Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1973)
Quite Original
OK, so it's not a masterpiece, but it has its moments. At least it's quite original, which is a quality most people don't have... The shots with the seagulls are well achieved, as well the the natural landscapes. The dialogues are a bit basic and one can sense the difficulty of selecting passages from the book (which is magnificent) to put in the movie. It tends to be a little boring towards the end, but it's a one-of. I think everyone who likes movies should see it. As for the music... I think it's suited and powerful enough. BE is a very nice piece. See the movie. (6,5 / 10)
Titanic (1997)
My Generation's Classic!
Although I've always been very keen on movies since my childhood, the ones with such "classic" ingredients like TITANIC were never my thrill. In fact, they were the movies not be seen. I mean... a teenager is not expected to like "Gone With The Wind"... Fortunately one grows old and starts to appreciate movies in another dimension (It's not that I like "Gone With The Wind", I think it's quite ridiculous, nevertheless a masterpiece in its own right and time).
When my first seeing of TITANIC was over, I thought to myself: "Well, well, my generation has a "classic". And what a classic! Excellent." I was absolutely overwhelmed. We all knew the story, so the finale would not be the highlight. You might say it's quite simple, but why complicate love? If I were Jack, I would also fall in love with Rose, like I felt in love with Kate Winslet! But what, you may ask, makes the movie so good? Watch it and enjoy it as a whole!! You'll have the answer three and a half hours later...
Many movies I've seen since TITANIC, many more are to come. So far, this is the one, the movie of my life.
Ronin (1998)
The Best Car Chase Movie Ever Made!!
Well, I don't have much to say about this movie. However, two things come to my mind. ONE, it's the best car chase movie ever made (really, it is). Only this, makes it worth seeing. It seems that the rest of the scenes are there just to warm you up for the next car chase. Forget "Gone in 60 seconds", "The Fast and the Furious" and others like (unless you're keen on tunning). TWO, it combines the american tecnology and "know how" with the european scenario and charm. Oh, by the way, an espionage movie starring Robert De Niro and Jean Reno... need I say more? Enjoy it! I'm sure you will.
