Paul have invited their four adult children and partners to enjoy a weekend,
mix with a lot of food, wine and middle-class disses.
There are surprises, sudden shocks and lot
of laughs. But when you thought the arguments might become a little familiar,

more arrows come flying in and the terrified convocation must organise fast or
face certain death. There is when the main course begins.

Book/ Film: 127 hours
Genre: Drama
Author/ Director: Danny Boyle
Characters/ Actors: James Franco, Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara


Review:

127 Hours it's an american dramatic-suspense genre film based on a real story. It was realized on November 5,2010 after a long effort of Danny Boyle,
the director and Christian Colson, the producer. The protagonist of this film is James Franco, who play the part of Aron Ralston, a young climber who likes to "escape" from the city
in his free time to go to enjoy the landscapes of nature.As secondary actresses, Amber Tamblyn as Megan and Kate Mara as Christie who find Aron in his tragic adventure before the accident.

One weekend, Aron decides to climb, as he used to do it, to clear their problems, however, he didn´t tell anyone where he would go and then that will produce big problems.In his adventure
as a climber, he met two girls, Megan and Chritie, who helps locate and share the afternoon together. Then, Aron decided to resume his own way. While he was exploring, there was a breakdown
that leaves him with his hand stuck on a rock. As the hours go by and he notices that he can't disengaged his hand and the food and water runs out, he will have to taqke a very hard desicion.
During the movie shows all Aron attempts to free the rock, his concern to see that I had no food or water and despair to think that he will die in that place, therefore, he constantly
records a video to his family and friends saying how much he love them and what happens day to day.

While the story is moving, it became a bit long, that makes the film lose emotion because it's too repetitive and makes you want the end quickly.
The set of the film is really good and surprising. The takes of landscapes give the film a high quality.

During the film shows a constant change of cameras, between Director's camera and Aron's camera, that was great and they give a special touch.

In my opinion, 127 hours, it's a very interesting film, with a great and little expected ending, but as I said a bit long for the plot.

The film is about Will, a prodigy boy in mathematics that starts to work in the maintenance and cleanliness of a university. He was intelligent but always causing many problems with his friends. One day he solved a difficult problem of mathematics that the teacher Gerard Lambó put in the blackboard of the corridor of the university. The teacher begins to look for him until he finds him in the jail, proposes him to go out of there under his guardianship in exchange for solving mathematical problems with him. Will gets knows Skylar, of who falls in love and begins a relation. Because of his behavior, the teacher presents his friend Sean Mcguire, an important psychologist who helps Will during the whole movie with teachings, advices, leading him in the right direction and exploiting his intelligence, removing it from the problems.


The plot is very original, a surprising thing is that the whole script is made by the same actors, Matt Damon and Ben affleck. The performance of Robbie Williams is amazing, he makes the viewer feel like the character, shocking them and making them reflect about their actions when he gave those advices to Will, trying to make him have a better life.

In my opinion is the best movie because it gives an important advice about life, it leaves a trascendental message. It teach us how to be responsables, respecting other people.I recommend to watch in family or whit friends

The Shawshank Redemption


Book/ Film: The Shawshank Redemption
Genre: Drama
Author/ Director: Frank Darabound
Characters/ Actors: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman and Bob Gunton
Review:


''The Shawshank Redemption'' is a Frank Darabond's american film set in 1994. It is based on the short novel of Stephen King Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Tim Robbins, the main character, plays the part of Andy Dufresne, the vice-presiden of a bank, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. Ellis boyd "Red" Redding a convict of the prison, who will be Andy's best friend, is played by Morgan Freeman and Bob Gunton plays the part of Norton, the prison's warder .

Andy Dufresne is a bank vice-president cult, attracted by the literature and classical music. The skills made ​​about the murder of his wife and her lover, showed enough evidence to sentence him to death. After a hard time in prison, Andy gains the respect of his fellow inmates, befriend Red, and becomes the right hand of the Warden.He never lost hope in prison, that will make the story has a great ending.

One of the things I most liked in this wonderful film, is the teaching of life that is transmitted to the viewers. It teaches that it is worth fighting to live, although it seems impossible, one must never lose hope, because that's all you have left that they can't take away. And it shows the real friendship between two men.

Despite how beautiful is this story, I do not find many other ways to criticize. Darabound's work, let me wonder, especially since I love these films certainly did a great job. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are excellent actors. The connection that they did in the movie was very very good. It was very touching to see them act together and especially in a flawless manner, as shown in this film about friendship and values.

In conclusion, I recommend this movie. I loved the plot of the movie, because I found it very moving and entertaining, and performances by Robbins and Freeman gave the only thing missing from this film. Worth seeing this movie, because although many people do not believe it has a great lesson of life.

UNKNOWN

This movie is a thriller film directed by
Jaume Collet-Serra, starring Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz, and Frank Langella.
This film is based in the French novel Out of My Head,
His protagonist is Liam Neeson as Dr. Martin Harris in fact he believe that but he isn’t this person.

After an accident he had had in Berlin, Germany, (where he went with his wife for a
biotechnology summit) he woke up the 24th of November after being 4 days in a coma.
But the problem started when he tried to remember what had happened to him, the only thing that he could remember was his “name” Dr. Martin Harris. But in fact it wasn’t, so he escaped from the hospital and started looking for his true identity.

The main actor in this film achieved shown us all the feelings that a person which is in other country without identity and identification could feel, but for me the thing to stand ut is the plot of the movie because it really keeps you in front of the screen all the movie.

To sum up it’s a great movie to see a Saturday night with a lot of pop corns.
I hope you enjoy it as me!

The curious case of Benjamin Button

Book/ Film: The curious case of Benjamin Button


Genre: Fantasy drama-film


Author/ Director: David  Fincher


Characters/ Actors: Cate Blanchett Brad Pitt Julia Ormond


Review:

File:Curious case of benjamin button ver3.jpg
The curious case of Benjamin Button is a David Fincher ´s film. The main actors are Brad Pitt,Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton. Brad Pitt acts as Benjamin Button, Cate Blanchett as 
Daisy and Tilda Swinton as Elizabeth Abbott. It is a drama film.


Daisy Williams, an old woman, was in her deathbed in a New Orleans hospital the day that hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans. Near her was her daughter, Caroline. Daisy asked her daughter to read to her the diary of Benjamin Button. This diary tells his complete an extraordinary life, all the diseases he has been diagnosed at birth and the little chance of survival. Thomas Button, his father, abandoned him after the death of his mother. He was raised by a black woman called Queenie. Daisy´s grandmother lived at that home, which is where she first met Benjamin.


This movie is visually remarkable thanks to some groundbreaking special effects. Near the end of the films, Benjamin appears after a long absence and steps into the light looking really young. The special effects were so elaborate and seamlessly integrated that they went virtually unnoticed.


In this movie, the clothing is very beautiful. To make sure they got the clothing right for all the different time periods, the costume designers consulted with Levi´s and used their Vintage clothing line. Nothing could get between the filmmakers and their Levi´s.


In my opinion, Benjamin Button is a long movie, but is like a pleasant dream, with fine acting all around. The special effects are amazing. I applaud the acting of Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button. I think it is the best movie I have ever seen in my short life.

The Cutting Edge 2: Going for the gold


Book/ Film: "The Cutting Edge 2: Going for the gold"
Genre: Romantic comedy
Author/ Director: Sean McNamara
Characters/ Actors:Ross Thomas and Christy Carlson Romano.

Review:
“ The Cutting Edge 2: going for the gold” is a romantic comedy film which is starred by Ross Thomas and Christy Carlson Romano. It was filmed in the USA in 2006 and directed by Sean McNamara. The film lasts 98 minutes and it should be watched by people over thirteen years-old.

“The Cutting Edge 2” tells a story about Jackie Dorsey (Christy Romano) who is competing to win the Olympic gold in ice-skating but, in her performance, she falls and brakes her leg. She is so depressed because she is only thinking about winning that prize, so her father invites her to go on holidays. There, Jackie meets Alex (Ross Thomas), a good-looking surfer guy, who helps her to return to the competition. However, everything is not so easy. Although they fall in love with each other, an ex Alex’s girlfriend appears.

Ross and Christy had to learn to skate professionally before filming the film because they only had stuntmen in very difficult tricks. Much of the time in the film they are skating, for example, when they are preparing their performance for the regional competition, in the Olympic competition, and so on.

The costume design in Cutting Edge 2 emphasizes Jackie and Alex characters in daily life and it’s different and special in every performance they do, it really helps you to know the personality of the characters.

I think it’s a great option if you want to watch something different and original mixed with an amazing sport like ice-skating is. I recommend this film because it is not static like others films, in stead of this, it has a lot of changes throughout the film which makes you want to continue watching it.

THE GREEN MILE





-Book/ Film: The Green Mile
-Genre:Drama film

-Characters/ Actors:Tom Hanks, David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Clarke Duncan, Harry Dean Stanton and James Cromwell
-Review:

The Green Mile is a american drama film directed by Frank Darabont and adapted by him from the 1996 Stephen King novel of the same name. The film is told in a flashback format and stars Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb and Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey, and tells the story of Paul and his life as a death row corrections officer during the Great Depression in the United States.This movie was filmed in Louisiana, United States.

The plot of this movie, Paul Edgecomb worked in was called the "Green Mile" by the guards, because the condemned prisoners walking to their execution are said to be walking "the last mile" to the electric chair. One prisoner call, John Coffey, he is a farmer, gian and blackmen; he stay here because, he killing two young white girls.He demostrates that he is not a killer, opposite john, fearing darkness, and crying almost constantly for apparently no reason.One day, John reveals extraordinary powers by healing Paul urinary tract infection and resurrecting a mouse.The wife's of the boss of Paul has a problem cereveral, John with his powers try to cure her.

In my opinion the acting of Tom Hanks was exceptional, and Michael Clarke Duncan was exeptional, but background music was dispointing.And the direction played was a principal role in this movie.

One a scene, when John electrocuted in the chair was very exciting, but has very bad special effects and the music was not appropriate for that time.Other scene is when the mouse, called Mr. bells dies, is saddest scene that I've ever seen from this movie.

A film is infused with an expansive, and transmits a sadness and sorrow , sometimes I have the impression that John is going to died in few minutes.
If you want to watch a movie to cry this is indicated...

The cast was a right reason to watch it, and changes of emotions in every second of the movie

The place, like every other movie its just simple, not too much production, with the city like place the story develops in a normal environment and the society of today. The costumes are not something important in this film, just the normal stuff and clothes that we use every day.

“Crazy, stupid, love” is a film to watch and learn with all the family, that with a pinch of humor, we learn how to affront every day in our life. Very recommend por all can of people, no matter sex or age

Meet Joe Black.


Book/ Film: 'Meet Joe Black'.

Genre: Drama/Romantic/Fantasy.

Author/ Director: Martin Brest.

Characters/ Actors: Bard Pitt, Anthony Hopkin, Claire Forlani.

Review:
‘Meet Joe Black’ is a film about the death, showing it as something good, and as a process of life. Is a deep movie and treats emotions and feelings from a really different point of view. It’s a delicated film, and the story is about Bill, and old man about to die, who owns a billionaire company, so the death itself takes the body of Joe, a lovely man, to have some vacations. So Joe appears mysteriously as a friend of Bill, who keeps quiet the secret. But in the meanwhile, Joe fell in love with Susan, Bill’s daughter, and vice versa. And that’s how a romantic and passionate story starts.

Brad Pitt (Joe), Anthony Hopkins (Bill) and Claire Forlani (Susan) are the main characters. They are high quality actors, and make the movie have an incredible touch of sensibility and finesse.

The story and the acting are the most original ever seen, that makes the movie amazing, and you can’t avoid crying because is very emotional and treats subjects like death, love, and passion. The most distinguished element of the movie is Brad Pitt acting, because he makes you believe he’s really a person who doesn’t know anything about life, and the way he looks other people, his faces and the way he talks are surprisingly natural and expressive.

I can’t stop watching ‘Meet Joe Black’ because it’s a great story, the actors and the music are amazing, and its sensibility and the feelings that make me feel are indescribable. The movie is gripping all the time and I recommend it for those who love strong emotions.

They mixed the suspens and the drama in the story, they get that people were sad for moments, like when susie´s father cry for her dead, and have scared in other, like when her sister could be caught by the murder.

The movie has very good performances, specially, Saorse Ronon´s acting. In spite of Saorse is a very young actress, she could make an excellent and believable performance as the protagonist of the movie. Ronon won a lot of awards for her acting, like 7th Irish Film and Television Awards, 36th Saturn Awards and 2009 Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards.

About a boy



Book/ Film: About a boy
Genre: Drama
Author/ Director: The brothers Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz.
Characters/ Actors: Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult and Toni Colette.
“About a boy” is a beautiful movie that is adapted from the Nick Hornby's best-selling novel also called “About a boy”. It tells the powerful story of a young, rich, jobless man named Will Lightman (played by Hugh Grant) who meets a lonely boy named Marcus Brewer (played by Nicholas Hoult). We can appreciate nice scenarys from London and the tipical English accents.

Will has never faced any responsibility and he behaves like a boy despite being 30 years old. He meets Marcus in a very hard moment for him, his own mother has just tried to commit suicide. No matter what, Marcus tries to make her happy and keep her alive. Will’ll become essential in Marcus’ life and will end up being part of his family. Curiously, Marcus will teach Will more values than he has never known before.

This wonderful movie counts with an exceptional cast. Hugh Grant and Nicholas Hoult have an undeniable chemistry that makes us forget they’re acting and we believe everything we’re watching.

The background music plays a very important role.Playing both old and modern songs, the movie is perfectly accompanied by great soundtracks. “Shake Ya Ass" performed by Mystikal, takes part of an hilarious scene which could’t have been made without it.

I recommend this movie to any cine buff or just anyone who enjoys watching good performances. The excepcional plot won’t let you down and I can assure you that you will enjoy it from the very beginning to the end.

This movie, directed by Julie Annie Robinson, was released in the U.S.A IN 2010. Its protagonists are Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear and Liam Hewsworth.

It shows the antipathy between a teenager (Miley Cyrus) and her father who had left her to move out from the city. This teenager and her brother have to spend the summer with their father.

Review:

'Friends With Benefits’ tells the story of two people who believe that they can be friends without getting in love. Jamie is an executive, and when everything appears to be all right, their friendship turns into something more. And then is when they start to feel trapped by the other person and complicated things start to happen.
Dylan is a typical boy from a little town, a little bit shine but with amazing ideas, and he has also some fears to resolve. And Jamie is a city girl, and she lives life careless and getting worried about nothing.
The main characters are Justin Timberlake as Dylan, and Mila Kunis as Jamie. This couple made a great work in the movie and their main attraction is the sensuality that both have.
The music is amazing and totally according to the rhythm of the movie, which is very dynamic and entertained. It has modern themes as ‘Hey Soul Sister’, and also classics like ‘New York New York’. In my opinion the music of the movie make the viewer feel involved with the plot.
The movie takes place in New York, and incredible city. New York has uncountable beautiful places to appreciate, a lot of things to that make the actors not to stop for a minute. This special detail from the city makes the movie even better and more real.
I loved ‘Friends With Benefits’ because is a really nice romantic comedy film. The movie makes you laugh and cry, and shows a lot of feelings in real life. I recommend it for lovely couples because you’ll have a beautiful time with this original story.

The most fantastic aspects of the movie are the make-up and the clothes, especially in the ‘Walkers’. The make-ups are really amazing and make an excellent characterization of the zombies. The costume design is really good and very important in the series because help to make more realistic the story and the characters. The sets were huge and spectacular.
The performances of the cast were very good. The actors of the series participated in a lot of films and made many appearances in other series before ‘The Walking Dead’ but they weren’t very enowned, in spite of doing an excellent acting.

The filmfeatures the voices of Mike Myers (as Shrek); Cameron Diaz (as Fiona); AntonioBanderas (as pussy in boots); and Eddie Murphy. (As Donkey) and it is based ona Conrad Vernon’s book called Shrek
The story is about a green ogre who lives in the swamp. There he meets a Donkeywho can speak like a human. Shrek and the donkey go to the Lord Farquaad`sking, because they want he take the creatures out. Sherk has to find Fiona,lord’s fiancée. If he rescues her, the lord will order the creatures to leave the swamp. So the adventure of Shrek for rescuing Fiona begins.

Shrek is a brilliant film, we can see the good drawer`sjob, and the excellent quality of the image. The bright colors in the screen make of it an attractive movie not only for kids, for  adults too.

Another think that makes the movie funnier is the soundtrack. Not only songslistened in it like, Stay Home, All-Star, It Is You (I Have Loved),but also The voices because add anextra to the film. they are really good and they were done by prestigious actor.

I absolutely recommend this movie to spend time together with the whole family,kids will have fun with the adventures of these creatures and adults  will enjoy it too.you never know what's going to happen but you know that it will entertain you.  plenty of people completely love Shrek and you won't be de excepcion.

Life is Beautiful



Life is beatiful
This is an Italiam novie made in 1997 about an Italiam Jewish man named Guido Orefice(played by Roberto Benini who has also directed the movie).He win 50 internationals awards,for example 3 Oscars. It is based in
"in the end, defeat Hittler" the Rubino Romero Salmani an exiting book written by Romeo Saimon. This movie is set in the era of the holocaust and shows how Jewish people suffered. A devoted father invents a story and tells it to his son Josue(Giorgio Contardi) so he doesn´t realize how tough life can be. This whole imagination game saves Josue life from de horror that the holocaust causes.Guido is willing to do whatever its necessary to protect Josue.
The movie shows a sad reality but it leaves a nice message, to see the good side from every situation and never give up. Even when it seems a stupid thing to do, we always have to help each other.
The movie shows clearly how people lived in this era, the structure of the concentration camps, the physical characteristics of the German people, the Jewish’s suffering and the different ways of murder.
This is one of my favorite movies because it has it all, love, history and drama. I really like the feelings it shows.
