by Daniel Franco Haven't you seen the Star Wars Saga yet? You still want to despite all this news avanlanche? But you don´t know where to start? Okay, newbie, this guide is for you. Consider it a kind of “Star Wars for Dummies” if you like. by Daniel Franco This year is about to end, and movie-wise, it has been a very interesting one; albeit not as good as we expected it to be. There have been a number of big titles but very few delivered (Iron Man 3, Star Trek: Into Darkness, Man of Steel, The Wolverine, Fast 6, The Hangover 3, Monsters University, After Earth, Prisioners, Gravity.) Don’t get me wrong, some of them have been good but not great. Others, simply disappointing. by Daniel Franco Every once in a while, there are those little moments when one looks into himself and realises things, values stuff and appreciates details. Yesterday, for a few seconds, I reminded myself why I love films. Like any given Sunday, I found myself in a movie theatre to enjoy a movie. On this occasion, it was Gravity. Alfonso Cuarón´s film is so difficult to describe in words; a mandatory watch in 3D and IMAX. A visually astonishing film that creates emotions and rises blood pressure. An incredible journey. But it wasn´t Gravity the responsible of my little inner trip. The event occurred minutes before, with the previous movie trailers. by Daniel Franco One of the most recent and popular debates movie-wise has come to an end. Star Wars Episode VII finally has a release date: December 18th, 2015. We leave behind months of speculation, with most people betting on May 25th, International Star Wars Day, or May 4th, or any other day in May, which is, and always has been the month for Star Wars. |
