Drew Goddard’s debut, the 2011 movie The Cabin in the Woods, is metacinema at its finest: like the most inspired Wes Craven, who never missed the opportunity to talk about either himself or cinema at large, this film by Drew Goddard deals with horror slasher movies which normally have teenagers as their target audience. And … More The Cabin in the Woods: Movie Review
Permanent Vacation (1980) is to the filmography of Jim Jarmusch what Dark Star (1974) is to that of John Carpenter: it’s the director’s final film school project. Ok, I admit it, I’m always mentioning John Carpenter! Then let me compare Permanent Vacation to Eraserhead (1977) by David Lynch and to Following (1998) by Christopher Nolan. In other … More Permanent Vacation: Movie Review

Crazy Heart is a 2009 film directed by Scott Cooper (it’s his directorial debut) who recently came out with the well-received Hostiles (2017).

The good Edgar Wright has recently stated (on Twitter) that a debut film should not exceed one hour and a half, consistently with his A fistful of fingers (1995) lasting one hour and 18 minutes.

Primal fear is a 1996 movie marking a double debut, both for the director Gregory Hoblit and for the great actor Edward Norton. Also, it’s one of the few films in which Richard Gere, the protagonist, seems a good actor! I recently bought it on DVD, I watched it, and I surely recommend it! Let me … More Primal Fear: Movie Review
The orphanage is the directorial debut of Juan Antonio Bayona. Released in 2007, the protagonist is the impressive Belén Rueda (three years before she did well in The sea inside by Alejandro Amenábar) and all the supporting actors also do a good job (Fernando Cayo and Geraldine Chaplin above all). I recently watched the movie … More The Orphanage: Movie Review

He visto la peli y ¡me ha flipado! Entra directamente en la lista de los grandes … More El orfanato: reseña de la peli
