It cannot be said that with his fourth film, Mystery Train (1989), Jim Jarmusch strayed too far from his style. Perhaps, since his previous film was the brilliant comedy Down By Law (1986), it would’ve been fair to expect something more than what appears to be a simple evolution of the director’s first two works, Permanent … More Mystery Train: Movie Review
Down By Law is a 1986 movie written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. The protagonists are two musicians, Tom Waits and John Lurie, together with an amazing Roberto Benigni probably at the peak of his career as a comedian. This is for me the first great movie by Jarmusch, the first funny comedy that works … More Down By Law: 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
It took Quentin Tarantino 27 years from 1992 Reservoir Dogs to direct his ninth film, the penultimate of his career according to what he has stated over and over again. Once Upon a Time In Hollywood’s exceptional cast includes Leonardo Di Caprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, Michael Madsen, Kurt Russell and many more. Apparently this movie has … More Once Upon a Time In Hollywood: Movie Review
Young Frankenstein is a film directed by Mel Brooks and released in 1974 with Gene Wilder as the protagonist. I think that it’s one of the best comedies ever made and, probably, also the best film by the American director. This is a perfect parody of a classic Frankenstein movie which, if you think about it, is also one … More Young Frankenstein: Movie Review
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
Cesc Gay debe ser una persona interesante, o por lo menos debe ser un gran conocedor de la humanidad, al menos viendo cómo escribe los personajes y los diálogos de sus películas. ¡Y quizás no tenga mucha fe en esa misma humanidad que sabe reproducir tan bien en la gran pantalla! Digo esto después de … More En la ciudad: reseña de la peli
1995 was a particularly prolific year for Quentin Tarantino. Among other things, it was the year in which the weird From Dusk Till Dawn came out, based on a script that he wrote for 1,500 dollars kinda as an excuse for Robert Kurtzman’s special effects rather than to write a cinematic masterpiece (in fact, it’s deliberately a … More From Dusk Till Dawn: 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
The filmography of director John McTiernan could be defined with the expression “few but good”. Not because he carefully chose his projects and made them with an obsessive attention to details like Stanley Kubrick did. But simply because as long as he worked, he worked well. Then they put him in jail and he stayed there … More Predator: Movie Review
