Forrest Gump
(1994)
|
Rene Jordan
|
Forest Gump is far from being a grand movie. Tom Hanks is very close to being a grand actor. Balance one with the other and go see it, either way. [Full review in Spanish]

Four Weddings and a Funeral
(1994)
|
Rene Jordan

Mike Newell, director of Enchanted April, has made an even more charming movie. Richard Curtis' screenplay shuffles at least 20 characters, all outlined with strict economy. [Full review in Spanish]

The Boys in Company C
(1978)
|
Rene Jordan

Sidney J. Furie has opted for a combination of sentimentalism with cynicism and the elements are like oil and vinegar: never flirting and they drag along the film until an ending taken straight from the finale of M.A.S.H. [Full review in Spanish]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
(1978)
|
Rene Jordan

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a modernized version of the small masterpiece. The 1978 film is enlarged, and a bit inflated... but the theme is so chilling that is remains alive, in a work of allegorical scares. [Full review in Spanish]

Dear Inspector

Who'll Stop the Rain?

The One and Only
