¿Qué tiene de especial otro libro más con unas cuántas reseñas de películas, habiendo ya cientos? El enfoque. Se trata de hablar de aquellas películas, digamos cutres, que veíamos de críos en los cines de barrio como "El luchador manco", "Le llamaban Trinidad" o "Gorgo y Superman se citan en Tokio", por poner tres ejemplos. Pero claro, en los cines de barrio tambien disfrutabamos con "Los violentos de Kelly", "Diamantes para la eternidad" o "El planeta de los simios", entre otras mil. Asi que el resultado final es un libro que intenta rememorar aquellas tardes en el cine de barrio (y en alguno de estreno), con comentarios mas o menos serios sobre muchos de aquellos filmes. Esa secuencia de tantas pelis que se nos quedo grabada en la memoria para siempre, ese miedo que pasamos, esas carcajadas que nos echamos "SESION CONTINUA" es un libro de memorias cinefilas, pero tambien un intento por situar a cada lector en aquellos momentos, que incluso nos pueden hacer recordar el cine y el momento en que las vieron.

Este libro es una aproximación mediante 50 películas al blockbuster o cine de gran presupuesto, víctima aún hoy de desconocimiento y prejuicios pese a constituir un pilar básico de la creatividad, la experimentacion y las dinamicas industriales del medio desde sus inicios. Hace un repaso tanto de las epopeyas silentes de Giovanni Pastrone o D. W. Griffith como de los espectaculos del Hollywood clasico, aunque presta una atencion especial al blockbuster posterior al hito que represento Tiburon (1975), de Steven Spielberg: de James Cameron a Denis Villeneuve pasando por Michael Bay y Disney, sin olvidar los aportes del cine europeo y autores heterodoxos como Erich von Stroheim y Werner Herzog.
