They call me fate

After watching Il y a longtemps que je t'aime for the first time (la première fois) I learned that today is Kristin Scott Thomas's birthday. Joyeux anniversaire!!

By the way... what a performance.

Those sixty-minutes portions of time...

She bought the flowers herself.

She did not shift the flours herself.

She... She just did it herself.

Opening 22nd May / Prejudices without Pride

Films that opened yesterday in Zaragoza:

1. Good: WWII once again... Not seeing it.

2. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian: This is very appealing for one single reason AMY ADAMS. Still, it looks terrible. Not seeing it.

3. Vratné lahve: What is this? I like lesser known movies to arrive here but I tend to like it more when I have heard about them. Not seeing it.

4. Pranzo di Ferragosto: Italian movie about what to do with old people on holidays. Is leaving them at a gas station demodé? Probably not seeing it.

Another boring weekend I'll spend watching Nine's trailer.

I couldn't help it...

Opening 15th May / Prejudices without pride

The movies opening in Zaragoza today are:

1. Angels & Demons: Never saw The Da Vinci Code, but I read the book and it was entertaining crap. Crap nevertheless. Not seeing it.

2. Cosas insignificantes: Mexican-Spanish film I've heard nice things about. No butterflies in my stomach anyway. Probably not seeing it.

3. Salt of this sea: Some movie I never heard about. I have not an opinion. Probably not seeing it.

4. Fighting: This looks plainly embarrasing. Not seeing it.

Baaaaad weekend. I'll stay at home watching Nine's trailer over and over and over again.

Shame

What a moving (and disturbing) movie! I loved it. It won the top prize at Málaga and it could have some luck with the Goyas. Amazing performances, a great script, beautiful cinematography... The second great Spanish film of the year (last year none of which I saw were beyond 7.5/10). Really, really good.

Opening 8th May / Prejudices without Pride

Movies opening today in Zaragoza:

1. Genova: Michael Winterbottom's film with Colin Firth and Catherine Keener. I haven't made up my mind on my desires to see it. Probably not seeing it.

2. Hannah Montana: The Movie. With nearly 7000 votes it has an average of 2.7/10 on Imdb. It could have 10/10, I wouldm't be caught dead at a theatre watching it. Not seeing it.

3. Last chance Harvey. I've been wanting to see this ever since I learned it existed. Seeing it.

4. Séraphine. The Slumdog Millionare in France (7 César awards). Not very appealing anyway. Probably not seeing it.

5. Star Trek. Never in my life have I seen anything related to the Star Trek franchise. Will my avoidance continue? Who knows? Probably seeing it.

6. Fly me to the moon. Flies. In the moon. Animated film. And it's not Up. Not seeing it.

A mildly interesting weekend...

God save the Blunt!!

She knows how to act...

I'd go back into the closet...

...to find Sulley there.

Not enough blood...

... to fill up a milkshake cup. I liked it. Not loved it.

Volver a Volver

"Hoy me es remotamente imposible"

Like May Water (May)

Boredverine

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is actually in my Top 5 of movies of 2009. Did I mention I've only seen five movies? God, this was boring!!!! Hugh!! More The Fountain and less Wolverine!!
Really, if every slow motion scene had been at actual pace the movie would be three minutes long. The plot is boring, characters are boring, performers are either boring or bored (with the exception of Hugh, he looks like he had a great time shooting), dialogues are simply embarrasing...
The movie is bad and what's worse: boring!!!!!

Gran Torino sucks

I'm a bully!!

Let the right one in is a MASTERPIECE. Loved it.

Though the actor playing the old bully looks exactly and disturbingly like me. I haven't found any pics yet but if I do I'll give proof. Scary...

Both main actors are amazingly natural. Gifted kids.

Anyway the movie is great, great, great.

A winter tale in the middle of spring...

First Tomaz Pandur's Hamlet, and now Mendes's Winter's Tale... The Bard knew for sure what he was doing. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Rebecca Hall is my new goddess (and I touched her!!). Great play. Great play. Great play.

Opening 30th April / Prejudices without Pride

Movies opening today in Zaragoza:

1. 17 again: Do I need to type anything at all? I'm a petulant pseudo-critic. Not seeing it.

2. The Young Victoria: I'm hoping this is not The Duchess 2 because I am Seeing it.

3. La vergüenza: Won Best Movie at the Málaga Festival and it stars Alberto San Juan (with whom I have a picture!!!). Maybe seeing it.

4. Un buen hombre: A Spanish thriller I'm not interested in. Not seeing it.

5. Zweiohrüken (Un conejo sin orejas): A German romantic comedy. Looks cute. Maybe seeing it.

6. Wolverine: Even petulant pseudo-critics have weaknesses. Hugh Jackman is mine. Seeing it.

Not a bad weekend after all...

I fell in love!

With both Gael García Bernal and Charlotte Gainsbourg. The science of sleep is a precious movie.

It had been lying around in my bedroom and I finally decided to see it. And I was amazed. Soooooooooooo beautiful!!!!

Two months and three days after...

Wandering about on Imdb (who doesn't do it?), I ended up on Kate Winslet's profile. And she has no new projects. Not even those secret ones you have to pay to see (they call it Imdb pro...). Ms. Mendes won the oscar two months and three days ago and she looks in no urge to get a second one.

Her fellow winners think otherwise. Heath Ledger obviously has no new projects but The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is opening at Cannes, so he may be getting awards again.

Pé has already appeared in Almodóvar latest Los abrazos rotos (and has a cameo in La concejala antropófaga) which will be competing at Cannes. She's also done voicework for a seemingly terrible movie where hamsters speak and of course sings and dances in Nine.

And last but not least Mr. Penn seems not to be getting a third next year. He has four projects but all of them to be released in 2010 (the year when Sex and the City 2 is getting all Oscars). The tree of life, Fair Game, Cartel and The Three Stooges.

Anyway, Kate get your ass off your couch and do some movies, I love them!!!

Opening 24th April / Prejudices without Pride

Eight (!) films open today in Zaragoza.

1. 25 kilates: A Spanish comedy I had never heard about. Not seeing it.

2. Let the right one in: YES!!! When we thought we had to wait for the DVD... Seeing it.

3. El niño pez: Lesbians not publicited... Ellen should be complaining. Not seeing it.

4. Fuga de cerebros: Brains of the writers have really gone away. One of the jokes in the trailer is about fingers up an ass... Not seeing it.

5. Smother: Diane Keaton in yet another motherly comic role. Ehem... Not seeing it.

6. Ponyo on the cliff: Still debating in my head whether this would be worth it. Probably not seeing it.

7. Rudo y Cursi: Gael García Bernal's beauty can make me watch some things. Not this film. Not seeing it.

8. The International: Clive & Naomi. Thriller. Mixed feelings. Probably seeing it.

Stuff her!!

Saw State of Play... It's a very entertaining film and the two actors with vagina are adorable for different reasons.
Rachel McAdams is so cute they should make stuffed Della Fryes (with the pen neklace as a complement).
Helen Mirren should wash her mouth with soap, the funniest thing in the movie.
And those with penises...
Crowe is... fat. I forgot he was Russel Crowe and that's always a good thing.
Affleck is... Affleck. Not a compliment.

Opening 17th April / Prejudices without Pride

This particular Friday I was hoping to see released:
1. Let the right one in
2. The flight of the red balloon
None of them have opened in Zaragoza. Jai Ho! We're such lucky Spaniards!

The films we can see are:

1. Race to Witch Mountain, which looks quite terrible (The Rock???). Not seeing it.

2. State of play, which should be great if the universe doesn't wish my funeral. Seeing it.

3. Bill, in which Aaron Eckhart looks gorgeus and Jessica Alba keeps pretending she's an actress. Not seeing it.

Bad, bad, bad, bad weekend!!!!

Not a virgin anymore...

...on David Lynch films. Piece of crap or masterpiece? I wouldn't know what to say. For sure, nothing in between.

Believing in Thalia

The cradle has to rock!!!!

Great movie!!!

Loved it!!!!

Believing in Melpomene

A reason to remember why I spend five hours a day, five days a week studying to become an actor. One of the greatest plays I've ever seen. Pedro, Blanca deserves a lead right away!! And Asier a role where he actually can appear...

Opening Easter / Prejudices without pride

The movies that opened in Zaragoza while I was in Paris and Denmark (sort of) are:

1. Al final del camino: Spanish comedy exploiting the fact that the two main actors were a couple in a well-known TV series. Dealing with El Camino de Santiago. Not seeing it.
~~
2. Control: A 2007 (!) movie I don't want to see. Anyway Davigüi will drag me to the theatre. Seeing it.
~~
3. Dragonball Evolution: I remember when I loved Justin Chatwin because he appeared in Lost (in the great-airport-scene episode), now I'll have to pretend I don't know who he is. Not seeing it.
~~
4. Les femmes de l'ombre: What is this? Haven't heard of it ergo I have no prejudices. Not seeing it.
~~
5. Faubourg 36: I loved Les Choristes, but this doesn't look good. Not seeing it.
~~
6. Knowing: Another ridiculous movie with Nicolas Cage. Does this mean the next one will be real? He does true movies from time to time, so when is our next Weather Man coming? Not seeing it.

I'm Enchanted

A little Amy Adams always brings yellow flowers when the sky is grey.

Bees, bees, bees...

I didn't cry after all...

Anyway I enjoyed all the performances.

But I didn't cry...

Opening 3rd April / Prejudices without pride

Movies opening today in Zaraagoza:



1. Fast & Furious: Was this necessary? I don't think so. Not seeing it.



2. The Duchess: Keira Knightley wears corset again... I'm probably loving it. Seeing it.



3. Deception: Bad reviews are powerful (sometimes). They were in this case at least. Two gorgeus actors and yet... Not seeing it.



4. Monsters vs Aliens: When animation doesn't have Pixar or Disney stamped on it, I don't trust it. Not seeing it.

Like May Water (April)

Powerful women drink red blood.
