The Castro regime has been one of the most controversial political moves in history; however its restrictiveness comes looking as fallacy in a film that criticizes it through the eyes of a gay man. Entirely made in Cuba the comedy is a delicious look at seduction and repression. It's a shame that it took me so long to watch it.

So rich and layered it's a shame that more people aren't falling captive to its power. Most criticisms I've heard about it mention its coldness though, I'd no idea people were still so reluctant to watch movies that don't embrace the viewer.

Finally wrote a review







03/05/10 Tooth Fairy (1)
When The Rock gets top billing over the likes of Julie Andrews and Billy Crystal you know you're in for a real treat...
This is yet another film where the former sports star plays a conceited sports star whose life is changed by a sudden role he has to fulfill and involves children. Not funny, moving or even nice looking the film is comprised of scene after scene where children's imagination is spoken of but never stimulated or taken seriously.

A fascinating documentary that explores the notions of hunger, poverty and what makes a family.
Read my review.





03/12/10 A Prophet (3)
Every bit as remarkable as the previous times I'd seen it.
Also it gets more entertaining on a genre level with every new viewing.

Think Godardian formalism meets "The Maid".
Read my review.






03/14/10 Cold Sea Water (1)
A Bergmanian attempt that has nothing to say but "says" it in a pretty way.






03/15/10 Retratos en un mar de mentiras (1)
Trite, overlong and quite dull.
Read my review.




03/15/10 Thirst (2)
Every bit as fun as the first time I saw it.







03/16/10 Kinatay (1)
I was expecting to be shocked, disgusted and mostly revolted.
Instead I was pleasantly surprised.





03/17/10 Nao Sem Pode Viver Sem Amor (1)
I attended the world premiere of this movie and it left much to be desired.





03/17/10 Dirty Mind (1)
Pleasing Belgian comedy that could've been much better.
Read my review.





03/18/10 Lebanon (1)
Why Israel didn't submit this for the Foreign Language Oscar will forever be a mystery.
It's a brilliant intimate drama that works as a perfect companion piece to "The Hurt Locker".






03/19/10 Sammen (1)
Cute but forgettable.





03/29/10 The Wrestler (3)
Mickey Rourke's performance never grows old. It's such a subdued take and Marisa Tomei is brilliant!






03/30/10 Date Night (1)
Tina Fey and Steve Carrell are such a perfect match that it's a surprise nobody had teamed them up before.
