    The Celluloid Closet

    ★★★★★

    A detailed account of how homosexuality was presented by the anglophone cinema during the first century of its existence (1895-circa mid 90's).

    Fascinating documentary (based on the homonymous book by Vito Russo) that quickly transcends the limits of its genre and becomes a valentine to the art of film-making, as well as a look at the changing attitudes of the general public towards gays.

    The movie is full of interesting anecdotes and amusing interviews that make us look with new…

    Avengers: Infinity War

    ★★★★★

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

In this environment, a brilliant but alcoholic surgeon flirts with a newly-arrived nurse.

    While this is one of Bogie's most obscure efforts, "Battle Circus" is nevertheless a surprisingly entertaining and influential flick upon which years later Robert Atlman obviously based "MASH". This is the…

    Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

    ★★

    Amateur archaeologist and adventurer Lara Croft gets inadvertently involved in the search of the shadowy Illuminati for the mythical Triangle of Light, an ancient artifact that gives its owner the power to control time.

    Having never played the game upon which "Lara Croft" is based I cannot attest to its faithfulness to the original material. What I can say though is that it looks and feels like a poor man's Indiana Jones, with a little James Bond thrown into the…

    If you ever meet someone who says his heart didn't jump out of his chest during the blood test scene, he is a liar.
