Movie reviews. All about the best films of many directors, as well as my vision and criticism of the actors' performances.
A Netflix movie about Valentina (Aitana) being very cool. And her neighbor, an agoraphobic slob with the pretense of an inventor, stalks her in search of luck, after a disconcerting encounter that places them at the antipodes of eroticism. Because like Alaska, Aitana can also fall in love with…
That movie... 12 Monkeys... with Bruce Willis visiting what was left of the world after the catastrophe. The strange integration of wildness and civilization as coexisting worlds in parallel universes. In 12 monkeys the animals appeared roaming freely through the desolate cities, converted into paradise for...
An hour and a half of film that starts like that mythical day of fury of Michael Douglas or perhaps even evoking Brad Pitt and Edward Norton's Fight Club. The issue is that gradual anger, in a fine crescendo that captivates us with the latent claim that…
At times I find it cloying. And yet Ben Aflleck is a career that makes him a reference actor for films that rarely can aspire to the Oscar but that achieve good box offices. One of the clearest exponents of the most commercial cinema. Someone to turn to…
It's been a long time since that amazing film (even more surprising for narrow and reactionary minds) from Brokeback Mountain. We'll talk about her later. The point is that beyond having grown up in the world of cinema, thanks to his director father and screenwriter mother, roles like Brokeback...
Little by little, friend Quim is transformed into the Iberian Adam Sandler. Which is both good and bad, depending on how you see it. Because that ensures many roles, work in comic films or series. The bad part is the difficult unlabeling of the comic actor…
Spanish cinema has a perfect wardrobe in Eduardo Noriega. Eduardo is a guy who can do everything and for everything. A chameleon capable of dazzling and ultimately leading us to the dark side of whatever plot is presented to us. Because some of his best…
Unless one day it becomes known that Paul Mescal is related to some renowned director, producer or whatever (I was already disappointed with Nicolas Cage thinking that he was there for nothing more than his performances), we find ourselves before the prototypical actor of school that ends up playing…
It's worth it that the thing about actors arriving after fame gained in other settings always arouses suspicion. “Justino LagodeMadera” was not going to be different. But after a few movies one can judge more judiciously. Because after that first performance in which critics and fans...
As Clint himself would say in the movie "The Rookie", opinions are like asses; So everyone has one. And taking advantage of the fact that I also have a free ass to comment on, I am here with the 3 best Eastwood films. Of course, considering the performance...
Without being one of the most prolific directors on the world stage, or precisely thanks to that, everything that my namesake Bayona presents ends up climbing to the top of the billboards around the world, as a regular friend and inventor of words would say, "ipsofactically." At times heir...
The problem with a film like "Pretty Woman" is that it achieves more than pigeonholing and ends up marking as a stigma. And then it's hard to get on with other Julia Roberts movies without evoking the prostitute who takes on a new life thanks to Richard Gere. It has a lot to do with…
