The Changeling is a strange episode. On the one hand, it anticipates what many years later would be the plot of the first film in the Star Trek saga, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), directed by Robert Wise. On the other hand, it recycles a couple of ideas already used in the first season: … More Star Trek: TOS – S02E03, The Changeling
Let’s start with the second season! After a splendid first season full of fantastic stories, with this first episode written by Theodore Sturgeon (also author of an episode of the first season, Shore Leave), it’s like Gene Roddenberry declared to have no intention of decelerating. Star Trek was to continue to offer first-rate science fiction without trying to … More Star Trek: TOS – S02E01, Amok Time
Hot Fuzz is the second film of the Cornetto trilogy directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Released in 2007, three years after the first film, Shaun of the Dead, and six years before the third and final film, The World’s End, it was a box office hit with $80 million … More Hot Fuzz: Movie Review
Space seed is a thrilling episode. I got excited as soon as the name Botany Bay was revealed, of course, because I immediately made the connection with Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (1982)! The fantastic film directed by Nicholas Meyer is the direct sequel to this excellent episode of the first season of … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E22, Space Seed
Episode number 21, The Return Of The Archons. It explores a theme that was already discussed in The Galileo Seven (the roles of logic and of emotions) and there’s a problem already noted in Miri, namely that of shooting every scene in a pre-existing set, in this case reminding the early twentieth century with semi-medieval … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E21, The Return Of The Archons
Finally, here I am writing about Young Sherlock Holmes (it’s also known with the alternative title Pyramid of Fear), the 1985 film written by Chris Columbus and directed by Barry Levinson. Why finally? Because this is undoubtedly one of the movies I love the most, and not only because the protagonist is a young version … More Young Sherlock Holmes / Pyramid Of Fear: Movie Review
Court Martial is the twentieth episode of the first season of the original series of Star Trek. Even if it’s not as innovative as other episodes we’ve seen so far like Balance Of Terror and Tomorrow Is Yesterday, it’s yet another extremely solid episode from beginning to end and it’s one of the countless courtroom … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E20, Court Martial
The hype-train is going full speed to the new Chapter of It since most people enjoyed so much Chapter One! This is certainly another sign of how I don’t know much about cinema, as I’m surely mistaken… Why, you’re wondering, what do I think of It: Chapter One by Andy Muschietti? Let’s start with some positive … More It – Chapter One: Movie Review
Stand By Me isn’t just a catchy song by Ben E. King. It is also a magnificent movie directed by Rob Reiner in 1986 inspired by a story written by Stephen King. And this is the movie I’m writing about now, so… here it is! The premise that I want to make is that I … More Stand By Me: Movie Review
In February 2019, The Silence Of Others (El silencio de otros) won the Goya award for best documentary of the year. It’s directed by Robert Bahar and Almudena Carracedo and produced by Pedro Almodóvar with his production company Deseo. So, let me add that, also thinking about Damián Szifron’s wonderful Relatos salvajes (2014), it’s clear … More The Silence Of Others: Movie Review
