The old experience of Coen's could make this masterpiece.
21 May 2008
The Coen brothers have done it again. With a great cast: Javier Bardem's perfect rude murder, the Sheriff Tommy Lee Jones (always good), the beautiful Kelly McDonald (her scenes are impressive), the "lucky" Woody Harrelson and the new talented Josh Brolin (amazing!) contribute in this film with their great performances. You're the best ensemble cast of the year. The cinematography make this film visually beautiful. The Sound introduces you into the film, into the suspense and the thriller. And of course, the Coen's experience in writing, editing and directing make this film a worth seeing. Coens, you're gods. Always amazing. This film is my favorite of the 2007. So, you must see it. You won't be disappointed and you'll love it.

Simply, a masterpiece. One of the best of the year and the history.
2 January 2008
"American Gangster"..... What can I say? American Gangster is not an usual film. It's special. It has all that a film can dream. It arrives to the perfection. Ridley Scott is one of the best directors (in my own opinion) of the history. I think that American Gangster is his best film since Gladiator. Well, the acting is superb. What a wonderful acting! Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington, Ruby Dee, Carla Gugino, Josh Brolin.... And fortunately, Cuba Gooding Jr. probably will put a new direction in his career, because his last films were absolutely awful. The recreation of the 70's is perfect in all the things. The soundtrack has good songs and it adapts very well to the film in every moment that appears. The script is simply, but often, a simply script makes a masterpiece. And finally, Ridley Scott rules! My man, make more perfect films. And I just want to recommend this wonderful jewel of the cinema. RIDLEY SCOTT RULES! American GANGSTER RULES!

Me and my mother love this film. E.X.C.E.L.L.E.N.T.
23 November 2007
"Todo sobre mi madre" is a powerful film. With a great script (like all the Almodovar's film). Great acting and characters: Manuela (Cecilia Roth, in my opinion, her best performance), Huma (Marisa Paredes), Rosa (Penélope Cruz, very interesting character), Agrado (Antonia San Juan, strange), Rosa's mother (Rosa Maria Sardà, superb), Rosa's father (Fernando Fernán Gómez, great person, actor, writer, director... In the film, he makes a lovely scene, when he takes the dog to the park and Rosa saw he, but he can't remember who is Rosa. We will never forget Fernando), Esteban, Lola (Toni Cantó), Candela Peña (as an actress) and many more that are brilliant. All in the film is perfect. ALL! Almodóvar gives to us a FILM. Not an action film, not a comedy, not a horror film, not a fiction film... He gives to us A REAL AND SIMPLE FILM. You will laugh, you will cry, you will have emotions in 97 minutes. Buy it, rend it but See this incredible movie.

Black Sheep (2006)
1/10
I slept with that film
1 November 2007
Some things about "Black Sheep" or in the Spanish title "Ovejas asesinas" (Murders sheep). This film is very disappointing for a lot of reasons:

1.The script is so bad. There wasn't any with logic and it was boring.

2. The acting was horrible too. The "doctors", the boy, the girl, the supporting roles and the sheeps were so depressed. Probably, the will win a Razzie Award. Well, with a lot of luck.

3. The set decoration, the make-up and the special effects were one of the worse i've ever seen.

4. The Score (OST)was.................... No comments. John Williams, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, John Barry, Alberto Iglesias and company will suicide if they ever listen this OST.

And the last one, when I saw this "film", I slept on 30 minutes, because It was so bad, boring and overlong. Thanks for that new sleeping method, this day I got up at 7:15 and I went to bed at 3:30. Thanks of it, I could slept one extra hour. "Thanks" Black Sheep.

Don't waste your time, your money and your brain with this "precious" film. With the hope that you never will become crazy with "Black Sheep", a person who cares about your brain.

Moulin Rouge! (2001)
10/10
Moulin Rouge! A Sparkling Diamond
10 October 2007
Moulin Rouge! it's a very entertaining musical film. With a great cast: including Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman, giving one of her best performances. One of the best things of the film is the set-decoration and costume design. Wonderful! The soundtrack is one of my favorites. It contains in the same song a part from a song of KISS (I was made for loving you) and Elton John (YOUR SONG)or in SPARKLING DIAMONDS, Marylin Monroe (DIAMONDS ARE GIRL'S BEST FRIEND) and Madonna's (MATERIAL GIRL). My favorites songs are: .Lady Marmalade: the most famous song of the film. It's a super-mega-hit performed by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil Kim, Mya and Missy Elliot. .Sparkling Diamonds: great medley of Diamonds are... and Material Girl. When Nicole sings it in the film it's fantastic. .Your song: a lot of sensitive. .Children of the revolution: great song performed by Bono and many more. .One day I'll fly away: Nicole sings it very well. .Diamond dogs: I love this song. The lyrics and the melody are impressive. .The Elephant love medley: The best medley of the film. And the performances are so good. .Come What May: I think that's the best song of the film. Ewan and Nicole do it perfect! .Complain de la Butte: French good song. .Hindi sad diamonds: Strange song but I like it. .Like a virgin: So good. .Meet me in the red room: special. The music is amazing. .Show must go on: VERY VERY GOOD! And the song is one of the best of Queen.

The other songs are: Nature Boy, Because we can, Rhythm of the night, Tango de Roxanne, The Pitch and Bolero.

The argument of the film is so typical. A history of love, about a man and a woman that they can't be lovers.

A part from this, it's so wonderful and enchanting. Don't miss it! I Love Moulin Rouge.

Hairspray (2007)
8/10
Great film!
9 October 2007
Hairspray: Year:2007. Runtime:117 min. Cast: John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, Christophen Walken, Amanda Byrnes, James Mardsen, Zac Efron, Britanny Snow and introducing Nikki Bloonsky. ..................................................................... "Hairspray" was a great film. With a great cast like John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, Cristophen Walken, Amanda Bynes, Nikki Bloonsky and some more. The only bad in this film is Zac Efron. I hate this boy and he makes a horrible performance. The rest of the film is wonderful. The soundtrack is amazing with good songs like "Hairspray", "Good Morning Baltimore" and more that are fantastic. The decoration and the costumes are incredible. There are so professional. If you like musical or if you don't like musical, you can see this movie. It doesn't be disappointing. Don't miss it! And this re-make is better than the original film made in 1988.

L.A. Confidential: All of L.A. shines in this film.
20 May 2007
L.A. Confidential it's an attractive and impressive film from Curtis Hanson (Lucky you, 8 mile, In her shoes...). It's his best film! The screenplay it's a fountain of thriller, action, drama, crime and a little bit of humour. The screenplay is one of the best of the history, in my own opinion. The acting: in two words: "Stellar" & "Spectacular".

-Kim Basinger. Kim Basinger makes her best performance in her career. The academy gives to her the Oscar (It was a crime if they didn't gave it to her!). In this film she is very attractive. Posibilly, the best performance of the film. Absolutely wonderful.

-Kevin Spacey. Kevin Spacey it's a fantastic actor in the most part of his films. In that he did it again. Good acting. But his best is in "Usual Suspects" & "American Beauty", of course!

-Russell Crowe. With a lot of power! Russell Crowe makes another great performance. He plays his role with a lot of power, emotion and credibility. VERY GOOD,VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD Russell!

-Guy Pearce. He plays his role good. It's not fantastic but good.

-Danny DeVito. Danny does it very good. He is funny. It's a example of a very well performance. Brilliant!

-James Cromwell. He wants to "fuck" the rest of the people of L.A. He does a fantastic role.

The other people that appears in the film, are also almost perfect.

The score is amazing. Have a lot of of great themes. The cinematography or photography is... IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE FOR THE REST OF THE ETERNITY.

In resume, all in this film is perfect or almost perfect. L.A. Confidential is a masterpiece. And all of we knows it! 10/10 5 stars out 5.

The power of sensitive. If you cry with this film, you're human.
17 April 2007
"Dead Poets Society" is the masterpiece of Peter Weir also "The Truman Show". I think that's the best film of 1989, over another masterpiece "Driving Miss Daisy", but i prefer this. It had a lot of sensitive moments and it makes you think. Robin Williams gives his best performance, doing the role of a poetry teacher (John Keating), that shows poetry with a fabulous point of view. Also the film has the first performance of Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, and more people. The Screenplay is absolutely wonderful and the soundtrack relaxing and beautiful. The recreation of the college is so credible. Peter Weir one of the best directors of the moment, in my own opinion. He makes good films, originals, amazing... The sensitive in this film has a very important role, it makes you cry, because is a magical story about a group of friends and the relations with another the people, the poetry, the love... If you cry with this film, you're human. One more thing, "DEAD POETS SOCIETY" is the best film of 1989. Don't miss it.

Also there are a lot of "Cameos": Cecilia Roth (TODO SOBRE MI MADRE), Marisa Paredes (LA FLOR DE MI SECRETO, TODO SOBRE MI MADRE...), Caetano Veloso, Pina Brausch, Agustín Almodóvar (the brother of Pedro)

3.HABLE CON ELLA, is a film with a great original screenplay and a fabulous direction from Pedro Almodóvar, in my opinion, one of the best director of the history, and the best from Spain.

A nervous film
13 April 2007
I don't like the film! The film is nervous and so hysterical. The theme of the film is disappointing. Sean Penn gives a bad performance, in my own opinion. In "Dead Man Walking" and of course "Mystic River" gives his best performances. Naomi Watts is awful in this film (where is her performance in "King Kong", "Mullholland Drive" and "The painted veil"?). Don Cheadle is so-so, i prefer in "Traffic", "Crash" or "Hotel Rwanda". The Screenplay is poor. The set, costumes and more things are so poor too. If you were looking for a film like "Munich" (a masterpiece), you're wrong looking for this.

In my opinion, don't spent you're time watching an horrible film like "The assassination of Richard Nixon". Awful film.

The Prestige (2006)
10/10
"The Prestige": How to make a masterpiece
13 April 2007
What's "The Prestige"? It's an incredible film about two man rivalries. A perfect film with magical performances of all the actors: Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman make a memorable performance and Michael Caine is Spectacular! Scarlet Johanson gives to us her pretty and her talented to act. David Bowie is interesting. Andy Serkis is strange, being another creature that it isn't Gollum or King Kong. With a fantastic direction and screenplay from Christopher Nolan: a person who I want to say thanks for films like "Memento" or "Batman Begins". The set, the costumes, the cinematography are so good too. The soundtrack takes to us into the film.

The Prestige is a masterpiece to never forget.

The academy ignored this film, but all of we know that's a very very good movie.

Munich (2005)
10/10
An Fantastic Film
9 April 2007
I think that "Munich" is one of the best Spielberg Films. I think that's the second, after "Schindler's list". The Soundtrack is wonderful, from the master John Williams. Eric Bana gives a memorable and stellar performance. Daniel Craig, Geofrey Rush, Mathieu Kaswowitz are so good and credible. The film has a good screenplay. It has a good film editing. When you see the film, you believe that you're in the 70s, because the decoration and the clothes are in a fantastic adaptation. I think that the film isn't slow, it has action and emotion all the time. Spielberg knows, how do a masterpiece. It's one of my favorite directors of all time. My hope for the Oscars 2005 (best film)was : 1.Munich or Crash 2.Brokeback Mountain 3.Capote 4.Good night and good luck

"Munich" it's a masterpiece for ever and one of my favorites films. It's a great, fantastic, wonderful, amazing film. 10/10
