This movie is about the Estonian War of Independence (1918-1920), specifically the students fighting on the nationalist side, but also shown the conflict between two ideologies (Estonian nationalism and communism). It does what it says on the box. A solid movie about a troop of high-school students who fight the Red...

a half-assed review -- Need for Speed: Underground (2002)"> Rrrrum-dum-dum du-ru-ru-rum-dum-dum The song that put Lil’ Jon & the Eastside Boyz on the map is the unmistakable hint that you’ve opened Need for Speed: Underground, which was the 7th instalment in the series and also made the “Need for Speed Seven” phrase...

When a small-town police station is threatened with shutting down because of too little crime, the police realize that something must be done. Absolute funny comedy, feels like a Swedis Super Troopers. It’s raunchy at places, predictable, but it’s very very funny, and the references (like the last scene) show that...

a half-assed review -- Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (2002)"> Moving on to the next NFS game, but also to the next computer, I will be using for the following games my 15.4" Sony Vaio that I used in the OCC 2024 I mentioned before, as this is practically my go-to retro computing laptop. It’s got a pretty fast CPU at...

When Eric Cartman and his friends go see an R-rated movie, they start cursing and their parents think that Canada is to blame. I think I’ve seen this movie billions of times on all formats and I think I still know it by heart. It’s probably South Park at its peak, I kinda wish they’d make a new feature movie. Love...

Returning from LV-426, Ellen Ripley crash-lands on the maximum-security prison Fiorina 161, where she discovers that she has unwittingly brought along an unwelcome visitor. Another movie, another director, another interpretation of the universe. Packed with action, while also being slowly paced at times, it finds a...

Decades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring. Excellent sequel to the first masterpiece, expanding a lot on the Alien lore, and packaging it all on an action sci-fi movie, which...

After investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin, the crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform. Yeah, it’s that moment that I go through every 5 years or so when I revisit the entire Alien franchise. And what better point to start it than a movie that defined a genre and created a...

a half-assed review -- Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed (2000)"> … yeah. So, this happened. When we were starting to git gud at NFS4, the follow up dropped. AND IT’S FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH PORSCHES! And I don’t mean a third, or half. ALL of them are Porsches. And while I remember that some people were annoyed by...
