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

The French Dispatch

USA-France, 2021 Comedy/Post-modern Author Work Trailer Wes Anderson. Everybody has, at least, heard this name before.

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.

Miss Marx

UK/Italy, 2020 Biopic/Historical Drama Independent Trailer Karl Marx is probably the biggest revolutionary figure in history since Jesus of Nazareth, both related to their ideas and the legions of people that drank from them. There is barely anybody in the modern world that doesn’t know them, or at least didn’t hear their names. Furthermore, there… Continue reading Miss Marx

Wife of a Spy

Japan, 2020 Thriller/Drama Mainstream Trailer Sometimes it’s really nice to see a conventional movie. There is no need to be clever, innovative or unforgettable, re-de-invent the whool or needy to épater anybody to produce a satisfatory work.
