In 2008 I was in some place where I used to be so busy every day, that I couldn't watch too many movies at once. This one, Pineapple Express slipped from the bundle, mostly that I was a fan of nobody from the movie at the time, and thinking that this is the team who brought Superbad to be a "hit" (great words, too great) was not an advantage at all. So, I considered Superbad a bad joke. I like comedies, I always liked them. Anyway, I wasn't a fan of Seth Rogen either, and I profoundly disliked … [Read more...]
Greenberg, an American domestic drama
I can say that I like a lot Ben Stiller. Greenberg is the last movie I saw, in which Stiller is starring with verve, the last I've liked him, not having the patience to wait Little Fockers to end, mostly because of Alba ("Andy Garcia") and the screenplay. The "top critics" from Rotten Tomatoes, with all the good leverage from the public and the votes on imdb, (6.2 out of 10) can only to express themselves in a neighing concerto, almost dismembering Stiller's performance, acclaiming Gerwig's. … [Read more...]
Some good things about Woody Allen
Woody Allen is one of the most prolific artists in Hollywood. Director, actor, producer, writer, screenwriter, everyone may ask what he is not, and sometimes, Woody Allen is just too much. Not the funniest guy on earth, but he is sometimes funny and simultaneously deep, which is rare. Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Cassandra's Dream (2007), Scoop (2006), Match Point (2005), Melinda and Melinda (2004), Anything Else (2003) are considered all comedies, but they're just as forgettable as any … [Read more...]
The Controversial Film Director
I waited a few days before approaching the Lars von Trier freaky banning from Cannes Festival. I'm going to quote from various sources a few things, and I'll let you know my own opinion about the event. I'm trying hard to find the movie these days. "With his film, Melancholia, playing In Competition, the director spoke at the festival’s press conference for the film, and stated, amongst many other things, that he sympathized with Hitler, joked about being a Nazi, and even called Israel a … [Read more...]
The comical design
It is a mystery for me of when I felt attracted to Will Ferrell's antics, I can't recall it at all, but I'm sure now that he is one of my favorite comic actors alive, and if I try to judge deeper of what kind of movies I'm digging lately, he became one of my favorite actors, along with what was called The Frat Pack after the movie Old School, meaning Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson and without any doubt, Jack Black, even if this one wasn't playing maybe in the movie. … [Read more...]
Year 1963
I've got the inspiration to create something on the special year 1963, from a recent friend from Twitter, an artist maybe born on that year, and I found a few very interesting issues. Starting from web pages specialized exactly on this, to show artistically, things happened during the requested year, to an up to date research based on a special day, your birthday, for sample. [source] Politics - France and West Germany sign the Elysée Treaty, ending four hundred years of conflict … [Read more...]
