The improbability of a scifi black hole
9 August 2023
The concept of "not being able to not sing", a dreadful double negative, is so improbable that it swallows any and all brilliance from the cast to a point that, credit is due, I dare to describe as the birth of a Sci-Fi blackhole.

It was not enough to bring the Lower Decks cartoon cast to life, now they did a musical... what is next?

A zombie episode?

Star Trek meets Star Wars?

Dr. Emmet "Doc" Brown -Back to the Future- meets Pike?

The Time Tunnel travelers land on the Enterprise's bridge?

One thing we must admire: how the authors won the battle against falling in the depths of good Sci-Fi. They killed it. We can only hope there is no "encore".

Gene Roddenberry's ghost, please come and haunt the writers?

An out of the ordinary weekend in the life of an Argentine family
10 March 2012
Esperando la Carroza (Waiting for the hearse) was voted the best Argentine comedy ever. Well deserved title. The pace is unrelenting and the characters are spot on. This comedy of errors is so well played by artists at the top of their careers that you cannot stop laughing from start to finish. Antonio Gasalla (Mamá Cora) took his character out of the movie and gave it a life of its own on Argentine TV. China Zorrilla and Antonio Gasalla, with due respect to all the other players, make the movie turn around them. This movie reached its 25th anniversary and will reach the 30th with the same vitality, for people born and raised in Buenos Aires: seems like this movie could have been shot yesterday May 9, 2012 - is timeless, is funny, is "a feel good" movie. If you want to know what means living a weekend with everyday people in an everyday neighborhood in Buenos Aires you cannot miss this movie. If you can, listen to the Spanish dialog with an Argentine friend or relative: the subtleties are priceless.
