Se nota que le dediqué tiempo a la series, porque no vi tantas películas estos meses.
10 Rules for Sleeping Around: -0. Una comedia de elaboradísimo enredos, bastante divertidas por partes, pero muy, muy mala.
And So It Goes: -0. Comedia sencilla, medio touchy, pero nada que termine de valer la pena.
Jupiter Ascending: +0. Mucha acción, tiros y persecuciones, más una chica y un chico, mucho lugar común, bah... pero estuvo interesante, especialmente por la mezcla de iconografías y explicaciones pseudocientíficas que daban :). Notable colección de actores conocidos, también.
Kingsman: The Secret Service: +0. Como una de James Bond pero en joda. Divertida, pasatista.
Kon-Tiki: +0. El hombre y sus obsesiones. Gran historia, maravilloso que sea verdad :) Muy bien filmada, aunque un toque lenta en algunos momentos.
Only You: +0. Comedia romanticona de mitad de los 90, deberían saber de lo que hablo. Así y todo está linda: Marisa Tomei y Robert Downey Jr. en Italia :)
Perfect Sense: +0. Me encanta como muestra lo que pasaría en la situación hipotética que describe, más allá que no trata de explicarla, me encanta como está filmada, actuada.
Radio Free Albemuth: -1. Con una trama rara, muy lenta, poco creíble, no me llevaba a nada, a duras penas terminé de verla.
Reservoir Dogs: +1. Un clásico absoluto, un Tarantino de pura cepa. Impecable.
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen: +1. Una hermosa historia, con el tipo de humor que me gusta, con unos paisajes increibles y buenas actuaciones.
Sleeping with Other People: +0. Una comedia romanticona divertida.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens: +1. Bien hecha, bien contada, con mil guiños, y con un detalle interesante (teniendo en cuenta que es una película, y que es de ciencia ficción): creible.
The Intern: +0. Es una comedia simpática, bien llevada, buenas actuaciones y con ritmo.
The Signal: -0. A nivel argumento con algo de sentido en una parte, pero demasiado volado todo alrededor, y el resto de la peli que simplemente no suma.
Transcendence: +0. Con muchas partes demasiado fantasiosas, pero el núcleo del asunto da para pensar bastante; muy interesante para disparar puntos de vista.
