There was a time when Hollywood worked under the so-called star system. On broad terms, the industry would elevate some actors and actresses to Olympian levels, creating a Midas-like aura around them and everything they touched. This would fuel the dream-like, subtle qualities around their objects, assuring that their only presence in a movie would… Continue reading The Fall Guy

You Can’t Take It With You
In general terms, since last year I barely have forces to concentrate myself in watching a movie for 2 hours without getting sleepy. Who would had thought about it! Since I certainly missed the feeling I always had after watching a good film, I kind of forced myself to return and asked my father about… Continue reading You Can’t Take It With You
Barbenheimer
I have wanted to write this text for an extended amount of time. Ever since I first saw the teasers that showed the conception of the two movies that concern us this time I have been possessed by some kind of infantile enchantment. It had some air of mythical. Headlines like “First shots of Greta… Continue reading Barbenheimer
Everything Everywhere All At Once
USA, 2022 Mindfuck Mainstream Trailer Roughly 3000 years ago, century up, century down, a very wise civilization living in the Gangeatic basin coined one word in an attempt to describe and understand a phenomenon they interpreted as a determinist, divine law of the universe: Everything is connected in space and time. A deed anywhere, anytime,… Continue reading Everything Everywhere All At Once
A Night at the Opera
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 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
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. 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
Gaza Mon Amour
Palestine, 2021 Comedy Author Work Trailer (sort of) The epithet that this movie adds to a toponym with otherwise tragic connotations such as Gaza already reveals a big chunk of the spirit of this movie. Naturally, it follows the trail of other renowed movies that establish the budding of an endearment between two individuals in… Continue reading Gaza Mon Amour
Futurama
USA, 1999-2013 Comedy/Sci-Fi/Mindfuck Mainstream Trailer Normally, when people remember witnessing something when they were young, it usually becomes magnified in their minds. Thus, other people that didn’t effectively “grow” with that element in their lifes are usually indifferent towards it. Perhaps it’s my case too, but I think this show deserves a post because I… Continue reading Futurama
