the hobbit, the desolation of smaug | 2013

The Hobbit; one more movie for the Lord of the Rings fans. People who like the "typical hollywood stories" (even though these were made by Tolkien) that now seem to be repeated. The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit sequel have something magic (maybe it's fans) that provokes people to go massively, or at least, more than other days, to the cinema. The Hobbit, as said, does not explain a story that you could not predict but, instead, it has the power to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Peter Jackson has done a good work with the adaptation of the books and has also demonstrated he is a good director because que really nows how to make a transition and when he has to make it. Overall the movie is enjoyable and the end, quite unpredictable, in a sense that you are waiting for something that does not come. Even though, it is known that three movies were filmed to adapt this book, you are really expecting to see something when, suddenly, the movie ends... you go out of the cinema and still think you wanted to see how everything ended.

This is The Hobbit, and the world needs to know that when this finishes, we should wait some time to see again this kind of "searching your lost kingdom" film, because now, this movies are good because they are adapted from really good and enjoyable books that became a success.... but when everything finishes, people are not going to be happy with only this kind of stories, they're going to look forward to different stories/ideas.

Barcelona nit d'hivern , the sequel of Barcelona nit d'estiu, captures de spirit of Christmas, when everything is possible. The film follows the life of various couples, families, friends and people that spend the Christmas night in Barcelona. Some of them fall in love, others try new things, and some others share a secret they were hiding for a long time...

A perfect film for these holidays

the secret life of walter mitty | 2013

A dreamer, Walter Mitty is a contemporaneous dreamer that wants to say that to escape from the world we're living in, we don't need, if we would like to change it, to fight, we need to dream. With this motto Walter Mitty starts to change his life and live the dream. When the Life magazine is about to close it's doors to become a digital source of information Mitty is the person who needs to provide the photography that will be the 5th essence and last cover of the publication. The problem is, he does not find it. The movie, then becomes a journey, sometimes ponderous and boring, where the best thing is the photography. The original story was simple, but this one starts being also simple and changes to be complex and more awkward than it should be. Very promising, but the result hasn't been as good as it could and should have been. The moral could have been a good point for this movie, but the idea of dreaming to escape from the problems is not convi...

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!
