I love Twitter, it is the cleanest form of concise expression. They don't steal from Facebook or Google Plus, it's the other way around. One can say "Don't tweet and drive!" because it's addictive, like Pinterest. I have met the best new friends on Twitter, even if I grew a stronger base on Google Plus and I didn't want to use Facebook for any reason. Maybe it is not good politics, but I had something personal against "the Monster" at the time. I know it's only business, but I considered it bad … [Read more...]
Saturday Night Live, the Most Hilarious Show
Saturday Night Live is one of the most hilarious shows ever to be aired. The concept and the wit of the sketches are not to be seen anywhere. It is humor in its purest sense. Everything is done because of the talented creators and actors. I have compiled such a list on imdb, called "The Best SNL People", consisting of fifty four actors and actresses with a permanent role in the show, not just hosts or invited guests. I have read a lot of reviews about this marvelous show. I don't … [Read more...]
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
"Life made him tough. Love made him strong. Music made him hard." “Walk Hard” is a hit comedy, one of my favorites so far. I thought of this post for more than six months, but always appeared something else in the way, and I needed to do more research. It is complex, and if it seems that the structure is based on mocking “Walk the Line”, it is an original movie, with original songs, which pays tribute to Johnny Cash, punk rock, the Beatles, The Doors, Bob Dylan, and many more. John C. … [Read more...]
The Film Independent Spirit Awards 2014
Because I decided a few months ago to group all my awards posts in a separate category, I consider normal to feature The Film Independent Spirit Awards too. They started in 1984 as "Findies" (Friends of Independents) by Jeanne Lucas and Anne Kimmel, President of IFP/West (now Film Independent) to thank individuals and organizations for their support of independent filmmakers. The awards were first voted on by a nominating committee. In 1986, "Findies" is renamed Film Independent Spirit Awards, … [Read more...]
Oscar Winners 2014
I took again the list from CNN's site, I pasted here from my post with the nominations, because it is layered better than the one they have published now. I have been a little bit disappointed by the final result, and I don't know why, because I haven't seen the whole movie, and you know that if you have read my previous post. Except Best Picture, this year's Oscars winners are perfectly fine, almost predictable. The choosing of Best Supporting Actor has been the hardest, I think, but Jared Leto … [Read more...]
The Wolf of Wall Street
It is almost unbelievable the successful trajectory of Jonah Hill, the former Superbad type movies actor. With the role of "Donnie Azoff" in this last Martin Scorsese superproduction, The Wolf of Wall Street. Actually it is normal, counting that he has been good all along, despite that the "superproducers" discovered him just in the last three years. It is a casting matter, they do with acting like the other industries do when outsourcing services in Asia or somewhere else. Starting every year … [Read more...]
