Joyeux Noel

English Title: Happy Christmas
Christian Carion, France+others, 2005, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas

Comment:
It's just too long! and the last hour difficult to digest peacefully. It's a pity that a nice true event film became a totally "chick flick".

Daniel Alfredson, Sweden+others, 2009, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas

Comment:
As I told you guys not to waste your time watching any film of this trilogy, I also won't waste mine reviewing this film that it is the worst of the three!!
BTW, I just realized that the first film (the less worst of the three) has a different director... maybe that's why it was less worst ;/

Okuribito

English Title: Departures
Yojiro Takita, Japan, 2008, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas
Comment: It has a great great beginning!! but then it was soo soo soooooo sooooooo... mmmm... what word can I use.... maybe "cheesy"??!!! It's very disappointing that having such a great story you end up with such a terrible plot's development. What really got my nerves was that they played the game: "let's make them cry so they feel that the films has touched them" and in fact you cried a lot of times.... but I cried because the situation and the subject it self is sad ... ah! I also cry in the end for having waisted my time and tears!

Perder es cuestion de metodo

English Title: The Art of Losing
Sergio Cabrera, Colombia, 2004, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas
Comment: It's a good story but suddenly in the last part of the film, everything happens in a hurry without showing too much about how or when. The actors did a terrible job despite being good (I've seen them some other times and they aren't that bad!!). The only thing I like was the sound track.

La vida secreta de las palabras

English Title: The Secret Life of Words
Isabel Coixet, Spain, 2005, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas
Comment: This film has lots of awards. You have a go and judge your self. I thought it was boring. The story started interesting but turns out to be a boring film (to me). I think that the last 15 minutes were very poor.... very!

Letyat Zhuravli

English Title: The Cranes are Flying
Letyat Zhuravli, Russia, 1957, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas
Comment: Before saying anything (and before Hrishi finish his friendship with me), I have to clarify three things here: First, I'm not fan of black and white films; don't ask me why but they make me feel sleepy somehow. Second, I'm not fan of 50's films either; It's a pity as I know that the are great films on those dates but... sorry, can't help it.  And third, I don't like war movies and that's a fact!. I think I got tired of watching so much Vietnam's war films in the 80's and 90's that somehow I just can't stand them anymore; I know that there are a lot of war types and a lot of stories' war types but... I just had enough of war!. So, considering that this film is a combination of the three things I don't like, you can understand why I didn't like it. However the film has great reviews and won some good awards (including my beloved Cannes). So, you go, have a look and let me know what you think.... Hrishi, you own me your review on this one!

Le Fate Ignoranti

English Title: His secret life
Ferzan Ozpetek, Italy, 2001, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas
Comment: I'm going to be tough with this film for one reason: I felt that the director wanted to make an Almodovar film and that, to start with, is really disappointed. There were a lot of empty spaces in the story where the characters end up in situations or doing things that didn't have much explanation.The story is good though.

English Title: RocknRolla
Guy Ritchie, UK, 2008, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas
Comment: Same subject?! again?! Boring! Maybe I am a bit unfair with this review as the movie is not that bad but tbh I'll expect that Guy Ritchie comes with something new! By far, Snatch and Two Smoking are so much better!...b y f a r! To top I was watching the film with this guy behind me that didn't stop laughing without a reason!!!!!uuugggrrr!!!!what a pain!
