Transformers: The Movie (1986s version)
If you haven't seen the transformers(animation) and you think: I'm gonna check it out to see what was so great; well don't.
This is laughable animation. The story doesn't explain anything so it's clear you HAD to have watched the cartoons before seeing the movie. There is no suspense or sense of time in this movie. from earth to their home planet is about 20mins in ship. when a hero dies, they just go on without anything happening. "oh no! jimmy's dead!, oh well, let's keep fighting."
so overall, if you wanted to see the hype of the serie, you're 20years too late.
My overall rating is:4.9/10
Amores Perros (2000)
Even though i saw this movie many times when it came out 7yrs ago, I still wanted to buy the DVD to show to my gf. And just like I thought, she loved it just as much as me.
This movie is in the same line as 21grams, crash, babel, etc.. where it's a mix of stories where everyone affects the others. but made so much better in my opinion!
It follows the story of 3 groups of people. all centered on a car crash. And like the name mentions, (amores perros = love's a bitch or love dog), it also has dogs as the theme for all 3 stories.
If you enjoyed any of the movies i mention in the start of this review, and if you like great, well acted, well directed movies, I highly recommend this one.
It is subtitles but the DVD i bought had the french audio but to get the full effect, watch it in spanish. it's a whole lot better.
My overall rating for this movie is: 9.5/10
Jackie Brown (1997)
Even though I'm a big Tarantino fan, I had only seen this movie once.
So on my 2nd viewing 10yrs later, I remembered why. It's not that the movie is bad or anything like that, it's just that its a generic movie.
The characters don't interest me as much as in his other movies and the story line is good but not great. once you seen it, theres not that much to see again. It's probably because the start is so great that towards the middle, i get kinda bored.
I will say that if you enjoy the movie style and dialogue of pulp fictions and other movies like that, then you will definitely enjoy this movie atleast once.
I won't say a single thing on the story because it might ruin it. All i'll say is, when you watch it, remember it's called JACKY BROWN, not Samuel L Jackson.
My overall rating for this movie is: 7.5/10
