Desnudos (2004)
bad movie
I had been wanting to see this movie for the longest time, and when I finally got to see it, I was very disappointed. I can't believe this is a 2004 film. The picture quality is very bad, and most of the acting is very soap opera like...What can one expect of actors known for soap operas? Rafael Amalla and Carime Lozano did a decent job, but it isn't enough to save the whole film.
The directions sucks, the script sucks, so do not expect too much from this film. This movie makers relied in gratuituos sex to make a good movie. Well, it didn't work.
Rent this movie if you want to see it, but don't waste your money buying it. Gosh, I wish I could get my $12.00 back!
Efectos secundarios (2006)
great Mexican film
I had been wanting to see this movie for the longest time, but it was not available where I live. So, I had to order this online, and I could hardly wait to see it when I got it. Believe me, this movie is worth every penny I paid for it.
This movie is about four people that went to the same school and are about to turn 30 years old. So, they are all going through nostalgic moments at this point. They're asking themselves whether they have fulfilled their life goals or not.
All the acting was great, the characters really grow on you as the story develops. There are moments where you laugh hysterically, and there are those moments that make you feel sad for them.
This movie is a comedy-drama that reminded me a lot of American Beauty. The score is beautiful, and the movie came with the sound-track, so this movie will be one of my favorites in my collection. Mexico has come up with some awesome movies lately. I expect great things for Issa López (the director),as well as all the actors: Marina DE Tavira, Alejandra Gollas, Arturo Barba and Pedro Izquierdo.
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone!
