DÃas de Fútbol 1.5/5
Misogynistic, homophobic, racist, wholly dislikeable characters, boring, visually uninteresting... Literally worst film I've seen in years :(
*and that 1.5 is only because I thought the main character was mildly cute.

it just came out on dvd in north america a few days ago, so you should be able to rent it anywhere.
the plaid soundtrack works really, really well with some of the scenes, but other times it just comes across as a regular movie soundtrack. so basically hit and miss with some really good hits.

9 songs - 2.5/5 - definitly the most sexually explicit british film ever! enough to make anyone blush. was a bit too much though, makes one feel like a voyeur. i would give it a higher mark but there was just too much sex. but that's just it, winterbottom says it was his idea to tell the story through the sex but i don't want to see it, makes me kind of reflect on myself as a participant of sex where i rather prefer not think of myself as a participating actor, even though i am but i just want to do it not think about it cause when im doing it i look like them and they look awful doing it and you can kind of see these pretenses in the intimacy and what a farce it can sometimes be .... fuck! it's a good movie, okay. i just never want to see it again!

obnoxious, stock music intruding through every single scene, shots that never last more than ten seconds, cheesy camera angles, cartoonish characters, attempts at manipulating the audience's emotions, cgi, etc are all things i equate with hollywood-style movies. this film simply didn't do anything for me.
the best part was that baby plant thing. that thing rocked.

and by cartoonish characters i don't mean the faun. i mean the captain and the rebel army and the mother and the maid. the little girl was pretty good in spots but some scenes, like where she eats the grapes, were just silly.

forbidden planet - 5/5 - big budget hollywood sci-fi. awesome! including some really primitive futuristic equipment such as the giant compass, the funny looking sound frequency modulator and not to mention the impractical robby the robot. favourite moment: when robby describes the weapon he's holding as "a simple blaster". don't ask me why, it made me happy.

this film is like almost 2 and a half hours, and the pacing is real slow. but not once did i find myself bored or my mind trailing off and thinking about other things. it's beautifully filmed and good movie all round i'd say.

Glory to the Filmmaker (Takeshi Kitano): essentially impossible to rate, second in his supposed trilogy of self-critical, self-reflective, self-mocking metamovies...
The film that started off this trilogy, called Takeshis', from two years ago, was something I really enjoyed after repeated viewings, because it culminated his career up to that point. This current film does nothing of the sort. It is a meta-meta-movie, a non-movie, a post-movie... and, underneath it all, just a series of random scenes, gags and fragmentary ideas (closer to his comedy Getting Any from the mid-90's than anything he's done before or since).
At parts, I found the film pretentious, self-righteous and uninvolving, at others I was completely at loss of words (whether because of absurdity, incoherence or complete disregard for the audience), to the degree that I simply decided I would postpone my judgement for some other day... Well, that "other day" is today, but I still can't make up my mind.
All in all, one has to appreciate Kitano's vision and uniqueness, but this film works only as a meta-statement of the art of movie making, and most viewers will probably find it to be, rightly or wrongly, an irredeemable piece of trash.
I kinda liked it. It's not good enough to classify as Dada, but it's just a notch above kitsch.

spanish movie not excellent, but nice to watch nonetheless
why not excellent?
well it is about 4 math "geniouses" in a room where they must solve several mind games
the thing that disspaointed me the most is the fact that the mind games are old and easy... less than what you would expect as a real challenge for a math genious
apart from the movie is good
