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
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
Hot Fuzz is the second film of the Cornetto trilogy directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

In This side of Paradise, the USS Enterprise heads to a rural colony on a planet that has recently been subjected to radiations which are lethal to humans called Berthold rays.

Surprisingly, once on the surface, all the 150 colonists … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E24, This Side Of Paradise
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
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

Das leben der anderen (The Lives of Others, 2006) is the first movie directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. What a debut! The film takes place in East Germany (Deutsche Demokratische Republik, DDR) in 1984, its protagonist is captain of the Staatssicherheitsdienst (more commonly known as Stasi), the secret police of that time, and it’s incredibly … More The Lives Of Others: Movie Review
Let’s be clear right away: I’m about to talk about the 1956 movie, not the 1934 one. The director was the same, but the first film was defined by the director himself as the product of a talented amateur, and the second the movie made by a professional. This eponymous remake of The man who … More The Man Who Knew Too Much: Movie Review
The Mule is the latest cinematographic effort of Clint Eastwood, who’s now almost 90 years old. Not only has it produced and directed the movie, but he’s also its protagonist. Clint (almost) always deserves respect, so I went to the cinema with the best intentions, even though I had read some not-so-enthusiastic reviews. And what about … More The Mule: Movie Review
