Las viudas de los jueves (2009)
Good, but I expected more
After having watched Marcelo Piñeyro's "El Metodo" and being breath taken by it, I was very exited to learn that he is making a new movie, "Las viudas de los jueves" with two of the El Metodo's cast. Being so impatient to watch this movie, in the mean time I found the book the movie is based on by Claudia Piñeiro and read it. It was a great book, so my expectations rose. But just because I read the book, I think I liked the movie less. Probably it is hard to capture all the aspects that I loved about the book, but what really bothered me was that the movie intervened a bit in the characters and even the story. Anyway it is a good movie, well acted, well produced, it has the right atmosphere. But yet, I 'll stick to liking the book and also "El metodo" much more.
Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Best Sherlock Holmes on screen ever!!!
Best Sherlock Holmes on screen ever!!! And this is coming from a person who grew up reading and re-reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyles' stories :) Congrats to Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law! Great acting, actually they are the Holmes and Watson I had in mind while reading the stories. And of course congrats to Guy Ritchie! Thanks God that someone recreated this great fiction and got away from the boring deerstalker hat Holmes. Up till now House was the best Holmes, but now RDJ nailed it :) And to all of you crying that Holmes is ruined, Jeremy Brett is not Sherlock :) Well, that's all I had to say, but since I have to make minimum length of 10 lines, I'll add: Go see it, it is worth it! :)
Mad Men (2007)
Show that demands a lot from the viewer, but gives it all back :)
Not that would make a difference to anyone who decided this show is not worth their time, but I would advise all of you who say you can't see what the hype is about this show, to try watching it again. But this time concentrated, without any distractions, paying attention to what is said, but also to what is not said. Cause one of the greatest beauties of this series is how much it is said with out saying. Everything is so real, and I'm not talking about the reconstruction of the era (which is almost flawless) but about the characters. They are real people with real people's dreams, fears, anxieties, hopes... Definitely the best series I have ever watched. It is worth every second. Worth watching it again and again, because you'll always find some detail that you might have missed the first time.
