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]

(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]

Blue Collar

Blue Collar is the American Dream converted into a nightmare, or a drama about a man consumed by a society of consumerism. Who would want to voluntarily submit themselves to this torture? [Full review in Spanish]

It is an ingenuity that could have been repulsively silly, but the card is signed with a firm hand, and winged rubric by the notable Czech, exiled director, Milos Foreman. [Full review in Spanish]

High Anxiety

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?
(1978)

Who'll Stop the Rain is a film that is repugnant and excellent at the same time. It's the classic dichotomy of depth versus form, or vice versa. [Full review in Spanish]

F.I.S.T.

The American Friend

The One and Only
