PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH

La franquicia Shrek de DreamWorks Animation ha estado en muchas de nuestras vidas desde 2001. Para algunos de los niños que vieron la primera película de Shrek, ahora son padres, lo que nos convierte a algunos de nosotros en abuelos. Cualquiera de las otras películas que siguieron son la guinda del pastel si amabas a… Continue reading PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH

AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER

Within the last few months, I was able to view Avatar (2009) when it had a theatrical release once again. I am not one to have viewed it multiple times on a disc, nor on regular television. I recall leaving the theater after the recent viewing of the 2009 film moved so much more by… Continue reading AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER

AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER

En los últimos meses, pude ver Avatar (2009) cuando se estrenó en cines una vez más. No soy de los que lo han visto varias veces en un disco, ni en la televisión.

One particular film goes so hard that it goes over-the-top in moments and overplays the filmmaker’s love and passion for the medium. The other which is this movie, Empire of Light, actually falls… Continue reading EMPIRE OF LIGHT

EMPIRE OF LIGHT

El drama de Sam Mendes, Empire of Light, está ambientado a principios de la década de 1980 en un pueblo junto al mar. El teatro se ve muy lujoso para la época y era un lugar para ser visto cuando se estrenaban las últimas películas. La jefa de turno, Hilary Small (Olivia Colman) parece haber… Continue reading EMPIRE OF LIGHT
