The Switch


MY OPINION: Predictable and quite stupid sometimes. Little details of the film that makes you think "WHY" this or "WHY" that... at least me. Jennifer not apporting enough to the character, she is not believable as a person and Juliette Lewis would have been better not being in this film. Nice story if it was told different way or with different people in my opinion.

THE BEST: I guess Jeff Goldblum and Jason Bateman.

THE WORST: A few things... cannot say them without spoilers...Jennifer and I'm afraid Patrick Wilson :( He disappointed me.

UNEXPECTED: Nothing, all predictable

RATING:4/10

WOULD I CHANGE ANYTHING?: Nearly the whole film, not the plot I guess

No strings attached


MY OPINION: Surprisingly entertaining. I thought I would hate it.... but I did not. Natalie as always performing as expected. Believable characters and good vibrations. I liked it even though I wouldn't say it deserves any award. But it made me feel what it supposed to.

THE BEST: Natalie Portman and Kevin Kline

THE WORST: Ashton Kutcher is not as bad as always. Unfortunately he plays a lovable character.

UNEXPECTED: Kevin Kline's life stories

RATING: 7/10

WOULD I CHANGE ANYTHING?: Maybe the beginning but it was fine.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist


MY OPINION: This film is one of those I saw in the middle of the night and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It is a genuine romantic story with what I would call two honest characters that connect to each other through the magic of music. Not many good romantic comedies these days about teen love. So I hope they take this one as a good example for the ones to come

THE BEST: Good music and cast

THE WORST: The stupid ex girlfriend

UNEXPECTED: Recycle chewing gum

RATING: 10/10

WOULD I CHANGE SOMETHING?: No

Zach and Miri make a porno


MY OPINION: Kevin Smith always making us laugh :D, what can I say? I like this film although I do not like the main 2 actors. I like the dialogue and what is about...not that I like porn, but I like when people use their imagination to find solutions to problems. It was good to see famous actors doing cameos as well.

THE BEST: I guess Kevin Smith presence even though he was not in front of the camera

THE WORST: Seth Rogen and Banks....sorry I do not like them anywhere

UNEXPECTED: Seeing Superman :)

RATING: 8/10

WOULD I CHANGE SOMETHING?: Yes, the main actors.

Tangled


MY OPINION: I really enjoyed this film. It was good that they summarised the story a bit without spending loads of time explaining a sad story. I liked that the female character is brave and fearless even though she was never out in the world.

THE BEST: Very entertaining

THE WORST: Maybe the singing, although I didn't hate it like in other Disney films.

UNEXPECTED: The ending

RATING: 9/10

WOULD I CHANGE SOMETHING?: Yes, less singing and the horse less human.

Megamind


MY OPINION: Not as funny and great as I thought it would be. I was disappointed from the start. Didn't like some voices or even I didn't care about any characters. The film did not make me feel anything.

THE BEST: Last song with the credits. MJ

THE WORST: Everything but the animation

UNEXPECTED: I would have thought I would like it, but I did not

RATING: 3/10

WOULD I CHANGE SOMETHING?: Yes, some actors, some parts of the story, the over movements of the eyes, no one moves their eyes so much in real life ...or other animated films...

Bubble Boy


MY OPINION: Excellent comedy. It's clever and silly at the same time...it's romantic and very comical, gives the opportunity to make the characters free in a world where they would be normally victims.

THE BEST: Sarcasm,the story and the cast

THE WORST: Nothing

UNEXPECTED: Seeing so many famous people in it. Even the guy from Machete

RATING: 10/10

WOULD I CHANGE SOMETHING?: No

All good things


MY OPINION: It started as a romantic and beautiful story that turned into something else. Very interesting and scary to think that people could change so much so suddenly
I wish the case could have been solved.

THE BEST: The cast

THE WORST: The story is based on true facts, which is scary

UNEXPECTED: Seeing Ryan dressed as a woman

RATING: 7/10

Due Date


MY OPINION: Not funny at all. Quite boring for my taste, and upsetting at times. Downey Jr. was the only thing I didn't mind in the whole film. I want my time back.

THE BEST: Robert Downey.

THE WORST: Pretty much everything else

UNEXPECTED: How stupid and annoying that beard guy is..

RATING: 2/10

Blades of glory


MY OPINION: Very funny film in a ridiculous way, but still is very entertaining and hilarious.

THE BEST: Will Ferrell is great

THE WORST: Some dancing is stupidly unrealistic

UNEXPECTED: I think they did skate for real....almost all the time

RATING: 8/10

Dogma


MY OPINION: Fun and interesting view of religion. Kevin Smith as always making us think and laugh....Really liked it and it was good to see all these famous people making us laugh.

THE BEST: Matt Damon and Affleck's dialogue... and shootings

THE WORST: Do not like Linda Fiorentino in this film, and the pooh monster

UNEXPECTED: Alanis Morrissette

RATING: 7/10

Brothers


MY OPINION: Very difficult story to tell, but very well explained. Do not think it is a love stoy or a triangle like it says in the poster, but mainly it is a good cast playing cold characters at times and an amazing Tobey Maguire changes completely his style from Spiderman, good job :)

THE BEST: Cast and Jake :P

THE WORST: Sadness of the story and that is based in real stuff :(

UNEXPECTED: Tobey Maguire going crazy

RATING: 8/10

Kick-Ass


MY OPINION: Fun to watch film, although I did not like part of the end. It felt like the film started being about kick-ass but ended being more about superheroes or people trying to be like one. I think it should have been named after Hit-Girl. After all, it was ok and not boring or sad even though some parts of the story.

THE BEST: Big-Daddy and Hit-Girl.

THE WORST:Red Mist.

UNEXPECTED: Big_Daddy shooting at hit-Girl.

RATING: 8/10

Adventureland


MY OPINION: I really enjoyed this film. I remember I watched it one night at about 4 am when I couldn't sleep, and I thought it was very good. Fun, cute, not boring and kind of romantic in a smart way. Characters were performed well by the cast.

THE BEST: Screenplay, cast, that is based in the 80's and the music.

THE WORST: Did not like Ryan Renolds character.

UNEXPECTED: Some of the tricks from an amusement park to get your money

RATING: 9/10

Macgruber


MY OPINION: One of the funniest films I have seen for a while. I thought it was going to be one of those stupid not funny films but as soon as I started it.....I changed m mind. It is stupid but in a funny clever way.

THE BEST: Most of it...

THE WORST: It had to end sometime...

UNEXPECTED: Laughing so much :D

RATING: 8/10

The kids are all right


MY OPINION: Good acting from the main actresses. Not so sure that Mark Ruffalo was the right actor for that role. The film was watchable but not great in my opinion. I didn't like the actress from Alice in Wonderland, as usual. The film is funny a couple of times and a drama the rest of it. Relationships are hard even for lesbians.

THE BEST: Acting as lesbians even if they are not

THE WORST: The blond girl and Mark Ruffalo, I guess.

UNEXPECTED: Seeing Annette and Julianne kissing

RATING: 6/10

Blue Valentine


MY OPINION: Excellent performance from both main actors. Very romantic at times and frustrating and sad too. Really liked Ryan Gosling character. Felt sorry for him and the frustrating situation with her.

THE BEST: The acting and the reality of the story. You don't see many good films about real stories. Updated my rating 8 to 9 out of 10 after watching the making of.

THE WORST: The sadness and frustration of the characters, I guess.

UNEXPECTED: Men can be romantic too

RATING: 9/10

Black Swan


MY OPINION:Very good film, one of those where you are not sure what is really going on until the end surprise you. Dancing ballet is really hard, didn't know that. Great performance from all cast except Natalie....I'm joking!!!! She was the best in the film. Definately a must see.

THE BEST: Natalie Portman, not only acting but dancing as well,and the intrigue of the film that kept me awake until the end for once :P
THE WORST: Nothing.

UNEXPECTED: The end.

RATING: 8/10
