And after having seen Spock in love (This Side Of Paradise), here’s Spock making a mind meld with a rock! Although this premise doesn’t look exciting at all, The Devil In The Dark is in fact another beautiful episode, something which has ceased to surprise me by now. The USS Enterprise heads to a planet rich … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E25, The Devil In The Dark
Episode number 21, The Return Of The Archons. It explores a theme that was already discussed in The Galileo Seven (the roles of logic and of emotions) and there’s a problem already noted in Miri, namely that of shooting every scene in a pre-existing set, in this case reminding the early twentieth century with semi-medieval … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E21, The Return Of The Archons
Court Martial is the twentieth episode of the first season of the original series of Star Trek. Even if it’s not as innovative as other episodes we’ve seen so far like Balance Of Terror and Tomorrow Is Yesterday, it’s yet another extremely solid episode from beginning to end and it’s one of the countless courtroom … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E20, Court Martial
The archbishop of Lyon, France, is called Philippe Barbarin. Under his responsibility, and under the responsibility of many before him, father Bernard Preynat was able to abuse dozens and dozens of children who passed under his hands as scouts and altar boys. In March 2019, Barbarin resigned but the Pope Francisco refused his resignation invoking … More By The Grace Of God: Movie Review
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
The sixteenth episode of this first season of Star Trek (aired for the first time on January 5th 1967, I did my homework) offers us a “first time”: it’s the first time that one of the shuttles is lost, a recurrent plot device in later series such as, for example, Voyager. The shuttle in question … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E16, The Galileo Seven
Gone girl is a 2014 film directed by David Fincher, who also directed Se7en (1995) and Fight club (1999), just to name just a couple of his movies. The protagonists are Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike and the film is a thriller with a fairly complex plot that I will explore below. This is one of … More Gone Girl: Movie Review
Pain and glory (original title: Dolor y gloria) is the latest film by the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. Released in 2019, it stars Antonio Banderas as the protagonist accompanied by a series of great-caliber actors and actresses (and mostly old acquaintances of Almodóvar) such as Penélope Cruz, Cecilia Roth, Leonardo Sbaraglia… In my opinion, either … More Pain And Glory: Movie Review
I finally made it! I watched a movie that is considered, and rightly so, a real cult classic: Dan O’Bannon’s The Return of the Living Dead, 1984. The name of the director is linked to two fantastic movies that I adore: Alien (1979), of which he wrote a screenplay used in almost its entirety by … More The Return of the Living Dead: Movie Review
I loved Get out (2017) and I went to the cinema to see Us with very high expectations. It turned out to be a mistake. It’s not that it’s a bad movie, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s not even particularly good as it’s a bit confusing and derivative. What a shame! … More Us: Movie Review
