  Elephant 2003

  ★★★★ Watched by Adrián Gómez 22 Jun 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Deafening silence / Silencio ensordecedor

  And yes, the blind men and the elephant, where we have different visions, repeating the youthful scream from different angles, different moments, different cities and countries, and yet we fail to apprehend nor learn the totality, the truth, the reality of those who decide that killing and dying is their only answer to the meaning of life.

  The stumbles and blows with which the absent-alcoholized-anesthetized father drives, make us think that at any moment this…

  Lost Highway 1997

  ★★★★★ Watched by Adrián Gómez 18 Mar 2022 4

  When the highway becomes a Möbius strip/ Cuando la autopista se vuelve una banda de Möbius

  -Of course. As a matter of fact, I'm there right now.
  -What do you mean? You're where right now?
  -At your house.
  -That's fucking crazy, man.

  One of the first things to be done when performing a psychiatric examination is to determine if the patient is oriented in time, space, and person: what day he lives in, where he is and who he is.…

  Up 2009

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by Adrián Gómez 02 Jul 2022

  En Corto/In Summary

  27 times better to see this gem, with its lovely portrayals of old age and childhood innocence, than Disney's fourth attempt to milk Toy Story for all it's worth through Lightyear.

  Squirrel! 🐿

  En Corto/In Summary

  27 veces mejor ver esta maravilla, con sus retratos tan bonitos de la tercera edad y la inocencia infantil, que el cuarto intento de Disney por sacarle jugo a Toy Story a través de Lightyear.

  ¡Ardilla! 🐿

  Spencer 2021

  ★★★★ Rewatched by Adrián Gómez 01 Jul 2022

  En Corto/In Summary

  A fable. We are told this from the beginning. And as such, it is a construction with a moral and clear teachings from the outset. What will that moral be?

  All the tradition, all the luxury, and a position that demands? a way of life. Is it something you can choose with full consciousness at 20? What if at 23 you realize that they only see you as an incubator and a public image? If you want…

  Old 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Adrián Gómez 04 Aug 2021 8

  "Will you still need me, will you still feed me
  When I'm sixty-four"

  I know, I know, the reviews aren't the best in the world, and I see a lot of 1- and 2-star ratings around here. But heck, it's Shyamalan, and apart from The Last Airbender, there isn't a film by him that I haven't enjoyed on some level. Indeed, it's not arthouse cinema, but the fact remains that he's trying to do things differently from the commercial average,…

  Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

  ★★★★ Watched by Adrián Gómez 18 Jun 2022

  Well, for starters, many plus points:

  I love, love, love Michelle Yeoh, all the way back to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and even more for her involvement in Star Trek: Discovery. She is an actress who not only has the body mastery for martial arts cinema, but also the expression and sensitivity for a wide range of roles.

  Parallel universe stories have always delighted me, some very well done and others with severe stumbles. For a great romp in this…
