”PEDRO PÁRAMO" (2024) is Netflix’s ULTIMATE POWER PLAY!

After waiting for what felt like ages, i finally set aside some time this past Friday to watch Netflix’s new adaptation of Pedro Páramo, the famous novel by Juan Rulfo. It came out on November 6, after a couple of months’ build-up, and let me tell you, I was beyond ready. I remember so clearly back in Year 7 when my literature teacher made us read Pedro Páramo – quite a book, eh? Back then, I could barely grasp half of what Rulfo had written, but there was something about it, something that made

Sakata Gintoki: From Goofball to Guardian

In the expansive universe of Japanese manga, Gintama stands out for its unique storytelling and profound themes, capturing the hearts of countless readers. Its protagonist, Sakata Gintoki, is a blend of comedic charm and deep-rooted samurai ethos. He seamlessly merges tradition with modernity, absurdity with solemnity, crafting a character that’s both complex and irresistibly engaging. The Depth Behind the Laid-Back Demeanor At first glance, Gintoki is easily recognizable: wild, with naturally c

Stranger Things: A Journey of Nostalgia and Courage into the World of the Unknown

A few years ago, I immersed myself in the world of "Stranger Things." At the time, I barely knew the cast or details of the plot, but the atmosphere of the series immediately drew me in. "Stranger Things" is not just a series; it’s a portal to a nostalgic era, a blend of mystery, horror, and adventure that takes us back to the 1980s, a time when life seemed simple, and curiosity was insatiable. What started as a trial episode turned into a deep, emotional journey filled with universal themes tha

Donald Trump is just a man.

I'm not going to even try to pretend I'm unbiased. I’m preparing for the holidays in the US with my parents (including my immigrant father) right now, but there’s none of the usual cheer. Election day was spent silently avoiding the news and dodging the topic of the election. Even now we avoid speaking of it unless we’re talking about plans going forward, but no matter what we try to distract ourselves with, the political reality is always lurking in the back of our minds. I can’t say I’m surpri

Why Are Horror Films Still Impregnating Women?

Seriously, it's 2024, and horror movies are still getting women pregnant? Halloween is coming, and I'm feeling a bit anxious. My friends will definitely ask me to recommend some new spooky films, but I'm afraid I don't have anything to offer that'll satisfy them. So far, the horror movies that've come out ahead of the Halloween season haven't been great, especially Apartment 7A. The movie had me hooked with its promise of being a prequel to Rosemary's Baby (1968), but what did I get? After watch

Are true crime shows making us sympathize with killers?

Over the past several years, the popularity of true crime series has skyrocketed, and I, like many other people, ended up caught by this wave. Be it stories involving serial killers, intricate offenders or intriguing cases, the appeal seems undeniable. However, lately, one question has begun to bother me more and more: are these productions making us sympathize with murderers? With Netflix bringing productions like Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, A Friend of the Family, and the contr

Sorry to disappoint you: there isn't (and never will be) an ideal future

For a while now, everyone's been talking about the horrors happening due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has been on the way for almost eighty years but, lately, it has intensified to unbearable levels. Territorial, political and religious matters burn like an unstoppable fire in Israel's heart every second, breaking out chaos and an unnecessary fight for power in which kids perish under ruble, families starve without being able to find a way out and thousands of people are compelled

Roman History to Know Before Watching Gladiator II

With Gladiator II on the horizon, my anticipation is through the roof. As a sequel to the 2000 classic, Gladiator II takes place two decades after the original film's events. When I first watched Gladiator, I was captivated by Maximus’s heroism but also skeptical about its historical accuracy—could Maximus really just kill an emperor so openly in the arena? As I delved into Roman history, it became clear that there were many liberties taken. Let’s start with the original Gladiator. First, Maximu

Chatting About Movies With Couchsurfers

During my 11-year journey around the globe, I couchsurfed about 60 times, though I didn’t meet many hosts who were film enthusiasts. Those I stayed with may not have provided thrilling or heart-pounding experiences, but their unique life stories and the brief time we shared were still richer and more engaging than most slice-of-life films. After all, life isn’t a movie; life is more than a movie. There are several existing short documentaries about couchsurfing Now, staying in a two-bedroom apar

The Apprentice: a satire that gets to be the butt of its own joke?

The reversal of events is truly unexpected. A year ago, Donald Trump was a defendant in four federal criminal cases, his social media accounts were banned for incendiary statements and misinformation, and his status as the Republican presidential candidate was still undecided. A year later, Trump became the 47th President of the United States. This outcome underscores how desperate Americans have felt. Despite witnessing countless absurdities, lies, scandals, and inappropriate behavior from Trum

Alejandro Franco "Arlequin": I think that the more you hit the character, the more popular he is, it gives him a mythical reputation. I don't think Trump is Superman, but rather that the Democrats are clumsy: they have forgotten to defend the poor - their voting base - and on top of that they have put a black woman as a candidate, which is demanding too much from a population that is extremely conservative for the most part. I knew Roy Cohn from a film with James Woods in the 70s/80s, an amoral climber who made his way into the film industry. I didn't know that he had been Trump's mentor, I discovered it when reading the summary of this film. Perhaps Trump represents the epitome of American idiosyncrasy, and they see a recalcitrant conservative self-made man as admirable. What I don't understand is why he is a friend of those who are enemies of the USA, it is something that escapes my imagination. Impossible to imagine Reagan being a friend of the Soviets, Trump would have hugged Brezhnev. Great analysis.
