Te Amo ( Made in Chile )
Tamara Acosta, Adrian Castilla
Bayview Films, 2006
If you want to watch a bad movie, watch this one
The chilean movie industry has been pretty generous since democracy came back to the country in the 90's. You can actually see it bloom. Take for example the production gap between movies as Johnny 100 pesos from 1994 (am i right?) and the award winner Machuca (2004). Both movies are good, but ...

Godzilla
Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno
Sony Pictures, 1998
Great Monster Movie
+ good action movie
+ Godzilla: An Enjoyable Movie
I found this movie to be very entertaining, and that's what it was meant to do. Entertain. It is one of the few movies that I have watched more than once and I still find it entertaining. For those people who rated it low because they feel it doesn't have some deeper meaning or the characters don't ...

The Short Films of David Lynch
Short Films of David Lynch
Subversive Cinema, 2006
Whoa!
+ That's how it began
+ Work in progress!
This is some pretty cool stuff by David Lynch. While I haven't been able to see Blue Velvet (already a contender to be one of my favorite movies, but I have to see it) or Eraserhead, well no matter. I have no clue about weird film directors besides Lynch, but matter not. It's some cool ...

Before Sunset
Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy
Warner Home Video, 2004
I have never written a movie review to Amazon before,
+ Love Love Love It!
But this is such a beautiful and touching movie, I had to tell others how wonderful it was. You should see "Before
Sunrise"
first because it makes, "Before Sunset" that much more meaningful. Both films are cinematic masterpieces
I believe. The reason is that both films are so "real" that you ...

Sony Pictures, 1999
Running with Fate to the Euro-beat; Boom Chucka Boom Chucka...
+ great movie
+ Really good Foreign film
It's amazing what you'll buy when retailers sell DVDs for four bucks. The cool thing is that you can completely trash your expectations. Heck, I couldn't rent it twice at blockbuster for this money. Needless to say, I jumped in with both feet and landed safely into a film I thought was pretty ...

Universal Studios, 2005
Diarios de Motocicleta
+ Great movie
+ Superb film and travelogue, with stunning landscapes!
Rarely is it easy to make the distinction between social history and cultural mythology. And to create a film to represent the lives of complex historical figures is a daunting task, yet Walter Salles has proven that he is more than capable of creating such a film. In The Motorcycle Diaries we are ...
