Night on Earth is the fifth feature film directed by Jim Jarmusch, and it was released in 1991. In it, there are five episodes unrelated to each other and set in various parts of the World: Los Angeles, New York, Rome, Paris and Helsinki. Back in 1991, Jarmusch already was a fairly established name in … More Night on Earth: Movie Review
Who Mourns for Adonais? is, in my opinion, a big misstep in this second season which just started. After a brilliant start with Amok Time, this second episode merely reused old ideas even though the premise could have led to an interesting story. That’s a pity, and below I will try to explain the reasons … More Star Trek: TOS – S02E02, Who Mourns for Adonais?
The goonies (goonies having the double meaning of losers and also inhabitants of the Goon docks of the city of Astoria, Oregon) is a real cult movie. Don’t believe me? Just go to the part of Twitter talking about cinema and you’ll find a lot of love for this 1985 movie directed by Richard Donner! … More The Goonies: Movie Review
And here we are with the first reference to Shakespeare within Star Trek, which is so important in basically all the incarnations of the brand. For example, think about that masterpiece of Star Trek VI: The undiscovered country and about the various occasions in The next generation in which we say Shakespearean interpretations by Data, … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E13, The Conscience Of The King
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). Crazy heart is especially enjoyable for the fantastic (to say the least) soundtrack and for a masterful interpretation of Jeff Bridges playing an alcoholic country singer at the end of his career, Bad … More Crazy Heart: Movie Review
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. And of course Alejandro G. Iñárritu (the same director who made Birdman and The revenant) spectacularly went against this innocent advice by … More Amores Perros: Movie Review
After I don’t know how many years I re-watched E.T. the extra-terrestrial, the legendary Steven Spielberg movie which came out in 1982 (the same year in which a much more evil extra-terrestrial came out, that is John Carpenter’s The Thing!). Do you remember the plot of E.T.? A U.F.O. is on Earth to do some research, … More E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: Movie Review
Nineties’ Luc Besson (he’s not even a distant relative of post-2000’s Luc Besson) made three movies that are worth seeing: Nikita (1990), Léon (1994) and The fifth element (1997). Today I’m writing about the second, which features Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, and Natalie Portman. The plot is the following: a hit man of the Italian … More Léon: The Professional: Movie Review
Disobedience is a 2017 film directed by Sebastián Lelio starring Rachel Weisz (among other things, she was great in the 2005 The constant gardener) and Rachel McAdams (she plays Irene Adler in the Sherlock Holmes movies by Guy Ritchie). I saw it at the cinema a few days ago and I admit that it didn’t impress me. The … More Disobedience: Movie Review
Here I am with another costume movie. After this one, this one, and this other one, yesterday I watched Dangerous liaisons, the 1988 film directed by Stephen Frears (I only knew one other, and very different, movie directed by him, High fidelity!) starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, Uma Thurman, Keanu Reeves… in short, an … More Dangerous Liaisons: Movie Review
