How this crap has 6.4 in IMDb?
11 April 2011
The story is about a Muslim (?) Rambo or Superman. I put the (?) because is the only Muslim I knew that never prays. May be he's just an atheist who loves women in burka. Some little stuff that the writers of this movie need to know. If you shot a RPG in a cave, may be you kill yourself and not your enemies. I you fell in the water is very probable that you get wet. If you fight and kill a dog may be he bites you. To search people in the woods exist heat sensors, who search by visual contact nowadays. If you fell on mud, melting snow and rocks your white jacket and trousers get dirty. Falling trees use to kill people who laid where they fell, if the trunk fell on the belly probabilities are against the guy. Black ants sleep during the winter. If it snow and all is frozen, tree's cork also is frozen and you rip your nail trying to tore the cork. Gentle and gorgeous women don't live in the middle of the woods. What a stupid movie!!!!!

Why so low in IMDb
6 April 2011
I don't understand why this movie is so underrated. Good acted, specially, Jean-Pierre Darroussin. Darrousin shows so many resources that really appalled me. The film has a rhythm that French movies usually lack. I think the three chapters and their sutil and soft changes of perspective are the greatest merit of this movie. I guess this style isn't innovative (remember Rashomon?) but is well articulated and the repeated scenes aren't boring, far from that, it's turn more interesting with every turn. Then the big picture only becomes clear in the third and final part, "All Together," which takes up about half the film and again reshuffles and elaborates on what has come before finally allowing the characters to function independently and showing all their cards.

A horror movie that make you laugh
2 December 2010
Poor acting, including the extras, when facing suicide the four followers reaction was as if they must take the flu vaccine. Worst casting I ever have seen, may be they take the people waiting in an ATM or in the public hospital... no, no people in public health system show some kind of anger or boredom, in that movie you can't expect such level of expression. An evil gravedigger that seems your good and lovely uncle Joe with the Marylin Manson's ten inches nails, he make you think that to give him a caipirinha or buy him tickets to Vasco da Gama soccer game. Ridicoulous clothes, I guess there is something token from the Museum of Bela Lugosi. Yes sir, you're right... there is a kind of Igor puppet following good uncle Joe all movie long... limping as usual, as the canon rules. Special effects the kind you get in a a bar mitzvah clip. I'm sure someone made a good profit from the generous Brazilian foment cinema funds. Don't watch it. Don't spare your 5 bucks. Don't waste your time.

Good investigation, so so filming
11 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I give The Gaby six points but with a minimal work of re-edition it can be a seven or eight vote. The film shows a good work of information and seriousness in the choice of the interviews. May be for a foreign (from Argentina) public lacks some general reference. Generally revisionists works about this time in the recent history of Argentina lacks interviews of such witnesses as Ana Maria Marti, that let the public know, how militants were aware of the real condition of their political movement and the sure massacre their leaders were prompting. The acting in the fictional segments is accurate and the casting is above average, privileging the physical resemblance in some cases. What leads to underrate this movie is a pitiful work of edition in the documentary segments, with sudden stops and gaps. Although that, this segments are the more emotive of the film

A long, sad and boring decadence
15 April 2010
I'm not a Tarantino's fan but I loved 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction'. So I can't believe that Tarantino directed 'Inglorious Basterds' After the opening scene with the Nazi officer interrogating the farmer who is hiding Jews in his basement the movie goes straight to the ridiculous, place from where don't exist come back. May be as an action B-movie 'Inglorious basterds' can stand up, but please!!!! We're talking about mainstream and a top level director. Obviously Tarantino forgets that grown-up people may be in attendance and assumes that there are only teenagers watching that sad remake of 'Dirty Dozen' and another good war themed movies. Boring (and pointless) conversations accumulate totalizing 154' of wasted budget. Also I'm tired with the sequence of 'homage' after 'homage' that Tarantino include in his movies. For surrealist movies I prefer Luis Buñuel's 'El perro andaluz' or 'El angel exterminador', but surrealism melted with the hyper-realism of Hitler, the Shoa, WWII is stupid if not unmoral. The usual argument with Tarantino lovers is "…if you can do it better...do it so" but the point is, who needs this piece of bad B movie? The crew? Seriously disappointing performance by Brad Pitt who can't hide how amused he was filming that scrap. I can't understand how this movie is actually at 8.4 in IMDb… please!!!!!! I absolutely hated 'Inglorious Basterds' and its collection of endless, sadistic and (the last but not the least) boring scenes. The scene where three people talk for several minutes at the same table, before, they are all shot is extremely boring, Ingmar Bergman mixed with Peckinpah? No way, Quentin! I deliberately did not read any reviews of this movie on IMDb before I watched it because I really wanted to see it without external influences, it's a pity… I wasted two and a half hours of my precious life.

Don't waste your time
2 April 2010
Overused story, without nothing out the usual script. Awful acting. Special effects that a kid in grammar school can provide. The casting would be a real terror film, I'd love to watch it. The teen actress is so inexpressive that I thought she was acting as an autist girl. The scene where pa and ma look at the baby chair was one of the painful I watched in my life... And the chair has a hand-script poster 'for goodwill'... OK after ten minutes I follow with another movie. Total wasting of ten minutes of mi life. If you pay for it you must sue the store that rent such garbage. Overused story, without nothing out the usual script. Awful acting. Special effects that a kid in grammar school can provide.
