It is … Continue reading

El Topo (1970) Review
Director: Alejandro Jodorowsky Cast: Alejandro Jodorowsky, Brontis Jodorowsky, Mara Lorenzio, David Silva, Paula Romo Running Time: 125 min. By JJ Hatfield “El Topo” is not an easy film to review.

Django (1966) Review
Director: Sergio Corbucci Cast: Franco Nero, Loredana Nusciak, José Bódalo, Ángel Álvarez, Eduardo Fajardo Running Time: 97 min.
