Elysium (2013) Review

Written, co-produced and directed by Neill Blomkamp, Elysium means a place or condition of ideal happiness. The movie happens in 2154 but it is an obvious metaphor for life on Earth nowadays. It is so obvious that when the director was asked about his science fiction, he answered “No, no, no. This isn’t science fiction. This is today. […]

Linha de Passe, the Movie (2008)

Worth watching if you appreciate Brazilian movies… or if you wanna know about Brazil. Sandra Corveloni won the Cannes award for best actress. “One is a little kid obsessed […]
