Se7en (1995)
One of those films that make you go "HOLY SH@*" on the inside.
My main comment is "Watch It", watch it and WatCH iT. I don't want to say anything to spoil the fun so just run to your nearest video store and buy it even if it cost you a hundred bucks, do anything to get you hands on them, it is that good! I guarantee it. With my head! Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt kills in this film, kills! This movie is so cool I'm afraid someone will really do it in real life.
I'll just give you a very very brief plot of the story, no spoilers, promise.
2 detectives try to solve a homicide case, one after the other. Thats all I'm gonna tell you, Watch it! NOW!
El laberinto del fauno (2006)
Agree to Disagree
I personally don't like this film and I'll tell you why. This movie tries to mix Schindler's List with Peter Pan, try to picture it and you will get Pan's Labrynth. This movie puts fantasy and horror into it's genre, which is totally ret@*ded, but hey, it won 3 Oscars :) I will admit that it contains a lot of potential to become a really really great movie, but they choose it to go in a direction that I find unacceptable.
Anyways, the 3 Oscars it won was all about effects, which I think they did have good effects, but crappy script and an "OK" acting performance, I do not recommend this for children even though it contains fantasy storyline, it's crap! burn it!
5/10 - Out of Sympathy
The Wooden Camera (2003)
Similar to City of God?
This movie is not at all like City of God, you might get the same feeling but it isn't, there's no intense shooting nor intense drug scenes, you get the idea. If you ask me I think this film was a waste of time, there are a lot of other films which gives 100 times better meaning and teaching than "Wooden Camera". Yes I might be the only one to give a negative comment for this film but it's only in my opinion. It's one of those films where I can get the feeling that I'll be blown away but when the credits start to role my friends and I all gave mutual looks, and we all laughed at how ridiculous this movie was. So to conclude this matter, I advise not to watch it.
Personal note - Making Africans talk English was a big mistake. In City of God they used their native language which gave the film much more power and reality.
