El Señor de los Cielos (2013– )

Revolting neanderthal Aurelio

[3/10 · 30 November 2023]

What could've been a great series got bogged down with way too many sex scenes( all modestly done with clothes on) Aurelio comes back from the dead with double his weight and looking like the missing link. Is everyone a total alcoholic in this? I mean far too much tequila as if thats what mexico is all about. Not.

So many gaps in reality. Carla doesnt look at photos to find the intruder trying to kill Corina,, Corina doesnt say who shot her when fully conscious,,no photos exist of evil Tracy?? I mean, what??

Whats totally absurd is everyone is a good shot yet the bad guys only get shot in the arm,, or grazed... Cabo has aurelio 5 feet in front of him , bullets fly bot faster than a speeding bullet he jumps over the bar and runs off,,what?? This happens several times with Cabo. As well with others who may have four guys shooting at them from close up yet NO hits... ok its al tele drama but at least have some reality.... some great acting,, no idea how they can film 80-90 episodes ,,but as seasons go on not much really happens,.,. Lots of tequila, close up romance, and with the miraculous return of El Señor, more of his revolting closeups, constantly cheating on his beloved.

Nostalgia (I) (2018)

Something You Have to Live

[9/10 · 18 July 2018]

After clearing out deceased parents' home with brother and sister and experiencing the nostalgia associated with objects, to experiencing younger generational grief,, Thought this film really hit the nail on the head. it was acted superbly and the many moments with sister and brother, grieving parents, death expectant elder man, and especially the contained and deep emotion of the insurance agent, made this a very quality film. for some reason we have become hardened and inexperienced in sharing intense moments of life openly and a lot of the reviews of this film are so superficial to the point of tragic. Good one to see.
