At long last, the Klingons! Here come perhaps the most iconic aliens of the whole Star Trek Universe, though, come to think of it, this is probably true only thanks to the films with the crew led by Captain Kirk and the series The Next Generation. In any case, Errand Of Mercy expands the mythology once again … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E26, Errand Of Mercy
A Taste Of Armageddon is a very strange episode: it’s based on a funny basic idea, it carries a beautiful pacifist message, it’s beautifully realized, but it left me with some doubts. The Enterprise is headed to the planet Eminiar in the NGC321 star system for a diplomatic mission: it must establish relations with the … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E23, A Taste Of Armageddon
After writing about The Terminator, the great film by James Cameron released in 1984, how can I not write about its sequel Terminator 2: Judgment day released seven years later and directed by the same director? It’s yet another exceptional film, something that shouldn’t surprise anyone since James Cameron had already proved himself capable of making … More Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Movie Review
Everyone is talking about it and at the end I also went to see The Favourite, currently nominated for 10 Oscars. Made with a relatively modest budget ($15 million), its director is the good Yorgos Lanthimos (among other things, he directed The Lobster in 2015) and it stars three exceptional actresses: Rachel Weisz (recently seen … More The Favourite: Movie Review
It may seem impossible for a 30-years-old director to debut (I consider this a debut given that it’s not clear yet who directed Piranha II: The Spawning in 1981) with a magnificent film like The Terminator, but that’s what James Cameron did in 1984. After all, we are talking about one of the most influential directors in … More The Terminator: Movie Review
In 1995 Mel Gibson came out with Braveheart, of which he was both director and protagonist. Since his debut behind the camera had been the anonymous The Man Without a Face, released two years earlier, it was hard to know what to expect from an epic movie about the life of William Wallace, one of … More Braveheart: Movie Review
A few days after I saw The pianist by Roman Polanski I watched Schindler’s list, the 1993 movie directed by Steven Spielberg. It was interesting to see these two films one after the other for the partial story overlap, with Nazi-occupied Warsaw and the Polish Jews locked up in its ghetto. I even think that … More Schindler’s List: Movie Review
I admit it: I hadn’t seen this 2002 movie directed by Roman Polanski, a director that I greatly admire (for example, I wrote about his Death and the maiden here). I finally saw The Pianist, starring Adrien Brody, and it left me speechless. The movie tells the true story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jewish … More The Pianist: Movie Review
