Detroit

Kathryn Bigelow got her groove back since her sycophantic "Zero Dark Thirty." The movie is well made and instilled with documentary and mock documentary parts. "The Game of Thrones", as always, appears as a star-making factory (Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Sophie Turner and now, Hannah Murray).

Valerian



Luc Besson dedicated Valerian to his father. Unless his father would appreciate his son's ability to undress a large number of models, among them some top-bracket and at least one supermodel (Kara Delevigne) and also Rihanna, there is little in the movie, which can make his dad proud. But, as an experience of the Mad Max demonstrates, that it now takes very little besides special effects to impress modern audiences. But Valerian failed even in that. Characteristically, on imdb, there are few stills of movie itself but plenty of photos from post-film party events.
