I finally managed to watch Collateral, Michael Mann’s 2004 film (here’s why it took me a while)! Michael Mann knows how to shoot action movies and he’s also one of the few experienced directors who really embraced the digital technology. In fact, Collateral is his first attempt to give life to a new style instead … More Collateral: Movie Review
Desierto is the second movie directed by Alfonso Cuarón’s son, Jonas Cuarón. Released in 2015, it has a remarkable cast with Gael García as the protagonist (for example, he’s in Amores perros by Iñárritu) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the antagonist (he’s the Comedian in Watchmen by Zack Snyder, but also Negan in The Walking Dead). … More Desierto: Movie Review
A Quiet Place is a relatively low budget film (20 million dollars) which came out in 2018. Directed by John Krasinski, it starred Emily Blunt as the protagonist together with Krasinski himself, who’s also her husband in real life. I’m probably the last person on Earth who saw this movie, as it was a worldwide … More A Quiet Place: Movie Review
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
The Fog is the third movie directed by John Carpenter and was released two years after his greatest success: Halloween (1978). Although it pertains to the same genre of the latter (horror / thriller), the American director couldn’t have made a more different film. In other words: any other young director would have limited himself to … More The Fog: Movie Review
I finally saw what’s almost unanimously considered an excellent Spanish horror movie: [Rec], the 2007 film directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza (I recently saw Verónica directed by the latter and I must admit that it didn’t impress me) with Manuela Velasco. Long story short, I liked [Rec]! Here’s my two cents on it. … More [Rec]: Movie Review
The orphanage is the directorial debut of Juan Antonio Bayona. Released in 2007, the protagonist is the impressive Belén Rueda (three years before she did well in The sea inside by Alejandro Amenábar) and all the supporting actors also do a good job (Fernando Cayo and Geraldine Chaplin above all). I recently watched the movie … More The Orphanage: Movie Review
El orfanato es la primera peli como director de Juan Antonio Bayona. Es del 2007, la protagonista es la impresionante Belén Rueda (la abogada en Mar adentro de Alejandro Amenábar), y hay buenos actores de reparto también (Fernando Cayo y Geraldine Chaplin sobre todo). He visto la peli y ¡me ha flipado! Entra directamente en la lista de los grandes … More El orfanato: reseña de la peli
I’m writing about this movie some time after its release in theaters (I saw it in a cinema when I was on holidays in Valencia last year, to tell you the truth) just because I’ve just re-watched it on DVD: Get out is a 2017 film directed by Jordan Peele, his first as a director, starring Daniel … More Get Out: Movie Review
For some reason in Hollywood 2010 was the year of psychiatric hospitals. In a few months we got M. Scorsese’s Shutter Island, John Carpenter’s The ward, and Sucker punch by Z. Snyder. All have the same basic theme and share a similar narrative structure. The best of the trio? For me it’s without a doubt The ward, but … More Shutter Island: Movie Review
