December 2007



I was looking forward to see ‘Stardust’ at the cinema since I saw the first trailers and I have to say that it was even better of what I was expecting, despite what reviewers say. This is not the usual fantasy movie with orcs and warriors packed with mind-blowing special effects. Instead, is a wonderful told fairy tale with nice characters that will appeal to children and adults.
It has a very enjoyable and romantic plot with good humor throughout it. It is about a young man who makes a promise to his beloved that he’ll retrieve a fallen star. Charlie Cox and Claire Danes make a wonderful couple as the main cast in the movie. Michelle Pfeiffer, beautiful as always, does a good villain; but my favorite will have to be Robert De Niro’s role as ‘Captain Shakespeare’, the “ruthless” pirate! :)
If your looking for a wonderful fantasy tale with some good action, adventure and romance, then this is the one!

I just saw Transformers the movie and was blown away. Definitely for me THE best movie of the year.
Visual effects are just amazing… although I was getting confused all the time which robot is which when they where fighting. Storyline is good and engaging. Is not just a visual effects fest and is not much away from the original animated movie. It introduces the viewers to the transformers story, and how they interact with the world and delivers their personalities and relationships between them and the humans. All in a very good and fun way, instead of focusing only in action sequences from the start.
The cast is great. Everybody fits nicely and has the appropriate humor and seriousness for their part. I liked the main guy, Shia LaBeouf. Has an appropriate innocence and good humor for his role. As for the main girl, Megan Fox… a pleasure to watch! :)
Directed by Michael Bay, one of my favorite directors, so it was not a surprise that the direction for Transformers was a great one. Good action sequences, blended with nice slow pace motions, with humor and dramatic elements. He always makes great entertainment and makes sure that the music fits perfectly with the direction.
Overall, this movie is purely amazing and can’t wait for the sequel.
