“(OK) Western comedy from Aldrich, but also Gene Wilder coming of wisdom to America, from coast to coast, robbers, indians and whatever. Ford's character has a forced relation wiht Wilder, is the corny stuff...” read more

fernando posted a review of Night on Earth

“(MU) Jarmusch in light simple taxi sketches, the Los Angeles one woth Gena and Winona is light, ok; the NY with esposito, Mueller and Rosie Perez is better mixing cultures and characters, go deeper; the Paris one is a bit pahetic; the Rome one has Benigni in a round tragicomic sketch reminiscent of” read more

“(MU) Nice not so ambitious opera prima, nostalgic of a disfunctional family, with new bonds, or precarious bonds looking better than they are to the boys, a denial of the usual fatalist coming of age films...” read more

fernando posted a review of Woodstock

“(OK) The huge director's cut has no waste. Even the interview of the man cleaning the sewers is great or the boys calling therir families in booth, the liberation of an accidental moving city in a disaster area; and, the excellence of many numbers knowing they are history:Cocker, Baez, the first one” read more

“(OK) Aldrich has no traumas in exposing the cops in all their misery and humanity. The racist one causes all tragedies and is condecorated, the homofobia and fobia to sexy body masochism is so big that makes Perry King takes his life, Durning is as moving as Geroge C Scott in The new centurions (its” read more

fernando posted a review of Killing Them Softly

“(MU) Dominik learning from the genre and the masters and even has a Liotta as good as in 'Goodfellas'. Pitt is learning too, and pronounces the right words in cynical response to Obamaยดs speeches. Gandolfino as an alcoholic killer and the australian junkie, nice touches” read more

“(OK) Aldrich said this was one of his best, if not the bestm and thats arguably. Action is so tight and balanced, so well staged with characters strong on motifs (specially Lancaster) ; the political fiction plot of throwing a president to death in tha name of nation secrets, is credible, why not?” read more

“(MU) Takes some time to construct the knot of characters in domintios deception plot. Adjani thinks she is strong but fells for Bates as he succumbs to her, eberybofy is victim and victimizes the other in the quartet.

fernando posted a review of Seven Days in May

“(Blu) Frankenheimer surprises again and again, 3rd time I vibrate with this political thriller that appears as nuclear fiction and its so human that the love letters of martini lover Ava Gardner has the same importance of a secret militar base. Great cast, excellent results with less ambiton than Pr” read more
