Buena temporada para ver películas fue. Muchas vistas, pero con resultados variados... mucho voto negativo, y un sólo +1!
Beginners: +0. Linda película sobre la aceptación de lo que uno es. Muy buenas actuaciones, y lindo como está contada.
Chef: +1. Linda película sobre la búsqueda de lo que te divierte hacer y vivir. Imperdible si te gusta cocinar o ver cocinar.
Drinking Buddies: +0. Relaciones humanas, tan difíciles. Esta peli muesta un lado que no siempre se explicita, entre la amistad y la atracción, muy buena.
Edge of Tomorrow: +0. No es Groundhog Day, pero está bien tratado el tema. Y el resto de la peli divierte, pero termina siendo sólo una peli de acción.
Guardians of the Galaxy: -0. Todo lo que es construcción de bichos o mundos extraterrestres, está muy bien, y tiene bastantes partes con buen humor... pero el resto es muy childish, no termina de armar una película en serio.
Her: +0. Una buena historia, destacando que las relaciones humanas son siempre desde el punto de vista de las partes que componen la relación.
I Give It a Year: +0. Una comedia romántica suave. Todo predecible, nada particularmente interesante, pero vale la pena si estás buscando algo pasatista.
In a World...: -0. Una comedia semi-romántica, con nada especialmente interesante para destacar.
Leonera: +0. Cruda y fuerte como todas las de Trapero, pero es más importante la historia, que está buena.
Lucy: -0. Tiene partes muy interesantes, pero es demasiado flashera, demasiado... poco sustentable.
Mindscape: +0. Un thriller que te tiene hasta último momento tratando de entender lo que pasa. Me gustan las pelis así, especialmente cuando al final explican todo :)
Non-Stop: -0. Tiene algunos giros interesantes, y un suspenso y una resolución que fueron lo que me llevaron a verla... pero realmente, todo termina en un "suave" que no vale la pena :/
Out of the Furnace: -0. Con buenos actores, y aunque la historia está bien, deja demasiada cosas sin explicar o a medio sugerir.
Passion: -0. La historia podría estar buena... pero está mal "contada", las situaciones están mal llevadas, no tiene ritmo. Y el final... bleh.
Primer: -0. Interesante, pero muy rebuscada. Aplica un concepto que está piola, pero le sobra mucho alrededor y finalmente no explica bien lo que pasa.
Sabotage: -0. Tiene sus momentos interesantes, el misterio, la dinámica de algunas personas, la violencia cruda... pero no suma. No suma.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For: -0. La fotografía es simplemente maravillosa, impecable, exhuberante... pero no tiene mucha historia, y es muy monótono todo.
The Family: +0. Típica comedia de gangsters, sin muchas pretensiones pero divertida :)
The Grand Budapest Hotel: +0. Bizarra, divertida, dinámica. Me gustó mucho la forma en que está contada, y la fotografía es GENIAL. Alta concentración de actores buenos, también...
The Kitchen: -0. Tiene sus momentos que valen algo, y es interesante la dinámica de filmar todo desde una habitación, pero no mucho más.
The Lifeguard: +0. Una linda historia sobre la búsqueda de qué ser, de que hacer con la vida.
Wakolda: +0. Interesante historia (no sé cuanto de verídica), buena peli.
X-Men: Days of Future Past: -0. Por momentos interesante, especialmente el juego de pasado/futuro, pero más de lo mismo, y aburre que no haya nada nuevo. Demasiado pasatista.
