Habitacion 237 (2012), Kubrick, El Resplandor, y un filme lleno de Huevos de Pascua

Una misma escena, dos fotogramas diferentes. La silla detrás de Jack. Ahora está… ahora no está. ¿Qué pachó?. Prólogo: ¿por qué el director más grande de la historia quiso filmar una película de terror? Estamos a mediados de la década del 70 y Stanley Kubrick es el director más formidable y genial que ha dado a luz la industria cinematográfica del siglo XX. Su filmografía es corta - apenas 9 títulos hasta ese momento - pero la mayoría de sus filmes son obras maestras. 2001, Odisea del Espacio, D

Don Pedro: Cuando comienzas a escribir sobre Kubrick debes prepararte para no para de escribir. Un clasico subestimado, que deberia avergonzar a King, por intentar ridiculizarlo. Buena reseña..

The Good, the Bad, The Weird (2008), a spaghetti...eastern?

There is a Mexican standoff. Three guys pointing at each other. Close-up of their faces, the tension is palpable in the atmosphere. The music of the soundtrack is full of guitars and trumpets. But... wait. This is not Sad Hill Cemetery. We are in the Manchurian desert and the three gunmen who are going to shoot each other are three… Korean cowboys?. How did we get to this nonsense?. This is what happens when you give a Korean film buff carte blanche to film whatever he wants. And since the direc

Matthew Alan Schmidt: I remember seeing the cover for this at Blockbuster all the time as a kid but I could never convince my parents to rent it lol. Now knowing Song Kang-ho is in it, I may have to finally check it out!

G20 (2025), Viola McClane vs. the terrorists

G20 has four screenwriters. Four. And none of them are able to bring any minimally fresh and original ideas to the classic, overused Die Hard formula. Millionaire / powerful people kidnapped in an ultra-luxurious salon?. Check. Terrorist is violent, sadistic and kills random people?. Check again. Do we have scenes on rooftops?. Yes. Are there RPGs fired at armored vehicles?. Yes again. Do the hero and the villain have a duel of wits via walkie talkies?. Of course. Do we have elevator fights?. Bu

Carpe Diem, haz algo util con tu dia

¿Eres feliz?. ¿Has hecho todo lo que quisiste en tu vida?. Yo sé que el concepto de felicidad es subjetivo. Hay gente que se obsesiona con el éxito, quiere tener la mejor casa y el mejor auto (o ser el profesional más exitoso de su especialidad) pero, por dentro, viven existencias vacías o infelices. Pero la felicidad es algo interno y tiene que ver con la satisfacción. No quiero casarme con una modelo para que todos me envidien; preciso casarme con alguien que me ame y me haga feliz. No necesit

Holland (2025), another lousy Fargo clone

The poster does not disguise the fact that the best argument to sell the film is to show it as a Fargo clone. The other day I was watching Holland (2025) on Amazon Prime. Holland is not a prodigy of originality: it is another one of those Fargo clones that seem to be in fashion lately - like Greedy People or Maggie Moore(s), where stupid criminals usually unleash massacres of all kinds (unintentionally) in lost little towns in the United States, usually crammed with colorful characters - and nev

Oscars 2025, un acto (relativo) de justicia

Voy a comenzar contradiciéndome, diciendo que los Oscars siempre fueron el colmo del snobismo y hay toneladas de directores monumentales (Kubrick, Welles, Fincher, Hitchcock… y la lista sigue y sigue) que fueron ignorados olímpicamente. Pero, de unos (pocos) años a esta parte, los Oscars han hecho justicia. No 100% perfecta pero, al menos, han dado un volantazo y han elegido opciones populares con las cuales todo el mundo está de acuerdo. La versión 2025 me recuerda mucho a la edición 2023, dond

Lady Eowyn, the warrior maiden who stole our hearts

“Whatever happens, stay with me.” Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings is a formidable epic. A little more than 9 hours of supreme quality cinema, practically without waste. Formidable battles, great performances, brilliant speeches: the ultimate battle between Good and Evil. However, The Lord of the Rings has a problem... and that is that there are not many female characters that are developed in depth or occupy a preponderant central space. Galadriel, the elven witch, only serves to scare and giv

Ana Maria Herrera Orjuela: What a fascinating article, full of analysis, emotions and mainly narrative skill. Thank you for sharing it. If you agree, I would like you to read and like mine: In Spanish: Viola Davis: Un Legado de Autenticidad y Poder en la Pantalla Grande English: "The Odds": A Descent into Human Depravity

James Bond defeated by his most unexpected enemy, streaming

2006: an image of bygone and much happier times. Why did I write this article? At the Oscar 2025 ceremony there was a musical number with James Bond songs. It is curious because since 2021 there are no new 007 films and the most important news is that Amazon / MGM took over the ownership of the saga. The musical was a kind of farewell, a closing of cycle... because James Bond will no longer be what it was, and here I explain why. A few months ago I remember seeing Daniel Craig presenting the Irv

Lucille Ball, la inmortal diosa pelirroja de la comedia

Su marca de fábrica era sus ojos grandes, su cabellera pelirroja (aunque en realidad era castaña), y su habilidad inagotable para hacer monigotadas. Tenía el raro don de ser una mujer hermosa que no tenía empacho en hacer payasadas, afearse o enchastrarse con cualquier cosa con tal de hacer reír. Pero, más que un rostro bonito y una actriz talentosa, había una mente inteligente, hambrienta por aprender todo lo que pudiera aprender del show business, una perfeccionista nata, y una brillante mujer

Ana Maria Herrera Orjuela: Que fascinante artículo, lleno de análisis, emociones y principalmente de habilidad narrativa. Gracias por compartirlo.Si estas de acuerdo, me gustaría que leyeras y dieras like a los míos: Viola Davis: Un Legado de Autenticidad y Poder en la Pantalla Grande

Ed Wood (1994), el iluso que jugaba a ser cineasta

Primero, un test rápido. Voy a tirarle tres nombres de directores de películas malas de los años 50s y 60s. Phil Tucker William Beaudine Ed Wood ¿Cuál de estos tres les suena? ¿Y por qué? Bad Movies. Películas malas. En realidad es una definición tan amplia que entran filmes de todo tipo y categoría. Están las ridículamente pretenciosas como The Room (2003); están las hechas con dos dólares, los cuales tienen ideas geniales pero los decorados y los efectos especiales son patéticos (El Submarino

Ichabod Alexander: En un mundo de universos cinematográficos y catástrofes cinematográficos al nivel del Hindenburg como Emilia Perez, Ed Wood es uno de esos cineastas que si pudiera traer al mundo de ahora, para escuchar sus historias del rodaje de Plan 9 del Espacio, Glenn y Glenda , como se sintió trabajar con Bela Lugosi y también para que viera la película que hizo Tim Burton acerca de su vida como director. Ed Wood es sin duda de las películas de Tim Burton que me ponen muy emocional junto con Big Fish y Big Eyes. A Ed Wood le habría encantado leer esto.

Emilia Perez, 2024, Bananas, Snobbery, and a lot of offended people

A few months ago, an artist presented in an art gallery a work that consisted of a banana stuck to a wall with a piece of adhesive tape. The work - which he named “Comedian” - was made by Maurizio Cattelan, a renowned artist. At first everyone laughed at it... until a millionaire came along, paid $6.5 million for the work... and then ate the banana. While at first the idea for Comedian seems stupid, it ultimately turns out to be formidable. It is the ultimate and most brilliant satire on the ban

Ichabod Alexander: I actually agree with the two alternatives to watch instead of Emilia Perez, Queer and I'm still here. Mainly "Queer", since this was release a litlle bit in the same year as Challengers by Luca Guadanino and narrates a chapter in life of famed autor William S. Burroughs, brought to life by a magnificent Daniel Craig. But since it is almost a yearly tradition to find the worst movie ever of the year, I guess Emilia Perez has taken the Golden Turkey now and for a long time, and will forever fall into the sky like a flaming Hidenburg blimp.

From Roger Moore with Love, 2024, Icon on and off the screen

“Look at this!. Now I've got two holes where everybody's got one!” (Roger Moore, talking about an accident he suffered when his exploding chair went off prematurely at the climax of The Spy Who Loved Me... and hurt his butt). To place ourselves in time and place, we have to move to Uruguay in the 1970s. There I am, ten years old, going to the movies with my grandfather. Everyone in my family is a cinephile and, although we all have different tastes, we all agree on one thing: we love James Bond

Casablanca, 1942, y el dilema de si los clasicos necesitan ser reevaluados

Clásico: filme revolucionario para su tiempo, sea por tratar una temática absolutamente nueva o utilizar innovadoras técnicas narrativas. Al ser tan novedoso, termina haciendo escuela y pronto surgen otros filmes que copian su temática o su estilo. Sobrevalorado: una película que es apreciada en exceso por la crítica. Esto suele suceder cuando se le da más importancia al prestigio previo de los creativos involucrados - director, guionista, actores del elenco - antes que analizar desapasionadamen

Geiser Salcedo: Que buen artículo Arlequin, de verdad me gusta la forma en como desarrollas tus ideas, me imagino que mucho tiempo dedicas en prepararlos. Me siento inspirada por ti. Gracias por escribir así.

At one point in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) the sinister Grima Wormtongue - who conspired with the forces of darkness to hold the kingdom of Rohan subservient to the wishes of the dark lord Sauron - meets with the wizard Saruman, and comments to him that the humans have become aware of the conspiracy and anticipate that they will soon be attacked. “They are skilled warriors and they are numerous” he says... and then Saruman takes him to the highest balcony of his tower in Isenga

How to create a great cult movie from a ridiculous idea, The Car, 1977

Sometimes miracles happen in cinema. Incredibly stupid ideas give birth to formidably entertaining films. How this happens is a mystery, but it's probably due to a combo of a great cast, a good director and a smart script that keeps the pacing devilishly (!) fast and doesn't have the luxury of questioning the credibility of the horrible underlying idea of the whole story. How Universal Pictures greenlit a project like The Car is an enigma, but one imagines what the pitch meeting must have been l
