“(PA) Sick film disguised in linnear good narrative, with decadence of a porn star engaging in a nystery, with good support (the directro, the police brother envy of his sister in law, the child coming of age) and then the porn inside turning a slasher movie with the director crying !new porn baby po” read more

“(Blu) So personal and well done, cinemas hisotru at his feet, Spielberg's financial aid, Scorseses big cameo, love for meaningful detail (in the Van Gogh segment you see tha value of a simple touch of fresh cheap paint)... I love tha simple, great, spacial/existencial dicotomic (in/out the tunnel, t” read more

fernando posted a review of Lady Vengeance

“(Blu) Park, in his last vangeance film, is more obscure and artificial. Even his 'fade to white' idea, for express his female character purification is artificial; but the idea of the collective veangeance, almost choreographed is ok...” read more

“(Blu) Park , in his firts 'vengenace' film, is linnear but as artificial and obscure as after. The sister and the girlfirnd of hot deaf and mute greenhaired Ryu are lookalije so you can suffer a confusion that makes everything more obscure; but the secuences in the river and Ryu taing his dead girlf” read more

fernando posted a review of Boogie Nights

“(PA) Kind of frustrating not to see a softcore version of the hardcore world in wich characters stand; but twists, tension, feelings are not in the sex. The human misery and ambitions, and a fall (maybe the best seuences when they try to cheat Alfred Molina) in lower LA...” read more

“(MU) More box office stuff, less qualities, that's the route from Kotchedd to Pan Cosmatos. But this simplification has a good counterpart on symbolic forceful mythification. Rambo emergin from the water and seizing a helicopter, covered with mud as a force of nature, shooting on the compurers. His ” read more

“(MU) La vanguardia de Portabella es una de sus aficiones, como lo son las cartas, la política, la industria, el diseño, qué se yo, para los perosnajes que deanbulan por aquí sin contar una historia. La belleza congelada de Bose y sus textos leídos disimulando acento, es de no mucho que queda...” read more

“(BLU) Saw this after Alex Gibney's doc on Hunter Thompson; and yeah, there's a neat effort by Gilliam, Depp, Del Toro and script, to cope with Thompson's gonzosploitaition. Its not irreverent, is cruel and depravating and somehow structured and with limits. Even the limits are overacted...” read more
