French Toast (2015)
Surprised
But not enough. The story is OK if you need a romantic movie for a lazy weekend morning, and I didn't mind the Afrikaans that I barely understand, but sounds pretty good to my ears, but as a Frenchman I must say, why didn't enroll French people for the roles of French people, it made me not believe the story, and frankly, I could have.
El club de los incomprendidos (2014)
Don't you olvida about me
It is a cute Spanish homage to Breakfast Club. The acting is irregular and there are lacks that could have easily been avoided. But, surprisingly, the movie is entertaining and mostly fluent. It will help you practice your Spanish understanding skills and will introduce you to a few nice urban landscapes of Madrid. Don't raise your expectations too much, though. If you're a lover of classic Spanish movies, I definitely don't think this one will be remembered to be a part of them. Main actress, the beautiful Charlotte Vega, might have a remarkable career if she plays her cards well (and learns a thing or two more about acting).
No-Do (2009)
Good history. Absolutely believable. (I hadn't thought that in years)
Whenever I decide to watch a horror movie, I always take in consideration the fact that I will probably be disappointed. Thus, when I see a movie such as this one, I am grateful. I like the fact that the movie misleads you until a certain point. I like the fact that the movie treats with respect certain subjects related to faith and beliefs. I like the fact that though this movie brings back clichés and stories that maybe were already told, it always uses an original and renewed point of view. AND, it is frightening, it really is. The acting is superb, the scenery is fantastic, with landscapes Grey and disturbing. If you know a bit about recent Spanish history, you'll discover how this story could actually be based on true facts. And if you know the mountains around Madrid, you'll feel how this atmosphere suits the narration. I warmly recommend this movie, specially if you liked the last Spanish Armada of horror movies. This is, I believe, one of the best.
Les petits mouchoirs (2010)
Not a good French Movie..
Though parts of the movie might be enjoyable, characters don't succeed in building a plausible plot. This isn't a consequence of the actors' performance which goes from correct to very good, but it is due to a deep weakness of the whole of the script. It lacks order, fails in getting rid of some parts that are not only not necessary, but also harmful for the storytelling. Much of the situations and relationships are much too false to construct a movie. And I don't believe a different script-writing would have succeeded in doing so. While the movie pretends to be deeper than a comedy, it is much too superficial; much remains unexplained, and too many topics are boringly recurring. Even the few surprises in the plot lack of narrative power to change the overall.
