Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

2023

★★★ Watched

Animated movie with origin story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Animation work is frentic and innovative character design must be praised. The first half hour is very promising, with both cute and dark humour moments. Unfortunately, from the establishsment of the partnership of the foursome with April O'Neil on, the movie worsens a lot. Until the end there is a lot of silliness, terrible dialogues, and some pretty stupid ideas such as the way they adopted their names (with no relation to the Renaissance artists!). I began with good expectations but it turned out to be a serious disappointment.

Mighty Mouse in the Great Space Chase

1982

★★★★ Watched

Charming and funny Filmation animated feature film where the most powerful mouse in the universe has a great space adventure in order to avoid the feline triumph of evil. Lovely and actually amusing. If there were a ranking of scientifically absurd sci-fi films, it would be a serious contender for reaching the top place, what is also funny.

Before Night Falls

2000

★★★ Watched

This could have been great, as it is technically a good achievement, but it is a dishonest piece of propaganda. It is a cowardice to use LGBT struggle and suffering as a tool for capitalist propaganda. Cuban regime did criminalised homossexuals (what has changed only more recently) and it is fair and necessary to say that in cinema. However, it is unbelievable that a Hollywood film uses it to establish a fallacious relation between homophobia and socialism, and to delegitimize…

Cassiopeia

1996

★★★½ Rewatched

Neither the most compelling sci-fi story, nor visually impressive in its 3D images, but extremely important for the history of cinema: the first full-made CGI film is Brazilian! Excellent Toy Story was finished before it was planned just not to be released after Cassiopeia. Anyway, Pixar used physical models for the toys, while all robots in Cassiopeia have been fully designed in computers... with a small budget! Watch it here: youtu.be/8azqJrOJvj8
