Cant wait for the next batle
30 September 2019
Nice tv serie, i don't know how can be ppl trying to stop the next season.

Why ppl dont let be, and don't ley everyone choose ,like adam did, why to try to avoid a next season just because the catholics are mad.

And amazing montage, nice direction, nice acting, just a little complains about some 3d effects. but the script, adaptation, lighting, camera , edition and everything else were dice done.

Can't wait to the next battle between humans vs heaven+hell and new retrospectives from Aziraphale & Crowley, there are so many things to tell us about them.

nice movie, a decent film
21 September 2019
Difficult for me, to give a Mexican movie a round of applause, I think this movie deserves it in a way, when I saw it at the festival, I thought it would be another one, same plot as always, poor, criminals, and corrupt authorities (what that is lived daily in Mexico and what it seems is the only thing that is produced filmically in Mexico), more than ready to give my harsh criticism in the first minutes where everything seemed to be the usual, but after a few minutes, it I notice the difference, and that is appreciated, without a doubt Issa Lopez not only knew how to structure the script, but also managed to take the film, in certain aspects if I would have liked a better photograph, the assembly is too subtle, I miss more, the production and postproduction It was well taken, the use of 3d is inperceptible, which is good. Child performance was somewhat fair, even if having achieved a little more feeling from the children would have been grateful, for thematic and type of narration I think it was a decent delivery.

good but it could be better
16 August 2019
A decent movie, much more could be done with this story, one would expect to experience the anguish and despair of attempt after attempt to escape, from an agony in life, but it was too subtle and smooth how this story took, good costumes good atmosphere of time but the important thing story leaves much to be desired. perhaps another director a little more involved in psychological or horror plots would have given a better line to the story.

a feeling of incompleteness
16 August 2019
As for the actor who plays charles, being fair he did a good job, the movie leaves a feeling of incompleteness, it is quite missing a lot, in some scenes the montage was so ideal, in others not so much, the narrative somewhat confusing and The end leaves much to be desired. For a characters and a family so controversial, a lot could be done, the characters, the plot, the story were wasted, but a lack of a better script and better direction.

nice but could be better
14 May 2019
Having grown up with the caricature, and the written novel, after the multiple chapters of stories and adventures between Mr. Vitali and Remi, I can say that the film was too short, the Mr. Vitali lacked a little more harshness in the character, although the expression of the child that makes remi is correct could be better more from him ,Remi have to much to give. That feeling of empathy to their sad eventualities as it is the novel, was something that I lack in this film, it is achieved in a certain way an empathy but for those who read and grow up with that story, it leaves you with a feeling of emptiness, it's fine but not ... the photography is quite pleasant in the film, there is no doubt that the locations were successful, although generations that had never heard of Remi, feel a pity for the character, but to be honest needed much more tragedy and a little more film . you get to the end so fast, and at the end of the plot that leaves you with I want more, I think the right thing would have been a trilogy, in the best of cases the classic part 1 and 2, so that the story had more impact and a better outcome of the plot.

It is always nice to pick up things from childhood.

It's something you have to see
29 January 2019
For me it was not easy to tell me to see a Mexican series, since these tend to be a total failure, but thx to my friend i see crows club, no doubt since the first chapters the magic of the Iglesias brothers make's you to be a addicted to this serie, that interweaves a comedy plot with a 100% mexican satire, there is no doubt that the binomial of these two actors is the main attraction, but there are also secondary actors who at certain moments take on the role of principals, a profound criticism social to the mafia of the futball, where the owners of equipment accommodate games to their benefit, and where it is clear that the money behind this sport corrupts anyone, there is no doubt that the seasons go to more, the first 3 are the bomb, the fourth, down a bit, take a more retrospective plot to explain the life of each character, and turn a little more serious to our principals, the end itself seems a bit forced, I think they could make a one more season, to give the opportunity to defend what cost them so much, recommended 100% this series, and believe me for me it is difficult to say this but it is a point and aside to the badly done that is usually done in Mexico, this is Something very thought, directed, produced and achieved.

if your fan of animation, dont watch this
3 January 2019
Honestly, this movie is the perfect way to not do animation, 3D modeling and characters movement is basic and bad, the camera moves are horrible, the characters are lame , it was a total disappointment. it is as if we saw the beginnings of animation years ago, in its most failed attempts, when today animation is something quite polished, everything that is hair is treated as a solid paste of pixels, without movements or textures, like 2d. the story well better no mention that and the plot will bore any adult and any child of over 5 years old.

The Toybox (2018)
1/10
disappointing and misdirected
18 September 2018
Not only has a bad direction, the performance of the cast is bad, the plot could have been more entertaining if it had been directed correctly,it is the typical movie where the "house" has life and kill everyone, the movements of camera are flat, there are no perspectives, lacking lighting, has nothing, is not a movie I would recommend, there is not much to say about a film that is lacking in everything, I still do not understand how certain films get budget, and how directors so young can perform such a bad job.

Fun comedy with asubtle criticism
23 July 2018
A comedy with a very subtle criticism. in moments the movie makes you think that an aggressive criticism will come and with the interest of denouncing the inequality of sex , in life and in church as well as the false devotion, but ends up being a critic as with fear, very limited and with that missing of go for the kill to give it a greater impact to the plot.

this film, with low budget and made by students of the ESCAC, in the technical film, is not all bad, there are very well lit scenes, subtle camera movements, in terms of production and post production we can say that the most successful in this film is the montage, there is no doubt that the music helps a lot to a movie and I can say that the film lack in direction power and satire in the denunciations and criticisms of certain current issues, but the music complements that gap a lot.

For those who are fans or followers of Spanish films, or in their case have participated in spain movies ,will enjoy the film.

As for the plot, it is interesting to see a perspective on the issue of equality of genre in religious live and in brotherhoods, without a doubt the locations and festivities of Malaga, Spain give that visual extra that every movie wants plus the gypsy and flamenco sounds.

A pity that worldwide this film does not have the diffusion that should have, instead of just stay at the local market.

Champions (I) (2018)
9/10
Nice movie, nice crew & a good message
20 April 2018
In the ironic world in which we live today, where the rights for all should be something common and accepted, where discrimination should be a word forgotten by the past, we realize that for nothing sexual,gender rights or worst in basic human rights as being able to be treated the same regardless of physical aspects or medical differences, the human is still being unable to treat the others as he would like to be treated himself .

In this film we see this reality, but we also see how that assumption we always make in the face of what others can and can not do ends up being wrong.

The improvement and achievements that for some do not seem to be the great thing, for many is an epic achievement.

This film is not only well done in the film aspect, it also gave in the background aspect a lesson , that I hope many apply in their lives.

Not always the best movies have implicit the great effects, famous actors, and millionaire budgets, in this case the casting was perfect choice, the touch that the protagonists in real life are people with "mental disability", and I think they should be an example for many actors that today are more divas than what they act, the movie gave us also a script well taken, turns in to a comedy that takes you to the joy at times, (not simple laughs) and that true feeling sensation , and a very good direction that I think has merits that I hope the academy and the public in general can recognize.

For last ,remember we all are the same ............HUMANS, the movies should be this, something inclusive, as everything else should be

A movie that has to be seen by everyone, 100% enjoyable and to have a good time at the cinema

Winchester (2018)
6/10
It's like seeing an alter version of Rose Red
18 April 2018
There is no doubt that terror is still a genre that we all like and that we all seek, something very curious that I found in the first moments of the film was that the main plot shares too many similarities with Rose Red the miniseries of 2002 by Stephen King's , A mansion that never ends to build and that has a familiar curse, being in Rose Red a self-construction on the part of the same mansion and in Winchester an interminable construction since each would have his room.

I can not say that it is a terrifying movie, but something that coincides with the others that have left a comment, is that it is indeed a horror genre movie that does not fall into the horror of comedy, quite enjoyable and with a continuous plot .

Something I can be a bit more critical of is lighting, where there are faults, because they try to bring an environmental lighting based on electric light and candles, and ends up being a flat and overhead lighting in almost the entire film , omitting totally the effect that a candle lighting generates.

The assembly itself is fine, the performances are corde to what the film required, and unfortunately the moments of attempted fright are too predictable.

In itself, totally recommendable and perfect for popcorns.

Much Ado About Nothing /as spanish ppl says mucho ruido pocas nueces
8 February 2018
Although this movie has been a mediatic racket, I must say that they are more words than what the film really is, without a doubt Guillermo del Toro is not a bad director, but I think media and some nomination for some prices have made an ocean out of a glass of water.

The movie itself is not bad, it is somewhat slow, but had to be like that since it is more a romantic plot than nothing else, but it has good things of which we can talk.

Let's start asking ourselves: is it a movie to win the Oscar for the best movie?

the answer is a NO, and to give it would only confirm the little validity that the academy has to choose the winner, however I believe that this film deserves at least a nomination for photography, in terms of music, costumes, script, I do not think it deserves nomination since there was nothing special about these.

Let's talk about photography, Possible oscar

The photography is based on a hard lighting, based on making the environment and the shapes stand out, giving them the greatest visual importance, and that is this film, a visual guide in a time not so past, where the black and white issues, where the sexual taste were taboos, which shows you a perspective of an impossible romance.

Takes in its development good camera angles, although in some shots I think it took more movements with dolly, that would have given a better reach to the scene, open shots predominate, always guiding the viewer as we mentioned earlier that this will enter more in the environment than in the history of a romance. Even the lighting that is the same from beginning to end fits perfectly in each shot.

So you should watch the movie, Yes, you would love it, depends , if u like romance drama yes, if your more into a interesting story, the answer is no.

A movie that has to be seen.
4 February 2018
There is no doubt that when a film has a script, costume, photography, makeup, direction more than good, and a plot that really immerses you in the story, it is something that has to be seen.

A script with a historical touch, since it focuses the plot during the Franco era, in the Spanish dictatorship, something very original to center the story in the life of a circus as well as its characters, playing from romance, jealousy, envy, hatred, resentment, loneliness, but above all the struggle for a revenge of a love that is unique as that of a father or a mother.

excellent direction of photography, good angles, lighting, movements, very good editing, music always ready with the scene, a good performance, but what it takes for me the best of the best is the costumes, and especially the characterization makeup-costumes of the protagonist the clown, javier. I can say that in the history of cinema, this clown in his whole (makeup, costumes, and acting), is one of the top 5 in the history of cinema.

A failure!
4 February 2018
A film without grace and without a well-executed script, an unfortunate montage, a flat photography, nothing innovative, nothing fun and completely a waste in something that many of us who grew up watching the cartoon would have enjoyed if the right decisions had been made, starting with-how the movie was made, and having a better direction.

A plot forced to give a half message of father son relationship, with themes of divorce and young stepmother that nothing fits into a movie where the protagonist should be woody. But mistakenly they put him as a third actor, and focus more on the plot of the poor child with separated parents, and an absent father who seeks to recover the place with his son.

I think the correct line would have been pure animation, without the need to interact with the real human world, in this way they would have brought to the plot characters that complete woody like Buzz Buzzard, Wally walrus to name a few, and maybe in its second part and to have an interaction with humans, in the human world, as it was the new series.

The Revenant (I) (2015)
1/10
what the academy's saw? one of the most boring films ever
24 May 2016
The cinema has given us lessons on how to make boring movies, like Titanic, Gravity and now Revenant, But Iñarritu seems to dominate how kill a story in an ocean of boredom.

The photography is not bad, but wasn't the best,a photography without interesting perspectives, without interesting lighting, they didn't play with shadows, nothing interesting is a picture that you see in any documentary about nature with low budget, several documentaries achieve better images and they are not nominated to Oscars.

It remains in doubt the veracity that the academy has, to reward movies that don't deserve be projected, as it was this. The plot is predictable, repetitive and did not bring anything new to the industry, the performance is regrettable,

If you have sleep problems this could be the cure, you will fall sleep several times.

was more landscaper film than a survival story.

Don't waste your life time, life is to short to waste your time on earth watching this film.

Total disappointment
22 May 2016
Having grown up with the original cartoon version (1967) was expecting something much better than what I saw years ago when I was a kid, this version leaves much to be desired, photography & Visual FX are horrible,they abused the overexposing of the image almost all the time trying get a high key but they fail badly,and even worse in dark scenes the lighting was so bad, they should play with a more real natural illumination instead the forced digital light they used all time, There is no real performance of the main character the child, expressionless and flat emotions throughout the development of the story. To sad they wasted the opportunity to have done something unique, Animation is another mistake of this production, they should follow the example of Life of Pi, since there was too much difference between the real person and everything else, there wasn't this neutrality the film need it, to immerse yourself in the plot. Some scenes look very forced and as pure filler to cover a time. Was a total disappointment
