K19 the widowmaker is a 2002 film directed by the legendary Kathryn Bigelow (director of, among other things, Strange days, Near dark – and Oscar winner for The hurtlocker) starring Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson. Set almost entirely in the narrow spaces of a submarine and with no actresses on the screen for more than … More K19: The Widowmaker: Movie Review
Let’s be clear right away: I’m about to talk about the 1956 movie, not the 1934 one. The director was the same, but the first film was defined by the director himself as the product of a talented amateur, and the second the movie made by a professional. This eponymous remake of The man who … More The Man Who Knew Too Much: Movie Review
I loved Get out (2017) and I went to the cinema to see Us with very high expectations. It turned out to be a mistake. It’s not that it’s a bad movie, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s not even particularly good as it’s a bit confusing and derivative. What a shame! … More Us: Movie Review
I had been waiting for it for a long time and it didn’t disappoint me: Baby Driver, directed by Edgar Wright, is really a great movie, certainly the best movie I saw in 2017 (up there with Jordan Peele’s Get Out). It’s a movie not to be missed! End of my review. But I’m sure … More Baby Driver: Movie Review
A few days after I saw The pianist by Roman Polanski I watched Schindler’s list, the 1993 movie directed by Steven Spielberg. It was interesting to see these two films one after the other for the partial story overlap, with Nazi-occupied Warsaw and the Polish Jews locked up in its ghetto. I even think that … More Schindler’s List: Movie Review
Little Miss Sunshine is the first feature film directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, directors who previously made many respectable music videos working with groups such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Korn. The movie was released in 2006 (but it took 5 years to make), it was very successful, and … More Little Miss Sunshine: Movie Review
And by now I’ve already seen four movies by Pedro Almodóvar, after this one, this one and this one. And maybe the time has come to stop, I thought while watching Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown… Let me explain. This 1988 movie was the first great critical and box office success of … More Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown: Movie Review
Eleven years after its release in theaters I finally saw a quite popular movie: Juno, the 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman (son of the famous Ivan Reitman who directed, among other things, Ghostbusters in 1984). I believe that Juno is absolutely worth watching. Let me explain you why! First of all, Ellen Page, the protagonist, is … More Juno: Movie Review
La piel que habito (The Skin I Live in) is a 2011 movie directed by Pedro Almodóvar (I reviewed a couple of his movies here and here) starring Antonio Banderas and Elena Anaya. It really disappointed me: after an intriguing first part, I think that Pedro Almodóvar showed his limitations in handling a difficult subject … More The Skin I Live In: Movie Review
Let me specify: I’m going to talk about the 1974 Murder on the Orient Express directed by Sidney Lumet (the same director of 12 angry men, 1957, and Dog Day afternoon, 1975, just to name a couple of his movies) starring Albert Finney as Poirot and an endless list of stars (most of them of a … More Murder On The Orient Express: Movie Review
