Salted pork shanks as leitmotiv in a dark comedy about an absurd love triangle: this is what post-Franco cine is all about (food and sex). Spanish tortillas (i.e., potato omelets) are also big in this one. Director José Juan Bigas Luna's Jamón Jamón is intelligent, wry, and--d... |

ESTUPIDO:This is by far the worst movie I have ever suffered through. I watched it for extra credit in my Spanish class and thought "SCUBA, evil babysitter and spoiled kids, sounds interesting." Well it was anything but interesting. Don't watch it. Please, I wasted 2 hours of my ... |

Second-hand review:Disclaimer: I have not seen this DVD.
However . . . my father just got through phoning me and he was breathless about this DVD that I sent him.

It is impossible to predict where John Sayles will travel at any given time in his film career, but Men with Guns is one of the director's most surprising journeys. Shot in Spanish, with a little-known cast, the film is a beguiling mix of the political and the mythical. A well-he... |

You keep waiting for what should be a wild comedy to really take off, but this film sputters along without truly achieving liftoff. John Candy plays a writer for a TV soap opera whose life is as lovelorn as his show is packed with passion. A bump on the head, however, and it's Wi... |

Cheesy love story:I saw this movie when it was out in the movie theaters (1988, not 1980). I went to see it because of Robbie Rosa and Rodney Harvey. Yes, the acting was brutal and the plot was predictable. If you're looking to learn some good Salsa dance moves, this movie is ... |

Bizarre, believable, breathtaking:Reminiscent of "One Flew Over.." but with a Garcia Marquez twist, this is one of the classics of Mexican cinema. The horror that grips you in this film builds gradually, with the inevitability of Hellenic tragedy. If you were moved by the Nichols... |
