La leyenda de la Nahuala (2007)
Just give it a try and you won't regret it
I really enjoyed this movie so much that i can't keep writing without stating this in the 1st place: The most terrible flaw of this film is its lousy animation, despise its huge budget, which you can appreciate compared to most Mexican -dare i say Latin American?- animated features, the film still fails big time when compared to world animation standards -like US' or Japan's- or whatever you're used to watch. Being that said, everything else about this film is pure magic, but let's start with the storyline (loosely based in an horror legend from the state of Puebla in Mexico) it's smart and fun, plus it has a few twists and connections that makes it really enjoyable, it has some annoying segments, like the "contest" one, near the end, but just when you were starting to get bored, the movie happily ends, so the run-time of the film is perfect. Characters are terribly fun and eye-candy (you gotta love the fat lady from the bakery and her silly dog) plus characterization and vocal voice from the actors make it just perfect. Music is good, yet not my cup of tea, it's a strange blend of your everyday symphonic soundtrack, with traditional wind bands heard all over Mexico and folklore tunes. Did I mention the lovely representation of architectural style of the city? You just have to check some pictures of Puebla on the internet to see how accurate they are. In short the movie is fun and quite a pleasure to watch, i laughed a lot more than with other supposedly triple A features from the season and is to date, one of my favorite animated features so far!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Point of view of a non-fan (people with friends who are fans read it)
I am not a fan of Harry Potter, so you can trust me when I say this movie is quite good, very easy and fun to watch. Really, I am no Harry Potter fan, let me point my case so you'll believe me in case you're not fans and want to know if you're gonna enjoy your spent money or just throw it away to the garbage. I know the story because now it turns out that all of my friends are fans of the little mage. I saw the first movie since, as a movies fan, i wanted to know what the whole buzz was all about. I became disappointed, i was awfully bored, that was the problem, well that and all the silly situations,i believed none of them, i didn't buy them,i could forgive anything but watching a boring film, seeing a kid finding an invisible cloak is neither new nor fun for me. Of course I didn't watch the sequels, don't mention the books, but as i tell you, i seem to be the one that's wrong, now i have a girlfriend that craves everything that has to do with HP. So here i am, at the movie theater, one hour earlier to the show, i am psychologically preparing myself to watch more of the same unbelievable child tale I saw a long time ago, and they say the movie is about 2 hrs and a half long, damn. After a few silly situations the movie starts getting to a point, more important, it is fun, hey all i wanted was that from the beginning, the characters become somehow real, as real as an adventure movie can be, and the rhythm is perfect, of course, i kept laughing at some others situations, specially at the end, but hey, the overall experience was fine with me, the FX, some really nice photography, real fun characters (the twins despite being total jerks are quite fun), and lots of action, i'm telling you, this is not the ultimate adventure-action-fantasy film of all the time, but even if you don't have a son, girlfriend or friends begging u to go with them because Harry Potter is oh so fantastically marvelous and all way cool, you can seriously watch this film with no regrets, is a solid, agile action paced movie with fine FX and nice music and cinematography, truly fun.
