It would be very nice if a similarly conceived documentary was created about the majority of current and past stars of the silver screen. It is valuable because it also focuses on often overlooked chapters of the lives of great actors, i.e., Pierre Richard's adolescence and his acting beginnings. The film features a number of his colleagues and personalities from French culture who comment on his efforts and acting style. Overall impression: 80%.

The Country Teacher is one of the best Czech films of recent times, and it is thus far the most mature work by the talented Bohdan Sláma. All the typical elements of Sláma's work can be found here, i.e., fascination with the countryside, the lives of outsiders that the director supports, and a focus on social and relationship problems. It is also very well-acted, and Pavel Liška broke free from the category of likable fools and eccentrics when he played an intellectual using very subtle acting techniques. It is a film about love, tolerance, and ideals. Overall impression: 80%.

A pleasant romantic film that may not break any new ground in the genre and will never fight for a spot on the top charts, but within its category, it represents above-average quality. It is a film about adolescence and first loves. The casting plays an important role - Ione Skye, primarily known from the TV series Covington Cross, was truly charming as a teenager, and Dexter Fletcher was already an excellent character actor at that age. Overall impression: 70%.

I cannot compare it to the original comedy model from the 80s because I have avoided it so far, but I still have to say that this film is missing a lot of things. It is a dull and average affair on all sides. The actors and the screenplay did not appeal to me. Overall impression: 45%.

An excellent, stylishly polished gem from the workshop of Tim Burton, and one of the best films of the entire decade. It is a comedy and, paradoxically, a tribute to the art of filmmaking and film enthusiasts of all kinds. The film has a superb cast and performances, an excellent screenplay, and offers up many incredibly funny scenes that will stay in one's memory. Although the film was not there at the beginning of the legend of Ed Wood, it significantly contributed to its spread and the creation of a certain cult around this genius in the director's chair. The success of the film was greatly aided by the chameleon actor, Johnny Depp, in the lead role, who gave his character an irresistible charm. Overall impression: 95%.

I think that the current rating on FilmBooster is somewhat influenced by nostalgia because this detective series was broadcast during a time when there was very little quality television production, so it could have become a certain cult series. In any case, the series does have a decent atmosphere and tension. It is a slower, more intimate matter that will not satisfy action enthusiasts. Overall impression: 70%.

Both the book and animated film are excellent. It is a classic that will not be surpassed even by the most modern animated family films from Pixar'. Overall impression: 90%. A satirical allegory about how revolutions quickly rot and former revolutionaries can easily become new masters.

There is one positive thing I have to admit about this film. Out of the three sequels about the indestructible agent, it is the best one, but I have a problem with the whole series, just as I have a problem with the majority of action movies. It is simply an unrealistic fairy tale, where you need to turn off your brain and not think about the numerous holes in the logic. Unlike the series of James Bond films, it lacks style and humorous exaggeration. The third part is the most mature in terms of filmmaking, but paradoxically it lacks a truly worthy opponent compared to the previous two films. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a great actor, but he doesn't get enough space and the script doesn't demonize him enough, and if it weren't for the betrayal, he would play a rather embarrassing role as a quickly defeated opponent. If someone is to stand up to such a brilliant invincible agent like Ethan Hunt and the American Secret Service equipped with hi-tech technology, it must be truly a devil in human form, who aims at least, but I emphasize at least, to take over the world... Overall impression: 45%.

It is indeed a masterpiece of German cinema and the success of the film meant a significant revival in the German film industry of the 90s. I can't claim that I didn't like it - after all, 4 stars indicate that it entertained me at the time, but I still get the feeling that it is somewhat overrated. One positive aspect is the combination of dying with black humor and a positive effort to make the most of every minute of one's life. On the other hand, the humor, which has its great moments, fluctuates and there are also awkward moments, especially toward the end, when Rutger Hauer appears. Then there's the topic itself, which can be considered calculated, which may not be true but also cannot be refuted. Of course, there are much worse versions of tear-jerking sentimental films, so I wouldn't blame Knockin' on Heaven's Door for that. However, I do believe that Thomas Jahn is not a talented director, as his whole career ultimately shows, and he only managed to match the tastes and expectations of the audience in one case. Overall impression: 70%.

The original comics were great. They were aimed more at adult readers with their cynical humor, and although the creators of the animated series have kept the basic outline with all the characters, they have shifted toward non-conflicting family entertainment aimed at a child audience. It's not bad, but it's completely different than what I had hoped for. Overall impression: 50%. The uniqueness has simply vanished, and we are left with routine and mainstream.
