The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
A great and lovely movie!
Firstly at all, I want to tell I haven't seen the shorts about Wallace and Gromit made before. Just know one of them won a Oscar Award in 1985 or something like so. I also know the creator is the one who made Chicken Run, which I loved.
And, I saw this movie with Spanish dubbing (latin American), so I wasn't be able to see the Sellis, Fiennes and Bonham Carter's works. I guess I have to wait till the DVD version in order to do it.
But, what a great movie. Funny, sweet and lovely, all at the same time. I just loved the first picture they showed to us, that one where are Wallace and the one year old Gromit. And then all that stuff about vegetables and the people's worries about their carrots, pumpkins and cauliflowers. And all those references to those old movies, were just great; I laughed out loud with the King Kong one (maybe because I just saw the trailer a moment before). I totally loved Lady Tottington with her dresses and her hair. And Victor's dog. I want to see this movie again! And can't wait for the DVD.
Everyone have to see this movie. Definitely one of the best of this year.
The Skeleton Key (2005)
The great ending makes it worthy
Well, I saw this movie last night and I liked it. It's that kind of film that makes you think about certain inexplicable things.
This is a good movie with good acting. Kate Hudson proves her acting abilities once more. And Gena Rowlands as Mrs. Devereaux is fine too.
Maybe the weakness is the slow beginning and the screenplay. There is a moment where you ask what's wrong with the movie, why there is not more dynamic in it. But, as the ending is closer, you can see more action and then that unexpected and great final that left you thinking 'Oh, poor Caroline, it would been better for her to give up', but then we hadn't been given this magnificent ending. It was a bonus.
Wuthering Heights (1992)
I cannot live without my life. I cannot live without my soul.
I just saw this movie a week ago. And, I loved it. Then I read the book (I couldn't do it before, but now I tried to find a chance), and I must say this movie is very faithful. It shows the real darkness from the book, even when I was reading this book I couldn't help some images from the movie come into my mind.
The cinematography, the music and, overall, the performances, are great. Actually, I love Ralph Fiennes's acting the most. His Heathcliff is just as dark, evil, tormented and hurt as Emily Brontë describes him. Despite of his evil, one feels sympathy about him, one feels sorry for him, one wants to know more about his origin, who is him truly. Very good job, indeed. It doesn't surprise to me that Spielberg had chosen Ralph Fiennes as his Schindler's List's Amon Goeth after had seen such a good work.
I also think that the scriptwriter chose the best phrases from the book, I especially love Heathcliff's speech after Cathy's death, next to that tree, very touching, and when he says "I cannot live without my life, I cannot live without my soul" (which Cathy had already said before when Heathcliff runs away and she goes to Linton's home) I almost burst in tears.
Those who love classic stories and very good movies based on them, must see this.
