Dan in real life


Recently I watched this wonderful film , Dan in real life, a film that can touch you deep in side.
Dan (Steve Carell) it's father of three girls, he's wife died four years ago and he'd never dated again.
In this trip to his parent's house he meet Marie (Juliette Binoche) and fell in love with her. The only thing he didn't know was that she is dating his brother Mitch (Dane Cook).
If you want to know what happens, go watch it, it's a really nice film. Different of all the ones I've seen this past few months.

Prime



Sometimes in the afternoon I get a little nostalgic, and the films are the ones that cause this felling. Today Prime was the one. This romantic comedy, sometimes more romantic and others more comedy, it's a really nice film, that can make of your boring afternoon a lovely one.
The story is about Rafi a 37 years old divorced woman, that meet this guy, Dan. They meet each other accidently and after that they start to hang out, after she finds out that Dan is 23 years old, she kind don't take the thing more serious, but she decide to give it a change. The only thing oddly into this relationship is that her therapist is the mom of Dan.
A really sweet film that shows that the happines don't have age.
And the end of the film it's really interesting. If you want to see a nice romance, don't hesitate.

Shelter


Here I am once again writing about another film.
When I saw the DVD of Breakfast With Scot, I saw Shelter related with the film. The poster was nice and I google it and I ended up in the official web site.
The story is about Zach, that lives with his sister and his nephew and his father. He has the dream of get into a art college but thinks that he would never fulfill his dream as he has to take care of Cody (his nephew) and work at a diner.
One day he meet Shaun, brother of his best friend and with him he can find what he really wants.
It's a really delicate film. The opening scene is really great and the soundtrack of the film is really amazing!
If you want to download the song click here!
It's worth see it!

Winged Creatures


For months I've been waiting to see this film and yesterday I could fulfill my wish. Not knowing absolutely nothing about it I just dived into it and had a terrific movie session.
It's a very dramatic film with so many life, so many feelings.
The film starts when the life of 5 people is changed after a gunshot in a diner. And they begin to act very differently.
It's a incredible film that is hard to see in these days. It's worth see it!

The Secret life of bees


It's so hard you find a film where everything is perfect! See, sometimes when a film is good the actors are bad, or the film sucks and the actors were great! But The secret life of bees is perfect in every single details . Dakota is great and I never saw Dakota so great as she is in these film! Queen Latifah is also great as always. Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys and Sophie Okenedo makes the film shine! Is amazing! It's a sensible film, with a delicate story. It's really sad, but this makes the film even better! See the characters life and what they did to move on is really beatiful! The best film I've seen this year!


Here's the trailer :

Waitress


Much like the films of Hal Hartley, Waitress is funny in a deadpan sort of way, but a sadness lurks below the surface. After making a splash in Hartley's The Unbelievable Truth and Trust, Adrienne Shelly turned to directing with Sudden Manhattan and I'll Take You There. Set in a small Southern town, her third picture revolves around waitress Jenna (Felicity's radiant Keri Russell), who works at Joe's Pie Diner (Joe is played by Andy Griffith). Jenna is the pastry genius who makes Joe's joint shine. Her co-workers include the forthright Becky (Cheryl Hines, Curb Your Enthusiasm) and insecure Dawn (Shelly). All three have man trouble, but Jenna has it the worst. Her husband, Earl (Jeremy Sisto, Six Feet Under), treats her like a piece of property. When she finds out she's pregnant, Jenna fears she'll be stuck with him forever. Then, she develops a crush on her married obstetrician, Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion, Serenity). With the aid of her fanciful confections, like peachy keen tarts, their flirtation develops into a full-blown affair. It appears to be a no-win situation, but Shelly finds an empowering way to bring this bittersweet story to a close. If the candy-colored conclusion plays more like fantasy than reality, it's a fantasy worth embracing. Sadly, Shelly was murdered before Waitress ever saw the light of day (leaving behind a husband and child of her own). Fortunately, her final film is far more life-affirming than morose, although it does end with the word "goodbye." --Kathleen C. Fennessy.


This sweet film is so good! The cast is incredible and the story is something that lots of people live through. The search for your happines. I loved this film and the sadess thing is that the writer/director Adrienne Shelly was dead.
Everyone should see it! The original soundtrack is so good!

I won this film from my friend and everytime that I would watch it I took another one and this always was left from later. But yesterday I catch it and put it in my dvd player and started to watch and I have the most incredible experience! This film is so good! Is full with everything that happens every single day with each one of us. This film should be seen by everyone at least once in their lifes.
When the film ends, you start felling "A book club would be great". All the actors are great in the film, they seem not act but be the character, is absolutely fantastic!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall


Just this... awesome!




The Net


The Net, the first of Hollywood's big cyberthrillers of the mid-1990s, was also the most successful, thanks in large part to the natural appeal of star Sandra Bullock. Still riding high from Speed and While You Were Sleeping, Bullock plays a computer expert victimized by sinister cyberforces who steal her identity for reasons unknown. It's a clever combination of high-tech paranoia and Hitchcockian references (including Jeremy Northam as a romantic stranger named Devlin, after Cary Grant in Notorious). Film historians may look back someday on films like this--Roger Ebert calls them "hacksploitation"--to see what they reveal about our society's reaction to the increasing role of technology in our lives, just as we now study the fears of Communism and the atom bomb reflected in films of the 1950s. Dennis Miller and Diane Baker costar. --Jim Emerson

Is watching this "old" films that we see the films from this days aren't quite good as they used to be like ten years ago. This thriller with Sandra Bullock show this. You is surprised every time! So good! Is worth see it!



Across the Universe








Across the Universe, from director Julie Taymor, is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York's Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad. With a cameo by Bono, Across the Universe is "the kind of movie you watch again, like listening to a favorite album." (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times)

This film is excellent! You watch it and you fell so good! The actors are great and the songs are even better! Great film everyone should see it!

Here's one of my favorite scenes!

Running with Scissors


Based on the personal memoirs of Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors is a excellent film. Different of everything you must have seen all these years. But is great! Everyone is shining on the film! Everyone should see this film because the message the film show you is what you need to move on. This scene for me is the best, when the song starts to play you start felling so good and then everything is magic!




I only know this film because my friend gave to me. He has a very good taste for films and this one is great!

Nights in Rodanthe


Nicholas Spark is defineletly a good romance writer. He can touch people very deep and his romances are always something to remember. Nights in Rodanthe is a great film. I loved but I still thinking what on earth Richard Gere is in the film. Maybe is me but I don't think he did a great job there. But after all the film is worth to see and have in your collection.

The sisterhood of the traveling pants films

...I check my air. I don't have as much time as I need to see everything, but that is what makes it so special.

-Bridge to Terabithia-

I wont't say a lot because this film should be seen for everyone. And the great thing of it is that you start to see it and you fell so good, is one of the best films I think that show you the secret to be happy and do what you have to do.






















"You know, the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. That's Teddy Roosevelt said that, not me."









Have you ever seen the sky so beautiful, colorful, wide and wonderful
Have you ever felt the sun shine so brilliently, raining down oh the unity
Have you ever wanted more? (wanted more)

(chorus)
You've got to keep your mind wide open
all the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
believe in what you see

(Verse 2)
Think of all the days you've wasted worrying, wondering, hoplessly hoping
Think of all the time ahead, don't hesitate, continplate, no its not too late
Have you ever wanted more? Don't you know there's so much more

(chorus)
You've got to keep your mind wide open
all the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
believe in what you see

(bridge)
Tomorrows horizons
Full of surprises
Don't let them chase your dreams away

(chorus)
You've got to keep your mind wide open
all the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
believe in what you see

You've got to keep your mind wide open
all the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
believe in what you see
believe in what you see
believe in what you see

Mr. Magorium (Dustin Hoffman) owns and runs the most magical store in the universe, where all of the toys for sale are alive. But, when the aging shopkeeper decides to retire and sell the business to his faithful cashier (Natalie Portman), he hires an uptight accountant (Jason Bateman) to get his affairs in order.

This is a great film. Magical. That everyone must see. My friend Donnie told me about this film and I love it!
