USA, 1935 Comedy/Musical Mainstream Trailer As far as I can remember, comedies were my first contacts with talkies, or immediately-post-silent-era classic movies. It’s an easy genre with eternal qualities, and experience tells me people are always more prone to appreciate a good laugh than any other thing when touching a filmic era that is different… Continue reading A Night at the Opera

The Matrix: Resurrections
USA, 2021 Mainstream/Author Work Action/Mindfuck Trailer The sudden resurrection of the Matrix franchise, after all these years without anything that could hint its happening, has provoked a bunch of different reactions from the audience. Aside of two trailers and some teasers, there has been practically no big marketing campaign to promote this Christmas’ blockbuster. This… Continue reading The Matrix: Resurrections
The Power of the Dog
New Zealand, 2021 Western/Drama Mainstream Trailer This one was my favourite from the movies I watched this November, and I stumbled into it by chance. Last Wednesday I was overcharged by work, and I had been carrying a big amount of stress since the week before. I reached a moment where I was about to… Continue reading The Power of the Dog
The Good Boss
Spain, 2021 Tragicomedy Mainstream/Author Work Trailer I watched tonight the Spanish candidate for the Best Foreign Picture Award 2022’s Oscars venue. The director here is Fernando León de Aranoa, who is better known for his works dealing with social issues, especially work and class-related ones. This movie, of course, continues with his particular style, but… Continue reading The Good Boss
Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy
Japan, 2021 Light Drama Low-key Mainstream Trailer Some weeks back I read an article by one of my trusted sources describing Ryuusuke Hamaguchi as one of the enfants terribles of contemporary Japanese cinema, and labeling his career as short but quintessential. Due to life’s coincidences, it happened that his newest movie was screened here this… Continue reading Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy
The Fearless Vampire Killers
USA, 1967 Comedy/Horror Low-key Mainstream Trailer When I was younger, my parents used to remember this movie very fondly, so its name kind of always stayed in my backbone. Thanks to the new classic cinema-oriented channel of my digital TV service, I was finally able to take a bite on it. So it ended being… Continue reading The Fearless Vampire Killers
One Second
China, 2020 Author Work Drama Trailer I have been writing texts like this here ever since a year and a half. I consider myself a cinema enjoyer ever since 2012, regardless of the mild curiosity about it I may had had at my child/teen years. To me, and all of you know it, my dear… Continue reading One Second
The French Dispatch
USA-France, 2021 Comedy/Post-modern Author Work Trailer Wes Anderson. Everybody has, at least, heard this name before. Eventhough some may not have watched any of his works, it’s undoubtely clear that everybody with a bit of cultural interest has a fixed image of his usual style. Not being this enough reason to be interested to watch… Continue reading The French Dispatch
Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish
Japan, 2020 Slice of Life/Melodrama Mainstream Trailer I remember having seen the promotional poster for Josee some months ago, perhaps last spring. I believe I even commented it with my usual group of animation-loving friends. Ever since that first contact with the teaser I have wanted to watch this movie; because judging by the poster,… Continue reading Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
USA, 2021 Action/Fantasy Mainstream Trailer When I saw the promotional posters for this Shang-Chi, it immediately piqued my curiosity. I am not a MCU fan except for very concrete works, mainly because the superhero theme isn’t quite my favourite fruit, but I was very willing to go check this one out. First of all, because… Continue reading Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
