Otra tanda de películas vistas y las anotadas para ver en un futuro.
No hay grandes descubrimientos pero las cuatro +1 que hay son sólidas.
Casi leyendas: -0. Tiene sus partes simpáticas y emotivas, y muchos chistes hacen reir. Pero es demasiado "liviana", casi transparente.
Collateral Beauty: +1. Hermosa película sobre la complejidad en algunos casos de lidiar con el tiempo, el amor y la muerte.
Dunkirk: -0. No está del todo mal... pero no me gustan las pelis de guerra, no me atrae casi nada, lo desastroso de todo alrededor, conceptualmente, hace que no llegue a ver lo interesante...
Ghost of New Orleans: +0. Arranca casi como un cliché caminando, pero después pega algunos giros interesantes que hace que valga la pena.
Girl on a Bicycle: +0. Es una comedia romántica tontona, pero linda y divertida, tiene puntos extras por estar hablada todo el tiempo en una mezcla de inglés, alemán, italiano y francés :).
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: -0. Tiene sus momentos, pero hay una cadencia de chistes o gags que no terminan de ser graciosos, y la película no es mucho más que eso...
Kiki, Love to Love: +0. Comedia liviana pero divertida con eje en distintas parafilias.
Life: +1. Una visión diferente sobre el encuentro de la raza humana con otra vida, en una peli con giros raros, pero no clásicos.
Logan: +1. Me gustó mucho, por todo el lado "real" del asunto; no es una peli de superheroes, es una película dramática normal donde un par son mutantes (y obvio, tiene mucha acción y violencia, pero lo que rescato es lo otro).
Passage to Mars: +1. Es un documental, un poco lento a veces, pero si te interesa como es la exploración de verdad, imperdible.
Personal Shopper: -0. Con partes muy interesantes, y una historia que está bien, pero medio inconexa, muchos agujeros, y le falta como un cierre o propósito.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales: -0. Me aburrió bastante. Es más de lo mismo, no hay nada nada nuevo :(
Spider-Man: Homecoming: +0. Divertida, no mucho más. 100% pochoclera.
T2 Trainspotting: +1. Muy buena música, muy buena fotografía. La historia también está muy bien, pero no sé si se entiende todo si no viste la primera.
The Red Turtle: -0. Es linda, pero muy lenta! Nos costó llegar hasta el final :/
Thor: Ragnarok: +0. La típica de acción de superheroes, pero me divertí bastante, estuvo buena :)
Vampyres: -1. No encontré nada nuevo, ni la terminé de ver aburrido de los sinsentidos de la trama y lo malo de las actuaciones.
Estas son las nuevas anotadas. Estoy viendo que desde hace un tiempo estoy incorporando bastante películas "no en inglés", pero más que nada porque escucho de ellas! Esto es parte de las mejoras que hablé en algún otro post sobre donde encontrar trailers... que todavía no es perfecto, sin embargo... sé que me estoy perdiendo trailers (como el de "First man", acá abajo, que me la recomendó Chaghi), pero prefiero perderme trailers de películas mainstream, que luego me entero por otro lado, que de películas menos promocionadas...

Chavela: (2017; Documentary, Biography, History, Music) Through its lyrical structure, Chavela will take viewers on an evocative, thought-provoking journey through the iconoclastic life of game-changing artist Chavela Vargas.

Perfect Strangers: (2016; Comedy, Drama) On a warm summer evening, the loving couple of Rocco, a plastic surgeon, and Eva, a therapist, are expecting their good friends to share a pleasant evening over dinner. Everything is in order: The first course is ready, the roast is in the oven, the table is set, and without a doubt, this is going to be a gathering of true friends. Before long, the group will begin the feast; however, in this nice but somewhat ordinary dinner, there's certainly something missing. Perhaps, if everyone placed their mobile phones on the table--and like a dangerous Russian roulette--shared whatever arrived (texts, WhatsApp messages and calls), it would spice things up. Clearly, this uncommon truth-or-dare game has no point among friends who share everything with each other; nevertheless, when the phones start ringing, who will be the one with the sweatiest palms?::Nick Riganas [D: Paolo Genovese; A: Giuseppe Battiston, Anna Foglietta, Marco Giallini]
