Azuloscurocasinegro..


Azuloscurocasinegro or DarkBlueAlmostBlack is another movie some of you might like to watch. Directed by Daniel Sánchez Arévalo, it show a life of Jorge, who's stuck in a job he doesn't like, having to take care for his father after his stroke, having issues with his (girl)friend/neighbor, dealing with his brother while he's in and out of prison and having to impregnate his brothers girlfriend.
It's a easy movie, there's no one really big climax or center point, but it's in no way boring either. It has a steady pace, great transitions, equality on all sets and segments. It pulls you in, often makes you try to identify with the main character and at least one of the problems he faces. Acting is really good, script is well written, makes it really hard to find a bathroom break.
It's a life story, from ups and downs as we all know them. I'd give it 8/10.

The secret life of words


I've been read some interesting stuff about this movie and thought I should keep an eye on it. Well, I finally saw it. And I liked it. In a way it's a mix of one of my favorite movie Lost in Translation and An Officer and a Gentleman. Starring the lovely Sarah Polley and Tim Robbins, it show the story about getting through life's obstacles, either physical or emotional. It's a "dialog" movie, there are no special effect and stuff like that, just great script and great acting. Directed by Isabel Coixet and produced by Pedro Almodóvar. If you get a chance, check it out. I'd give it 9/10.
