Being There (1979) 95% EDIT “What started as a fable ends up being a satire and that is precisely where the story becomes tedious and long, at the same time that it shows its weakest side. [Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Flash Gordon (1980) 83% EDIT “In between brittle skies and other galactic junk, the adults are likely to doze off. [Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Hangar 18 (1980) 40% EDIT “The film resembles a television series, even though its special effects are superior.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Aug 21, 2019 Full Review Dead and Buried (1981) 71% EDIT “While the technical aspects of the movie are brilliant, the central idea is executed poorly.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Aug 20, 2019 Full Review Man of Iron (1981) EDIT “The film is shot in a mechanical way, which makes it a bit monotonous.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Aug 20, 2019 Full Review Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981) 9% EDIT “The scriptwriters only bothered to put together a boring adventure, where the only good thing is the professional work of Richard Harris.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Aug 20, 2019 Full Review The Aviator's Wife (1981) 82% EDIT “Everything is told in such a sincere and direct way.

(1981) 82% EDIT “Aside from a joke and an entertaining scene here and there, the movie lacks humor and repeats itself.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Aug 20, 2019 Full Review The Crying Woman (1978) EDIT “The most novel aspect of the film is the way it portrays the story.

[Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Aug 20, 2019 Full Review Clash of the Titans (1981) 63% EDIT “The movie is crafted with the extravagant special effects that cinema offers and requires today.

An eternal adventure of men facing the decisive moment of luck, willing to kill or be killed. [Full Review in Spanish]” – El Pais (Spain) Aug 20, 2019 Full Review
