Just relaxing
14 February 2009
Time has passed before seeing a film that was so heart warming and involving. I have ever loved slow and sometimes annoying movies. But for some reason I wasn't intrigued by the genre anymore (just know one of my favorite is 'Aliens''86).

I started watching it and I felt so charmed by it all. The story is practically inexistent but you won't mind.The visual aspect and how things are going in this lovely and simple way can't let you indifferent.

As some others said it is although sensual and homo erotic. Such a relationship between father and son is almost unthinkable but not impossible. This in fact is not that important seen the poor story 'content'.

If you watch this movie in a relaxed way you will feel very good in the end, especially if you're not going with the idea of expecting great things.

Lake Placid 2 (2007 TV Movie)

How could this been made
29 August 2008
I was excited (even not too much) to see this sequel. In the end I had preferred even not knowing about the existence of it.When I saw the name of John Schneider I thought it could have been watchable even for a TV flick. Nothing was more wrong.

Anyway, at the first place the visual effects are so bad! Important for a SF film.The acting isn't that great but quite acceptable over all.

Here they wanted to show us the ferocity of the crocodile but with such (pore)effects they had done better showing us a little less cruelty of the monster.It has a wrong turn to it.

I'm not used to give such a low vote, I always try to see if there's something to save(I gave "Jaws 4" 1 but just changed that in a 2)in a work.Here it is impossible to me.

acting/directing...?
28 August 2005
I watched this film because I love Jennifer Tilly but how could I have done such a mistake!It's even unthinkable that this movie is from '87.The script could have been set down better but it could be overseen if we aren't too pretentious.But what I can't forgive is the incredible bad acting performance what could have been a bit better(in my opinion)if the directing qualities were more professional.Anyway this was not the spot I suppose.They just wanted to give a popular sci-fi teen movie that fitted fine in that years.IF you want watch it if you're curious, eventually I did the same but if you avoid it it's better.

Human Nature (2001)
7/10
one scene can sometimes be enough
22 June 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Nice movie with and without up's and down's .

***contains possible spoiler*** THere is just one scene I loved so much. it's the one at the almost end of the film. The little mice were going to get free in the woods.When Ptricia Arquette opens the 'most obvious Plexiglas gate' the mice ignore it and prefer the more elegant way to open it with the 'Plexiglas door with handle'.I'ts really hilarious.I hope people will agree.***end*** . Then the movie in all his aspects is nice shot and the actors are doing a nice job.enjoyable.Just for that 'stupid scene' it's worth.And of course not forget the ethic way of thinking of the story.But at the same time it's ignored by giving an ironic vision of what science mean to us now in biological way and is disable to handle in modern times.

Clara's Heart (1988)
6/10
tender even if we know the end
19 May 2004
Well I must say this is nothing new to us what concerns the plot.But I loved it unconditioned for what it is expected.Perhaps my rating(***/1/2)is not really to agree. But I I had nice feelings on the movie.It was really likely.Just from the beginning you could expect how it was going on.The acting of whoopie is not that we are known about but not bad.The little boy is interesting along the film. He gives that little way of speeding Clara that gives you the taste to watch it.It was nice to me (even it's not my favorite genre).It's hard to make eleven lines if you have to say less about it.I can't sing glory till the end. But you won't disagree totally to this film.

Irreversible (2002)

bad directing
29 August 2002
It's not the movie it self that I didn't like, but the extremely bad and nervous manner of directing! And don't tell me why? I can guess it by myself.The idea of beginning by the end of the plot is quite nice.I really looked forward to see it but despite it did not the work to me.

A Simple Plan (1998)

Good movie but the novel was better
26 December 1999
I looked forward to see this movie and must say that the result is quite good.Nevertheless I preferred the novel written by Scott Smith.Anyway the actors were well chosen for the characters they had to play, in particular way the part of Jacop played by Billy Bob Thornton(even if I don't like him very well as actor).Finally I must say that the film brings you a tensed sensation and that's what the author meant to transmit in his book. So the purpose has been achieved.
