This is developed in the film but I feel that it is not given full relevance, that moment in Cambodia where scenes of the film were shot seems to me sublime and it is at that moment where I see my favorite character, the woman of my dreams. Lara is very sensual, I do see this in the films and I greatly appreciate being able to see her curves as a woman. Fortunately that era is not like the current one where they are practically restricting the fact that female attributes are highlighted, which affects me greatly because this has nothing to do with the debates in real life, it has to do with the essence of the character and this requires to be voluptuous, attractive and in the film I see these characteristics which makes me very happy.
I know I will not have enough time to see all the films nominated for the Oscar Awards to be presented next Sunday, but there is no doubt that most of the nominated films I have seen so far have a great quality and each one has important characteristics that make them excellent and I must say that before seeing "Tár" I thought that the only remarkable thing was the performance of Cate Blanchett and although she is very relevant in this film, I must say that the work of Todd Field surprised me a lot; his way of showing and developing this story from the point of view of an artist, genius, teacher, successful, who with his experience, knowledge and passion for what he does, tries to teach those who are limited in reaching a potential, but also takes advantage just because of who he is in a community; It is something that makes every viewer, whatever generation they belong to, think how right or how wrong they can be to see those experiences that the main character of this story has; I think that is the important thing about this film which is more than a great performance, it is a very good story that should have much more recognition than many other films because as I have said on several occasions, it creates a debate and not a battle of generations.
(Review) Chappie - Artificial intelligence can be more human than you are
Impressive performances: The film features a stellar cast, including Sharlto Copley as the voice and movement of Chappie, I personally really like this actor's work in the movie Sector 9 and here he also shines in the role of Chappie, Hugh Jackman as a rival engineer who I was actually quite impressed to see him as the bad guy or the antagonist of a movie, I was constantly used to seeing him as a hero, but he does an impressive role and Dev Patel as the creator of Chappie, this actor I think had a weak role and the ending was crazy, but I still liked his performance. The performances of all of them are impressive and add depth and emotion to the story. And of course how can I forget the legendary performance of Ninja and Yolandi, who after watching the movie I was hooked on their music hahaha xD.
In this movie we can see how is the beginning and the creation of the suit, the various powers, skills and each of the aspects that our superhero will have, also know how to control it, because the slightest mistake can cause many problems and perhaps ruin everything, also could not be left out that rivalry and envious people who always wants to take all the credit and that does not have to be so, because he does not know all the work and effort that was put to achieve everything is for fame, money and be the best of all creating his prototype suit. Even if we get carried away by all those scenes that are loaded with lots of action and we can appreciate an excellent production work to take this movie to another level.
🎬✨ Mi Opinión Sobre: Sombra y Hueso 💛🖤 || 🎬✨ My Opinion About: Shadow and Bone 💛🖤
As the series is based on two books, there are other characters that could be considered main characters, however in my opinion the story of the book of Shadow and Bone is the one that stands out the most, although I haven't read the other book so I can't confirm that this is really the case, even so the characters I just mentioned are the ones that stood out the most to me. There are certain aspects of the plot that I didn't like so much, almost all of them related to the changes from the book to the series, one of them is Alina divulging Kirigan's real name and Kirigan telling her so soon in the series, because in the books that moment was quite special, however the change that most marked and disgusted me was the change of the bone amplifier, because aesthetically it looked horrible 🤦🏻♀️, and I understand that the intention was perhaps to show the atrosity of that act, but I always imagined a very imposing necklace not that ugly thing they did. Something that really deserves credit is the visuals, the special effects and the care they took in the costumes, which was something quite characteristic of the story, in fact for a moment I was afraid that Alina's power would not be seen well on stage, but as I said the effects were very well cared for.
The Movie A Winning Family /La Película una familia ganadora
Something that stands out from this movie in its life lesson is a great lesson for all parents, the great job they did raising their daughters is incredible, it really shows the great effort and determination of their parents. Although the film focuses on the two tennis players, it also highlights the training that their sisters had as they were a large family. The greatest credit goes to the parents who, despite the economic difficulties and the adversities of the environment, managed to create a family with great values. , something that many parents can learn. I believe that this film highlights the importance of our children having a good education, especially from their parents, and building a solid foundation from their childhood can help them forge a better future. Thanks to everything that their parents instilled in them since they were little, the girls managed to reach the necessary maturity to take on all the challenges of life.
Life takes many turns and in one of those, Javier and his best friend's girlfriend crossed paths in a night of parties and drinks that would change everything and turn their lives upside down. What would you do in a situation like this? Would you confront even your best friend to be with the person you think is the one? In theory there is only one right answer, but in practice it's hard to say what you would do in a situation like that. They say that a friend's girlfriend has a mustache and a friend's boyfriend is just another friend, but we know that in the movies as well as in real life, it happens more than it should and even though there are many diplomatic and socially correct solutions, whatever decision is made, in the best case scenario only one of us will get hurt, because it is inevitable that someone will suffer.
Wild - a journey through suffering (and nature) to reach rehabilitation
My personal memorable moment of the movie is the scene where Cheryl is changing clothes after meeting two creepy hunters. She is changing clothes and suddenly she screams of fear while we see the camera turning around and pointing towards one of the two hunters who was spying on her from the bushes... he starts talking to her and being very direct about her clothes and her being very pretty, showing too much attention and interest, which could clearly lead to a sexual assault being them alone in the middle of the forest. The girl is clearly scared and terrorized, and tries to be as nice and polite as possible, appealing to the humanity of the hunter... nut this doesn't seem to work and when everything seems to be going in the wrong way, a voice from far (the other hunter) calls him and tells him to get back.
Serie Review: The Law According to Lidia Poët / Serie Review: La Ley Según Lidia Poët
Another thing I enjoyed watching the series was the costumes, more specifically the dresses of the protagonist. Each dress represents her personality, daring, challenging, sensual, dangerous, and rebellious. I even get to observe a kind of wide pants, which give her a little more freedom than the skirt of a dress, which I thought was a nice detail, since that inspires independence from the world of men. I appreciate that this part of feminism is subtly included, the series doesn't go around with obsessive feminism, but her personality and story include feminism in a fairly homogeneous and natural way. It makes women’s empowerment feel very inspiring.
I love this movie. I am sure I'll watch it again and again. I love the different scenes that had quotes and solid street advice. The most tripping part was how cryptocurrency was introduced as a money-moving mechanism, and Zaire mentioned it's easy to make money than to move money especially when Law Enforcement will be on their butts. Poochie, introduced Zaire to a boy, he called, Crypto, and he helped them secure the bag by using Coinbase to invest their money while he gets 2%.
Movie Review: Evil Dead Saga, Del Terror a la Comedia/From Horror to Comedy
This is supposed to be the director's first film, it's understandable that the budget was considerably low, however, I feel they did a relatively decent job with everyone on the set (both the director and the actors) being pure rookies. The story feels a bit forced and almost ridiculous, that lonely forest and that cabin in not very good condition generates a certain degree of repulsion, it's amazing how the guys don't find the environment weird at all. However, we are talking about the late 70's, at that time there were not many horror movies of that style, only "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" which is the most representative of those years.
In this film, Al Pacino played one of his most heartbreaking and defining roles: As Tony Montana, Al Pacino's character is both fascinating and repulsive. Montana is an ambitious man who will do whatever it takes to get to the top, including violence, deceit and betrayal. The film begins in the 1980s with Montana's arrival in Miami as a Cuban refugee during the Mariel exodus. Soon after, he becomes involved in drug trafficking and begins his meteoric rise to power and money. As he gains more and more power, Montana becomes increasingly paranoid and violent, which ultimately leads to his downfall. The story is tense and full of violence, but there are also moments of humor and romance to balance the tension. The chemistry between Al Pacino (Tony Montana) and Michelle Pfeiffer (Elvira Hancock) is evident and the dynamic between the two characters is well portrayed. The entire cast is convincing, but Pacino's performance stands out.
This film tells us about young love, the one we enjoy but we see it as the prologue of the sentimental history of life. Claire was afraid because her mother had a bad time with her father and those reflections of childhood we always express with our partners, so I don't blame her in a way I understand her although I don't justify leaving something that is healthy and makes her happy, just because from the beginning she was determined to do so, although I liked the resolution that is open.
A movie with so much potential, but with a rather underwhelming ending. I was really disappointed with the ending of it. The acting was also sub-par. At some point, it felt like it was a situation of making do with a scene. One thing that I think could have made this movie a lot better is the addition of more soundtracks to some scenes. I mean, I have seen how transformative music can be to a movie scene. This was sorely lacking. This movie could have had a better rating with just a little tweaks here and there.
Congratulations to everyone that was chosen, and thank you to everyone posting in Movies and TV Shows! We look forward to the next report and highlighting even more of you.
