The Revenant

The Revenant

A film that shows how Beauty and Brutality can coexist… Let me begin by just stating that yes I am a cinephile and yes I am an Iñarritu fan boy. Now on the other hand, I am not a DiCaprio fan and, although, I do like the occasional western, I was not a bit interested ..

Crimson Peak

Crimson Peak

A Gothic Romance with a ghost in it. Well let me begin by saying that I am a Guillermo Del Toro fan. Not only of his films (my favorites being The Devils Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth, and his debut Cronos), but also of how creative and beautiful his films are. Attention to detail is paid in ..
