Steamboat Bill, Jr. is a 1928 film directed by Charles Reisner and starring Buster Keaton. Having been made almost a hundred years ago, it’s of course a silent, black and white film, but despite what you may think if you haven’t seen it, it has aged incredibly well and it’s still a brilliant 71 minutes-long comedy! … More Steamboat Bill, Jr.: Movie Review
I know that I wrote that I consider Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) to be John Carpenter’s debut film. But how could I not review his true first feature, that is the precious Dark Star directed in 1974 when he was still a film school student? I had to do it, and here I am doing … More Dark Star: 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
The Mule is the latest cinematographic effort of Clint Eastwood, who’s now almost 90 years old. Not only has it produced and directed the movie, but he’s also its protagonist. Clint (almost) always deserves respect, so I went to the cinema with the best intentions, even though I had read some not-so-enthusiastic reviews. And what about … More The Mule: Movie Review
Desierto is the second movie directed by Alfonso Cuarón’s son, Jonas Cuarón. Released in 2015, it has a remarkable cast with Gael García as the protagonist (for example, he’s in Amores perros by Iñárritu) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the antagonist (he’s the Comedian in Watchmen by Zack Snyder, but also Negan in The Walking Dead). … More Desierto: Movie Review
Costume movies and historic dramas are always popular and this year is no exception. For example, today I could go to my favorite cinema in town and choose among Josie Rourke’s Mary Queen of Scots, Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite, and Marc Dugain’s L’échange des princesses. Instead, I decided to watch a 2000 film on DVD: … More Vatel: Movie Review
After writing about The Terminator, the great film by James Cameron released in 1984, how can I not write about its sequel Terminator 2: Judgment day released seven years later and directed by the same director? It’s yet another exceptional film, something that shouldn’t surprise anyone since James Cameron had already proved himself capable of making … More Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Movie Review
Border is a Swedish movie directed by Ali Abbasi and starring Eva Melander and Eero Milonoff. It’s now gaining some popularity possibly thanks to its Oscar nomination for the best makeup. I saw it at the cinema a few days ago and it has impacted me a lot, I enjoyed it, but I have no … More Border: Movie Review
And for the 250th time I have watched Halloween, the 1978 film directed by John Carpenter and starring Jamie Lee Curtis (she was 19 year old at that time!!!). This should already say something about what I think of the movie: it’s an incredible unrivaled masterpiece that should be watched and re-watched all the time. I … More John Carpenter’s Halloween: Movie Review
Let me admit it straight away: I saw Clint Eastwood’s Million dollar baby 15 years after it came out (2004). At the end of the vision I felt as if Hillary Swank had hit me with one of her stomach punches: this film impressed me, moved me, and even made me feel a little angry. I’ll … More Million Dollar Baby: Movie Review
