Cosa Bella (2006)
Cosa Bellisima
I don't know what's about this film, perhaps' the girls or the photography, the whole story, how it's filmed, but I just love it.
I can't stop watching it and every time I find something new to watch.
I LOVE short films, because I do believe you can tell a story in a few minutes, but this one takes that to the extreme.
And it's not just one thing -yes, the girls are awesome-, it's the whole thing.
It's been filmed in NY -or pretends to be there-. I don't know why, most of the American movies I like happens in NY.
I can just tell you one thing about this movie: If you haven't watched it yet, DO IT KNOW, you'll love it.
It's Just lovely!
Cool as Ice (1991)
I liked the movie...
Yes, yes, yes, I know, it's not Godfather or any other of those excellent movies I've seen. But I like it.
I had to admit that I was (and to certain point still keep on being) a big Vanilla Ice fan. I do like his rap. So, that might have influenced me, but, nahh, this film is not that bad. I've seen worse films (take David Cronenberg's Crash as an example) and people still tries to find the hidden mysterious beauty. C'mon David Cronenberg or not David Cronenberg Crash is bad.
The same happens with Cool As Ice. Yes, I know it's not original, it's not new, and it doesn't has what Godfather has, but, nonetheless I guess it's a nice movie to watch those long Sundays when you are cozy in your bed without feeling like doing anything else...
Well that's just my two cents on the matter (BTW, did I say that Vanilla Ice's acting is NOT THAT BAD)...
Lilja 4-ever (2002)
One of the best films I ever seen
I can't explain into words what this film produced in me. I mean, I've seen Goodfather and Bom Yeoreum Gaeul Gyeoul Geurigo Bom, and... and, I always liked them a lot.
But this movie, leaves you something else. Though it's sad, it's amazingly well done without getting into the «common places» (as we say in Spanish), and it can still leave you the feeling you want more about Lilja, more about, Andrei, more about every single character on the plot.
It's so well written and so well 'told', that it makes you wanna it will never ends.
On the other hand, it's not just fiction, it tells us a lot about what Soviets became when the wall was down. What capitalism and democracy means to the rest of the world (and by the rest of the world I mean the world minus USA, and their wealthy friends.) It's such an amazing thing what Lukas has done here. I mean he's telling a lot of History on this particular Story, and, even more, he's letting us know that, no matter what might happen, there's always HOPE.
The Godfather (1972)
The best film ever.
I'm a movie fan! I love most movies I see (except of, for example, "Crash"), but, this one movie, for me, has everything a movie must have.
First off (and as John Travolta says in "Swordfish"), it has REALISM. From the girls and the boys at the wedding (all of them seems truly Italian) to the Scene when the filmmaker found he has no legs. Everything it made truly believable. ACTING. And that's not a minor factor. Everyone acts as hell, everything is so well done. Almost impossible to believe. DIRECTING. Yes, this is one of the (if not the) best directed movies. Everything's on its place. I truly love it!
I can keep on naming good aspects of this wonderful movie, but truth is that I just can't explain why I watched this movie more than 50 times and still, every single Friday night we gather around the TV set to watch it again...
A gem I could not afford not to share with the rest...
KikujirĂ´ no natsu (1999)
Just Excellent!!!
I don't know what others might think about this movie, but (Takeshi) Kitano, again, gave us extreme quality.
It's incredible, but he can't stop amusing me! First, Sono Otoko, Kyobo Ni Tsuki, then, he changes everything with Hana-Bi, and then, when you can't expect anything from him, he comes out with Kikujiro No Natsu. Excellent! I have no words to explain it, just watch it!
The Birdcage (1996)
A wonderful comedy, where despite all, family values are enhanced...
Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane..., Agador (Spartacus), Val, Barbra, Katherine... Too many names, a single story. This movie moves around a family (yes, they are a family) and the problems they have to pass when meeting their sons girlfriend and her conservative family. A comedy that, first of all, enhances the family values, the loyalty, and shows you that, sometimes, a family is not what you think it is. A masterpiece of comedy...
La edad del sol (1999)
One of the worst films I've EVER seen!
This Argentine , even though I'd preffer it to be from somewhere else] movie, tells the story of a Girl's End-Shool Trip with her classmates. The story itself is bullsh*t and the movie is even worst. No good acting, and no good music. My final advice, if you have something better to do with $7, then don't hessitate and do it, if not, do nothing, but never watch this film.
