summer mix [films] | 2014

Resultat d'imatges de summer cinema


This summer hasn't been memorable at all when it comes to films. I've had no time to review the ones I've seen but I think that any has been very interesting. 
Probably, the best I've seen is Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which combined the reflexion of what differences us from the apes (or viceversa) and the action. Andy Serkis showed that he is a master when it comes to perform those kinds of characters. Another one that was quite good was How to train your dragon 2, for kids this is a very entertaining film and for the adults as well; of course, it is not a classic but could be classified as remarkable film for families. 

Other films I've seen are The Purge: Anarchy which did had a good story, it could have been a very interesting film because it talked about politics and the social differences but despite and the horror, and dark atmosphere that was noteworthy, it ended up being foreseeable and had no incentive - when it came to horror or action - to watch it. Blended and Sex Tape were both entertaining but none of them was as funny to be considered great comedies. The worst comedy I have seen, though, was A million ways to die in the West because some of the sketches were really funny but the film was kind of nonsense. 

So, even though there has been some good releases these summer, I am awaiting to watch lots of more good films in September and on.... Oscar race is coming...

barcelona nit d'hivern | 2015

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...  In the movie everyone learns something about life, family or love... in fact, the magic of Christmas is always present. It is romantic, but you also real and magic and you laugh a lot as well.  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!
