La lista de películas vistas (y más abajo, las nuevas marcadas para ver), pero con novedad con respecto a los trailers.
La gran ventaja es que dejó de mostrarme "los cinco tanques de hollywood más un puñado de otras cositas" y ahora veo trailers de esas películas más otras argentinas, españolas, francesas, italianas, alemanas, etc. Gané muchísimo en diversidad en ese sentido.
La primera o segunda vez que lo usen quizás les traiga demasiadas ofertas, pero luego se pasa. Es que cada tanto ofrece películas viejas o series, pero como el script se acuerda de lo que uno vio o no quiso ver, entonces si vuelven a aparecer ya las ignora.
En fin, las películas vistas...
ARQ: +0. Es un poco gastada la idea del loop de tiempo, y la base científica es fruta, pero toda la vuelta que le pegaron alrededor de eso está buena.
Approaching the Unknown: -0. Con muchas partes interesantes acerca de la psicología del viajar sólo al espacio... pero en general un embole.
Boyhood: +1. Arranca un poco lento, pero después te atrapa; es muy loco que sea una película filmada a lo largo de 12 años con todos creciendo/envejeciendo en la realidad.
Captain Fantastic: +1. Hermosa, por donde se la mire. Cuantas cosas que te hace replantear, repensar. De cabecera.
Colossal: +0. Muy linda película acerca de reencontrarse a uno mismo, pero desde un punto de vista totalmente extraño, inesperado y rarísimo.
Complete Unknown: +0. Podría ser más dinámica en algunas partes, pero la historia y el planteo general son muy buenos.
Embers: -0. Una buena idea, en una película que no tiene mucha historia, aunque muestra muy bien lo angustiante del asunto...
High-Rise: +0. Bastante bizarra, pero muestra de forma interesante cómo una sociedad se va al carajo (onda Lord of the Flies, pero en un rascacielos).
Kong: Skull Island: +1. Aunque la historia es obviamente conocida, la forma de contarla (especialmente la visión sobre los militares) está muy bien. Y la fotografía y la música son maravillosas.
Kóblic: +0. La historia está buena, la peli es un poco lenta pero zafa. La actuación de Oscar Martinez es genial.
Learning to Drive: +0. Una película chiquita sobre dos personas muy distintas y como terminan ayudándose tanto, muy linda historia.
Manhattan Night: -0. La historia es interesante, las actuaciones también... la cadencia de la película es medio insoportable... muy cansina, con una voz en off que explica todo el tiempo... no me gustó.
Marauders: +0. Parece ser la historia adaptada de un libro, por cómo condensa situaciones en pocos segundos, y está bastante bien a ese nivel, pero no me gustó como estaba armada la película en sí, no sé... "el ritmo"...
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: +0. Me gustó la eterna sucesión de cosas raras, por eso uno busca a Burton, no? Pero después no tuvo mucho más...
Star Wars: The Last Jedi: +0. No tan buena como la primera de la nueva saga, pero zafa y cuenta bastante.
The 9th Life of Louis Drax: +0. rara, arrancando mucho más lento de lo que debía, pero con una historia interesante de fondo.
The Accountant: +1. Me esperaba algo así como la clásica de peleas y tiros, pero me sorprendió mucho para bien (aunque sigue siendo una de peleas y tiros...).
The Dark Tower: -1. Estoy indignado, no la vean. Es como haber reducido los tres tomos del Señor de los Anillos a un cuento de siete páginas.
The Driftless Area: +0. Linda, muy rara, muchos detalles interesantes, pero un poco demasiado lenta...
The Lobster: -0. Demasiado absurda, demasiado volada, aunque no deja de tener partes bastante interesantes...
The Magnificent Seven: +0. Está buena, aunque es sólo una de pistoleros del "viejo oeste"... pero está buena... aunque es sólo (etc).
The Mummy: -0. Tiene un par de vueltas más que interesantes, pero resulta ser "otra peli de tom cruise", todas tan parecidas!
The Reality of Truth: -1. Me hartó en solo 10 minutos el chamuyo de contar medias experiencias saltando a "verdades absolutas" utilizando el camino de dos frases bien construidas. No vale la pena.
Urge: -0. La forma de eliminar la humanidad: dejando que se comporte como es. La idea está buena, pero la película es demasiado volada por un lado, y demasiado pacata por otro.
Welcome to Happiness: +0. Muy bizarra, simpática, y un poco rara con los ritmos. Pero bien.
Wonder Woman: +0. Entretenida, pero sólo una de superheroes...
Zipper: -0. Termina con algún giro interesante, pero es tan predecible todo que ni vale la pena.
Las nuevas! Lo que decía arriba, no todos "tanques joliwudenses"...
