The New Mutants (2020) 

English This is a fairly well-made mutant spin-off, though its delayed release promised nothing better than average despite trying for a while to be more of a psychological horror movie; either the studio talked Boone out of it or I’m just too much of a hardened viewer. The climax is an orgy of tricks reminiscent of a bout of fantasy fisticuffs on acid. I was distracted the whole time, wondering if the lesbian relationship storyline could still be categorized as LGBT or if it was in fact bordering on zoophilia. Roughly comparable to the last X-Men farewell film, Dark Phoenix.

Batman: The Killing Joke (2016) 

English Specially adapted for kids, but some extremely rough moments mean that in the end there was no point (I won’t let my daughter watch it before her 18th birthday). The Killing Joke is a story about how Batman breaks his only rule, not that he laughs at the joke. The animated Batman: The Dark Knight Returns shows that this can be done better. Much, much better.

The Mandalorian - Chapter 11: The Heiress (2020) (episode) 

English Soup vs. baby Yoda, cephalopod vs baby Yoda. It seems that Yoda has been rightly punished for his love of gobbling eggs, which caused some controversy. The story moves forward significantly and it was a delight to hear references to the Jedi and Darksaber.

Stargate Origins (2018) (series) Boo!

English Crappy and amateur; watching this just makes me angry about them canceling Universe. But the idea with the Nazis isn’t at all bad. This stumbled over the miserable acting, bad screenplay and cheap production.

I Am Mother (2019) 

English I liked the idea with the destruction of mankind. The mother seemed especially empathetic and had exemplary skills as a caregiver. The middle of the film drags a little, Swank is terribly unpleasant and her daughter often behaves illogically, but it picks up again in the last half-hour. The effects look pretty good too. Textbook Asimov served up in a rather weak form.

Next Gen (2018) 

English A weaker Big Hero 6 with a very nice line about the importance of memory. The visuals are great and the only major flaw is the logical lapses in the behaviour of some of the characters.

BlacKkKlansman (2018) 

English A racist African-American picture based on an incredible true story. Although Spike Lee slightly bungled the dramaturgy and reveals details that are unnecessary for the plot, it’s bearable. The acting performances are excellent, especially Driver as the cop who risks his neck and the great young Washington, who knows how to come across as polite and pissed off all at once.

Tales from the Loop (2020) (series) 

English An artsy retro sci-fi with fantastic visuals and captivating music. Each episode is good in a different way, even though they all set out on a similar mystery tour. The loose ends are the most annoying thing here. And the imbalance of the storylines of this otherwise well-made project trip it up a little.

Banshee - Small Town. Big Secrets. - Season 1 (2013) (season) 

English A sort of Renegade for the new millennium. The B-grade plot is improved by excellent physical action and interestingly dealt cards. Some things seem rather farfetched, but thanks to the excellent acting, it’s bearable. Starr is amazing.

Who Is America? (2018) (series) 

English A brutal satire that suffers slightly from being too long. Cohen thought up several fictional characters for the individual problems that he wanted to focus on and the more successful ones logically appear more than once, which is a bit of a shame. Of course, some scenes are absolute genius (the mosque!). My girlfriend kept asking me incredulously if it wasn’t all staged, if these people are really such idiots. I think it was Dick Cheney signing his autograph on the waterboarding kit that finally convinced her.
