When the first Expendables movie came out way, the gimmick of bringing together iconic action stars like Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger into one film was exciting and entertaining.

Anyway, the story this time around, in case you were remotely interested in knowing, sees Barney Ross (Stallone) leading his team to Libya, where arms dealer Rahmat (Uwais) is trying to steal some nuclear detonators for a mysterious terrorist named Ocelot. That's all you really need to know, really, as what follows is a story that doesn't even bother to make sense at all. Well, this one makes even less sense than usual, with a script that was probably 'written' by prompting ChatGPT to 'write an Expendables script with lots of stupid and gross jokes'. Jokes about bodily fluids, genitals, short people, old people, obnoxious social media influencers... you name it, they've got it (surprisingly, there are no fart jokes - did the screenwriters think that would lower their standards TOO much?).At least the first three films had the novelty of having all those iconic action stars in one movie. This one doesn't even have that. I'm not sure it's even an Expendables movie anymore - more like a Statham movie that just happens to have some random action stars in it.

With Stallone already close to turning 80 (he's 77 this year, in case you were wondering), Lundgren and Couture in their 60s, and Statham the 'young one' at 56, the chances of another one in the franchise may seem remote......

The Son is the second film in what Zeller has designed as a trilogy. It was launched in 2020 with The Father, which had Anthony Hopkins as a parent whose dementia causes him to fear and distrust those closest to him. Now, in The Son, Hugh Jackman's Peter, a successful Manhattan lawyer, is trying to rescue his teenage son from the depths of depression. The Son" its tension: a low, subconscious dread that something terrible is going to happen, as if tragedy were inevitable, but you can't quite be sure what form it will take. "The Son" isn't an easy watch, but it's an important one at a time when young people are very much in crisis.

The film touches on the pain that more and more modern families carry and hide when trying to have children, but it also touches on other paths to that dream. A film about an "alternative form of motherhood", exactly as "Film New Europe" announced it a year ago, it is the first part of a duology on this topic, which greatly excites the director. According to her, the most impressive thing about the life destiny of the real person who inspired the film is that she managed to transform her personal dream of happiness, through her work and creativity, into happiness and meaning for thousands of disadvantaged children on two continents. Art as a transformative force is central to the heroine's life, as well as one of the film's themes.

The tv series are pretty good, saw the first three seasons already. The characters are good build, the action and thriller is good for the Bulgarian production. Most of the scenes are shooting in capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. What about the movie itself? I personally like the police and the gangster's more, hahaha. The scenario is good and you need to watch most of the first season tho get in the "movie". We have family drama, war between brothers, gang wars and many more. If you are a Bulgarian i supposed the show will going to give you goosebumps,haha. Recommend tho watch with a glass of wine and good spirit. Chao.

Victor, a disillusioned comic book creator, sees his life turned upside down on the day when Antoine, offers him a new kind of attraction: mixing theatrical artifices and historical reconstruction, this company offers his clients a chance to dive back into the era of their choice. Victor then chose to relive the most memorable week of his life: the one where, 40 years earlier, he met the great love of his life. Puzzling French movie that's sometimes comedy, other times drama.

Dimo Manchev is the head of a family with conservative ideas of education and morality. Fearing of his categorical ban, his daughter Lily marries secretly for Plamen. Young people are wondering how to tell him about the event. Life follows its logic, and parents have to be reconciled. The happiest marriage is without witnesses ... The mistakes of the young are the experience of the old ones ... Youngerness is not far... A wonderful Bulgarian comedy about life and one of my favorite movies. I strongly recommend.

Another dose of humor by Kiril Gospodinov. The movie is filled with jokes and teas for the family and the Bulgarian man. The socialist system at that time in Bulgaria gives the film a wonderful picture of the life, family and values of the Bulgarian citizen. With his typical sharp temper, smile and language, Kiril Gospodinov is an excellent choice for his character. The film also has a great deal of life lessons that each of us sooner or later will witness.
