La Puerta “The Door”
A song called “La Puerta” by Luis Demetrio interpreted by Armando Garzón y el Quinteto Oriente. This film came to me on a morning from a dear friend who I truly love with all my heart. Below is the note I wrote to the amazing artist who sent me the link to the film. I thank you [...]
Film Noir
Definitely one of my favorite fim genres is Film Noir. It is an incredible study in light, emotions, passion, action and darkness. It makes us feel like we are part of a dream or a nightmare. The characters are raw and real and the situations are impossible. Film Noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe [...]
Full Metal Jacket Hooker Scene
Another memorable cinema moment was the Hooker scene in Stanley Kubrick’s Full metal Jacket. This scene single handily inspired a legion of rap artists and music video directors to create some memorable music and video art as well as one of the most memorable catch phases in history. Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 war film produced, directed and [...]
Edward Norton
Ed Norton is one of those actors that transcends himself in his roles. He is to me an honest, hard working actor who is a student of cinema and his craft. At a very young age he was influenced by good teachers and parents that supported his gifts. To see those gifts as a parent [...]
Ingmar Bergman Week – Fårö, Sweden
Who doesn’t love Ingmar Bergman? He has been one of the greatest Directors, Writers and Producers of all time. This Swedish genius has influenced and inspired nonetheless other famous directors such as Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, and Francis Ford Coppola just to mention a few. I personally always knew him as an amazing and one of [...]
The Hangover 2
Your email: I was a little leery about seeing the hangover two this week, because, we’ll you know how most sequels go. When the Hangover first came out, people were touting it as the funniest movie ever made. Wow, the funniest movie ever made? I wanted to see the Hangover two regardless, and when my [...]
On The Water Front
By far one of, if not my favorite movies of all time. Starring Marlon Brando, waterfront is a gritty film about an ex-fighter turned longshoreman and his struggle between corrupt union bosses and working conditions at New York docks. The screenplay was written by Bud Schulberg, apparently based on a expose series of articles by [...]
X-Men Origins: First Class All The Way!
I got a call from my friends to go see X-Men Origins: First Class this Sunday, and I almost passed. I rushed out at 2:55 to meet them at the Palms Brendan Theater at 3:10, and witnessed a truly great film. I have to give props to the director, Matthew Vaughn on one of the coolest films [...]
John Steinbeck
John Steinbeck. I have always been a great fan of the classic movie, “Grapes of Wrath”, written by John Steinbeck. I never bothered to do much research on the man himself, except for what we were fed in our film study books in school. This night, I had a thought and wondered if there were [...]
