Franklyn (2008)
7/10
Liked it, believe it or not.
30 April 2009
I liked it, believe it or not. it's not the common sci-fi stuff that you usually see out there. is different, incredibly artistic, not bad but not that good either.

the cast is simply amazing. Sam Riley is good as always, Eva green gets the biggest role and rocks at it, an Ryan Phillipe really surprised me (he didn't like him much before this movie).

i enjoyed it, i think it has some flaws, but in the end it is just what it promises to be: unusual and artistic. if you're a "classic movie" lover, you will not appreciate this movie at all. i've you're a "new wave" kind of person it's a must-see.

Phenomenal Performances
27 April 2008
This is a unique, phenomenal movie. It is centered in the journal of an elderly teacher that gets scarily obsessed by another, younger, teacher of who she keeps a terrible secret.

Yes, it is quite controversial (and revolting i must add) but the performances delivered by Judi Dench and Cate Blanchet are simply amazing, Oscar worthy all the away.

The screenplay is also incredible, and the direction and music fit like a glove in the movie's macabre genre.

I absolutely recommended it, if you like more than the weekend-movie that is...

Amazing performances and a truly brilliant story
8 February 2008
I truly love this movie, and i think it is a true masterpiece. the story is amazing, and the performances are truly amazing (all the cast is fantastic, but gene hackman and morgan freeman were just spectacular). Like i said, the story is amazing, and i think the ending works very well with the "long night drama" that the movie is (in a good way).

the movie is truly captivating, visually thrilling, and i just have to repeat, the story and the performances was just great!

i really recommended this movie. see it, even if you don't like it, you will surely be happy you have seen it.

Hard Candy (2005)
9/10
Brilliant. But nor for the easily disturbed.
4 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
this movie is one of the best i have ever seen. I've seen it a wile ago, only one time, but the movie just doesn't come out of my head.

so yeah, the movie is disturbing. but do all movies need to be equally easily accepted? fortunately not, and Hard Candy, with an amazing script, singular performances (specially Ellen Page OMG) and a smooth directing, proves just that.

The story is basically about a 14-yeas-old girl and a 30-year-old man who meet, after chatting over the internet. the movie evolves into a intense climax, that makes you thrilled, and that feeling doesn't quite end until a month after you have seen the movie.

At the end what can I say? Brilliant. But nor for the easily disturbed.

The Prestige (2006)
9/10
Smart entertainment. Simply genius.
4 February 2008
"Prestige" is pure entertainment, what can i say? it's just amazing! i loved every second of it, and I've recommended it to my family and friends, and i didn't shut up until everyone i knew had seen it.

everyone liked it. why? this movie is visually amazing, the natural light is very well managed, and the movie has a "not hard to look at" Gothic thing going on.

the movie is all about story, story, story. twists, twists, twists. But attention, there are smart twist! and this is very unusual, because American movies rarely have good twists, and this movie has a lot of good ones.

In the end, is pure entertainment, but it's something new: Smart Entertainment. Everyone will love it. It's simply genius, simply delicious.

Cloverfield (2008)
8/10
Different and unique. Visually brilliant.
4 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I have to say my expectations towards this movie weren't that high. I just saw it, and i have to admit I was completely wrong.

I was completely blown away. The movie offers you an amazing view of the plot, from the point of view of one of the characters. It not just "another blockbuster", or "another action movie", its unique and very well handled. The cast (usually in this type of movies is awful) was amazing as well.

I absolutely recommend it, especially to the one's that like something different, and truly like to be thrilled for more than 2 minutes. Prepare to be thrilled from the moment you hear the first explosion until you hear the last one.
