Morirse está en Hebreo (2007)
Next door miles away
Peeking into Jewish tradition with a Mexican background is not only amusing but it allows the viewer to enter a world that, although may exist next door to any one else living in Mexico City, remains shrouded in mystery for most. In the end I loved the fact that no matter how much the distinct customs of diverse faiths may differ from each other, there's something we all share as inhabitants of this great city which permeates it all and creates a common ground for all of us to exist (and cease existing) in some subtle unity. For any one interested in having a laugh and a peek into Jewish life in Mexico 'Morirse está en Hebreo' is a must along with 'Novia que te vea'.
¿Y tú cuánto cuestas? (2007)
Avoid it unless you're the director
Olallo Rubio used to be a DJ on Mexico City radio just like Alejandro González Iñárritu before him. But while González Iñárritu was innovative and introduced a whole new style to Mexican radio, Olallo was simply a me-too who was just in love with his own voice.
Now Olallo wants to become a movie director (too) so he went out and asked a number of shallow questions to some random people in the US and Mexico and obviously nothing worthy came out of it, just a hodge podge of trivial and frivolous nothingness. But the eternal egomaniac nevertheless tried to make a movie out of all that worthless footage and if you see it you'll regret it.
