Who is it?

It's Be!

It's Be who won the Bet award for female R&B Artist and Video of the Year for Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it). And she's gorgeus in that Balmain. She should be nominated for a Best actress Oscar for Obsessed (ehem...).

I do!!

I would certainly marry Betty Draper.

By the way, these two look alike...

Some couture dresses are movies...

Chanel...

Chanel...

oops! This is Dior... (but Nine is sure Haute Couture)

On the other hand some movies...

...are just cheap Prêt-à-Porter.

Let's be proud

If Lars von Trier has taught us something...

...is that being good is completely pointless.

Isn't that so, Bess?
Isn't that so, Selma?
Isn't that so, Grace?

The oscar to the beautiful yet useless cinematography goes to...

... Mihai Malaimare Jr.

(Cinematography in this film is beautiful though the photo I've found is flat as Nicole Richie)

Un long vendredi de examen de français

J'éspere ne rater pas...

Opening 26th June / Prejudices without Pride

The movies opening the last weekend of the first half of the year in Zaragoza are:

1. LOL (Laughing Out Loud): French comedy about technologies isolating us instead of connecting us ( I guess, I really have no idea). Last French comedy I remember didn't really do it for me. Still... Maybe seeing it.

2. St. Trininan's: Rupert Everett dressed as a woman, some Bond girl and Colin Firth... No reasons to love it, no reasons to hate it. Not seeing it.

3. Tetro: Coppola's (the father) latest film. It opened at Cannes and it stars Spanish actresses Maribel Verdú (Jai ho!) and Carmen Maura (yay!). Seeing it.

4. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Megan Fox's breasts and huge robots fighting each other. For the second time. Not seeing it.

Not a great weekend but I really want to see Tetro so... yay!

Stuff her!! (p.2)

We want a stuffed Marta Etura, or maybe a talking Barbie-esque doll.

Pilar Castro is hilarious as well in this movie but Marta is a little (very little) more adorable.

And Cristina Alcázar needs an almodovarian role right now!!

We were a few and grandma gave birth...

Next year there will be 10 best picture nominees at the Oscars.

WTF?

Maybe they try to include a wider range of films like animation or superhero movies.

It will be harder to guess the nominees. More fun. Yay!!

Musical Moments (p.3)

She didn't have testicular cancer

But apparently she enjoys chopping heads off...

Anyhow, she's just lovely.

Thoughts I had while watching Obsessed

1. They don't waste any time. Main characters are introduced under three minutes

2. Worst hair choice for Beyoncé since The Fighting Temptations (The best was Austin Powers of course).

3. Are gay characters still portrayed like this in 2009?

4. Are female characters still portrayed like this in 2009?

5. Are characters in general still portrayed like this in 2009?

6. Ali Larter is pretty.

7. Ali Larter's hair is always perfect.

8. Ali Larter looks a little like Naomi Watts when she smiles while crying.

9. Ali Larter's chin is slighty longer than usual chins.

10. Bruce MacGill!! He had a gay puppy in Legally Blonde 2!!

11. Reese Witherspoon has a special chin as well.

12. I hope detectives like that one don't exist in the real world. The crazy lady who worked two weeks for you knew your name THEREFORE you slept with her. Oh, these flowers are beautiful THEREFORE you are not crazy, lady.

13. I hope babysitters like that one don't exist in the real world. Oh, you put a phone up to your ear THEREFORE it's O.K. for you to be here, come on in, kidnap the baby I'm babysitting...

14. Why do they keep calling the detective? She's obviously out buying flowers.

15. I love the monkey that wrote this script.

16. OMFG, the gay character is back to spread some more gossip, and he doesn't even get stalked. So unfair...

17. Beyoncé is actually growing as an actress. Wait, she just looked like she was shot when she forgot her purse. I said nothing.

18. Yay, the fight is about to start, Ali Larter is touching everything maliciously...

19. That fight was a little Tex Avery-esque (not my thought but Davigüi's).

20. Thank God (i.e. Beyoncé) we already knew the movie was crap. We had a great time! It's hilarious...

Opening 19th June / Prejudices without Pride

It's been ages since I've been in a movie theater (since Coraline), but the rare conjunction of exams and not-so-interesting films has wanted it that way. Will the openings of this weekend change my DVD dependance? Let's see:

1. Zack and Miri make a Porn: This looks fun and Elizabeth Banks is so lovely... Probably seeing it.

2. Cher Ami: Spanish animation based on WWI (!?). This is too much for me. Not seeing it.

3. Inkheart: I haven't read Cornelia Funke's books (but I have an edition of The wizard of Oz which is introduced by her) but I tend to dislike youth-books made youth-films. Not seeing it.

4. New in Town: What is going on with Renée Zellweger? She used to be so cool (stop laughing Deivith!). Chicago, Cold Mountain, Down with Love... Why is she playing this Kate Hudson role?!?! Not seeing it.

5. Le premier jour du reste de ta vie: French drama about a family (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime 2?). Looks kinda good. Maybe seeing it.

6. Obsessed: I know it's bad. But it's BEYONCÉ. And if Beyoncé was in The Pink Panther 3, you'd see me down at the movies, waiting to go in. I'm OBSESSED with BEYONCÉ. Seeing it.

Not a great evening but it's almost end of exams so I'm loving it!!

Why say sex when you mean love?

Welcome to Shortbus...

Opening 12th June / Prejudices without Pride

Being immersed in a world of Brechtian plays and christenings, I had forgot to judge the movies opening last Friday in Zaragoza. Which are:

1. 7 minutos: Spanish comedy I'm really attracted to, for no specific reason whatsoever, though Marta Etura and Asier Exteandía might have something to do. Seeing it.

2. Cleaner: Some sort of thriller with Samuel L. Jackson (bad) Ed Harris (good) and Eva Mendes (bad in movies, good in interviews). Not seeing it.

3. Hexe Lilli, der Drache und das magische Buch: Based on the books by Lilli the witch (in Spain it was called Kika (?), maybe a nod to Almodóvar). I kinda hated the books (my sister loved them) and the movie looks worse. Not seeing it.

4. Pandora'nin kutusu: Turkish indie movie that would most likely bore me to death and resurrection. Not seeing it.

5. No-Do: Spanish horror movie. No, thanks. Not seeing it.

6. I love you, man: I loved Paul Rudd when he was Phoebe's husband and if this comedy is not too much scatologic, I'll probably enjoy it very much. Probably seeing it.

Not a very intersting weekend but not to die either.

Ice-cream melts in the Sunshine

To the ballots!!

Today, 7th of June, we Europeans voted for the European Parliament. After performing my right to vote I thought what movies about politics I liked, and the first one that came to my mind was Legally Blonde 2. I learnt so many things watching that movie... Like, someday I'll marry Jennifer Coolidge and we'll adopt Margot & Serena.

I saw this one before Legally Blonde and I fell in love with Elle Woods. Sometimes I even ask myself: "What would Elle do?".

She's my Jesus Christ!!

After all, I own a chihuahua named Bruiser...

Pain

Pain comes in a lot of ways:

Not knowing what fluorescent means.

Watching seals get clubbed.

Losing stuff in a fire.

Not being able to change a route.

Missing the Serenity prayer.

Ignoring a chance to do the right thing.

Not accepting the good.

Accept the good. Because they'll make you accept the bad.

Other me

After watching Coraline I feel like I have crossed some kind of thresold to end up in a world where great movies are disguised as kids flicks. Coraline is a GREAT film, but not so much for kids. Half of the infants in the theatre where I was watching it cried during the film. To be honest, I'm more than two decades older and at some moments I was terrified. Also, most of the jokes were way too bold for kids even to understand (those two actress neighbours are saucy).

But alas, I'm not a kid so I loved, loved, loved, loved the movie. It's captivating, fascinating, amazing and a lot more of ings.

The characters are all so delicious, all parents, all the neighbours and Coraline herself, the flawed heroine. And everything is soooo beautiful. Every set, every movement, every colour...

I watched it in 3D (my first film viewed this way) and though I enjoyed it, I really didn't feel it necessary.

Definitely one of the movies that will be remembered ten years from now...

Amy, Meryl and some flour, eggs and sugar...

Today I weighed 66.6 Kg. I'm yet unsure if it was a sign from Satan or a sign that I should watch movies about food instead eating the actual food.

Because I have passion, I have ambition, I have butter and I have seen the new poster for Julie & Julia!!! Can't wait!!!

Like May Water (June)

June is the month of the ladies saying it all with the eyes...

wether they look for love,

for revenge,

for a door outside their pain,

for a revolutionary change in design,

for Tetro,

for filthy-made money...

Opening 5th June / Prejudices without Pride

The movies opening in Zaragoza today are:

1. Coco avant Chanel: It's about a designer and I'm gay!! Of course I'm Seeing it. Audrey doesn't hurt either.

2. Jonas Brothers: The 3D concert experience: If those three call this an experience, what will they think once they lose their sacred virginities? I may be gay, but I ain't no gay-teen. Not seeing it.

3. Coraline: Yes! Yes! I'm Seeing it. And loving it by the way...

4. Paraíso Travel: What is this? Yet another Renoir movie with no publicity. Not seeing it. For some reason Imdb says if you liked this one, you'll enjoy The Incredibles (?).

5. Terminator Salvation: I haven't seen any of the Terminator films (à la Star Trek), so I'll probably end up watching this.

Coraline is here, therefore, GREAT weekend!!
