In Moonfall, the moon falls to earth from space

Roland Emmerich’s latest catastrophe epic sums it up: the moon is falling. Featuring an ensemble cast of Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, Michael Peña and Donald Sutherland, moonfall is a bit of a throwback to an era when disaster movies were a more fashionable blockbuster genre.

From our review:

Emmerich made a name for himself as one of the last great disaster movie kings. The genre that made him famous through films like independence Day and The day after tomorrow, has fallen out of favor as cinematic destruction has largely become the purview of superhero films. moonfall is a throwback to that sort of spectacle, but it’s one that makes a terrible argument for the genre’s return. Which is a shame because moonfall is a killer title/premise combo, the kind of cinematic cheese that makes blockbuster lovers perk up at the sheer weirdness (sorry) of it all.

attack on Titan Director Tetsurō Araki, Writer Gen Urobuchi (Magi Madoke’s magical girl), character designer Takeshi Obata (death notice) and composer Hiroyuki Sawano (Promare) combine to create a contemporary riff by Hans Christian Andersen The little mermaid With bladder, the latest Netflix original anime feature produced by Wit Studio. The film is set in an alternate universe where Tokyo has been cut off from the outside world after gravity-defying bubbles rain down from the sky onto a roof, only to be rescued by Uta, a mysterious girl with miraculous powers.

From our review:

bladder is at its best when it comes to the psychology of its main character rather than the dramatically sluggish menace of enraged magic bubbles. It sheds more light on its cast when it’s not about its ridiculous “Tokyo Battlekour” rivalries. And the ending of the film is beautiful, no matter how unformed the ideas behind it are. It’s a nicely animated movie about the little mermaid learning parkour. This commitment to the anime tradition of taking literary adaptations in totally unexpected directions has to count for something.

Crush

Massimo (Michele Morrone) gives Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) a gigantic erotic chin licking in the hot tub in 365 Days: This Day

365 days: This day goes past the cliffhanger of the 2020 Polish-Italian adult drama as the budding marriage of Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) and her former kidnapper-turned-lover, Massimo (Michele Morrone) is not only of Massimo’s crime family, but also of threatened by a rival love interest who will stop at nothing to seduce Laura for himself. How does it compare to the original?

From our review:

Debased by the problematic premise of the first film, This day is easier than enjoying guilt-free camp. There are moments of mature, tasteless abandon that are downright hilarious, on purpose or (more likely) not. The White Bride Lamborghini. Then the honeymoon game of sex golf, where Laura Pole dances on the flag of the green spreads her legs to invite Massimo’s putt. The shackles with the gold embossing “Fuck Me”. The extraordinary display of glasses as Massimo and Laura conceal their cross-eyed pouts, clogged frowns and contorted sex faces in increasingly extravagant arrangements of tinted glass. (Speak over 50 shades.)
