Unscripted
(2005)

Excellent and innovative format
I've seen the first four episodes of unscripted and i think this is a great new format for TV series. I'm really into the series, very Soderbergh's style, the colors in the background with a lot of yellows and blues, great story with so many very funny but credible moments like the one with Krista yelling in the wrong office with Sam Mendez or Jen sitting in Brad Pitts chair and asking Limon if he was involved in the movie (He is the director of Mr. and Mrs. Smith). Frank Langella is a fine actor and his performance so far i've seen is flawless. Krista Allen, Jennifer Hall and Bryan Greenberg show the tough life of young actors trying to make his own way in Hollywood.

It's a GREAT SERIES! another hit series from HBO.

Heaven
(2002)

Simply Not Good...
Ok, this is my second movie of this director after Lola Renn. First when you watch the DVD cover you see two superb actors as Giovanni Ribisi and Cate Blanchett (Both also in The Gift, that is a Raimi's excellent thriller) and also watch that is from Tykwer (specifically says "From the same director as Lola Renn"), you'll think that you are just ahead to watch an excellent movie. The start of the movie show some action but 10 minutes later the story starts to slow down and to became into a fictional story that try to make you think that Phillipo is an Angel who born the same day and hour than Phillipa and that his destiny is to help (and also fall in love!) Phillipa to escape from the law because she killed 4 innocent people when she was trying to set a bomb to kill the drug dealer who supplied the drug to her exhusband who died for an overdoze (besides that she was unfaithful in her marriage)!!!!!!!! can you imagine what a stupid and inmoral screenplay?... Things get worse when Phillipo help to Blanchett role to kill the drug dealer!... (very nice Guardian Angel!)

The last part is even worst, the scene where they escape in a helicopter from the police and dissapear in "Heaven", what a symbolic end! lol.

I enjoyed Lola Renn and the Color Trilogy, and i don't have anything bad to say about Blanchett or Ribisi, they have decent performs and the photography and locations are also good, but this story is not good at all!...

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
(1964)

Amazing comedy.
Kubrik's finest art. Incredible comedy about the cold war and the fear of a massive anhilation of the earth. More even when you think about the events happening at that time. Performance of Peter Sellers is flawless at every character the he played.

Taken
(2002)

Updated comments... it's not what i thought... its better!!!
I post the first comment about this series, i thought this mini will be a 'must see' classic, but i was wrong, this is a 'must have' series... It's the best mini-series I've seen in my life, I'm just amazed about all the story line and after seen nine episodes i know that tomorrow when conclude the last one i will start to count the days for the release of the DVDs.

If you though that X-Files was one of the best sci-fi alien themed series of all time you got to love this one too!... it have a concept very different about the life beyond the sky, different from X-Files but really well managed and presented.

Slackers
(2002)

Really entertaining movie...
I seen the movie and is very funny... the cast is not the regular teen stars of the moment (American Pie, Road Trip, etc). I only recognized the guy of Final Destination, the rest of the actors were unknown for me. This is the first movie of this director and i think is a very good comedy, is not the usual flick of college boys and girls...

Good movie, not a classic but a good option to laugh a while...

Cruel Intentions 2
(2000)

Just SUCKS!!!
This is the worst movie i ever seen.... when you start watching the film you will think its a kind of parody os Cruel Intentions but when the movie finish you don't know, 'cause the humor is so stupid and every character sucks more than the others.

NEVER WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! EVEN FOR REVIEW IT, I WILL PROMISE YOU IS THE WORST BETWEEN ALL!
