La Bonne Épouse (the international title is How to Be a Good Wife) is a 2020 French film written and directed by Martin Provost. It was the last film I saw in theaters before they had to close (again) due to the third wave of Covid-19 in Spain, but other than that I don’t think … More How to Be a Good Wife: Movie Review
I believe that a director must be a genius to come up with a great film based simply on a series of illustrated cards for children made in the Sixties. And since I consider Mars attacks! a great movie, I’m sure you have it clear that for me Tim Burton is a genius. Of course … More Mars Attacks!: Movie Review
It had to happen, I know. I knew that if in every Star Trek series I’ve watched there are a number of “lighthearted” episodes, obviously everything the tradition started with The Original Series. And here we are with the first non-serious episode (in Mudd’s women at least there was a theme, even though it was … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E15, Shore Leave

Indeed, at first sight it’s not a classic golden age Burtonian film (Beetlejuice, 1988, Batman, 1989, and Edward scissorhands, 1990), nor it’s one of his movies pertaining to the decadence period (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2005, Sweeney Todd, … More Big Eyes: Movie Review
I’ll tell you right away: I really enjoyed Miri, the eighth episode of the first season of TOS. It has glimpses of The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price (released in 1964, two years before Star Trek began), of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (that would be released two years after Miri came … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E08, Miri (English)
First of all, let me introduce the trekkie side of my personality at the start of this journey to explore The Original Series (TOS). If someone asked me, I would answer without hesitation that I am totally a trekkie, even if I havn’t seen nor read everything that this brand has produced.
