Posted : 3 years, 5 months ago on 29 November 2020 02:32 (A review of Think Fast, Mr. Moto (1937))(OK) Lorre makes a good composition and China and Shangai and San Francisco chinatown are good ficitional locations; but there isn't enough rythm, humour and stylised action

Posted : 3 years, 5 months ago on 29 November 2020 01:58 (A review of The Immigrant)(OK) The first part is great, iconic for inmigration to the land of liberty, while rocking dreams and miseries in the boat. Then is pure good cafe routine with Charlie and Edna.

El Norte review
Posted : 3 years, 5 months ago on 29 November 2020 01:56 (A review of El Norte)(ok) La migración es una gran narrativa de arrastre, road movie con contenido y fin; aquí se mantiene el interés una vez que pasan la frontera, si hay denuncia es a ambos lados, el clise es uniforme y no mina la película

Encore review
Posted : 3 years, 5 months ago on 29 November 2020 01:53 (A review of Encore)(OK) The best of the trilogy. Ante the best of thte 3 stories is the cruise with Kay Walsh, teneder and sad and comic and full of understatement. The firs sketch wth Nigel Patrick as the crooked brother is ok, and the last one with almost tragic Glynis is good but washed up in the happy end
