"Puerto Rico es todo campo" Está oración ejemplifica la tesis central del filme de JuanMa Pagán Teitelbaum titulado Serán Las Dueñas De La Tierra. Mucho de este documental, que cuenta la historia de tres agricultores ecológicos puertorriqueños: Stephanie, Ian y Alfredo, postula la realidad cruda de nuestra isla, que casi todo lo que se consume viene importado del extranjero. Como resultado, la pieza argumenta este hecho, que nuestros campos están ricos en nutrientes, suelo y trabajadores preparados para cultivar alimentos para el pueblo entero. JuanMa construye un documental con un sentido de urgencia e importancia ya que este postula el estado de la agricultura en nuestro país. Esto hace que la audiencia crea introspección de cómo no hemos hecho nuestra parte en apoyar los cultivos de nuestra tierra. La narrativa está entrelazada entre estos tres sujetos y sus diferentes luchas. Se demuestra la adversidad que ellos atraviesan tratando de echar su siembra hacia el mundo sin tener finca propia y tener que lidiar con la constante burocracia y falta de recursos. Se demuestra la enseñanza a la próxima generación, trata de deconstruir y descolonizar esta noción de comprar productos del exterior y no de nosotros y trata de superar la adversidad monetaria y gubernamental. La película está rica en diseño sonoro y decisiones fílmicas excelentes. Envés de tener los típicos "talking heads" tenemos muchos más momentos silentes, solo dejándonos llevar de escenas reflexivas para poder comprender el contexto habitual de nuestros sujetos. Esto logra un nivel de naturalismo y autenticidad para proyectar el mensaje que el autor quiere transmitir. La música original compuesta por Eduardo Alegría eleva la pieza, dando este sentido de precisión y complejidad a los visuales y la narrativa sobre la situación actual de Puerto Rico. Es un filme vital que todo boricua de la isla debería ver, analizar y aplicar lo que aprende de ella. Será una película

𝙴𝚕 𝙺𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚘𝚔𝚎 es la nueva película del director puertoriqueño Transfor Ortiz, en la cual él decide aventurarse en el género de horror y traernos una propuesta un poco más diferente de lo que nos suele traer a la pantalla grande. Con un presupuesto y un concepto simple y minimalista, Transfor usa los espacios disponibles a su favor para crear algo más crudo, imperfecto y visceral. La película emula el torture porn à la Saw pero con un torno a lo jocoso y absurdista, pero está consciente del tono que quiere traer a la audiencia.
Las escenas de tortura son fuertes y impresionantes a lo largo de la historia. El uso de prosteticos es efectivo para vender las partes más impactantes de tortura que sucede en pantalla.
La selección de canciones traerá un elemento nostálgico a la música de la isla, y habrá instancias en que la audiencia cantará las canciones en la sala como si fuese un sing-a-long. El toque cómico de él filme funciona en dos niveles, uno a nivel de la historia y el tono que se ve presente a través de la narrativa y el otro nivel es uno meta-textual que añadirá un nivel adicional al que se percate del chiste.
Vayan a ver esta nueva propuesta puertorriqueña en el cine de Caribbean Cinemas Puerto Rico cuando tengan la oportunidad. Se estrena el 19 de mayo en todas las salas de la isla.
NEW DELETED SCENE FROM THE BATMAN HAS LEAKED. 🦇

A film that explores what happens when we repress our deepest desires, and how far we will go to unleash them. It's clear it's homages and inspirations from the first act. It was a weird expirience watching the film however, since I always questioned intent in the scene presented to me. Was this supposed to make me laugh? Was this supposed to be terrifying? Does it even matter the intent if I got what the overarching message was?
Ti West is a director I admire since he came from the mumblecore and mumblegore movement in the early 2010s. And I appreciate his hand in crafting weird horror flicks since then. There's elements that feel under baked however, and the third act seems to come out of nowhere, but the ideas presented of agesim, of religious repression, of sexual liberation, of desire and destruction of harmful stereotypes are present in the film. I just wonder if this was the best way to approach all these ideas.
I think people who really enjoy this genre will get a phenomenal experience from it. I do admit my curiosity is amplified even further when I heard the news that Ti West already shot a secret prequel to the film. He's always embracing that guerilla mumblegore approach, and just because of that, I implore anyone who was interested in checking it out to go see this film and give it support.

It truly feels like you're going back to your home town and reuniting with your high school buddies for one last hang out before you gotta go back to your normal life.
And even if it's not quite the same, you still reminisce about the good old times and try your best to replicate that feeling. It's a beautiful reunion, everything might not be like it once was, but there's still something special about that reunion you have with your friends. Jackass Forever evokes all these feelings and more.
It feels like a culmination of a bygone era of doing home video pranks, which eventually evolved into YouTube skits and so on, but there's something endearing about seeing the old crew come back for one last hurrah. It's bittersweet, it's nostalgic, it's magical, it's hilarious and a treat to watch.
It serves the audience throwbacks to classic pranks while serving new ones into the mix, creating a satisfying conclusion to a series of films that, for me atleast, always made me laugh and holler like crazy.
If you ever enjoyed watching the Jackass crew growing up, go see this one in the big screen. You won't be disappointed at all.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑲𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝑻𝒘𝒐 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔 feels like quintessential homework for any up and coming filmmaker on a tight budget, because it truly shows you how much you can do with a small budget. Meticulous performances, pristine framing, amazing tension all coalesce to bring a powerful and yet subdued feature film.
Clayne Crawford gives a powerful, quiet and subdued performance that makes you feel empathetic to his struggle to maintain his family.
It's never extravagant, instead choosing to deal with the core conflict in a more emotional driven way than a violent or savage route. It's quiet, tragic, painful and ultimately relatable.
It encompasses a unique soundtrack to drive the tension during the whole narrative, always making you second guess if the film and its characters are slowly delving into the deep end.
Art has no bounds and this piece shows us everything can be completely possible if you have something truly worth telling.

The latest #Almodovar film fails exponentially at trying to tie the pain of mothers in different facets of their lives, from childbirth to the rupture of families. Two stories try to battle for the soul of this narrative, and sadly the boring one prevailed.
#PedroAlmodovar constructs a well shot and decently acted piece, but at the cost of providing a compelling and emotionally driven odyssey of the struggle of the matriarch in Franco's time and contemporary Spain. The thesis of the generational trauma is completely anemic.
#PenelopeCruz gives a great performance even if the script is undercooked and heavily reliant on expository dialogue. The cinematography is on par with Almodovar's previous work. The score is pretty powerful and apt for the scenes it is utilized in.
It really boils down to the fact that the director has a very interesting concept in bridging this tramiatic event in history with the traumatic event of a mother with their child but it felt like mixing oil and water... It just did not gel well together.
#ParallelMothers will be released on Caribbean Cinemas - Fine Arts Café on December 16.
At this point it is unarguable that Steven Spielberg is a true master at his craft and any movie he crafts will be a technical achievement. The lighting, composition, costume and production design, sound design and editing will be meticulously constructed. So it will always come down to his ability to fully convey the story he's telling. With that being said, I didn't fully get emotionally invested with this narrative.
However there are things I liked. The choreography is phenomenally constructed and executed. Ariana DeBose, Mike Faist and even David Álvarez completely steal the show. I was invested in Anita and Bernando's conflict of what it's like to be a Puertorican living in New York dealing with the racism, economical struggles and slowly shifting gentrification that threatens to destroy the neighborhood they hold dear. The last theme is established early and thoroughly forgetten as the film continues on, deciding to instead focus on Maria and Tony's story of love and death. Which I completely understand, when dealing with a remake or re-imagening it's really hard to play with the formula that worked so successfully the first time, so Spielberg decided to stick mostly to the original classic, which ultimately I suppose was the best route to take.
It does feel like a wasted opportunity since he was given the chance to adjust, modernize or even play more with this narrative to say something deeper with these characters, but alas, that's not the film presented here and I comprehend why.
As it stands the movie decides to plays it safe, only adjusting the obvious things (blackface, horrific lyrics, the inclusion of a Puertorican song, etc.) in order to pass the basic test of what's required for a modern re-interpretation of a timeless classic.
There are elements to critique however, since half the time it felt like lip service since it didn't adress the themes that linger in the corners of the story.

"Its A Hell Of A Thing, Killing A Man. You Take Away Everything He's Got And Everything He's Ever Gonna Have."
Made in 1992 as an homage to Sergio Leone and the silent anti heroes of his films, this film has stood the test of time. Endlessly copied, this is the true American Western.
Legend has it, it was the 1980s, and this script came across Clint Eastwood’s desk. Knowing that it was a truly genius piece of fiction, he tabled it. He knew he wasn’t old enough to play main character, William Munny. A decade goes by, and he finally makes it. Winning himself some Oscars.
What is morality? How do we each play into these invisible rules? Why is society obsessed with killers? These are questions this excellent script is concerned with. We meet characters who we’re told are the hardest, damnedest sons of bitches this side of Colorado, only to learn they’re either cowards, or they no longer have it within them to kill. It’s a fascinating revisionist look at the genre of the western. It peels back the black and white morality of so many of the American westerns of old, brandishing it to the audience as if to say “you see how unrealistic this is?”. There’s no place for black and white morality in real life. There is only grey.
The menagerie of characters this script has is an embarrassment of riches. A Sheriff who’s hellbent on PEACE, and will do ANYTHING to keep it. An Englishman known for his quick draw. A young gunslinger itching to prove his worth to others…and himself. Two ex gunslingers who’ve turned away from their bloody and violent past. A novelist traveling across the west, writing what he sees, interviewing everyone. The film peppers these archetypes with themes and metaphors. The novelist is us. Only caring to hear about the bloody violence. The Sheriff builds his house, only for it to be crooked. An apt metaphor.
There is so much more to this movie, but Instagram has a character count. So I’ll leave you

It truly feels like a personal film for its director, Kenneth Branagh, from the nostalgic perception of films and TV shows, to the use of Van Morrison constantly in the film and the usage of Belfast itself as a secondary character. The film starts very strongly, setting the stakes and the thematical problem the characters will have to face and how this will dictate the decisions they decide to make for the remainder of the movie. But as the film goes on it becomes very muddy what the ultimate intent Branagh wishes to convey with the characters in Belfast. Is it the yearn for something better, is it to preserve their homes and their heritage, is it to find some common ground? It's never fully addressed, it's always lingering in the back alleys of Belfast, and the audience is left to wonder what does it even mean in the grand scheme of things.
Kenneth Branagh feels like he's trying to do something different than his previous work, he's attempting a new visual language and a nonidentical style that audiences will have to judge how effective, on an emotional level, it truly is. But sadly when it is time to address or atleast deepen the themes explored here, Branagh never fully commits to it, leaving me as an audience member wondering why.
Maybe he got too swept up with the nostalgia to ever truly address the horrible events that transpire on Belfast, or maybe it was never the point to showcase these events, but rather leave them in the backdrop. But as it stands I feel like it was a missed opportunity.

Some films are meant to be take as what they are, and expirienced as such, yet in some unique circumstances other films are to be taken as more of an expirience. I believe the movie 🇹 🇮 🇹 🇦 🇳 🇪 directed by the fearless Julia Ducournau falls under the latter.
This piece of art touches on a huge arrange of themes ranging from masculinity, family, love, loss, mental health, life, death, old age, queerness and so on. All these topics are dealt with a nuanced approach, utilizing beautiful thought provoking imagery to get its purpose across.
The subtext is brilliantly laid out, the plot construction seems confusing at first but it almost seems brave how the director decides to play with the 3 act structure and the audience's expectations of how narratives usually flow.
The dual protagonists of this tale are perfectly portrayed, and they are clever avatars for the themes explored in this film, all culminating in a beautiful cathartic climax that will make you sit there in awe over what you've just expirienced.
Everything on a technical level is conveyed expertly by the artists behind the camera. A lot of subtlety and visual play is perfectly utilized so the audience has to think about what it all means and how it all fits.
It's a unique experience that will linger long after you've seen it.

There are moments where you're watching a film that you'll feel in your bones that it's destined to become a classic, and I truly feel 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒔 directed by Stephen Karam will become a true contemporary Americana classic.
Everything works beautifully in sync, from the sound design, to the cinematography, to the atmosphere, to the editing, the production design and the phenomenal acting and script. It's impeccably constructed, every single decision made in this film is the correct one. This whole piece is crafted with purpose, every single camera movement has a point, and it's not afraid to experiment with any technical element. Shots are meticulously composed by frames within frames, playing with your anxieties and your own family dynamics and how dysfunctional they can become.
It's tragic, somber, quiet, depressing, slightly hopeful, raw and real. The use of space is captivating, creepy and horryfing. You hear every nook and cranny, every single creak, every whisper and every shouting match.
Themes of despair, connections, economical woes, mental health, anxiety, PTSD, the past, your future, and ofcourse fear and hope, all permeate in this complex narrative. It's a powerful movie, one that has a lot to say about family, our relationships with our loved ones and our own experiences and how that dictates the decisions we make in our own collective lives.
It is truly an experience.
