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
Stand By Me isn’t just a catchy song by Ben E. King. It is also a magnificent movie directed by Rob Reiner in 1986 inspired by a story written by Stephen King. And this is the movie I’m writing about now, so… here it is! The premise that I want to make is that I … More Stand By Me: Movie Review
Let me warn you now: there are inevitable spoilers in the following review of Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals (you might remember him from such things as A Single Man and a pair of sunglasses, since Ford was born designer, and he still is, but also enjoys writing screenplays and direct movies). So, if you don’t … More Nocturnal Animals: Movie Review
Tom Shone is a film critic who, after publishing two retrospectives on Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen respectively, has written a third one about the great Quentin Tarantino (released in the United States in late 2017). The book is a beautiful object of more than 250 pages of giant format of fine quality and it … More Tarantino: A retrospective (book review)
Thanks to the open air cinema of my city I have seen The motive (El autor), the 2017 movie directed by Manuel Martín Cuenca of whom I hadn’t seen anything before. The movie takes place in Seville, Andalucía, and one of its strengths is certainly the cast: Adelfa Calvo, Antonio De la Torre, and especially the … More The Motive: Movie Review
Little Women is a 1994 film by the Australian director Gillian Armstrong that brings to the big screen the 1868-69 novel written by Louisa May Alcott (something that had already been done five times since 1918). Lately I’ve been watching enough costume movies (of which you’ll find traces here, here, and here) and it seems to … More Little Women: Movie Review
After 25 years (“of making… and unmaking”), at last Terry Gilliam made The man who killed Don Quixote, and it’s in theaters now! The protagonists of this successful attempt are Adam Driver (that is Kylo Ren in the new Star Wars movies) and Jonathan Pryce (an old acquaintance of Gilliam who worked with him in … More The Man Who Killed Don Quixote: Movie Review
In 2014 the Oscar for best picture went to 12 Years a Slave, which I foolishly decided not to see in order to avoid a sad movie. Finally and luckily I changed my mind and I was impressed by the beauty of this film. I believe that the merit goes to the director, Steve McQueen, … More 12 Years a Slave: Movie Review
Today I’m writing about Pride and prejudice, the 2005 movie directed by Joe Wright (who made Darkest Hour in 2017) starring Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen. The story is obviously the one of Jane Austen’s book which was published in 1813, and tells us about the life of Elizabeth Swann before ending up in the Caribbean madly … More Pride And Prejudice: Movie Review
I love when Spielberg has fun making a movie and, as a result, makes an entertaining one! You know what I’m talking about: the Spielberg of the Indiana Jones trilogy (yes, it’s a trilogy, don’t you know? There are three films, with Sean Connery in the third and last one!). Yes, I’m talking about that Spielberg! Just … More Ready Player One: Movie Review
