Movie reviews. All about the best films of many directors, as well as my vision and criticism of the actors' performances.
The Oscar for best male performance in 2023 went to an actor like Brendan Fraser who demonstrates that of the two masks, of comedy and tragedy as the same thing. Something that a certain Jim Carrey also knows about, whose comic overacting ends up bordering on that one...
With her disconcerting gesticulation that is both pure ice and scorching fire, this American actress makes the chameleon the essence. To the point that one forgets about the actress to fully enjoy her role. And that happens to a greater extent than any other interpreter of...
Beyond lycanthropic transformations, Jackman collects an extraordinary repertoire of films of all kinds. And it is not that he has a mania for wolverine or the multitude of versions of him. I simply fall asleep with each new installment because I am more lost, precisely, than a lamb within the pack of so many wolves. …
The bad thing about Ryan Reynolds is that he reminds me of a friend and that makes him leave with a point of strangeness in any of his performances. The good thing about Ryan Reynolds is that like my friend, he is capable of the best and the worst, and that has his…
Halfway between Edward Norton and Sean Penn (even generationally) we find a Robert Downey Junior who sums up the versatility of the former with the charisma of the latter. And it is already known that the greater the variety of magnetic resources for the viewers, the greater the cache one can set for hiring them. …
Beneath his good-guy appearance, Antonio de la Torre always ends up surprising us with his impossible mutations. Between Javier Gutiérrez, Luis Tosar and Antonio himself, we enjoy a Spanish filmography that trusts, in interpretations like those of these three, much of its added value. I often insist on...
My cousin 😉 was one of those discoveries that shake the foundations of the profession. Legends are forged to the point of myth when the unexpected interferes, the change of fate, the turning point..., something that unexpectedly diverts the course of life. Miguel Herrán was not aiming to be an actor, but…
I don't know what the hell Javier Gutiérrez has, but he always ends up convincing you to the core in the role of whatever character. Of course he is not a heartthrob who covers up his acting shortcomings with an easy wink at the camera that obfuscates the viewer on duty. In Javier there is no…
Friend Edward Norton is that blank canvas waiting for his best recreation. A type capable of the most surprising mimicry from an initially bland appearance. In fact, in some of his most relevant films he starts out as a gray office guy who little by little we become...
Today we visit one of those actors who have accompanied the lives of several generations. Both because of his seniority and because of the variety of his records. A heartthrob with ample acting skills to make him that chameleon capable of the most unbridled action as well as the most leisurely suspense or...
The teacher of teachers gives for much more than his mere novelistic work. And today I want to talk about the best films of Stephen King. Because although it is almost never he who directs, his narrative imprint makes him unmistakable as soon as the intense load of his ...
Prejudices can be very curious. Sometimes they even arrive, paradoxically, after the fact. Because before I knew that my friend Nico was Francis Ford Coppola's nephew, he seemed like a real guy to me, a different actor who defended himself well, back in the 80s in movies with very different themes. Paradoxes…
