About Me
Strange but kind of interesting guy. Likes movies, TV series, Rock music (from David Bowie to Metallica), dreams (specially the conscious ones), absurd humor, a few books, a few graphic novels, a few videogames, some drinking stuff, some smoking stuff and probably some things he can't manage to remember right now. Oh, and monkeys.

Alex's Recent Reviews

Barcelona (un mapa) Barcelona (un mapa) Unrated 2.5 Stars
Ventura Pons wants to be Bergman but he can't. It's only worth watching it just because of the cast.
MirrorMask MirrorMask PG 4.0 Stars
Great, even if the story is just an excuse to make a movie about a lucid dream.
The Simpsons Movie The Simpsons Movie PG-13 3.0 Stars
Just a long episode, the first half hour is very good but the rest is just fine. And the thing about saving the world is so not original.
The Man from Earth The Man from Earth Unrated 4.0 Stars
How to make a great sci-fi movie without using visual effects.
The Hunting Party The Hunting Party R 3.0 Stars
Should be a comedy all the time.
Gedo senki (Tales from Earthsea) Gedo senki (Tales from Earthsea) Unrated 1.5 Stars
Extremely boring. Takes the worst part of the Earthsea saga and adds some clichés and a pre-90s visual style.
