Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

Elegant

[10/10 · 12 January 2005]

This movie is elegant. The performances are magnificent. John Malkovich is totally believable as the sector that destroys the life of countless naive women. Glenn Close is amazing as one of the greatest "bitches" of the story of cinema. Michelle Pfeiffer and Keanu Reeves gave their best performances ever and Uma Thurman is amazing with a tremendous mix of innocence and sexuality. The script and the direction really made an amazing job giving an environment of sickness and degradation. The makeup and the beautiful costumes only aggregate the force that the story needed to be told. An amazing movie you really wish to enter in that snake's nest. Highly recommended.

Titanic (1997)

Majestic

[10/10 · 11 January 2005]

Titanic is one of those films that you love to hate. But honestly there is no reason for hating this movie. Yes the movie is long, yes is commercial, yes is an "oscar movie" and so what?? Is a movie done with a lot of spirit, with energy, a magnificent movie, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were amazing and look where they are now, they are two of the best performers of our generation and all the supporting members of the cast (Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Billy Zane... ) are respected actors that have given the world great performances. James Cameron had the vision and knew exactly who was right for the roles and in that same way he did the hole movie. The songs, the score, the make up, everything is where it belongs, is a great movie that only future generation are going to appreciate the way it should be. Is one of the most amazing shows that has ever exist in the story of the cinema. The script is good, the direction is wonderful and the hole movie is majestic. 10 / 10

Heathers (1988)

great, original, refreshing

[10/10 · 11 January 2005]

One of the most amazing and strong movies that I have ever seen. Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and especially Shannen Doherty showed their enormous talent and gave a performance that really touch you. The direction is wonderful but above all things the script. The script is so clever and unique that there is a moment where you feel really connected with the characters and even you know that what they are doping is completely unacceptable you agree and support them because the story is so well written that you are transported to that tremendous high school. This is a strong movie and for days it really shocked me. I saw it when I was 14 and it really made a big impact in me. Highly recommended.

The Motorcycle Diaries (2004)

One of the best Latin American movies from the last ten years

[10/10 · 8 January 2005]

Gael Garcia Bernal shows that he is one of the best actors of our generation giving a beautiful performance of what could have been the journey that change forever the life of an icon of the size of Ernesto Che Guevara. Also he is surrounded by the best team, from wonderful actors like Rodrigo de la Serna to the enormous team of crew that made this movie one of the most beautiful and well done movies of this last decade in Latin America, also I have to thank the director and the writers the ones that really made a gorgeous work by showing the world all the beauty, poverty, strenght and traditions of these culture and reminding us the great potential that our countries have and that is really underestimate by all of us, you did a great job 5 / 5
