a remake of the first TV episode "Enter the Lone Ranger", as both show the origin of the Lone Ranger and of his relationship with Tonto. Cleary this version from 2013 is by far better, with no possible comparison. Depp's Tonto, particularly, is shown as a much stronger character than the Indian who said "me" instead of "I" more than a half century ago.
Original live action version, in the first TV episode: 1949.
2013 > 1949 - DirectorCharles IngramStarsAlessandra AmbrosioBette BentleyDeAndre JordanTwo nerds (Breaking Bad's RJ Mitte and Mad Men's Marten Holden Weiner) attempt to create the ultimate babe (Alessandro Ambrosio) in their basement with a little help from some strange chemistry.This is a short film inspired in the 80's classic "Weird Science". It does not follow the same story, but perhaps could be seen as a spoof remake. It is better than the original one, which I liked a lot when younger but noticed really serious problems when I re-watched it many years later. Oh, I also cannot help but mention: Alessandra Ambrosio is one of the most beautiful women in the world ever. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/X2rjrVydWWs
Original movie: 1985.
2013 > 1985 - DirectorMoacyr GóesStarsJoão MiguelLeandra LealLetícia ColinIn his film, "Pretty, But Ordinary", the renowned Brazilian writer, Nelson Rodrigues, works with the idea of temptation that has plagued man since the beginning of time (part of the human condition, as it were). "Pretty..." is the story of a young man named Edgard. His girlfriend, Ritinha, is a simple and attractive woman who works as a teacher to support her three sisters and deranged mother. He also suffers financial hardships, and also supports his mother, widower to a man that never had any money, not even for his own funeral. Edgard tries to make do in a low ranking job at the company of millionaire Mr. Wernecks. The story begins when Peixoto, son-in-law and employee to Werneck, makes Edgard the indecent proposition to marry his boss' daughter, Maria Cecilia. At a bar, fueled by alcohol and the trauma of his dads poverty, Edgard accepts. At Mr. Wernecks house, he learns Maria Cecilia has been badly raped and is in urgent need of a fiancé, even if he has to be bought. Edgard is shocked by the proposal and walks out his boss' house. The following day, he receives a visit from Peixoto, accompanied by Maria Cecilia, who asks him to reconsider his decision. He goes back to Mr. Werneck, who hands him a cashier's check worth millions. At first Edgard does not accept the check. He says he's not a Peixoto. But the old man insists. He wants to prove Edgard is just like Peixoto; he says that, in Brazil, everyone is a Peixoto, a very current theme. From that moment on, the story revolves around the temptation that may imprison the young man.The famous amoral play by Nelson Rodrigues has been adapted three times for cinema. I have not watched the first one, from 1963. This last version is better than the previous one, from 1981. Therefore, this is not really a remake, but a comparison about the two adaptations of the play I watched among the three that have been made.
Previous movie: 1981.
2013 > 1981 - DirectorJosé PadilhaStarsJoel KinnamanGary OldmanMichael KeatonIn 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy, a loving husband, father and good cop, is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.The remake is by far a better film than the overrated original movie. Though, I admit that I am also one of the few people in the world who think that the first Robocop film is the worst of the franchise, worse than "Robocop 2" and much worse than "Robocop 3" (my favorite of the four).
Original movie: 1987.
2014 > 1987 - DirectorGeorge MillerStarsTom HardyCharlize TheronNicholas HoultIn a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in search for her homeland with the aid of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshiper and a drifter named Max.It is not really a remake, but one more sequel to the original "Mad Max", from 1979, which tells us the origin of that post-apocalyptic world, just as the two Mel Gibson's sequels. The three sequels have no clear chronology and we are sure only that the three stories happen after the first one (that is why I included both 1981 and 1985 films as "the original movie" of this "remake"). 2015 movie has been a great sucess and I know that my opinion is deviant: I think it was not bad but deffinitely not that special either. The story is simplistic, and visual effects made it just confusing. There was a great effort to develop a new part of that world, just like the previous sequels to 1979 film, but the outcome was far from the one the impressive and convincing 1981 movie (a.k.a. "Road Warrior") achieved. Besides that, a much more skilled Max was expected for this "revisitation", as the decision was to keep the same character Max Rockatansky portrayed by another actor.
Original movie: 1981?
Original movie: 1985?
2015 < 1981
2015 = 1985 - DirectorPaul FeigStarsMelissa McCarthyKristen WiigKate McKinnonFollowing a ghost invasion of Manhattan, paranormal enthusiasts Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates, nuclear engineer Jillian Holtzmann, and subway worker Patty Tolan band together to stop the otherworldly threat.It may not be as nice as original Ghostbusters movie, but the complaints against it are not fair at all. This is a nice remake and homage (in references and cameos). Funny most of the time, good idea to switch the gender of the ghostbusters (and also to poke on sexism by introducing character Kevin).
Original movie: 1984.
2016 < 1984 - DirectorAntoine FuquaStarsDenzel WashingtonChris PrattEthan HawkeSeven gunmen from a variety of backgrounds are brought together by a vengeful young widow to protect her town from the private army of a destructive industrialist.Excellent remake, better than original classic. Background is better developped in the recent film, which follows the very same idea.
Original movie: 1960.
2016 > 1960 - DirectorRupert SandersStarsScarlett JohanssonPilou AsbækTakeshi KitanoIn the near future, Major Mira Killian is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals.A mainstream sci-fi action film full of slow motion. Much worse than classy original Japanese animation movie, without its deepness.
Original movie: 1995.
2017 < 1995 - DirectorPedro VasconcelosStarsJuliana PaesLeandro HassumMarcelo FariaDona Flor marries Vadinho, who is very handsome and passionate, but does not offer him much. She supports the family by cooking for her neighbors, but the husband bets most of the money. Vadinho dies suddenly and Dona Flor begins to miss the wedding. She marries the doctor Teodoro Madureira, but he is the opposite of Vadinho. While Dona Flor is married to Theodore, the ghost of her late husband appears.Not properly a remake, but a newer adaptation of a famous Brazilian novel. Differently from the first movie, the most recent is a boring and cheesy film, with a quite bad casting. Soundtrack annoys and is always out of place, trying desperately to induce something actors are unable to do. All Teodoro's supposedly funny scenes are a disaster (what is no surprise, as that comedian is always unfunny). Besides the original film, there was also a good TV series from 1998.
Original movie: 1976.
2017 < 1976 - DirectorSeth GordonStarsDwayne JohnsonZac EfronAlexandra DaddarioDevoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon butts heads with a brash new recruit, as they uncover a criminal plot that threatens the future of the bay.The original TV show was just OK, entertaining, far from being a great one. However, this cheesy, silly and predictable flick full of slow motion and unfunny gags is much worse.
Original TV series: 1989/99.
2017 < 1989/99 - DirectorKim Jee-woonStarsHan Hyo-jooJohnny Yong BoschTodd HaberkornSet in the distant future where both North and South Koreas agree to establish a joint government, which has been in preparation for a duration of 7 years, the plot focuses on political uprisings on opposing sides which grow fierce when a special police unit is formed to stop the chaos.This live action remake puts the story in the future instead of the past and in Korea instead of Japan. However, it follows the original in many ways, not only in story but also including some similar footage. The 1999 movie has an amaxing animation job, whereas this remake has a beautiful cinematography. I like both, the original movie is one of my favorite Japanese films, and it is hard to say which of them is better. I saw this live action remake be criticized as more superficial than the original animation film. I strongly disagree. That does happen in Hollywood remake for another anime classic, Ghost in the shell, listed above, not with this Korean Netflix film.
Original movie: 1999.
2018 = 1999 - DirectorMurilo BenícioStarsDébora FalabellaMarcelo FloresStênio GarciaBased on the homonymous play written by Nelson Rodrigues. When witnessing a hit by a car, Arandir, a newly married bank clerk, tries to help the victim, but the man, almost dead, has only time to make one last request: a kiss. Arandir kisses the man, but his act is caught by his father-in-law Aprígio and photographed by Amado Ribeiro, a sensationalist police reporter.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsColin FarrellMichael KeatonDanny DeVitoA young elephant, whose oversized ears enable him to fly, helps save a struggling circus, but when the circus plans a new venture, Dumbo and his friends discover dark secrets beneath its shiny veneer.Beautiful remake. It is not as good as the original animated classic, but is a nice homage and adaptation to present concerns.
Original movie: 1941.
2019 < 1941 - DirectorGuy RitchieStarsWill SmithMena MassoudNaomi ScottAladdin, a kind thief, woos Jasmine, the princess of Agrabah, with the help of Genie. When Jafar, the grand vizier, tries to usurp the king, Jasmine, Aladdin and Genie must stop him from succeeding.
- DirectorTravon FreeMartin Desmond RoeStarsJoey Bada$$ZariaVincent MordenteA man trying to get home to his dog gets stuck in a time loop that forces him to relive a deadly run-in with a cop.Academy Awards short film winner is plagiarism with a much worse outcome than the original video.

2020< 2016 - DirectorCamilo CavalcanteStarsMarcelia CartaxoLeonardo FrançaDébora IngridThe History of Eternity is a synesthetic essay about love, desires and dreams. The entire narrative takes place in the same village with approximately 40 inhabitants in a desert landscape, a geographical point in northeastern Brazil with specific references in relation to time and space. A secluded place where everything happens at a measured pace, inspiring extremely visceral moments within the cycle that repeats itself eternally on the stage of human tragedy.
- DirectorOleg TrofimStarsTikhon ZhiznevskiyLyubov AksyonovaSergei GoroshkoSupercop Grom fights crime in St. Petersburg - an uphill battle. A vigilante starts killing the powerful, who escaped justice.While short film is very nice, with amazing action scenes, its sequel and feature version keeps the very same qualities and also bring more elements. Character's interesting background has been developed in the longer version, which also brings an amazing villain after the same ones from the short movie.
Original movie: 2017.

- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsTimothée ChalametRebecca FergusonZendayaA noble family becomes embroiled in a war for control over the galaxy's most valuable asset while its heir becomes troubled by visions of a dark future.David Lynch's film was weird but charming, with amazing visual.
