The Number 23 is a 2007 thriller directed by Joel Schumacher staring Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen. First off, the 2/3 very good reasons (see what I did there?) for which I chose this movie for the cinematographic column of the month are because of Jim Carrey’s role, for a depiction of the consequences of…

A tall tale of winter tail
For the festive season, merry and jolly themed, Forget for now Saint Nick and presents dreamed; Winter’s tale I would suggest for you to view Portraying love, miracles and feelings true. After this cheesy and totally unnecessary introduction (just like Christmas lights at the beginning of November) that I could have just as easily spared…
Young man, old boy
Given that Spooktober just came to an end, let’s follow the thread with a peculiar movie, a sort of neo-noir thriller that for its strangeness will surely not be appreciated by many but is still well worth the curiosity. Old Boy is a South Korean movie directed by Park Chan-wook; it is loosly adapted from…
The chalet in the grove
Back at it again with a not-so-professional movie review; given that Spooktober has already began, I thought it was appropriate to tackle a movie in the horror genre. There is however a small catch: this movie is what I would call a bit of a deconstruction on the overall classic horror. The cabin in the…
Carter (not the coach)
Back for another not-so-professional movie ‘review’ – and given that a couple of months ago I had stated that it would prove interesting to keep an eye on Korean cinema, now it is an appropriate time to write this article. That being said, Carter is a 2022 Korean action movie directed by Jung Byung-gil staring…
The Saints of the docks of Boon
This article is not quite what I would call professional, in fact it is quite the opposite. Apart from my biased opinion, it will contain also contain several swear words because the movie that I will be talking about is just that fucking good. Reader discretion is advised. Boondock Saints is a 1999 gung-ho action…
MineSweepers in Space
Space sweepers is a 2021 Korean science-fiction action movie that I would say is well worth the watch. Given that there are several things I want to discuss in this article, I will quite surly make several spoilers, so be fairly warned. First thing’s first, in my opinion Korean movies should be given closer attention…
A beautiful movie of the mind
A beautiful mind is a 2001 biographical drama starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. The movie is about John Nash’s life and his fight with schizophrenia; although several facts might have been exaggerated or invented, it is however true that the mathematician had mental problems and the movie tackles them brilliantly. Russell Crowe’s rendition of…
The Reynolds Project-s
Ok, so this is just going to be one of those articles that is not very structured or informed; for that matter it will also be opinionated. Although it is for the movie of the month column, it will focus on other things (at least that part is common by this point). First of all,…
A Harry-Sally situation
Given that last time I spoke about paths crossing and intertwining, I thought to continue with the same theme for this month’s movie. When Harry met Sally is a 1989 movie starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. The plot is about a chance encounter, a story of two lives interlacing and eventually sharing the same…
