Jurassic Park (1993)
Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: An exceptional blockbuster, full of interesting ideas about the dangers of control and unbridled scientific progress, and packed with incredible action and suspense sequences.
Quadrophenia (1979)
- Excerpt: Phil Daniels delivers a knockout performance that embodies Jimmy’s frustration but also leaves room for his complexity (one interpretation of this film has him suffering from mental illness) while firmly situating him within his own time and class.
Wings of the Abyss (2021)
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Granted, the film’s low budget (self-produced by Kobayashi) is evident, particularly in the image quality, which falls short of current Japanese cinema standards. Apart from this, however, “Wings of the Abyss” emerges as a gem of a film, with its combination of comments regarding the corporate world, the concept of skateboards in Japan and the action scenes resulting in a truly impressive amalgam that retains interest from beginning to end. Add to this the energy and speed the movie emits after a point, and you have a truly entertaining spectacle.
