Movie reviews. All about the best films of many directors, as well as my vision and criticism of the actors' performances.
Beyond other types of value judgments that always affect such popular characters as Tom Cruise in front of and behind the cameras, we are undoubtedly facing a very valid actor. Before the respectable stone me for highlighting Tom's virtues, we can agree that...
The case of Roman Polanski would justify the idea that the poles attract. Because the creativity of this film director can only be compared with its darkest side, with that kind of perdition clinging to its destiny and that stems from the diversity of cases of possible or...
To the credit of the Australian director Peter Weir we find a handful of great films that unfortunately have been sprinkled in a very punctual way. Ignoring the reasons why Weir did not assume more directions in productions with his particular Oscar-winning label on several occasions. Maybe it's a one…
Making the direction and scriptwriting of a film compatible is already a great virtue. Adding the musical composition to it on many occasions is an almost insulting demonstration of creative capacity. That is why Alejandro Amenabar's filmography offers us a diversity of stories in their most disparate forms of fiction. From …
One of the friendly faces of the most popular Hollywood. Tom Hanks is, in that unfading appearance, a kind of American-style Jordi Hurtado who has managed to reach the general public with various chameleon-like performances. But in addition to the close appearance of him, he also keeps his collection of Oscars that attest to a…
Few actors in the world like DiCaprio. An actor who wins over us all with his acting ability, far above any other more physical gift or any type of obvious charisma. In each role this actor knows how to exploit the strangest nuances of his childish face. A …
Beneath his appearance as an affable and even domestic type, Guillermo del Toro hides a creative universe that finds in his particular fictions the natural channel from which to finally overflow. The fantastic genre is available, in the hands of this director, as a winning bet to reach higher levels of popularity than …
When I was in Zaragoza, at university, I fell in love with a neighbor with whom I met in the elevator of the rented flat. She was the daughter of the owner of the apartment and I never dared to say a peep to her. And then I found out that she was an actress. Yes, she turned out that girl...
In today's cinema we find several examples of common director-actor tandems. Without a doubt, mutual knowledge results in better billing of movies and even, who knows, in cost reduction. Tim Burton has Johnny Deep, Scorsese has DiCaprio many times. And David...
Fear made suspense like a creative sublimation. Hitchcock had that gift for the recreation of any fear between symbols that connect with the subconscious and unsuspected twists of his plots. A virtuoso who is greatly missed in color. Especially so that he would have summarized his ...
The filmography of Álex de la Iglesia accompanied my generation in that youthful time in which transgression, alternative creation and even black humor were sought. The arrival of each new film by this director was received with that taste for surprise, discord, even stridency. ...
When the expression "tarantinesco" has spread, it is that good old Quentin has at least left his mark, for better or for worse. Because there are those who only see him as disturbed (the appearances of the character do not help to consider otherwise) and others who see him as a genius ...
