I had been itching to blog these past days but unfortunately, Ayuc has acted up. It freezes right in the middle of things, which indicate either 2 things broken: the motherboard or RAM. Since it manages to boot up to a certain point, I'm blaming RAM. I have a source where I can buy 1gb. [...]
Ok at the end of my review, I'm supposed to basically say how the saving grace of this movie is the soundtrack. But I'm saying it out now because I want to post a vid of my fave song from it (the pixies' 'hey') just before I put on the 'keep reading' tag. So here [...]
Almost by accident I watched Broken Flowers, and the fact that I had 0 expectations I think, adds to how I think this is probably one of the best movies I've ever watched. I came about it when I checked out Rotten Tomatoes for some reason or other, and happened onto a Bill Murray movies [...]
If there's any type of movie I'd say that best reflects my idea of Hollywood, it's the big grand musical. Now I'm fairly aware that saying that sounds very gay, which I'm sure makes my homophobic girlfriend cringe. But hey, I'm not gonna lie. Big grand musicals are the epitome, to me, of what a [...]
Writing this, I realized that there are many ways you can approach Ratatouille, which is probably it's main weakness. First and foremost, you can write about the lead character Remy, which is a rat, and approach how inappropriate this is for a movie about food. Second, you can talk about the food, and the fact [...]
Sunshine is a story about a group of scientists and astronauts sent out to space 50 years from now to fix the sun via exploding a bomb into it. First they have to get there of course, and no they don't resort to doing it at night, so let's get that old, old joke over [...]
Three words: Too many plots. Let me explain why I think that's what did this movie in. See, movies, or all story telling for hat matter, has to have a main plot. The chief character struggling to maintain his relationship. Or having to face a formidable enemy. Or needing to keep his job and sanity [...]
As far as I know, people either hate or love John Travolta. And I don't blame them. This is the direct result of producing a classic like Staying Alive, then dropping off the planet and getting listed in the celebrity 'whatever happened to..?' list for a decade or two. Then you come back with Pulp [...]
What's obvious to me during the watching of 'Laberinto del fauno, El' (Pan's Labyrinth), is that the performance of it's chief villain, Capitan Vidal, played magnificently by Sergi Lopez, effectively brings to life the best rendition of a movie villain I've ever seen. To me, the bad guy is always the juiciest part in every [...]
Beatrix Potter in this movie, is an artist and a 32 year old woman forced to bear with the whims of a social climbing mother and a society that has yet to recognize the value of women in, well, any role other than that of the traditional, which in the 1800s was fairly limited. You [...]
