This film would be better if.....
5 June 2008
The direction was good but the story was weak. This film would be better if the script were more develop. Eduado Verastegui (Jose) was great his character was simple and he has personality, Tammy Blanchard (Nina) I think that her character was good but not complete I want to know more about her, and how was the relationship with her boyfriend? none of this was mention unless I missed something but anyways I like the idea and how the family get together and enjoy as a family that was very nice. During the movie few things were odd to me like Nina and Jose it seems that they were dating before because when Jose takes her to his parents house his parents seems that they know her. The movie went too fast because everything happen in one day except the end which I thought was confused because if many years have past Jose appearance did not change which I thought was a goof.

A good one
31 May 2008
Ladron Que Roba A Ladron is a good Latino film with a Telenovela cast (soap opera) Colunga, Lisazo, Montero, Soto and Varoni. The story, the direction and the acting were good as well with some funny moments. Few things I like about the film is how the movie begins believe it or not does things happen.

I was expecting for more and my only complaint about this movie is that the actors need to challenge themselves a little bit more and break up the "Telenovela" type of look they have so that we can see that they are up to something different.

I hope I make myself clear on this, anyways overall they make a good movie made for TV.

Unforgettable
22 March 2008
I saw this movie days after Marion Cotillard won her Golden Globe Award in the category of musical/comedy and I was surprised because I thought it would go to Ellen Page (Juno). When Cotillard got her nomination for the Academy Awards I knew she was going to win.

She did an unforgettable and beautiful performance portraying Edith Piaf, her transformation was awesome. The reason I love this film is how the story begin and how it ends, to see how much Piaf suffered from her childhood through her last days is memorable.

La Vie en Rose is a brilliant film, very emotional about love, tragedy, and most of all about a woman that life was no regrets.

Great Film
18 March 2008
I haven't seen any other movie made by the Coen brothers No Country for old men is the first one and what can I say? This film is great, knowing that two people directed is unbelievable, how did they come up with something so fear? The Cinematography, the cast, the script everything is well done.

After watching this movie I only can think of is Javier Bardem performance. He is just perfect every time he is on screen you don't know what to expect from him, he is a great actor. I have seen his work before and he is just amazing, he deserve all the awards he won.

No Country for old men falls in an genre that is not my favorite but just because is really a good one I recommend to people to go and see it for themselves why is a favorite.

An amazing film
9 February 2008
There will be blood is an amazing film, I was impressed by the talent of director Paul Thomas Anderson from start to finish this movie is great along with the score, the script and the beautiful cinematography.

Daniel Day-Lewis is extremely powerful as Daniel Plainview, his performance is astonishing, the way he express himself and how he look at people tells you that he is an ambitious men. The relationship between father and son(Plainview) is well manage also every single line and scene in the movie is just beautiful.

Towards the end I felt disconnected to the story maybe because it is a long movie but other than that There will be blood is a great work of art.
