Mirtha LegrandSo there’s this lady known as Mirtha Legrand; no, that isn’t her real name, but rather her stage name.
ChespiritoLet’s go from Argentina to Mexico this time. That’s 7'500 Km from Buenos Aires to Ciudad de México, a very long distance that shows the massive size of the Spanish Empire five centuries ago (let’s not forget that California and Patagonia were also parts of said empire).
Shows and Movies of 2025I have published the list of shows and movies I watched or re-watched in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Here is the list of 2025. I do not recommend them all; some of it was great, some was utterly forgettable.
ArturitoI watched the first Star Wars film (aka “Episode 4”) on the big screen of a crappy cinema of Buenos Aires somewhere in 1978 or 1979 (I was 5 or 6 years old).
The True Episode 7Next December it’ll be 10 years since the release of what is in my opinion the biggest train wreck in the history of movie sequels; certainly a blockbuster worth literal billions of dollars, but in my heart and in my mind, it’s just a failed attempt that needn’t be.
ElizabethtownThe movie “Elizabethtown” is 20 years old this year, and I re-re-re-watched it again recently; it’s not a particularly popular movie, but it’s one of those that I can’t watch without having it leave a deep crater in my heart every time… It’s hard to describe.
El EternautaSo, the first season is out, and I can heartily recommend it. The reviews are terrific; in my opinion, the first 2 or 3 episodes are a bit slow, but the 4th to 6th are such a blast… I couldn’t blink for a sec.
Shows and Movies of 2024I have published the list of shows and movies I watched or re-watched in 2022 and 2023. Here is the list of 2024. I do not recommend them all; some of it was great, some was utterly forgettable.
Movies About Patagonia and a PictureI’ve written in the past about my recommendations for visiting Buenos Aires, and about my experience in Patagonia. Here go some movies to complement both explorations of the southernmost region of the Argentine countryside.
Shows and Movies of 2023Last year I published the list of shows and movies I watched or re-watched in 2022. Here is the list of 2023. I do not recommend them all; some of it was great, some was utterly forgettable.
El Imperio ContraatacaOn the early afternoon of Saturday, January 3rd, 1981, my mother took the 7-year old me to the “Atlas Belgrano” cinema in Buenos Aires (near the corner of Cabildo Avenue and Juramento street) to watch the recently released “The Empire Strikes Back”.
Shows and Movies of 2022Here is the list of movies and shows I watched (or re-watched) this year. I do not recommend them all; some of it was great, some was utterly forgettable.
Epic Trailer SongsHave you noticed how many movie trailers lately feature classic songs (from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s) remastered in some kind of “Epic” mode? Take a look:
