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 Obama´s 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. The idle rich in paris and the apperances shouting they are just that...” read more

“(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
