How to stop loving someone who doesn't value me?
Love arrives suddenly, for greater or worse. It is unconcerned with reasonable assessments of what is best for us from a pragmatic standpoint. It just appears as a wave of feelings when we fall in love and affects our way of perceiving life in a matter of days or weeks.

300 Rise of an Empire Review
Sparta was not governed by a single king but was a strange case of a two- headed monarchy in which Leonidas was in charge of the military and where some ephors (chosen by the gerousia of thirty elders) controlled the sovereigns. The ephors of 300 are shown as a group of inbred and corrupted carcamals, who allow themselves to be bribed by the Persian ambassador to manipulate the prophecies of the Pythia and prohibit the call to arms with the excuse of the celebration of the Carneas , a festival of purification during which everything was paralyzed and that had already prevented the Spartan troops from reaching the battle of Marathon on time.

The Sea Beast Review
Maisie Brumble, the feisty protagonist of Sea Beast , is a little girl with a gigantic personality and off-the-wall sass. At the beginning of the story, she is determined to claim her place in the monster-hunting tradition of her seafaring country; by the time she finishes, she has turned that tradition on its head, in ways that are not only incisive and profound, but deeply moving. Chris Williams, whose directorial credits include Big Hero 6 and Vaiana, has made a fantastic-looking and moving film, one whose emotional undercurrents are made all the more potent by being downplayed amidst the stunts.

300 Movie Review
Comic fans, at least those of us who don't limit our tastes to the ubiquitous and absorbing manga, enjoyed in 1998 a new delight from Frank Miller, an exceptional cartoonist and screenwriter who had already captivated us with his Sin City series. On this occasion, he changed the appropriate black and white of the detective genre for color, just as he passed from that indeterminate modern era to antiquity, to illuminate one of the legendary stories of Classical Greece in 300. An exceptional graphic novel that, like what happened to the other, also subjugated the world of the seventh art and was adapted by director Zack Snyder, who had become a revelation with his first film, Dawn of the dead.

Gray Man Review
As we'll see in this review, The Gray Man has what it takes to become another big hit on Netflix. It has a luxury cast, a budget of more than 200 million dollars, a huge advertising campaign and behind the scenes it has Joe and Anthony Russo. They are the brothers responsible for some of the biggest hits in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I Am Not Your Negro Review
The first thing to do before watching the brave documentary film I'm Not Your Black is to ask yourself a question: why does a film like this still exist on the billboard today? One would like to think that in 2017 it would not really be necessary to review the problems that plagued humanity fifty, one hundred, two hundred years ago . Except for those that are related to indefensible concepts and that many of us considered –or wanted to consider– anachronistic, such as intolerance, racism, discrimination. But then comes Raoul Peck , a Haitian man, black, political scientist and sympathizer of the left to stamp a cake of reality on our faces and rip us out of our ridiculous intellectual onanism.

Smile of the Queen
The big smile that he wore on his face since his arrival at the place foreshadowed that it was not just any night for Elizabeth II. Appointment where the Queen seemed to feel especially comfortable and happy , something that she transmitted in every moment of her evening. Galloping Through History , as the unique spectacle held on the grounds of Windsor was called, delighted both the monarch and the constellation of starsthat they had gathered there. There was everything, from the most moving and emotional to the most joyous and fun. An outdoor theatrical and circus show with the sovereign as the main guest, in a year where her celebrations continue to commemorate her 70 years on her throne. The moment that provoked the most tender and nostalgic glances came almost at the end, when Lady Louise appeared dressed as an Amazon on the sand mounted on her grandfather's carriage, which she herself was driving, at the head of a procession of royal horses and ponies. .

The Mask Of Zorro Review
When, in 1919, Johnston McCulley wrote the story ' The Curse of Capistrano ' for the second issue of ' All-Story Weekly ' magazine, most likely, he was not capable of imagining that Zorro , the protagonist of said story, would reach a transcendence so great that, to this day, it is still as valid as it was ninety-eight years ago, thanks to various media such as the aforementioned literature, theater, comics, television and cinema.

Dune Review
Denis Villeneuve's Dune has all the makings of a movie that can break the box office, please critics, and spawn an outrageous legion of fans that spread to every corner of the internet. But it is Denis Villeneuve himself who puts a brake on the show, to treat Frank Herbert's work with extreme care. Villeneuve steers clear of unbridled action and the creation of space heroes, opting instead to narrate the genesis of a saga as ambitious as the vast number of works he has inspired since the 1960s.

Braveheart Review
In the curriculum of more or less recent historical cinema one will hardly find such an accumulation of clichés and lies as in Braveheart . Of course, its director and protagonist care little because it is the film that gave him fame, money and even several Oscars, thus opening the way for him to shoot other films of a certain stature, as successful as they are controversial. If we start to enumerate, the popular story that Mel Gibson offered us about the life of William Wallace is so false that the Scots should have screamed in heaven. They didn't because, after all, Braveheart he injected them with a dose of self-esteem and pride; in fact, the iconography captured on celluloid by the Australian filmmaker has settled into national imagery and, if one visits the country, everywhere we see the kilt , the stud and the faces painted blue, although all this is a manipulation .
