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…

Knocked Up, Juno, Waitress – three recent American comedies in which the protagonist’s pregnancy is as desirable as salt in an open wound. Of those three films, the sugar-coated Waitress, is the farthest from reality and though its synopsis may indicate otherwise, it definitely doesn’t serve only a means of…

Like The Candidate and Primary Colors, The Ides of March shows us what we won’t see on the television news and what we rarely read about in the newspapers. It gives us a look behind the scenes, allowing us to get to know the men and women whose precisely balanced statements such as “I’m nobody, I’m anybody” make other…

An above-average soap opera that, through a sequence of lightweight episodes (not a single scene fully conveys how serious the situation in the South really was), capitalises on the myth of progressive young people who made the United States a better country in the 1960s. The story with a big heart is stuffed into a…

“My Kokoschka!“ With films such as Repulsion, The Tenant and Death and the Maiden, Polanski demonstrated that he can build tension with just one room and a few actors to the point where we are ready for anything while having no idea what to expect. Carnage is made up of concise scenes, yet it continuously puts great…

The mother gives love, the father money and the sons cease to be impartial based on their own preferences. Private Property, about the disintegration of an already incomplete family, is an intimate drama to its marrow. As pleasant as a blast of freezing air to the face, packed with reticent “I wonder what they’re…
