“Desde que era niño decían que mi familia estaba maldita. Nunca hablamos de eso. Y no sé si mis hermanos y yo lo creímos en ese momento, pero cosas malas siguieron sucediendo. Mamá trató de protegernos con Dios. Papá trató de protegernos con la lucha libre. Dijo que si éramos los más duros, los más fuertes, los más exitosos, nada podía hacernos daño. Le creí. Todos le creímos. Amábamos a nuestro padre. Y amábamos la lucha libre” [1] Este año se estrenó en cines la película sobre la familia Von E

Totem: A Mexican girl facing impending tragedy but buoyed by family love

If I’m not mistaken, the word “family”, or “la familia” in Spanish, never appears in Lila Aviles’ “Totem”. Yet, it is a heart-warming and heart-breaking probe into this most basic of human societal units. Sure, the title is a big hint. I don’t know about other languages, but in China, where the Mexican movie was shown at both international film festivals in Beijing and Shanghai and won the Best Director Award at the former, it suggests an ancient object or representation for clan gathering or wo

‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’: All the Spider-Men, All the Spider Suits and all the Villains

Before the release of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (2023), there are a few Spider-Men and villains you need to know about: Spider-Gwen: Spider-Gwen made her debut in "Edge of Spider-Verse" issue #2, and her real name is Gwen Stacy. In fact, Gwen Stacy from the main universe made her debut as early as "The Amazing Spider-Man" issue #31 in 1965, where she was one of Peter Parker's former girlfriends. During a battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, Gwen fell from a great height, and

Arrival, Star Trek, and Hope in Humanity

Typical alien movies are beyond unappealing to me. They all hit the same beats: an international team working together only for an unknown extraterrestrial creature to begin hunting them down one by one, and in the end, the alien either makes its way to Earth, ready to prey upon the rest of humanity or is left lurking somewhere, a threat waiting to reawaken. There's a disturbingly obvious xenophobic reading to these stories - international cooperation is useless and anything foreign is bad and c

We need more movies like 'Monkey Man', Dev Patel's directorial debut | Review

Courtesy of Universal Pictures BY JERÓNIMO CASCO MAY 24, 2024, 13.51 PM | UTC-GMT -3 Hanuman: Monkey god of the Hindu mythology and one of the most important deities of the pantheon. This god has an almost unlimited physical force that, when he was born, allowed him to jump to the sun as he confused it with a fruit. Long live Dev Patel. Monkey Man, Patel's directorial debut, is mind-blowing, hypnotical, visceral, wild and exciting and is among the best debuts in the action genre of the last year

A. Bayona that the cunning Mexican director set his eyes on to create The Orphanage (2007), a Spanish horror film with gothic and supernatural characteristics.

Popcorn Review: She’s the Man

Hey there, welcome to our Popcorn Review of "She's the Man," a commercial, romantic comedy directed by Andy Fickman and starring Amanda Bynes. In this review, I'll tell you what I thought of the film, whether I liked it or not, and whether I think you might be into it too. I'll also discuss how the movie explores gender identity and self-awareness among teenagers. I wouldn't say this is the most awkward film I've watched, it is certainly not a masterpiece. The middle part of the film does offer

No More Single Moms Dating Celebrities, PLEASE!

I’m calling it now: there hasn’t been a single good rom-com this year. You know me, I’m a rom-com aficionado. Early this year, I watched "Upgraded", which had a good-looking cast and good pacing. At first, I was smiling when watching it. But soon, I realized the movie didn’t handle the protagonist's moral issues well, making the female lead seem more like an scammer lying about her identity. Then there was "Through My Window III." Okay, this is more of a teen romance, but it’s neither funny nor

Fantastic Animal could always cheer me up with its unique universe

In the movie, the narrative focus is clearly on Newt and his magical pals and is the core driving force of the plot development. But the script Newt and Credence two lines both accounted for or the promotion of the plot are equally important, while the third Grindelwald line is buried in the Credence storyline, which is not prominent. Rowling said in an interview before the release of the film, Fantastic Beasts really want to express that the story is not the most obvious one, then the main stor

Inside Out 2 and the Sanitisation of Childhood

I didn’t just dislike the first Inside Out movie - I found it borderline offensive. As a kid who moved every two to three years, it felt like the movie was just waving away the pain I lived with daily to give everyone else in the audience a feel-good message. The only reason I even bothered watching Inside Out 2 was because people kept raving about it and assuring me that I would enjoy it. They were wrong. If anything, it made me hate the first film even more. While Inside Out blinded me with ra
