Minecraft, Jack Black and the Double Mandela Effect

What happens when we think something occurred but it actually didn't? The result of knowing that certain moments or facts didn't happen as we expected can give us both deep sorrow and small joys. Well, if briefly considered, this is more or less how the memory works, specifically in our childhood. For example, what we believed was a certain size—like a hallway's wall—is actually much smaller, or maybe we distort certain details to idealize a specific moment and treasure it in our memories. While

Netflix and Its Unsettling Tendency to AMERICANIZE Everything

These are weird times for the streaming era. I would even dare to qualify them as belligerent due to the extreme strategist quality the powerful leaders are displaying. While several platforms scheme Machiavellian moves to sell us the idea that their next film will be "THE EVENT OF THE YEAR"—and do everything they can to disqualify others—there's also an internal sociocultural battle taking place in which production companies, actors and others involved choose between what apparently are the onl

"Just Reacher": Shaping the Ideal Figure of the Modern Stoic

In the three seasons of the series based on the iconic character of Lee Child's novels, we can see a man that everyone who thinks about greater good would aspire to be. Jack Reacher not only fiercely portrays the four cardinal virtues (temperance, prudence, justice and courage), but also shows us what a human being with mistakes as everyone else is like. I know perfection doesn't exist as one would expect, but there can always be certain human-shaped beacons of hope in this complicated journey o

THE ELECTRIC STATE: The Russo Brothers' Third Joke since Endgame

A few years ago, I read a short opinion regarding the new "source of inspiration" of the millionaire brothers who are ruining streaming and advertising audiovisual consumption as if it was a bag of chips. Yes, the Russo went into an "electric state": they left their hearts on a trunk by following Hollywood's rules to the letter and, as if they were sellers of the famous Lays, offer us something that when opened turns out to be a fraud. I sincerely apologize for this irremediable initial violence

Climate Change and Cinema: A Warning NOBODY Notices

I don't exactly know when the term "climate change" made its way to our daily conversations. This probably started due to a dialogue between two Middle Ages warriors who, while bleeding their last drops of blood, contemplated how the sky separated in two and thought that a great disaster of massive proportions would befall them. Or maybe it was thought by several Vietnamese in a family reunion 200 years ago, when a landslide was destroying all their surrounding homes. Who knows? This meteorologi

Neill Blomkamp's Last Shot: Reimagining a Cult Classic

In 2009, a director praised by the great Peter Jackson surfaced from the hot South African soil, one that had started seducing a few people with certain pretty wild science fiction ideas related to the class differences of his hometown Johannesburg, making some of his terrifying childhood dreams come true. The person in question is Neill Blomkamp, a type of renewed freshness that presented a tragic, bitter docufiction in equal parts with his great District 9, a brutal anti-apartheid allegory. A

Gene Hackman's Death and Its Unsettling Connection with Chinatown

Gene Hackman was 95 years old when he passed away a little over a month ago. Yes, the same time it takes the Earth to completely rotate around the Sun, multiplied by almost a hundred. After his passing, he left us several iconic performances and a message for everyone who believes fame equals true happiness: "If you look at yourself as a star, you've already lost something in the portrayal of any human being." The honest words of someone so respected and loved by the film community echo the lega

Why 2026 could be the year movies beat streaming

Since I can remember, I define cinema as an extension of life itself. It's a curious thing how a reality depicted on a screen can become a part of oneself, but here we are, talking about stories that belong and, at the same time, don't belong to us. Because that's what this art is about: making ours what at first doesn't belong to us. Throughout the last few years, the cosmic journey that entails buying a ticket—or several—arriving at the place, buying popcorn—or sneaking it in a backpack—sittin

PRESENCE: The Most Radical Horror Movie of the Last Few Years

Where do we go when we die? Do we even "go" somewhere? Are we even something when we stop breathing? These are questions that have been catching me off guard for a while now and that we practically have been asking ourselves since we exist as a species. If I think about the most recent film in the "haunted house" subgenre that stands out the most from other films, A Ghost Story immediately rings a bell. With this in mind, veteran Steven Soderbergh thought about conducting a pretty interesting au

Netflix redeemed itself: What's ADOLESCENCE, its great new series, about?

“There's a pandemic of knife crime in our country. And it just really hurt my heart.” This was what seasoned British actor Stephen Graham said, almost on the verge of tears, in an interview where he talked about his new Netflix project in which he didn't take on the role of director, but of the absolute creative mind behind this more than interesting audiovisual work I will comment on further below. A work in which the object of analysis is clearly and specifically human nature, an appealing top

COMPANION: The ultimate twist of the "Final Girl"?

When I think of women representing artificial intelligence (in any way), the two women who star in Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 immediately come to mind. Surely as I keep on writing I’ll remember some other examples. However, with their inevitable contrasts and pseudo-human nuances developed throughout the two films, they encapsulate the notion we have of human and (possibly) digital consciousness. Today, more than ever, we find ourselves on the verge of blurring this fine line, something

Lucas Friesen: Why should human misery be criticized? Does exposing people's misery and telling them to change make them feel seen or isolated? If they are miserable, do they want to be seen? Shouldn't it be sympathized rather than criticized? Reading this immediately after reading your Anora vent article is a real trip. Why should Iris get the right to be free, happy and whatever she wants and Ani doesn't?

The Four Deepest Lessons FLOW, an Instant Classic, Left Me

Since its release and up to this day, many of us (yes, I’m including myself in this conversation) have given Flow—the biggest winner at the latest edition of the Oscars—a different meaning. Sorry, dear Anora, yours is a topic for another article I’m working on, and trust me, it will be at least somewhat controversial for a lot of people. But I have my reasons for making this statement with such enthusiasm. Some even went as far as naming the cat after the film’s title, and around the symbolism e

It's official: Francis Ford Coppola is considered "THE WORST 2024 DIRECTOR"

"I believe in America." These are the first four words Amerigo Bonasera pronounces without us being able to see his face at the beginning of the cinematic pinnacle of a director who was making a name for himself in New Hollywood, rebuilding himself piece by piece, movie by movie. An artist who took all the odds in his favor and threw them out. One who didn't have the notion that this chaotic journey—one of many—would give him the greatest satisfaction of his whole life: being renowned as one of

Non-official vent letter to Sean Baker and his Anora

Somewhere in this big planet, March 15th, 2025 To Sean Baker, award-winning director of Anora and a handful of big movies: I don't like having to write this. I know that, at this time, an accusation of plagiarism from writer Emily D. Warfield is making a lot of noise around you, and more so after winning five Oscars with your last movie, which is the center of the accusation of plagiarism. But I apologize dear Sean, one has to assume the responsibility for his actions. You can't keep quiet. In t

Mel Gibson orchestrates his "Anti-Top Gun: Maverick" with FLIGHT RISK

Every ten years (or less), in the complex and beautiful world of the seventh art, there is a big event that becomes the talk of the town: Mel Gibson, a living legend of the film industry, releases a film directed by him. Who wouldn't want to be under the orders of such a funny, unique and exceptional person as the most audacious filmmaker of all? The last of his filmography as a director had been Hacksaw Ridge, the biopic of Desmond T. Doss, which received some glory at the 2017 Oscars. At that

Vivo en la ciudad de Buenos Aires y me considero un apasionado del cine, estimándolo como el mayor exponente del arte. En el se combina la pintura, el teatro, la música y la literatura, transmitiendo lo que percibimos o deberíamos percibir de nuestra realidad y de las realidades que nos llegan. Por ello escribo y analizo películas y series, partiendo de mis conocimientos como estudiante de ciencias políticas y sociales.
