Reviews

Lola Flores was one of the most famous flamenco dancer and copla singer in the world. In Spain used to call her "La Faraona" and perhaps with Rocio Jurado and Concha Piquer was the best in her genre. She died in 1995 and perhaps could be this date the end of the film.

This film show us the first year of Lola Flores until the born of Lolita Flores, her first daughter. This bring a period of time between 1931 to 1958. It's also her period of several romance like Manolo el Caracol or her husband "El Pescailla".

This topic about love and jealousy is what the film is all about. A big mistake, cause she does a very good performance that could be show in the film.

Maybe ¿Y decirte una estupidez? por ejemplo te quiero is not a masterpiece, but it's a good product of entertainment. The plot is about a boy who remember his first High School love and the memories of those days. It includes topic like the discover of sex, the battle boys vs girls and of course the exams. Also this film included some of the most famous young Spanish actors like Alejo Sauras, Blanca Jara or Tito Augusto.

But this film goes beyond than other ones like American Pie, because it's also romantic and perhaps Mellon collie.

My mark is a six or six point eight.

"Los hombres DE Paco" has the elements to be a success.

1.Great Comedy screens featuring Unpolitically correct things. 2.Good actors and actress like Neus Asensi,Paco Tous,Pepón Nieto or Juán Diego. 3.Brand new people like Lucas and Michelle Jener.They're pretty and talented. 4.Topics about ordinary life. 5.Good Soundtrack by Spanish band "Pignoise".

"Los hombres DE Paco" began with low levels of share because the timetable (Sundays at night) but people rediscovered it when Antena 3 change to Wednesday nights. Now is a very famous show and it seems to be continue for a long period of time, something that is good for Spanish TV against other shows like "Los Serrano" or the awful new project by Ana Obregón.

¡Buen viaje, excelencia! (2003) is a Satiric project of film by one of the best Dramatic Group in Spain: Els Joglars.

This group born in the sixties but their Theater screen became to be famous in the late seventies.The Director of the company is Albert Boadella who is a very original Screenwriter/Director

The problem is that this film has not that kind of Quality.¡Buen viaje, excelencia! (2003)falls in the easy joke and most of the gags are not funny.

If you want see the Els Juglars,Go to the Theater to see them,but not in the cinema Because it is not their ground.

When I saw the "Suicide Virgins" I Marked the talent of Sofia Coppola Behind the Cameras But In "Lost In Translation" I Could Re-marked it.

Ok it's not the best film of history,but it is proud to be on 250 top Films. It's in its right Place.

This kind of stories could have left you a good or bad sensation.For somebody it is too smart and for another person is as bad as a Summer Film.

The best of the Film are The Main Couple and Sofia Coppola. The Soundtrack sounds very "indie" and The Japanese roles are good too.

The Worse of the film is perhaps some points of the Screen that could be better but they are not very important.

Amelie is a strange Film, This kind of Piece is like a Shooting Star. It's Soft,Sweet and Sour.

The best of the Amelie is the direction and photography.It present us an uthopic Paris, the Paris of the Old Time and its People. The Shop Assistants, the Coffee Costumers and Of Course Audrey Tatou in her best role, Simply Magic.

Other point of Amelie is the very minimalist cheat in the screen.It shows a different way to make Films, another way to do Pure Art.

The Last but not less Important is the Soundtrack By Yann Tiersen (His music could be listened on Another European Great Film "Goodbye Lenin")It sounds so old and so New.

Some people hopes four years to watch this film so it's a Hard subject to the screenwriter and directors.The question is

How could be good something witch is hope for a long time? And for that is the reason that some people dislikes the third film.

In my opinion revolutions offers what you want,an end and a good story (absolutely better than Matrix Reloaded)But if you remember Matrix I you could think that revolutions is one of the worse films in the new cinema,in fact,Can we compare with a Masterpiece? Matrix I is very original and it marks the beginning of a new FX era and perhaps,the reborn of action-sci-fi films.

The actors are good and it missed the original oracle,Music is correct and Mr Smith could be one of the best Villains of these times.

MATRIX REVOLUTIONS:NOT A MASTERPIECE LIKE THE ORIGINAL,BUT IT'S A VERY GOOD FILM.

I watch this film late at night and I discover a good television film by Stanley Donen (The director of the great Singing in the rain)

It tell us a romantic story about a man and a woman who are very friends but they follow different ways,so they use letters to communicate both.

sometimes Movies make for television show us bad quality productions,but this little film teaches us that there are good lost films in the video or television.

Love Letters:Delicious Film

After a good film series arrives a bad film and this is happen with Rocky V.This film has not as quality as the others and becoming bored.

But What happen with Rocky V?

There is not good ideas for the plot and the "villain" is worse than the other ones,A younger boxer Tommy Gunn,is not like the legendary Apollo Creed,The good Clubber Lang and the Correct Ivan Drago.

The film shows Rocky in his last Days like a Boxer,Rocky fans want to see him in a good fight,not like a street fighter.

I hope that if there will be Rocky VI,please do it better than Fifth one.

The fourth part of Rocky is a little bored but not impossible to watch for these Reasons

1 The plot begins to be bad. 2 Ivan Drago Has not the fame and the good role like the other "Villains". 3 The death of Apollo is too forced,could be another reason for fight with Ivan. 4 Where is the theme of Rocky?

Rocky IV is better than fifth part but it is worse than the other films.

When we talk about Rocky's saga so many people say that the three firsts films are the best one and it is true,with the fourth part the series takes another way and films becoming a little bored.

The third part presents Rocky at the top of the ranking,he lives ok with his wife Adrian,his son,Paul and Mickey and Fights in Easy combats but One Day a new great boxer appears,Clubber Lang,who wants to fight with Rocky to win the Heavyweight champions belt,Rocky accept it.In the combat Rocky Fights bad Because his coach and friend Mickey is Sick in the trainer's room,finally he loses and he is present in the death of her friend.

Rocky,with the help of Apollo Creed,begins to train in Apollo's old gym and finally he is right to fight with Lang.

Rocky III is perhaps the Best Sequel and the most unexpected but it is not as original as the first.

The second part of Rocky falls in originality because you know exactly what will happen.

Rocky,who wants the retire,gets a new opportunity to fight against Apollo Creed,but he is not as good as the past to fighting with him so he begins to train with his all life coach (Great Role by Burgess Meredith)and the final of the film you can imagine it and probably you are right.

Rocky II is a film for watching but if you have better things to do or to watch look at another film.

Rocky is a film about boxer's life in the seventies,the film tell us the rise of a poor man to the Top of the hill. Perhaps it has not good screen but the plot is universal,a man who gets the glory with the help of his friends,girlfriend and coach.

Stallone is not one of my favorite actors and I think that He is fall down now but with this character He do a good job and an entertain film.Other actors like Thalia Shire,Carl Weavers or Burt Young are correct.Burguess Meredith and his role like Mickey is not the main character but he do a great acting.

Rocky I is the best in the saga because it is the most Original and present us a Fresh film.

Wes Craven make a good job in this sequel and last Freddy film (Now in the crossover with Jason).

New Nightmare is a good Final for the series because there is a story in Heather's real life.Now Nancy does not fight for fiction,Heather fight for save her son Dylan (Good role by the young Miko Hughes) and herself.

the series was reinventing in this film because its originality and fresh screen do a new good chapter in the series.

"NIGHTMARE 7":Original.

It is not the most original but it is the most funny.Freddy's Death is a very good directed film in the series,which 3-D scenes are cool when it came out (1991).

This film,with a independent story (it is not into the Nancy's series and Alice Johnson's one)has a correct plot and correct actors in perhaps the second best movie in the series.

It is very funny at the beginning when it appears a sentence by Nietzsche and then a Freddy's sentence.

"NIGHTMARE 6":Good film.

The fifth part of "Nightmares" it is not an important film to the Series but it looks like better than the second part.

Alice Johnson believes that her horror finishes but one day Freddy is back and she has to win again for save his children life.

The Alice Johnson saga ("Nightmare 4" and "Nightmare 5") has its best moment in the fourth part but the fifth one is an entertain film to watch,sure that could not be your favorite sequel but it is not the worst.

A little bit of comedy an a good comic scene.

"NIGHTMARE 5":Correct film.

"Nightmare 3" is with difference the darkest film of the saga with the first film,there is not the comedy of the rest of the sequels for that could be the best sequel or the worst one.

Could be the best for these reasons

1-Wes Craven did a good screen

2-It continuous with the first film (there is not anything about the second part)

3-Nancy and his father are the best main roles in the saga.

Could be the worst for these reasons

1-If you like the comedy in Horror films and specially in The "nightmares" there is not here and in the first part.

"NIGHTMARE 3":Good

This is the beginning of a great horror film saga,Freddy Kruger,whose film Freddy vs Jason has got a great success,is one of the best killers in the horror film history because it is not the same like other "Monsters" like Scream,Leatherface or Jason.He attack his victims when they can't do anything,in their dreams.

The first film is of course the most original,with a good plot,correct actors and a good final which says to you that there is a second part (perhaps the worst in the saga but it is not awful)

Some of the actors are now very famous (for Example Johnny "Sparrow" Depp)

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1:EXCELLENT,IF YOU ARE AN HORROR FILM FAN,YOU MUST WATCH THIS FILM.

"Nice" is the adjective for this film,"Can't Hardly Wait" carries the spirit of the Teenagers films,I know that it is less famous than American Pie (Perhaps the actors are More friendly for the Watchers)but this film has something good,could be the plot of the party or could be the main actors like Seth Green.

"Can't Hardly Wait" is a film about the nineties,about the friendship and the High School age,for that it look likes as a good alternative to the other teen films.

And one of the best points of the film is the soundtrack,specially the song HIGH by the Great Welsh Band FEEDER.

CAN'T HARDLY WAIT:It is not the movie of the year but it presents nice.

Pirates of the Caribbean is with difference the film of the summer,it is very different like the others and when I watch it,sometimes I think that I watch an old film for example an Errol's one.

I am very happy for it success because pirates film are very entertain but I think that the secret of the hit is the reinvention of the genre and this good,because other films like Cutthroat Island are very classic and pirates of the Caribbean carries the horror zombies to a Pirates film and this remake the stories which are out of time.

I hope that Disney don't make a sequel or prequel because it could destroy the original.

Pirates of the Caribbean:Very Good film.

Trainspotting has all the things that you can ask to a film.

1 Excellent Plot:A point of view of a man who is addicting to drugs and how he try to left it.

2 Excellent Actors: Ewan Macgreggor in his best role,The only good role of Johnny Lee Miller and the funny Ewen Brewner.This film introducing Kelly MacDonald,Who is appearing in the new version of Peter Pan.

3 Excellent soundtrack:Including classics like lust for life by Iggy Pop and Perfect Day by Lou Reed to Songs by the best Britpop Singers like Blur,Pulp and Elastica.

4 Excellent photography:The scene of the Water is cool!

5 Excellent direction: The best film by Danny Boyle With Shallow grave and A life unless ordinary.

TRAINSPOTTING:ONE OF THE BEST BRITISH FILMS OF THE NINETIES

The second part of "les visiteurs" is worse than the first one,but it is not a reason for say that it is an awful film (I have watched worse film than this one)

The film is similar than the other but with new a nice jokes,but the screenwriter would have done a better work.

Jean Reno is a good actor (Leon is his best Role) but Christian Clavier get worse in "les visiteurs 2" because he uses the same way to do the jokes (In asterix he plays better)

"Les visiteurs 2":Good film.

"Les visiteurs" is one of the four good films by Jean Marie Poire with "operation","Anges" and the second film of "les visiteurs".

this film show us a simple comedy about two medieval men who come to the present and they're very lose in their medieval customs.

The actors are great (better than Just Visiting!)and the main musical theme is cool.

The only mistake that this film has,is the remake,which destroy the original film.

"Les visiteurs":An entertaining film for all the family ***/4*

"La Femme de chambre du Titanic" is one of the best film by the spanish director Bigas Luna and my opinion it is the only one.

The reason is because is very different,it is not like the other films,which serve us sex scenes.This film is romantic and present the fantasies of a middle class man (Olivier Martinez)when he win a ticket to the departure of the titanic.There,in England he knows a beautiful woman,Marie,and she pass a night with him in his hotel room.

then,when he returns,He tell stories in the bar and people heard them very carefully so he imagine new stories.

There is no explicit sex like in "Son de mar" or "Jamon,Jamon" and this is good because "la femme de chambre du titanic" Becomes Romantic and perhaps a little bit erotic

"Los Lunes al Sol" is simply real,this film present the life of unemployed people. The roles are excellent too,specially Javier Bardem,who was know in U.S.A with his nomination for "Antes de que anochezca" Fernando Leon repeat the same manners to do cinema like in his previous film "Barrio",which present the problems of three boys,who lives in the outskirts of Madrid The Screen is one of the best of this year.

For that "los lunes al sol" is a great Spanish Film.In my opinion less nice than barrio but More real.
