I was only mildly into comics as a kid, but my favorite character by far was the bitter and wounded Frank Castle, a man whose family had been murdered and whose search for vengance had turned him into a hard wired killing machine.

Amazing that an experimental-type film actually managed to win the Reel 13 shorts contest this week (The other experimental film offered up by Reel 13 – Everyday – didn't fare so well – and rightly so).

Existence is suffering and a person who realize that real rule have to be lonely. and supposing drugs as medicine for that awareness and pain is completely an evidence for existence is a real sadistic occurrence.

Chris Marker is best known, perhaps, for his landmark sci-fi short Le Jetée, the inspiration for Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys.

Review of Love in the Time of Cholera
This novel is fascinating because the way it was written, but when transported to a movie it didn't quite do it. It is some what entretaining and Giovana (Fermina Dasa) does a good job. But the screen writting falls short of what they could have done, specially at the end ... read more Posted on 11/30/07 by: juanico Comments (0 ) "No Country for Old Men" Review and Analysis

I (really) wanted to like this movie, but I did not. I thought the plot line was contrived and implausible and I was thoroughly bored. It had a cute ending for sure, but I felt the whole movie was just playing off the current popularity of Steve Carrell.

An ingenius and well crafted melodrama starring great actors in superb character roles.
