'El silencio de Marcos Tremmer', you will shed tears.

El silencio de Marcos Tremmer (2024) is a romantic drama that will leave moviegoers in tears. It did so at the film festivals where it was presented (Mar del Plata, Havana, and Santiago de Chile), and it is now showing in cinemas throughout Latin America (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile... and it will soon be released in Spain). The plot follows Marcos Tremmer (Benjamín Vicuña), a successful Uruguayan advertising executive residing in Madrid who is deeply in love with his wife, Lucía (the great Adrian

Zooey Deschanel in '500 Days of Summer' would be my ideal date.

Summer (from the film 500 Days of Summer, Marc Webb - 2009), played by Zooey Deschanel, would be my ideal date. A basic, natural, refreshing, and appealing beauty. A stunning gaze. Special gentleness and grace. A character who emanates its own light and allows the audience feel more empathy for Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his logical infatuation. The film 500 Days of Summer appears to be a typical romantic comedy. After reading the synopsis, it's easy to categorize it as one of those movies t

Companion Made Me Question Everything

Companion is overrated. With a 94% critics score and 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, I realize my opinion for this movie is in the minority. Peliplat keeps it a bit more real, rating the movie a 7.4, but even that seems too high. I'm surprised to see such high praise and the audience flocking to the theatre, despite the movie having a first-time director and a cast made up of relative newcomers. To me, the movie had no clear point, and a social commentary that is neither accurate nor enti

Justice for Burt Fabelman: Mitzi Missed Out

A little over two years ago, I was driving to work around 8:30 am on a snowy January day in Canada. I knew that the nominations for the 95th Academy Awards were being announced, but since I was driving, I couldn’t watch the livestream. I tuned into the car radio. My face fell when the host read the names for Best Supporting Actor- no Paul Dano. At the time, The Fabelmans was my favourite movie of 2022. (I hadn’t seen Aftersun yet. That has since taken the top spot, but The Fabelmans is a close n

Ariana Grande's 2024 is already filled with anticipation — her seventh solo music album, Eternal Sunshine, and her debut as the leading actress in the movie Wicked.

The Kissing Booth, Rom-Coms, and Female Characters: A Fan Interviews Meganne Young

I'm a good writer. I'm good at sitting behind a screen, formulating my web of thoughts into a coherent sentence; lather, rinse, repeat. Maybe that sounds like a brag, but you should know that I'm a good writer because I'm bad at talking. I will never be a public speaker, a theatre performer, or a news broadcaster—but I could easily write all of their lines. When I got an opportunity to sit down for a one-on-one conversation with an actress whose work I admire, I accepted instantly, forgetting ju

Lisa Frankenstein: Long Live the Gothic Badass

Lisa Frankenstein is a 2024 Universal movie directed by Zelda Williams. The movie was written by Diablo Cody. It stars Kathryn Newton with support from Cole Sprouse, Liza Soberano and Carla Gugino. On a budget of $13-million, it made $9.9-million at the box office. The daughter of the late, great Robin Williams, Lisa Frankenstein is Zelda's first feature as a director. She does an amicable job, even if there is nothing unique about her directing style. However, she made a great movie and that’s

The Matrix: Surpassing Dune, Still Reigns as the Ultimate Sci-Fi Masterpiece

As superhero movies are often considered as science fiction, The Matrix by the Wachowski siblings presents a narrative challenge with its gritty, unyielding depth and is a tough nut to crack. However, its greatness transcends the need for facile comparisons. In the absence of The Matrix, the box office standout of 1999 would still be Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. But this wild horse galloped onto the scene, making audiences feel like Lucas' space opera had already drifted away from

Where the Heart Is - Natalie Portman's Walmart Baby

Having been a movie lover all of my life, there are several films that I regularly enjoy watching, and one unexpected one came in the year 2000 - which mid-way through that year happened to be when I turned sixteen, Where the Heart Is, starring Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Joan Cusack, and Stockard Channing. I was so excited to see the Walmart baby movie, but when I finally got my hands on the VHS edition from The Video Shoppe (RIP) in Columbia, TN I had no idea I'd be renting a movie that woul

A Hotshot CEO Getting Tamed by a Young Intern? - Samuel (Babygirl / 2024)

As the title suggests, the movie I’m about to introduce, Babygirl, revolves around the story of a successful CEO of a robotics company with a family who finds herself drawn to a young male intern. Before we dive into this, let's get one thing straight: This isn't about someone I want to marry. This is about someone I want to date. I'm not here to talk about long-term commitment. 🤷‍♀️ So… does that mean it’s okay as long as the affair is beautiful? 🙅‍♀️NO! Not at all! I’m not endorsing cheating

Interview with Agathe Riedinger, Director of "Wild Diamond"

At the end of May, the 77th Cannes Film Festival concluded with four female-directed films in the main competition. Although fewer than last year, the depth and number of discussions on female subjects hit a record. Among the traditional themes, there were notable thoughts on the exploitation of women's bodies and appearance in a patriarchal society, including Agathe Riedinger's "Wild Diamond," the only debut feature among the 22 main competition films this year. The movie follows 19-year-old Li

‘Afire’: The Price of Art

Watching Afire (2023) always reminds me of In the House (2012) by François Ozon. Certainly, both films boast entirely different themes and styles. However, both films examine literature and art from different perspectives, touching on the darker aspects of these creative realms. (Left: Afire; Right: In the House) In the House talks about the bloodthirsty nature of art, showcasing a teacher, a typical middle-aged educated man, who is caustic and selfish by nature.

Why Ape Protagonists Outcharm Human Leads

It's a challenge to assert that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes qualifies as a masterpiece, especially with its ultimately cliché and outdated return to human-centered themes. Nevertheless, the magnetic appeal of the animal characters within it cannot be denied. Whether it be the protagonist chimpanzee Noa (Owen Teague), the antagonistic gorilla Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand), or the briefly glimpsed orangutan Raka (Peter Macon), these characters are rendered with such vividness that one can a

What Disney Means to Me, or People Like Me

Hollywood loves a rags-to-riches story. Little do we know – they may not be fully aware of it either – that their biggest success fits into this conventional narrative mold. The Walt Disney Company, which was founded on October 16, 1923 and is now celebrating its centenarian glory, was for a long time an underdog in the business. A cute one maybe, but never a juggernaut and a media conglomerate that would go on to rank number 53 on the 2022 Fortune 500 US companies by revenue. You may find it ha

Challengers is Slutty, Intense, Magnificent

Why is tennis so damn sexy? Is it the outfits? Is it the heat from the overbearing sun beating down on sweaty, outstretched bodies? Is it the phallic nature of bouncing balls and swinging racquets? Maybe it comes from the innate tension created from the space between opponents. Or, to quote Zendaya's Tashi Duncan in Challengers, is it because tennis is not a game at all, “it's a relationship"? I was hesitant to watch Challengers in the same way that I'm hesitant to watch Babygirl. Sex sells and

It is a masterpiece of science fiction and also one of the best films of the year.

It is one of those gems that, because of its rare beauty and particularity, does not go unnoticed. It is a luxurious cinematic work and an extraordinary analysis of the threats posed by artificial intelligence. At first I struggled to understand what kind of films could be qualified with the term "red flag" or be considered a warning to viewers or to humanity, apart from films that deal with serial killers or psychopaths such as The Lovely Bones (2009), (known as "From My Heaven" in Romantic Ame

I hated reality TV until in watched this - Love is Blind

Everyone has heard of reality TV, and I am pretty sure most of us have seen a show at least once. Personally, I considered reality television to be complete trash and content directed to people with no taste or knowledge of the art of film, as well as having nothing to do with their lives. According to Britannica, reality TV is “a television genre encompassing a wide variety of purportedly unscripted programming”. This genre has existed since the 1940’s, but it has become extremely popular since

Time Flies, yet, Love Sustains A review on film COMRADES: ALMOST A LOVE STORY

The opening scene of COMRADES, ALMOST A LOVE STORY goes like this: The time is 1986. The place is Kowloon Station in Hong Kong. A train from mainland China arrives. Passengers wearing time-typical mainland Chinese Mao suits, carrying bulky luggages, rush out to the platform. There is not one single Rimowa suitcase as far as your eyes can reach. Of course there isn’t. This was the time when Hong Kong was still part of the British Empire. For mainland Chinese at that time, Hong Kong represented a

The Idea of You: Even Anne Hathaway Can't Save It

Even before the release of the movie “The Idea of You,” I have been tuning in to updates about it to a fault. Behind-the-scenes photos, posters, and trailers... social media kept pushing more and more relevant content my way as I eagerly scrolled through all of them and was completely lit up. Can you imagine a 40-odd-year-old single mom going out with a 25-year-old boy (yes, boy), who happens to be a band idol? And although her real age matches her character’s, the heroine, Anne Hathaway, still
