What’s deformed is human nature, not appearance. The so-called humanitarian care in the film is disgustingly hypocritical! Sometimes it’s impossible to tell whether this “compassion” is condescending pity or a charity tinged with arrogance—we’re left with no choice but to accept it all.

After watching the film, I can’t help but feeling helpless: his only tragedy is that he is truly human.

Muy buena

Yesterday I finished this series, rich teenagers living the summer without worries, I can't say it was a breath of fresh air because it wasn't. I was entertained, I liked how the characters and the past interacted with the present, I even liked the unexpected twists that one doesn't know about if one hasn't read the books. However, I feel that It was missing a bit more magic; it ended up being just another series with twists at the end that were perhaps a bit obvious and seemed like a cliché. I still enjoyed it.

A parade of monsters alone can’t carry a film. The first "Silent Hill" worked because it had a script that made sense to most viewers and gave them a reason to stay engaged. This sequel, on the other hand, barely has a story at all. Whether due to poor editing or a flawed script, there's no buildup, no climax, no suspense—characters and plot points appear without explanation or logic.

I study this movie .

As a commercial thriller, "The Ice Road" delivers. It offers nerve-wracking action against a deadly natural backdrop, while letting Liam Neeson lead a dramatic rescue against corporate villains. The film also shines a light on life in the remote North, reshaping how we view truckers and inviting a newfound respect for their profession.

One of the most striking moments in "The Equalizer 3" comes when the townspeople rise up to defend Denzel Washington’s character instead of watching helplessly from the sidelines as the mafia closes in. Their quiet courage turns a standard action setup into something more heartfelt. These are people worth saving, and it’s this collective act of bravery that helps the protagonist realize that he has finally found a place to call home.

Ash’s upbeat track “Feels Like Summer With You” plays repeatedly throughout the film, injecting joy and warmth that matches the story perfectly. Familiar cues from the TV series also make delightful appearances, providing a nostalgic bonus for longtime fans.

While the film’s themes may feel underdeveloped, its main appeal lies in its fusion of martial arts and gunplay. "Equilibrium" shines as an action movie, and Christian Bale gives a strong performance as the emotionally awakened protagonist who chooses to join the resistance.

Okay, I will try to fair and unbiased with my review...

'Alien' is the greatest science-fiction horror film ever made and puts all those sequels to shame. Yes, I like 'Aliens', but I do not consider it a real horror film. And James Cameron was wise enough to not even try to match what Ridley Scott achieved with his atmospheric piece of cosmic horror.

And why would he even try? This is what we call a perfect storm of a film: the casting, the set design, the monster, the script, the general mood of the piece and the other player in the film: our imagination. We are constantly wondering what is just around the corner when we learn that the there is a monster on board. And doesn't it seem as though the ship is more hospitable to the xenomorph than the humans?

Just a theory...

So, almost a perfect score. I withhold one star because I still think that the decision to leave a planet with an alien attached to someone's face, and then to have dinner with that person once it seems he has recovered, proves that they had the worse captain piloting the Nostromo home. Fortunately, we get the great love of my life, Sigourney Weaver, to point out the silliness of such decisions and she becomes the greatest "last female standing' in film history...all in her first starring role.

So, watch it again, and forget that you already know that scene and who lives to tell the tale (Jonesy and Siggy?). It deserves the special place on the mantel it holds to this day.

It's almost weird to realize that it has been 12 years since a Superman solo movie, yes we did have Batman vs Superman (2016) but it was a dual protagonist; we also had so on movies in the subsequent years such as Justice League and cameos. Truly, we haven't been deprived from 'The Man of Steel' but we have been missing the 'The Big Blue' 'The Boyscout' the heart of who Superman is and what the S represents...hope.

"Kindness is the new punk rock" is something by the end we are left with and it's what the new Superman leaves as his core. David Corenswet pours his craft and heart into his portrayal, the whole ensamble feels ready to keep living in the world James Gunn and DC Studios is crafting for the future. The romance between Lois and Clark is magnectic, Rachel and David have onscreen chemistry this OG DC couple need like in Superman (1978), My Adventures with Superman (2023), Superman and Lois (2021) and the later seasons of Smallville (2001).

The great highlight I think in my mind is Nicholas Hoult and his amazing portrayal of Superman's nemesis Lex Luthor, if you can't be Superman might as well be Lex [context: he auditioned for the Superman, also for Batman in The Batman (2022) and didn't get them]. You can see the hate and repulse this Lex has for the alien metahuman and truly believe his rage to his intellect and ambition could be his downfall and in the future.

Without going to SPOILERS territory I have a few points: The movie has the kinda of the same wishes I wanted from The Batman, a bit more of the daily life as Clark in The Daily Planet, we did saw more Gotham and as a Gothamite wanted more and Metropolis seemed as an interesting city to learn more about it's people, people whom Superman took home as closer neighbors. They did also shared some paralelism themes with their parental figures to which also ended in a similar lesson.

It's not exactly the more airtight James Gunn superhero movie but also it's the most look upon since this one I can surmissed was deeply scrutinied by the bosses at WB and had to comply for success without poking to many tigers (although tigers poked or not felt provoked but what can you do).

I'm excited to where this new DC is going, maybe since DC fans have been waiting to see the expansion on the silver screen as the Marvel fans have had for more than 10 years.

Unfortunately, the case itself doesn’t offer much substance for reflection. While I’m inclined to believe the brothers’ account of their abusive upbringing, the lack of physical evidence leaves the narrative feeling emotionally manipulative. Unlike the O.J. Simpson trial, which was legally gripping, this case leans heavily on evoking sympathy. The film’s only intellectually valuable point comes at the end, when it touches on how the era’s limitations shaped the verdict.

Overall, it’s a solid movie with some genuinely surprising turns. Although the lead’s motivation—robbing a bus because he couldn’t afford his daughter’s surgery—feels a bit contrived, the film still portrays fatherly devotion effectively. The story structure, pacing, and soundtrack all come together quite well.

"Animal" tells the story of a middle-class family torn apart when the father develops kidney failure and turns to the black market for a transplant. The poor, hoping to sell organs for a better life, come off as crude and greedy, while those on the brink of death are pushed into moral extremes. Each character peels back another layer of human nature—survival, selfishness, deception. It’s a sharp, unsettling piece of Argentine indie cinema.

Muy buena

That said, this is one of Jia Zhangke’s least accomplished works—visually disjointed and emotionally hollow. His characters, once celebrated for reflecting the tides of history, now feel like empty vessels, reduced to passive tools rather than real people.

The story unfolds through the main character’s selective retelling, while flashbacks reveal the actual events. This narrative structure keeps things clear and straightforward. The film doesn’t dwell on Cold War politics, so rather than over-analyzing it as a spy thriller, just enjoy the stylish, hard-hitting action.

The film engages with weighty themes like morality, power, justice, and human nature without preaching or simplifying. Instead, it leaves space for the audience to wrestle with these questions themselves, and that open-endedness makes the viewing experience all the more rewarding.

I was personally drawn to the director’s use of music and color. The soundtrack blends electronic beats, strings, and playful piano in a way that recalls the opening of Tenet—especially “Rainy Night in Tallinn.” Several scenes pulse with that same exhilarating energy.
