FILMINGOS

Harsh Times

2006-11-17T01:08:00.000Z

I just finished reading the history of comments posted in IMDB.At first they start off just being great comments but then you find a large amount of not medium but really really bad comments (by bad I mean the writer did not like the movie). People who didn't like the movie really felt strongly about it and the main criticism I found was that it was difficult to understand (or there was nothing

The Dreamers FILMINGO INVITADO

2006-09-08T18:15:00.000Z

The latest film of Bertolucci…bring us to the romantic Paris of the late 60’s when the revolution felt possible. It is deliciously painful to watch this film full of allegories of love, friendship, politics, existentialism, youth and reality. This film makes clear our position nowadays in terms of social change and feelings, it touches deeply every single one of our beliefs and put them in the

Water

Just two days ago I went to the Hippodrome State Theatre (the local hippy theater, the only one where, before each viewing, a semi-smartly dressed man introduces the movie as well as the theatre production that is going on) to watch the much anticipated movie "Water".This is an indian movie, a piece of information which says a lot and should be taken into account by all those who go to watch

JAPON. Filmingo Invitado

Rulfo contado por Tarkovsky El director de este filme (Carlos Reygadas) nos muestra una cara de México que ha sido casi olvidada en el cine. Nos muestra un México negado, el México que Rulfo nos contó hace varias décadas, el mismo que gracias al deseo de desarrollo, la moda y el avance de la tecnología, poco a poco este México se va quedando en la memoria. Es inevitable sentir nostalgia al

The Nightmare Before Christmas

2005-01-08T15:11:00.000Z

I spent last Christmas in Spain. And what does it have to do with the movie I'm gonna talk about? Well, I saw the movie there. But I saw it because nowadays its characters are surpisingly famous among young people. I mean, a lot. I saw Jack and Sally everywhere. But, why? I remember that when the movie was firstly released it wasn't a big success. So, my question was, is it temporarily in fashion

Scarface

2004-12-22T20:57:00.000Z

Ok, so here I write about a cinema giant, a classic, the famous Scarface. I admit, Al Pacino is a great actor! He embodies this ruthless man who is determined to take over the world and he does it very well indeed... ok, now lets suppose he had not made such a great performance, what else would there be to the movie???? Not much really. Even my favorite actress Michelle Pfeiffer... yes she

Lolita

My god this movie just never finished!! Don`t know how long it was but well over two hours. Apart from the length issue, the other comment which I have must go something like: "My god, Stanley Kubrick has one screwed up mind!". The movie is good, I appreciate how well it was made but the characters are really messed up! There is not one normal person! They all have some psychotic side... do we

El Imperio Contraataca

¿Qué se puede escribir sobre Star Wars que no se haya dicho antes? Probablemente ya muy poco, aunque, dadas las recientes circunstancias en el ámbito de las franquicias, es posible que la fuente se abra de nuevo, al menos por un tiempo. Nunca he sido un purista, no soy de los que afirman que sólo la primera versión de una película es la buena, y esto lo descubrí al disfrutar muchísimo de Blade

Akira`s Dreams

2004-10-25T13:03:00.000Z

Akira Kurosawa, the man whose movies inspired the creation of the Star Wars series and influenced the minds of many directors, his dreams. Firstly, do not expect to see something simple. Engage your symbolic view on life, turn on your metaphor-detecting-sense, switch off that down to earth, realistic, straight-forward outlook on life. This movie is to be seen and felt and learnt from (at

Qatsi 2 of 3

2004-10-14T13:19:00.000Z

Powaqqatsi The second filmingo of the qatsi trilogy. No longer is the cinematography sketchy, this one was made in the late 80`s and has the touch of Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas (it says presented by those two guys but I am not sure what exactly their participation was... anyway). The shots manage to capture more of the essence of the moment (in my opinion) than those of

Brown Bunny

2004-10-13T14:24:00.000Z

The second film of Vincent Gallo jumped to the first pages of the entertainment sections of every newspaper in the world after being showed at the <> Cannes Festival. The reason? Well the reason was una mamada (in mexican slang this makes perfect sense, believe it or not), ya know, a bj, a close talk to the microphone, a slurpee lubee to the tubee. Yep. It is explicit and it is not fake, so if

Qatsi 1 of 3

2004-10-12T19:03:00.000Z

Koyaanisqatsi is the name of the first filmingo of the qatsi trilogy. Nowhere in this blog does it say that the movies have to be recent and this particular movie was created between 1975 and 1982. I will be posting comments on the other parts as well as a special movie which follows these. Koyaanisqatsi is the vision of Godfrey Reggio but only made possible with the talents of Philip Glass and

Finder's Fee

2004-10-07T23:23:00.000Z

Es ésta la típica película que uno nunca vería si no se la recomiendan. Cierto es que la presencia tras la cámara de Jeff Probs, presentador del reality show americano Survivor, no augura, a priori, un buen resultado. Nada más lejos de la realidad, el producto final es bueno y digno de ser visionado. El argumento es de lo más sencillo y se resume en dos encuentros: el de una billetera por parte

Starsky & Hutch

2004-10-04T15:26:00.001Z

Magnífico intento por entrar a las listas de "peor película de todos los tiempos". Lástima que aún ese premio sería exagerado para una cinta cuyos mejores adeptos están en las cuatro o cinco chicas en bikini que aparecen por ahí de pasada en la pantalla. Todd Phillips, creador de las superinfladas "Old School" y "Road Trip" intenta recrear el ambiente de la famosa serie televisiva de los 70's

This is the first film critic blog made by astronomers. At least we think so. Soon you will see here a small critic for every movie we watch, and it can be in english, spanish or portuguese. So... yeAh whatever
