Peliplat - The first social network for film buffs. Everything you need to know about the film industry, its celebrities and the best movies and TV shows.

Though it premiered in 2022, David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future feels eerily more relevant today. As we continue to face worsening environmental crises, groundbreaking advancements in biotechnology, and intensifying cultural divisions, this dystopian masterpiece serves as both a cautionary tale and a dark meditation on humanity’s future. In Cronenberg’s imagined world, the human species has evolved—or devolved—past its natural boundaries. Physical pain is a thing of the past, and with it, h

Any story from the one made from the intimate individual authorship to the funny multimillionaire summer adventure has to play with the same elements to be told, every story has a beginning and an end, every story must move, for that there are scenes in which things happen, they move the story to where it wants to go, that composes movements, the movements compose acts and the acts compose the stories we love to see. I do not believe in the preponderance of the message, films are not advice, the

At first sight one might assume that The Honeymoon Killers (1970) is just another exploitation film. After all, its poster looks cheap and provocative: an obese woman, in her underwear, receives the passionate caresses of her lover... all done with a black and white photograph, and a two-color background (white and pink). It looks like a story of fetishism and forbidden passions... until we see that the couple is sitting on a trunk from which an arm is sticking out, meaning that inside there is

Well, dear readers, just like many of you, I grew up watching the most bizarre things on telly. I practically had a "VIP pass" to the weirdest and most varied content you could imagine. Honestly, there was zero supervision at home, so I could spend hours upon hours in front of the screen, and no one would bat an eyelid. Sad but true. I know I'm not the only one who lived like this, and while it might sound a bit dramatic now, the truth is it didn’t bother me that much at the time. Looking back a

Un género que fue nombrado como tal más de veinte años después de su breve pero influyente paso por el mundo de la música, el “yacht rock” es tan reconocible como indefinible. Y el film Yacht Rock: a Dockumentary, que integra la serie de HBO titulada Music Box, trata de llegar al fondo, de descifrar de qué se habla cuando se lo menciona. Un documental inusualmente académico y profundo, que intenta descifrar desde lo específicamente musical qué es lo que define a un género, “Yacht Rock” se centra

The Crippled "Afterimage" I hope that when I die, it will be quiet. I hope my death will resemble a falling leaf, drifting unnoticed into the soil, and then, imperceptibly, being consumed by the world. What people notice might only be the east wind. My death is merely a fleeting scene passing by, but the east wind truly embraces you. You don’t need to look; just leave an inch of space for me in your chest. While filming SUPER HAPPY FOREVER, Kohei Igarashi also shot a short film, Two of Us, in a

Friday. 2 AM on the sixth day of the initial week of 2024's last month. After spending a whole year thoroughly analyzing the "most-watched" works across different platforms according to their "algorithm data", I decided to review what the famous tendencies were through one last glimpse out of mere curiosity. I started this article with an intro comparable to a private diary entry because I simply want to gift it to myself as a reminder of what decisions not to make, even though it sounds kind of

HBO’s latest series, Dune: Prophecy (Season 1), has officially landed, yet it feels like the quiet thud of a sandworm moving underground—large in scope but barely noticed. As the entertainment world buzzes about Gladiator II, Wicked, and Moana 2, the latest expansion of the Dune universe seems to have slipped through the cracks. The cultural moment, it seems, belongs to colorful musicals, Roman epics, and animated nostalgia—not the windswept deserts of Arrakis or the whispers of Bene Gesserit co

Presently known as the "King of Horror Manga," Japanese artist Junji Ito captivated his fans including myself, with his 1980s anthology Tomie, which revolves around the brutal murder and dismemberment of a young girl whose spirit reincarnates and multiplies long after death. I stumbled upon Tomie at an inappropriate age I'll admit. Still, I couldn't stop reading because of how intriguing the narrative surrounding a transgressive succubus, who ruins the lives of men was. If you're familiar with J

Moana, and other main characters of Moana 2. Last weekend, my wife and I saw Moana 2 at the cinema. Though we don't have children yet, we're planning to, and throughout the movie, we found ourselves thinking, "How wonderful would it be to watch this with our future child!" The movie captivated us not only because of our parental dreams but because it was genuinely excellent. The stunning visuals and seamlessly integrated music enhanced the storyline beautifully. That same morning, I had watched

I have hardly ever left a screening feeling I had just witnessed something that redefines the musical genre. But Wicked brought that on me. I was already a fan of the Broadway show, but the movie managed to surprise me by transforming what was once pure theatrical charm into an unforgettable cinematic experience. At the center of it all is Cynthia Erivo , whose interpretation of Elphaba is not just memorable, but revolutionary. From the very first moment Cynthia appears as the green-skinned witc

Sure, M. Night Shyamalan's box office numbers are pretty impressive. But when it comes to reviews? That’s where things get messy. Take his latest flick, Trap, for example. It hit theaters this August and pulled in over $82.4 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. Definitely not a flop, right? It seems like Shyamalan has successfully reignited his career since his comeback with The Visit. But here's the thing — as one of those viewers who always feels a bit duped after watching his films, yet

Once Upon a Time in America is a difficult film to evaluate. Among most male movie enthusiasts, it still holds a prestigious status as a masterpiece. Power, violence, brotherhood, and betrayal are elements that resonate with and captivate male audiences, and Once Upon a Time in America explores them in great depth. Sergio Leone’s grand, operatic style, along with performances by Robert De Niro and James Woods, further elevate the film. As far as gangster films go, Once Upon a Time in America und

I have been a big fan of the MCU since its beginnings and I faithfully follow each installment, even though lately some series like Echo or Secret Invasion have not helped me want to watch absolutely everything, so upon hearing the return of the legendary X-Men animated series from the 90s, I started watching it. The series definitely has its fame very well achieved, in its 5 seasons they included a lot of characters and arcs from the comics in a very precise way, finally allowing me to see a fa

By the time I got to see The Last Showgirl, the opening night film at the Whistler Film Festival, it had already received a lot of buzz. Being a child of the 80's, Pamela Anderson was a permanent pop-culture fixture through my formative years. From Baywatch, to Barb Wire, to all the nonsense surrounding her relationship with Tommy Lee, I witnessed her career firsthand. Being a closeted gay kid in Northern Canada, I didn't have the same schoolboy crush on her like so many of my classmates. I pret

White clouds drift idly underneath the blue sky as a group of blindfolded teenagers play football over the grounds filled with red vegetation... The Colombian film Monos (2019) looks surreal at the outset. The film tells the story of a group of teenage guerrillas guarding an American hostage (Doctora) and a milk cow on the top of an impossibly high mountain. The film’s atmosphere switches between astonishing beauty and extreme horror, and the audience witnesses how a small, isolated community tr

The “outlaw couple” is far from a fresh topic in American cinema. Classic films like Gun Crazy directly inspired the New Hollywood milestone Bonnie and Clyde（1976）. Terrence Malick’s debut feature, Badlands (1973), pays homage to this lineage, Arthur Penn was actually the director’s neighbor. Badlands tells the story of a fugitive couple. Kit (Martin Sheen), a “garbage collector”, falls for Holly (Sissy Spacek), a girl strictly controlled by her father. After killing Holly’s father, Kit and Holl
