It was kind of nice to watch Julia Roberts in her search for the Oran-gutangs in the jungle. Is it necessary more educational programs in TV? Well, here's one. And there's even a wired scene at the end when a big Oran-gutang tries to hug Julia Roberts and she seems really scared.

I saw this film by accident, a wired south american production. The whole action takes place inside the main character's house, and this is a woman who wants to go to Miami. But all of a sudden her boyfriend shows up and their relationship is conflicted.

I don't think this is an art movie, this is just a bad movie, in a very strange way. The sex scene is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in a film. If the subject is south american movies, then watch 'Central Station' and 'O Quatrilho', or maybe even the new Hector Babenco (director of 'At Play In the Fields Of The Lord' and 'Kiss Of The Spider Woman')movie , 'Foolish Heart'.

The 1st segment is about a dog who keeps following a barber, the 3rd about a mother who likes to watch her son and his wife while they're having sex, the 4th kind of wraps them all together.

But the best is the 3rd, with Bruno Ganz. This is one of the best things in cinema terms to ever come out of Europe, its 20 minutes are nothing but brilliant. It's about an older man who gives a ride to a beautiful and innocent young woman and her stupid male friend. Great story.

It has only a couple of scenes that you'll remember and the plot is too slow. Otto Preminger may have done a good work with the actors in this film but this is not enough.

Even though it has no ambition either so ...

This is the only film I've ever seen from Iceland. It tells the story of a young boy in the 50's seeing for the first time the american movies and everything else that goes on in his life.

The art film in its essence, but on this category I'd recommend 'Through The Olive Tress' or 'La Haine\Hate' and 'Lepa Sepa Lepo Gore\Pretty Village Pretty Flame'.

I haven't seen many german movies but 'Widows' came to my mind when I was watching this one, both have female characters for leads but is actually about men.

We all have seen this before many times, some like it and some don't. I gave it a 6.

It's impressing the lack of ambition of this movie, the kind of film that practically almost nobody watches.

Jennifer Beals is as beautiful as always.

But the movie as a whole is only recommended for professional dancers or fans of dancing.

I started watching this one with no hopes that it'd be any good but, for my surprise, I enjoyed this classical story until the end. Acclaimed director John Schlesinger and Campbell Scott had worked together before in "The Innocent". Campbell Scott, by the way, defines his character in very positive way and he does look 'cool'. The costumes and art direction are excellent, especially since this is a TV movie (one of the best TV movies I've ever seen, because I don't usually watch them and, when I do, I usually hate it).

Plus there's beautiful young English actress, Selina Boyack, she is one of the best things about this movie. I'd say she might turn out to be famous some time soon.

And this movie is better than at least 70% or 80% of the movies we see around. If you get the chance, don't miss this one, I promise you that you'll like it.

The movie takes place in New York, and it's incredible how natural it looks, it actually looks like real life, not a movie, the way people talk and everything, the performance and camera positions, it just looks real. Most films nowadays lack this, so directors should watch this movie and try to reach this naturality.

Al Pacino is great in this movie as an addicted to heroin, it was probably because of his performance in this movie that he got the part in "Godfather".

Has anyone ever heard of this movie? I don't think it was released on video. But I tell you what, it's good. It won some award or something like that in the Los Angeles 96 film festival but it was never released in wide scale. With so many bad ambitious movies around, I wonder why people never had a chance to watch this movie.

It's about relationships in a 'Walking and Talking'\'Singles' sort of way. It has two beautiful young actresses and the dialogue is good, as well as the actor's direction.

If you like independent movies, don't miss this one when you have the chance.

This is the art movie in its essence. Every single minute of this movie is complexly detailed. It was considered by the critics a masterpiece but it could not be nominated for the Academy Awards in the 'Foreign Language Category' because of political problems between Iran and USA at the time (but in 99 'Children of Heaven' was nominated).

It was written by Abbas Kiarostama, who also wrote 'The White Balloon' (another great film) and 'Taste of Cherry' (not so good, although it won the Cannes Palm D'or).

This is a must see for any fan of artfilms. Simply fantastic, amazing and everything else, this movie is a 'sea of creativity'.

Most people never heard of this movie, although it has two brilliant actors. Once I heard Christopher Walken saying that he makes movies that nobody watches, and sometimes he makes some movies not even him watches. But I tell you what, "A Business Affair" is not bad.

It's not great either but hey ... On the day I saw this movie, I saw 4 others (old flicks), and this one was the best, and it was better than any of the three I had seen the day before.

The good performances by charismatic actors help, as well as beautiful french actress Carole Bouquet (it shows her naked a couple of times). And some funny lines too (Walken says at a point of the movie: 'My father used to sell pizzas in Harlem so now I can sell art in Europe').

I wouldn't say it's a must see, but I should confess it's better than at least 60% of the things I watch.

Tom diCillo's most succesful film is the also great 'Living In Oblivion', but 'Box Of Moonlight' is my favorite one. This movie is really excellent, among all the films that deserved success but didn't get it, this film is the one that deserved it the most, a real life experience. Probably John Torturro best part ever and of his best performances too. This is his best film since Miller's Crossing (91, by Coen Bros.). If you wanna see a real masterpiece, go check this one out and, I bet, you'll remember it for the rest of your life.

This movie is really great, written and directed by Finn Taylor (who wrote the not so good 'Pontiac Moon' with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen), this film is one of the best independent films from 90's.

When it was shown for the first time in the 97 Sundance, everyone thought it had real chances to get the best film award, or at least the script award but it didn't. It surely deserved something.

This is a story about life, happiness, sadness, lifestyle and choices. Terry (David Arquette)is a lonely man who spends his time watching his neighbours from his window with binoculars, Nick, who is going to die in three weeks, is one of them. Terry wants to kill himself but Nick enters his life by accident and they decide to live just a few days more and have some fun.

The performances are great, David Arquette has a lot of potencial when he's not doing movies like Scream 2, and that was the first time Brad Hunt (Nick) called my attencion, I had never heard about him before, he was in the also great 'Point Break' tough. Katheryne Erbe (Who plays Nick's girlfriend) was really great too and I had never heard about her before too.

Since 'Living In Oblivion' an American independent movie doesn't surprise so much and it doesn't mean 'Living In Oblivion' is better then 'Dream with fishes', they're both great.

If you haven't seen this one, just choose one day you're really really relaxed and check it out. It's really a must-see.
