El gran salto (2005)
9/10
very good, very good
14 December 2006
It is a wonderful short movie. I've seen it at ALTERNATIVE 2005 SHORT FILM FESTIVAL and i was impressed by the force of this young director.The movie speaks about a problem that most children at that age have : to have sex or not? The two adolescents are exactly the way an adolescent is. The game that the director plays with his characters is excellent. The young actors are great. The screenplay is great. Another thing that impressed me was the secondary plot with the crazy neighbor which distracts the action from the two adolescents and gives the movie a good note of humor. That's it. Hope the director will come with something else soon because i think he has a future, really. Excuses for my English,

The Grudge (2004)
1/10
it made me laugh
25 August 2006
This movie made me laugh...it's a combination of awful, low-cost horrors and a good black comedy. I saw it twice, i don't know why i watched it for the second time, but i know that when i hear the word "grudge" i think about one of the most bad movies. Know, why am i so harsh? because every minute i watched "The grudge" i thought about "The Ring". The two seem to be alike, but "the Ring " is pretty OK. Maybe not everybody saw the similitude between the two but i think it is obviously. The symbol of the child who had a not-very-nice childhood, the child that walks on the hall of the building, chasing the woman, seems to be the twin sister of Samara, the fact that people die one by one, and they are attracted to the house, etc etc. Now speaking only about "the Grudge", not about "the Ring"...there are fun things like : boo-hoo, the bad spirit lives - of course - in the attic, and innocent-looking persons die first...if you want a really good, equilibrated, thrilling movie of the genre, watch "The Exorcist" (the old one) ;)
