‘The Emerald Forest’
The emerald forest. United States, 1985 (108 minutes). Director: John Borman. Cast: Powers Boothe, Charley Boorman, Meg Foster.
Hilarious mixture of jungle adventure and comedy that played the trick of its crazy plot. Good work, both by the actors and the director, for a film that despite its many nonsense never falls into ridicule, which places it above the usual average for those years.

Delirious.

‘The color of money’
The color of money. United States, 1986 (116 minutes). Director: Martin Scorsese. Cast: Paul Newman, Tom Cruise.
Martin Scorsese takes up the steps taken by Robert Rossen in the hustler to shoot this successful generational reflection, which supports a large part of its quality in a brilliant staging and an intelligent script, signed by Richard Price. But, without a doubt, the point of distinction of this lucid film about triumph and failure is once again set by the veteran Paul Newman, awarded with a well-deserved Oscar.

‘The dictator’
The Dictator. United States, 2012 (83 minutes). Director: Larry Charles. Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley.
Although it does not reach the heights you reach for the surprising Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen does not abandon his always particular way of understanding cinema and now puts his darts at the tyranny in certain Arab countries and the shameful wealth of their ruling classes. A remarkable satire loaded with enough doses of black and scatological humor for the viewer to have a great time in front of the screen.

‘The mask’

One of the few jobs, apart from his performance on Jim Carrey’s The Truman Show, that are worth it. A mask with supernatural powers will put almost everyone in check in this cute display of extravagant grimaces.

Vicente Villanueva adapts to the big screen the successful and entertaining play of the same name by Frenchman Laurent Baffie.

‘Match Point’
United States, 2005 (125 minutes). Director: Woody Allen. Cast: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer.
Match Point It remains one of the last masterpieces by Woody Allen, who substituted London for Manhattan to shoot a majestic film, unusually bitter, in which he tore British high society to shreds. Match Point traces the relentless portrait of a careerist and soulless subject through a highly refined staging that fills all frames with intensity. In addition, she plays with the viewer’s gaze to cause them, in key sequences, to embrace the fate of the sinister protagonist rather than that of his victims.

‘Mad Max, highway savages’
Mad Max. Australia, 1979 (88 minutes). Director: George Miller. Cast: Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne.
The first and, of course, the best of the entertaining saga that launched to world stardom after oscared Mel Gibson. Kind of western futuristic that in the hands of George Miller was consolidated as one of the most praised 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.
