I've seen Volvér about two weeks ago... It isn't the best film by Almodovar in my opinion... But it's still worth of watching, absolutely! Mostly this film seemed to be a honour to all of the women... How they helped each other during the hard time, how they shared the days of happiness...it's really touching in our time when you barely know who your neighbour is... Also death as one of the main themes is a really interesting idea and Almodovar handles it well even though he could have used his talent and make it even more exciting but whatever. I don't want to be too hard on him because he's definately one of the best movie directors in our time. Seeing Carmen Maura acting in the movie was a nice suprise and especially the part where she's watching her own movie in the tv with a smile on her face (I found out after i saw the movie though) So my rating.....8,5/10

Star wreck - the pirkinning Though I almost never can find the time to watch movies, I have seen this movie twice this week. It is an amazing movie, made by a couple of friends. It took them 7 years to make it, they used most simple and cheap materials and settings. If you see how they did it, it is hard to believe. The special effects are at least as good as in other films of this kind, maybe even better. The acting is very okay, lightning, sound, details, everything is very good. And the humor is excellent! This film is so funny and so original. Everyone should see it! trailer and info: www.starwreck.com/

ina : This film has been chosen to represent the Spanish film industry in the Oscars this year. There were another two films, Alatriste by Diaz Yanes and another film I don't remember the tittle, about the last guy who was put to death in Spain when Franco was alive. The role of the guy killed is played by Daniel Brühl (Goodbye Lennin). I've been very dissapointed that once again Almodóvar's film was the chosen one. I haven't seen neither Almodóvar's nor Brühl's films, and Alatriste was a bit dissapointing for me, but I'd had preferred that the film to go to the oscars weren't an ALmodóvar's since it seems that in Spain we only have Amenabar and Almodóvar as film directors. I see a tendency in the Spanish academy to choose the films of those directors that already had some previous international success. Sumarizing, I'm a bit tired of watching Almodóvar at the Oscars

"Der Wixxer" - a great german comedy movie, starred by some of Germany's most famous comedians. It's a parody on some Edgar Wallace movies. I was about laughing the whole movie through

a movie I've always liked is Fallen.. bit of a weird plot.. A serial killer is executed under the eyes of the detectvie who caught him. Later there are more killings in the same style as the serial killer did. The serial killer left some clues and detective follows them getting intertwined in a plot where Azazel plays part as a presence who moves from person to person using touch. A must see in my opinion.

I was about laughing the whole movie through I agree to that. I also like that kind of movies when they fool around with other movies that everyone knows. As long as it´s funny of course. But this movie IS funny. I hope there will be international versions too, as I think many people might enjoy this movie, not only the Germans.

I'm just watching Warlock. It's still a great movie. I always love films about witches and supernatural things.

not recent, but great movie, Nói albínói (an icelandic movie), Dark Horse (a danish movie, but directed by Dagur Kari, the director of Noi Albinoi) another great movie is Kontroll, a surrealistic hungarian movie Screaming Masterpiece is ...a masterpiece about the musical industry in Iceland.

I saw Marrie Antoinette, it was ok, but nothing special or exciting...and there was nothing about the French Revolution in it so that was disapointing.
I miss all the foreign films that would come here, now there has been virtually nothing from other countries that are shown here now, its sad.

Scroop.
It is the last Woody Allen film and I think that Allen shows that he is at one of the peaks in his career. My friend Cesar, who is an expert on Allen's films, told me once that each five years Allen directs three good films, one spectacular film and one bad film. In the last three years he has done three spectacular films under my point of view. There's something like a genre trilogy, with Melinda & Melinda Allen directed an experiment, a film bioth comedy and drama, the two sides of life; for me it's the best one of the last three. Last year he surprized us with his first film outside USA and moreover it was a drama. It was great, maybe the less Allen film ever, but an amazing film. And now he has closed the experimentation with a return to the comedy, but filmed in The Uk. Scroop is a pure Allen film, and on this one the director is coprotagonist of the film too, a difference with the two previous films. The dialogues are great, very funny; you're laugth from the very begining of the film, and keep on laughthing in the last scene. I won't say what the film is about, but if want to watch a very good comedy, a worthy one, go and watch it. I can't believe that this man doesn't find money for his films!!!! It's unbelievable that we've got to swallow all that Hollywood meaningless and talentless shit and that one of the best film directors and writers ever doesn't find money to make those masterpieces of him... maybe it's because of that, because he's a genious and occidental society is so corrupted that we have lost the sense of what art is.
