fernando posted a review of Remember

“Predictable, artificiaux idea. Plummer, Landau, Ganz dignifies it. Best part: Plummer more uncomfortable than insulted in the house of the antisemitic policeman.” read more

fernando posted a review of Goodbye Charlie

“Too moderate, I expected more sex play with the idea of a man tourned women after apparent death. At least, there are crooked characters as Matthau and Charlie/Debbie her/himself” read more

fernando posted a review of Stars in My Crown

“A pastoral symphony, the duality of doctor and parson is very well done, both are dignified. The ku klux klan with feelings, deciding no to hung Juano Hernandez, is moving. Tourneur is excellent.” read more

fernando posted a review of Battle Cry

“Perfect timing, intetwinning of stories, prevalence of some of them, cast, heart, dialogues. And something special; this is really a sexy film for 1955 standards, and thanks to the romance between Tab and Dorothy Malone.” read more

“Always bee intrigued and fascinates by the self ending of the Zweigs in Petropolis. Here I just see them, death in the bed, reflecting in a mirror (nice moving touch) but anyhow, in dialogues and Stefan staring the landscape, maybe thinking in Europe's hell and the impossibility of cope with it in t” read more

fernando posted a review of Song to Song

“How Malick begun loosing interest; repeating himself inside the same film, as an outdated Antonioni? Here you can look for a response in Austin, Texas, with musical background (Iggy and Patti), and a trip to Yucatan.” read more

“Too long and eloquente a lifetime, so Riley catches just some themes; but misses to develop more the one he choses to articulate the biopic: teh tragedy about his children. Anyway, good audio, phtos and clips and everything.” read more

“The heroe and his famil, everybody knows the story is greater than them, but they act as if they are living any other story. I like this becuase in a way is a modest docummentary.” read more

fernando posted a review of Wonder Woman

“Poduction values, yes, so what? Bidimensional heroes and heroines, a schematic theory stuttered at the beginning and trying to match with americans and amazons in WW 1, an even more schemaic love story beginning with cracks between heroes, bah.” read more

“Siegel is just ok, westerns are not for him. Washed up as an elegy of indian mystique against normal whites; but now and then has some good violent encounters. Presley ok in a non singing role.” read more

“What else to say? To see and to confirm all about Hitch virtues and tics. Yes, Kim in molded into a nice Hitch woman. Two weeks ago I drove to SF and was difficult to catch the Vertigo sense I've catch before.” read more

“3 stars just because Aldrich amuses in some rare moments and Ursula is a astonishing as Anita is aleady a relaxed beauty. Aldrich tries to find an amusing tone and misses the point most of the time.” read more

fernando posted a review of The Shining

“Reconciliated with Kubrick. Terror movies has evolved in such way that Shining looks ok for me. Isolation and fatalism, psycho and evil; the two forces combine well, here. Nicholson presneted at least half of his tics.” read more

“The character is better than the film, it looses too much inexplaining a lot of roundaabouts, instead of stretching the story and intensifying its best moments.” read more

fernando posted a review of Mayerling

“More than I expected. There's elegance, sense of decadence being constraint, romanticism build up with some subtlety in expense of the political background, perverse undertones (incestuous guilt between Ava and Sharif), and some fantasy in the ballet as seen by Deneuve and Sharif.” read more

“Corny to say the least. Chastain acts as shw wants to, adding a whimsical sexy/froid look that makes me laugh sometimes. A washed up great war drama with too shy animals.” read more
