“The Emerald Forest”
The Emerald Forest. United States, 1985 (108 minutes). Directed by John Borman. Cast: Powers Boothe, Charley Boorman, Meg Foster.
Hilarious mix of jungle adventure and comedy that played the prank with its crazy plot. Good work, both by the actors and the director, for a film that, despite a lot of nonsense, is never ridiculed and is therefore above the average for those years.

‘Mars Attacks!’
United States, 1996. Directed by Tim Burton. Cast: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Martin Short.
Tim Burton and screenwriter Jonathan Gems based the plot of this perverted parody on a popular trading card series released in the United States in 1962. From here, the creator of fantasies as commercial as Batman or Edward Scissorhands sets up a sci-fi show full of fantasy and irony, usual keys to his cinema. On this occasion, some aliens trying to destroy the earth will be the protagonists of this unpredictable story in which he caricatures movies like Independence Day. As if the story itself wasn’t interesting, Burton surrounded himself with a dream cast that included the likes of Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Michael J. Fox and even singer Tom Jones. fantasizing.

“The Color of Money”
The color of money. United States, 1986 (116 minutes). Director: Martin Scorsese. Cast: Paul Newman, Tom Cruise.
Martin Scorsese takes the footsteps of Robert Rossen in The Hustler to film this successful generational reflection, supporting much of its quality in brilliant staging and an intelligent screenplay signed by Richard Price. The special feature of this light-flooded film about triumph and failure is undoubtedly once again the veteran Paul Newman, who was awarded a well-deserved Oscar.

‘The dictator’
The dictator. United States, 2012 (83 minutes). Directed by Larry Charles. Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley.
Although he does not reach the heights achieved by the surprising Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen does not give up his always special way of understanding cinema and now aims his arrows against the tyranny in certain Arab countries and the nefarious wealth of their ruling classes. A remarkable satire with enough dark and scatological humor to keep the viewer having a great time in front of the screen.

‘The mask’
The mask. United States, 1994 (97 minutes). Directed by Chuck Russel. Cast: Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz.
One of the few jobs that’s worth it, aside from appearing on Jim Carrey’s The Truman Show. A mask with supernatural powers will keep almost anyone at bay in this cute display of extravagant grimaces.

‘Knock Knock’
Spain, 20170 (96 minutes). Directed by Vicente Villanueva. Actors: Paco León, Rossy de Palma, Alexandra Jiménez, Adrian Lastra.
Vicente Villanueva adapts the successful and entertaining play of the same name by Frenchman Laurent Baffie for the big screen. It does so with a cast with names such as Paco León, Alexandra Jiménez and Adrián Lastra, who give life to six obsessive-compulsive disorder patients who are summoned to the practice of a renowned psychologist on the same day and at the same time. But the psychologist doesn’t come. Based on this idea, the nonsense of insane characters, urges, obsessions and rituals are lined up non-stop. So he builds an erratic (but funny) comedy of manners with a touch of absurd humor.

‘match point’
United States, 2005 (125 minutes). Director: Woody Allen. Cast: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer.
Match Point remains one of the last masterpieces of Woody Allen, who substituted London for Manhattan to make a majestic, unusually bitter film in which he tore Britain’s high society to pieces. Match Point traces the unrelenting portrait of a soulless and aspiring subject through a sophisticated staging that fills every frame with intensity. In addition, he plays with the viewer’s gaze to provoke key sequences into accepting the fate of the sinister protagonist before that of his victims.

Spain, 2013 (95 minutes). Directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera. Cast: Inma Cuesta, Quim Gutiérrez, Paco Leon, Rossy De Palma.
After the blockbuster Spanish Movie and the less fortunate Ghost promotion, filmmaker Javier Ruiz Caldera returns to the fray with a new gangster comedy starring a more than nice Inma Cuesta. Now the actress gives birth to a girl. Because of these things in life and in the movies, she suffers as best she can from the nightmare of being invited to her three ex-boyfriends’ weddings in the same month. Something similar to Renée Zellweger and her Bridget Jones, but always with the pleasant stamp of Spanish comedy.

‘Mad Max, Autobahn Wilde’
Crazy Max. Australia, 1979 (88 minutes). Directed by George Muller. Cast: Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne.
The first and, of course, best of the entertaining saga that made Oscar winner Mel Gibson a world star. A sort of futuristic western that was consolidated in the hands of George Miller as one of the most critically acclaimed films of the late seventies. Violence, sadism and revenge are carefully combined in this vibrant film, full of successful environments and with some truly unrepeatable action scenes. Good.
