High Fidelity

English Title: High Fidelity
Stephen Frears, UK, 2000, imdb
Review: 1.5 Uchuvas
Comment: I think this movie is very boring. Nothing really happens all along the film. The main character is too boring. The story is not attractive at all. I give all my credits (all of them!) to Jack Black (every single time that he appears, I laughed) without him in the film I would have gave "0" Uchuvas to it. 

Liam

English Title: Liam
Stephen Frears, UK, 2000, imdb
Review: 3.5 Uchuvas
Comment: I saw Far from Heaven's bonus film and I remember they mentioned something about how the design of the set was essential for some scenes as they helped to emphasize the character of the scene. Also I heard somewhere how the camera's location (how high, how low, how close, how far) is also essential when shooting the scene (which it's I guess a basic principle when filming).  All this crap was just to say that in this film the set and the camera's location were amazing. They just made the whole film, especially when talking about religion! BTW I don't know how we survived Catholic education!!!

Dirty, Pretty Things

English Title: Dirty, Pretty Things
Stephen Frears, UK, 2002, imdb
Review: 3.5 Uchuvas
Comment: I can't believe this kind of things happen in real life! I liked Tautou's acting. I think the subject itself is really powerful.
