Hello everyone, what I write about most is cinema. This is my passion, since cinema is the art of making an instant infinite, and it seems to me a way to learn and enter new worlds and stories.

Recommendations that never fail
This is the first film I'm recommending from this series. Fractured is a psychological thriller from Netflix, released in 2019 and directed by Brad Anderson, the same director as The Machinist. That fact alone already hints at what awaits us: constant tension, an oppressive atmosphere, and a story designed to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat.

MONSTER: The Faces of Evil on Netflix
Personally, this series is my favorite of the entire anthology, mainly because of the suspense it leaves me with. This story, based on true events, tells the tale of two brothers who, on August 20, 1989, murdered their parents in cold blood. But this is where the whole country is divided. According to them, their father sexually and psychologically abused them both, but if that weren't true, they did it only for money.

MONSTER: The Faces of Evil on Netflix
I'd never been interested in watching this type of series, and I think that was largely due to my lack of knowledge about the context surrounding them. However, when I first saw it, I remember being completely captivated from the very first episodes. It wasn't just the story that grabbed me, but the way it was told. I was impressed by how they managed to recreate the life of this psychopath without resorting to cheap sensationalism, building a disturbing and profoundly human relationship.

Scarface review
*Scarface* is a 1983 film directed by Brian De Palma and starring Al Pacino. Without exaggeration, it's definitely one of my favorite gangster films. Since its release, it has become an absolute classic of crime cinema, not only for its iconic scenes but also for everything it represents thematically and culturally.

IT (2017): an adaptation that mixes trauma, nostalgia and pure terror
"It" is a 2017 film directed by Andrés Muschietti. In short, it's about a clown who returns to a town every 27 years to cause chaos and kidnap children. Personally, I love "It"; it's one of those movies I can watch over and over without getting bored. I don't know why, but it never gets old.

My top 5 best animated series for adults
Animated series for adults are the kind of productions that can tackle any subject without censorship: political, vulgar, philosophical, or existential. And while some are pure comedy, many conceal social commentary or profound messages.

review of Shutter Island
Personally, Shutter Island is one of my favorite movies. In short, it's about a U.S. Marshal who takes on a case at a mental hospital housing the most dangerous criminals with mental illnesses. The problem is that the hospital is on a remote island, and little by little, the marshal becomes entangled in situations that make him question even his own existence.

Review of Miraculous: The Adventures of Ladybug and Cat noir
This is a 2015 series with seven seasons that has a very interesting plot. In short, two teenagers are chosen to be superheroes in Paris. The thing is, the girl likes the boy when he's not a superhero, and the boy likes the girl when he is. Honestly, it's a good and very entertaining story.
