Estos meses le puse bastante pila a las películas... mitad que no vi tantas series (no arranqué ninguna nueva) y que tuve bastante tiempo solo en casa (me encanta aprovecharlo para ponerme tranquilo a ver una película, con la luz ambiente y el volumen que se me canta, sin tener que frenarla cada diez minutos por algo).
Ojo, también algunas de estas las vi con la familia, :). Y una en el cine (es obvio cual, ¿no?).
Cloud Atlas: +1. Una GRAN historia, contada de una forma bastante compleja. La peli es larga, y trabaja Tom Hanks, pero así y todo lo vale.
Elysium: +1. Me gustó bastante, la mezcla de futurismo bien hecho tanto en tecnología como en descripción de la sociedad siempre me atrae.
John Dies at the End: -1. De tan bizarra que aburre... tiene dos o tres flashes interesantes, pero no vale su peso en aire.
Movie 43: -0. Tiene algunos cortos con partes graciosas, la mayoría es una bizarrada. Si te gustan las pelis bizarras onda chachacha, dale una oportunidad. Lo que no entiendo es cómo pelis como esta juntan tantos actores de primera linea...
Now You See Me: +1. Muy bueno como se va armando el nudo y el desenlace... como en todo acto de magia, guarda con las distracciones...
Pearl Jam Twenty: +1. Muy buena película! No sólo la historia en sí de Pearl Jam, sino como está contada, mostrada, etc.
RED 2: +0. Muy violenta, como esperaba, pero también divertida (como también esperaba); pochoclera, está bien.
Red Lights: +1. Muy buenas actuaciones para una historia interesante. Cierra por todos lados.
Robot & Frank: +0. Una linda comedia o drama suave. Es interesante, no muy profunda, pero está bien.
Sin retorno: +0. Una buena historia, buenas actuaciones, te mantiene atrapado hasta el final.
The East: +1. Me gustó mucho, no sólo por la temática sino por cómo cuentan los sentimientos y actitudes de las personas involucradas.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: +0. Cierra bien, tiene puentes al resto de la historia, está bien; el detalle es que no es más que una historia para niños
The Man with the Iron Fists: -0. si te gustan las películas de orientales con karate exagerado, mirala, está muy bien hecha. Yo ya confirmo que nunca más una de estas.
The Numbers Station: +0. Una buena película de acción y suspenso.
The Wolverine: -0. Es como todo un poco más de lo mismo... la historia no está del todo mal, pero bleh.
Upside Down: +0. Una comedia romántica ligera, pero muy interesante a nivel de ciencia ficción. Un poco apurado todo al final, sino merecía más puntaje...
World War Z: +0. Bastante buena para ser una película de zombies...
