catching fire | 2013



Catching fire is, probably, a movie that is much more good and enjoyable if you've read the books before. Of course, as it's a movie, not everything is explained on this movie, but Lawrence performance really helps the audience to discover how does Katniss feel about everything that she is living (and that she has to live). It is a movie where you don't feel time going by,you nearly don't move from your seat, just to see how does Katniss, Peeta and the rest of the tributes and people try to survive in a world that Suzanne Collins created using the imagination and ideas from Orwell's 1984 book, roman history names and lots and lots of more influences that mixed made this book and, consequently, the film very entretaining and enjoyable. 

I have to say that with all the best-sellers adaptations that there are nowadays this is one of the best adaptations, because it takes the most important parts of the books and shows it like the book says, and this is remarcable because we're no really used to see that. More and more now the movies do not have nothing similar to the "books they are inspired in" and if you will to see what you've read in action, you end up depressed. 

So Catching fire is really a good adaptation from the addicting and entretaining books that counts with a good performance from Jennifer Lawrence that really fits into the character and that really makes this movie a decent movie to see if you like or not those kind of stories.  

Obviously, this book is a best-seller because it contains some of the classic elements of young literature. But it has also clever elements such as the revolution, the controlled life, politics, feelings... that make the movie and book special and very attractive. 

The end is similar to the twilight's breaking dawn end but it really makes you want to see the third one to see how does the story continue. 

So as a supporter of the books and the movies I must say that I really liked it and that this element that the books and movies have, politics, revolution, control.... is really amazing.

only god forgives | 2013

I saw this movie at the Sitges Film Festival. When the movie started you could feel Gosling's presence in the film as you do all the time that the movie lasts... but nothing more. Ryan Gosling's carachter 'Julian' seems like a ghost that sometimes can be violent and other times he stands up with everything, that her mother says. The movie stands between the violence and the colors, the feelings that the scenes produce on you. I think that the film is a metaphor of the things that happen in a kind of world that exists and where the only way of surviving is violence, but also your way of dying. Right know I can tell I made a good choice, 'cause this movie is different, it has something special Thanks to the Sitges Festival Organization for bringing this movie to Sitges!

guardians of the galaxy | 2014

The James Gunn film is set in a galaxy where the heroes haven't got the superhero profile. Peter Quill is a bounty hunt er that was taken away from his planet, the Earth, when he was just a boy. From his planet he only has a walkman with a cassette that has multiple songs.  It is noteworthy to say that the nostalgic songs and the reference to the movie Footloose (1984) where Kevin Bacon becomes a hero changing a situation by dancing makes this film different.  As said at the beginning, the characters have all a different profile that you wouldn't identify with a hero. They are selfish, they only look for themselves... When Peter steals something capable of destroying the galaxy from Ronan - the tyrant of the film  - Gamora (Zoe Saldana) has the duty to bring it back to Ronan, but she's planning her betrayal. Besides that, the Groot and Rocket want to capture Peter to earn money. This persecution finishes when they all go to jail and have to ally in order to get ...
