[Movie] I Feel Pretty (2018)
I already know that the typical body swap comedy driven by a magic wish is very worn out... and this film is an alternative version of that plot. But it has a twist I hadn't seen before, which gives this comedy an extra…

[Movie] Tracker (2010)
Tracker is one of those films that blends History with a story we can relate to, or at least feel empathy for. The story unfolds after the Second Boer War, when the British Imperial power offered amnesty to the defeated…

[Movie] Elsa & Fred (2014)

I know I've said on more than one occasion that romantic comedies aren't my favorite genre, but I make the sacrifice of watching them to spend time with my mother. But with this film, something unexpected happened: I ac…

[Movie] The Priests (2015)

To this day, no Korean film or series has managed to disappoint me — though that's statistically irrelevant, since I haven't watched nearly as many Korean films as I have 'Western' cinema. I suppose that's because I'm n…

[Book] When the Sleeper Wakes

Today I had a date in the dark with H.G. Wells. Let me explain: part of this afternoon the power went out, and with it, the wifi signal. Since I had no unread books already downloaded on my phone, I had to improvise. I…

[Movie] Nova Zembla (2011)

When I started the film, my only goal was to pass the afternoon, but it ended up sparking my interest in historical events I never studied in school. There's so much history we simply don't know, that finding it through…

[Book] Sobre las viñas muertas

Over the Dead Vines draws us into a tragic story. Although it is literary fiction, the author drew inspiration from a young woman he met on the Amalfi Coast, as he himself notes in the preface. Readers should not expect…

[Movie] Pandorum (2009)

Pandorum was one of those films I almost missed because I hold an inexplicable grudge against a certain actor. There are actors I simply refuse to watch, for no clear reason. Dennis Quaid is one of them. Even so, I went…

[Movie] The Insider (1999)

Every whistleblower faces a dilemma, often to the point of seeing their lives destroyed. This 1999 film recreates a real case from the American press. ! [SPOILER] Dr. Wigand loses his job at one of the major tobacco com…

[Movie] Before I go to sleep (2014)

Before I Go to Sleep (2014) It's genuinely satisfying to see how some Hollywood actresses act as a kind of "guarantee" of quality. I'm not talking about Oscar winning or critically acclaimed films. I'm talking about som…

[Book] Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

I've always liked science fiction, and after a long stretch without starting any book, I finally decided it was time. I chose this title because I read it was the novel Blade Runner was based on, a film ranked among the…

[Movie] Hostage (2005)

I was flipping through YouTube looking for an interesting movie, with nothing particular in mind, though since I was alone I could pick whatever genres I actually like. So I took advantage of that. At first all I had wa…

[Movie] In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011)

This 2011 film, directed and written by Angelina Jolie in what marked her debut as a director, is set during the Bosnian War. I have to admit that by the time I finished watching it, I was surprised the director was a v…

[Movie] The Penguin Lessons (2024)

I like comedies — dark comedies, generally, because let's be honest, romantic comedies put me to sleep. Maybe that's why I liked this dramatic comedy, and why not admit it, its small co star. ! [Spoiler] Because even th…

[Movie] Memoir of a Murderer (2017)

Memoir of a Murderer is a title that offers several options — quite literally, since it's shared by a Japanese film, a Korean drama spin off, and the original novel that started it all. I'll be talking about the 2017 So…

Empire of the Wolves (2005): The Detective Genre, Reloaded L'Empire des loups is a French film that blends action and mystery with the old detective genre that seemed to have died with the sagas of Poirot or Sherlock Ho…

[Movie] The Shallow tale of a writer who decided to write about a seríal killer

As a fan of dark humor, it's only natural that dark comedies are one of my favorite genres, but I have to be honest: it's hard to find a good dark comedy, so much so that I often prefer to avoid them because they tend t…
