Lincoln (2012)
"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is one of the worse movies i've ever watched, and "Lincoln" is even WORSE
This is one of the most boring movies i have ever watched, i was expecting something way better, but the whole movie was boring as heck.
I should have rated it much lower, but i gave it 7 out of 10 stars as a rating, only because of Daniel Day-Lewis performance, and i have to recognize that costume design, production design and cinematography were very good too.
I went to the cinema to watch this movie, and actually trying to sit and watch 150 minutes of this movie is a real torture, there were people leaving and some other sleeping, even there were an old couple snoring together.
Allende en su laberinto (2014)
Chilean Downfall!
This movie premiered on last thursday, and i went to watch it today at Cinemark Alto Las Condes. This movie is about the last 7 hours of the former president of Chile Salvador Allende and shows us how Salvador and his collaborators experienced the coup d'etat inside "La Moneda" (Chilean Government Palace) and how they tried to resist the bombing done by the Air Force ordered by the Junta Militar.
I have to say that Daniel Muñoz did a very good job acting as Salvador Allende and also Aline Kuppenheim did a great acting too, but i was really disappointed when i saw the supporting actors and actress, when they were saying the lines they didn't sound real at all.
Miguel Littin has good directing skills, i'm not sure if he wanted to, but this movie is a little bit similar to Der Untergang (downfall), which shows Hitler's last hours inside the Bunker before the allies bombed Berlin.
It's great that this movie finally could be filmed in La Moneda, that made it a little bit more realistic, the problem is that the visual effects aren't good at all, the bombings looks very fake, the fire and the smoke too, and the camera movement is annoying sometimes.
I gave this movie 6 stars out of 10. If you are chilean or you are interested in Chilean history, you should definitely watch it, but don't expect a very good movie.
Gone Baby Gone (2007)
Is it always bad to kidnap a child?
I watched this movie yesterday during the night, i didn't have great expectations of it, but someone told me it was a pretty good movie so i wanted to have my own opinion.
This movie was way better than expected. The movie is about Patrick Kenzie (played by Casey Affleck), a young man who's hired to investigate the case of a missing child in Boston. Every time he goes deeper with his investigation, he finds more questions than answers.
The writing made by Ben Affleck was very very good, he also has very good directing skills and Amy Ryan played so well here character as a drug addict mother. She acted so good, she definitely deserved the Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.
This movie will keep you debating on what is truly right, and it'll make you ask yourself if there's any good reason to do something bad like kidnap a child. Does the end justify the means? Watch the movie and get yourself an opinion.
Now i can't wait to read some of Dennis Lehane's Patrick Kenzie novels.
The Imitation Game (2014)
Arrogant mathematician who shortened the WW2
The imitation game is a movie about the life of Alan Turing and his role working for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. He was a mathematician and computer scientist who was able to crack the Nazi's Enigma code. Benedict Cumberbatch plays very well his role as an arrogant but very smart mathematician. Benedict receives his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor. The film was also nominated for best production design, which was also very good. The imitation game was a bit long, it might be shorter, but anyway i didn't get bored in any minute during the movie. I gave it 9 stars out of 10.
Kreuzweg (2014)
Religious fanaticism at it's most absurd
I went to movies yesterday at Cinehoyts La Reina and Kreuzweg was being played for SANFIC (Santiago Festival International de Cine) in Chile, so i bought a couple of tickets and watched it with a friend of mine.
I had never read or heard anything about this movie before, so i didn't have any good or bad expectation before getting into the cinema.
The movie shows us religious fanaticism as it's most absurd. It really reminded me part of my childhood, when i went until the age of 10 to a protestant school in Santiago de Chile, where teachers said that Iron Maiden was the most satanic rock band in the world or things like that, i remember they said once that even Elton John was a satanic artist xD. Well this film shows us some very similar situations, and maybe for someone who has never experienced it, might believe that this only happens in movies, but, i lived it and i know it, there is lots of this religious fanatics in many schools and families.
The movie is split in 14 chapters, and they tell us about Maria a teenage girl who is about to get her catholic confirmation. The church she is part of, is a church which refuses to be like modern churches, and it considers a sin everything related to modern music, television, social networks, parties, etc, etc... At the beginning of the movie, the priest advised Maria and other students that if they want to get the goodness from God they have to make some sacrifices. Maria got convinced that she had to make a sacrifice in order to get a miracle from god, but she took the advise a little bit too far.
One of the things that really got my attention from this movie, was that the camera isn't moving at all (it just moves a few times and it's almost not noticeable for the viewers).
I'd suggest you to watch it, but don't expect a very good movie, i rated it with 7 stars out of 10, i mean i liked it, but i'm not sure if i would watch it again soon.
Relatos salvajes (2014)
6 hilarious black comedy live action shorts
This Argentinian movie was released in my country (Chile) on last Thursday, and since i heard very good comments about the movie i decided to go to a Cinema at Parque Arauco in Chile and this is what i wrote about it:
The film is split into six unconnected stories, watching each story is around 20-30 minutes long and you feel like you're watching a live action short film. What do they have in common? All of them are a mix between drama and comedy. The script is hilarious, even if the lines are sad, it's so full of black comedy, that there were people rolling on the floor laughing at the Cinema.
I'd write much more about this film, but i think i might be spoiling it, so i prefer to tell you that i can't wait to watch it again. So please do NOT miss it.
