The first episode with the series' Julia Pennyworth. Casting Christina Wolfe was a classic whitewashing drama because in the comics she's the dark-skinned daughter of Batman's butler Alfred and Mademoiselle Marie (but only since 2014). Originally, everyone was white, and Julia started as Julia Remarque, whose…

A film that offers some impressive moments, but as a whole it mostly skims the surface. It deals with a few key themes, but it is mostly too thesis-like and one-dimensional. A raging America where we get no introduction and a miserable, rushed conclusion. Jesse Plemons steals for himself what is undoubtedly the film's…

It’s too colourful, too CGI-laden, and Jennifer Lopez runs around with her big ass at the beginning and admits in one of the dialogues that she has wrinkles and covers her grey hair because nobody gets younger, and for that she gets my nod because her Botox colleagues in the industry probably see it differently. You…

The 61st Disney feature film is a modern blend of classic adventure stories from the Earth's core. The family dynamics are reminiscent of Indiana Jones, but one can practically recall anything from Verne's works to Narnia or Pellucidar. In the context of Disney films, the theme continues from Atlantis: The Lost Empire…

Extremadamente delicada, tranquila y lenta, es una película con un alma pura y melancólica. Comienza como un retrato de la Mumbai abarrotada y lluviosa, con una visión de la vida de dos amigas en ella, y luego se traslada a un lugar más tranquilo. El debut en ficción de una documentalista experimentada recuerda con…

Federico Zampaglione has gotten better. His previous film was tiresome bullshit, whereas this one is only unintentionally funny bullshit, thanks to its transparency. The first half of the film offers up a number of genre delights, when imaginatively bloody murders alternate with sequences involving nude bedroom…

If it didn’t have "Directed by Sofia Coppola" in its credits, no one would have given this insipid docu-drama a second thought. The most bizarre aspect of The Bling Ring is its indecisiveness and lack of concept. The film obviously wants to be a major cautionary tale about the twisted values of the young, but it…

The only aspect of Haywire that dampens my enthusiasm after watching it is the fact that the very existence of Soderbergh’s film reminds me how much the action genre has been degraded in Hollywood and elsewhere over the past two decades. When an action thriller in which the main character is a woman who, however, does…

This raunchy yet in no way unique French porn flick provides another variation on the classic formula involving the central character’s sexual awakening. In this case, it’s Brigitte Lahaie as a respectable woman with repressed desires who is constantly let down by the straps on her dress, thus revealing not only her…

Though, strictly speaking, 28 Days Later should not be ranked among zombie movies, given that the origin of the apocalypse it depicts would rather place it among contagion films, it draws directly from the tradition of zombie-apocalypse movies on many levels. Furthermore, its international box-office success had a…
