Entre les Murs (The Class)

This French movie is one of the best film about students and high schools in Europe that I've ever seen. It's a French movie but the story could be totally transplanted to the current situation in Spain (I know this by my friends teachers). It tries to show the reality without any estrange pretentiousness. It's a class! That's all. And... the students and the teachers are awesome. They seem even better than professional actors! I really liked. Very recommendable.

My score: 9 (out of 10)

Revolutionary Road

I think this movie is one of the best that I've seen in years about problems in a marriage. The conversations and the discussions are incredibly good and realistic (almost too much, may be!). And it's brilliant because sometimes you can feel that both have reason! And the faces!... the faces, the gestures, the expressions of Leo and Kate are totally real... and they transmit perfectly feelings and situations without any word! I saw that both of them have maturated A LOT since the cloying "Titanic". If you like to see a good movie you can spend your money with this one. I really recommend this film!

Il Divo

Sometimes realistic, sometimes satiric... this is a good movie to have a slight idea about the Italian politics of their last ten or twenty years. The character of Giulio Andreotti is really good. It's a very surprising and interesting movie.

My score: 9 (out of 10)

RocknRolla

Cool! At last Guy Ritchie woke up! Since I saw "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch", that I love, I was waiting that Guy stops doing stupid and pathetic pseudo-movies (badly influenced I presume by his ex-wife Madonna)... And yeah! This is not his best movie at all, but Mr Ritchie is back! Hope next project about Sherlock Holmes continues the right direction and doesn't disappoint us!

My score: 8 (out of 10)

Gomorrah (Gomorra)

A really good Italian film about the Neapolitan mafia. Sometimes is so real, hard and drama that it seems a documentary. The cast make very well their work. I recommend this movie without a doubt!

My score: 9 (out of 10)

Die Welle (The Wave)

Excellent! A fantastic German movie that shows how the individualism and the lack of ideals can be used by somebody to manipulate the mind, the ideas and the facts of the people, and especially the young people in this case. The film is a good way to show that today it could be again very possible the autocratic government of a bloody and horrible dictatorship in our countries, like the communism or the fascism. I really enjoyed the movie as much as the great "Das experiment" (an other rather similar movie from Germany of 2001) and of course almost as much as the brilliant "American History X" (1998). Very recommendable.

My score: 9 (out of 10)

Burn After Reading

Yeah... the Coen's came back to their typical movies that I love so much :) This is a very funny and sometimes surrealistic film. The rhythm is good and some of the moments are really brilliant. All the cast of people are fantastic, especially Malkovich and McDormand, but everyone are great. A very commendable movie ;)

My score: 8 (out of 10)
