Broken Flowers is a 2005 film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. I’ve already written a lot about his work which is so significant for American independent cinema (I reviewed all his films prior to this, and also The Dead Don’t Die, 2019), so it should be clear that I very much appreciate him as … More Broken Flowers: Movie Review
I adore Tim Burton as a director and I have seen almost all of his films since his debut Beetlejuice (1988). Now I finally managed to watch one of his few films I hadn’t seen yet, Planet of the Apes (2001), with Mark Whalberg, Tim Roth and Helena Bonham Carter. It was a bit of … More Planet of the Apes: Movie Review
I’ve always enjoyed the work of British director Danny Boyle. Despite being somewhat discontinuous, he has directed some truly remarkable films such as Trainspotting which made him famous in 1996, and has already won an Oscar with Slumdog Millionaire (2008), which in total received eight Academy awards. But in my opinion his best movies include Trainspotting, … More 28 Days Later: 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
And here we are with the fourth episode of TOS, and what an episode! We find both interesting narrative expedients and a lot of absurd things that nowadays are (unfortunately) material for ridiculous memes… In The Baked Time, the USS Enterprise arrives, surprise surprise, at an uninhabited planet which is also at the point of collapse … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E04, The Naked Time
The third episode of the first season, Where No Man Has Gone Before, is a strange third episode, since it was actually conceived as the first episode of the series. And of course it was! It’s easy to tell due to the many scenes made to present members of the crew like Scotty and Sulu. … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E03, Where No Man Has Gone Before
Widows is the latest film directed by Steve McQueen, the same director of Hunger (2008), Shame (2011), and 12 years a slave (2013). I went to the cinema with great expectations, also because of the cast which includes, among others, Cynthia Erivo (immensely good in Bad times at El Royale), Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Farrell, Daniel … More Widows: Movie Review
Wes Craven has been one of the most important horror directors of the last 50 years. In the Seventies he had a fairly good success with his debut feature The Last House On The Left (1972), shot almost at no cost, and especially with The Hills Have Eyes (1977): both these movies are considered classics of … More Scream: Movies’ Reviews
The village is a 2004 film directed by the beloved/hated M. Night Shyamalan. He’s a very controversial director: after the unanimously well-received The Sixth Sense (1998), he was celebrated as the next Spielberg. Then his films featuring surprise endings began to wear out, and perhaps The village is considered the beginning of his artistic decline. … More The Village: Movie Review
Thanks to the open air cinema of my city I have seen The motive (El autor), the 2017 movie directed by Manuel Martín Cuenca of whom I hadn’t seen anything before. The movie takes place in Seville, Andalucía, and one of its strengths is certainly the cast: Adelfa Calvo, Antonio De la Torre, and especially the … More The Motive: Movie Review
