“(OK) Never so many stars wasted (maybe in "The puppy is also a flower"), but here they have entire scenes as Robinson, Garson, Leigh and Curtis, Novay, Sinatra and Martin, Lemmon in woman's disguise, etc. But Pepe is treates with such paternalism and clisés that Cantinflas seems to be a little asha” read more
“(MU) The naiveté of not so early nudies, in this case with a terror/fantastic touch of a puppet being caressed or hit and that, as arbitrary as possible, being reproducen in the main character. The freak is interesting...” read more
“(MU) Buen documental con caracteres escogidos para que testimonien, se oponga, se hagan cómplices y creen escenas grupales como la de la piscina.” read more
“(OK) A harsh, hard, macho Aldrich adding rugby to prison unjustice. Dirty Dozen meets Cool Hand Luke. Action piece with strong characters, strong supports and nothing else. Bernadette Peters is funny” read more
“(MU) Api's debut is as rare object as himself, undefined register (begins as a documentary woth interviews, then characters tell and perfom an improivsed story) and undefined reality/fiction; this in consistent with all his work” read more
“(MU) Akin's non pretentious effectiveness, versatile in themes but always with his transversal islamic/mulicultural informal explossive behaviour, with romantic touches and here, a choral protagonism brought by gastronomy...simple and corny” read more

“(OK) Good point of departure, Leigh's idea of a ideal furlough as a prize for isolates soldiers; but the bombshell Linda Cristal distracts the idea (it is supposed that the other men are well informed of what's passing and ypu don'd see them till the end) ; it goes better when romance between Curtis” read more
“(MU) Sick and neat, a surprise revisiting this underrated film. The obsessions of class (the quality of business cards is amazing, the restairant reservations) are as sick as the fantasies (you don't know they are) of psycho killing...” read more
“(MU) Rare, Leth is such a good sport that accpets with obedience every Von Trier's idea and does it with gusto. in thouse and in how hy Lars expain them is the film essense” read more
“(OK) It begins well, elegant, funny, but since the confussions in the restaurant (well, Joi Lansing has one og the best bodies in Hollywood” read more
“(OK) Aldrich in the right funny mood with Marvin and Borgnine, both divine. Keith Carradine good support, and the chorus of tramps betting their misery to a epic fight between the leads. The derpession era is the perfect time for Aldrich moods...” read more
“(OK) Sidney reached the sobriety and elegance og late musicals, few long numbers as the first one in a roman swimming pool with some life in the bottom, a funny reduction to absurd of the war with Hannibal (Keel versus amused Sanders) and ambitious but smooth and easy going spectacular numbers with ” read more
“(MU) In the islam a woman's director film, must be a reivindicative one; impossible not to. The girl of the title wins a so small battle (having a bycicle which is not forbidden for girls, but is not usual for them) while her mother suffers his man taking a second wiefe, which is allowed, too.....” read more

“(OK) Early Wiseman's docs were shorter and condensed, He slects stories, moments and work with his real characters; all of them has good texts, all moments has 'meaningful' topics...” read more
“(MU) Little rediscovered gem. Zachary is always good, alcohol is always an extraordinary element of tension, Mary Boland redeems of her previous frivolous filmography with her treacherous Smitty, Bromberg has a goog 'peterlorrean' character...” read more
“(MU) Good main character, no sense of future, of place, of limits in the ceiling (the steawrdess collective Dream is to work in Dubai) and she even refuses to study buts has to; but somehow tender moments with passengers...” read more
“(OK) Corman amuses hismself as much as Aldric with his Grissom Gang. Winters is overwhelming, possesive, sick, horny mama, she even kisses her elder son (Don Stroud) and bathe the other adult boys. The chorus of characters is well distributed and filmed....” read more
“(MU) Strange evolution from Pawlikowski: he could get two stars (Hawke and Thomas) to this not well cooked mystery drama of a clisé writer penniless in Paris; and then thwe b/w economic wonders of Ida and Cold War!” read more
“(OK) Me gustó mas que las primeras veces que la ví, quizá la nostalgia de conversaciones con Nelson Rodríguez. Aquí están todos los picos de Solás, varios estilos, varios presupuestos, olas, ambciones, éxitos. La carga desnuda, el acercamiento a las mujeres que se desmelenan colectivamente (” read more

“(MU) The american Kaurismaki, Jarmusch has 2 wonderful not so losers buddies in asexual love with Eva, hunging with her in cold Cleveland then going to separte accidentally the 3 of them in an isolated Florida motel. The fades in black and some scenes of laconic feelings of character such different ” read more
“(OK) Aldrich as sharp as he uses to be, specially when coping with the end of the gang and Ma at her/his 'noirest' with a machine gun. But its too easy for them to kill, easier than taming Slim. Darby changes too much, that's unconvincing, but that's Aldrich's sharpness...” read more
“(MU) Poetic, melodramatic in Ghatak's way (long reaction close ups, small but sharp ellipsis, long as the river. Too extense plot, you loose some ends and twists, and fatality comes over all not even redeeming os sublimating...” read more
“(MU) Eugen improves as a director and seems to lose as a character. Here, Dasha steals the film and impose a sort of melancholy, trying to fuch someone. As the 4th of july party scene in "A wonderful cloud" here's a nice Halloween party scene...” read more
“(OK) 4 stars just because there´s two renditions of wonderful 'There's no business like showbusiness...' and because Betty Hutton is at her best. Even Howard Keel brigths close to her singing a playful duo....” read more
