The Mosquito Net

Emma Suarez
Far darker but no less witty or insightful than Agustí Vila’s earlier ‘A Bench in the Park’, this caustic account of family life begins brilliantly with a couple returning home to find that their overly sensitive teenage son has added yet another stray dog (or dogs?) to the pack of mutts [...]

The Day I Was Not Born

“Das Lied in mir” (German title) is a pretty good movie. It features good actors in Jessica Schwarz and Rafael Ferro and a fitting (i.e reduced) cinematography to give the actors more room to develop their characters.
Let’s have a look at the plot: German citizen Maria is quite [...]

It’s early days, but this series (which the ABC seems to have made a lengthy commitment to) has started fairly well. Whether you enjoy it or not will probably depend on how interesting you find competitive, habitually successful young people who approach almost everything in terms of words and arguments.

I actually really really loved the concept of this show and am a huge fan of Poppy — she is perfect for the part. I like how she has this out of body experience (which it really isn’t). It just shows you how she puts her theory together by using her fantastic flawless [...]

Il Grande Sogno
[1 clip]
Jasmine Trinca
Michele Placido has been an constant figure in the Italian cinema for decades now. He directed one of my favorite Italian films of the 90’s “Un Eroe Borghese” and starred in some glorious Italian titles of the last 30 years but he himself has gone the road of so many others, [...]

I rarely review TV series as they are so changeable from one episode to the next. However, sometimes I can see some promise that bears mentioning. This series is derived from a successful series in the UK of the same name, starring no less than Helen Mirren. This US version is set [...]
