Besides all the love about this film, I have to say that The Artist was made with the most single intention to win awards. This movie is a collection of sources from classic films of all time. Like Citizen Kane, Chaplin films to name a few.Traditional film and nostalgia always been rewarded. I love film nostalgia, but not someone who pretends to use it for the sake of been successful using it. Is like James Cameron offering a film in Cinerama, because there is no more films in that format. Besides that The Artist is a pretty entertaining film that appeal audiences, could be Uggie, could be that is silent, or simply is a way to connect with old traditions that have passed. The movie is good, but the real question is how all this talents behind can they do better if is not silent. Malcolm McDowell and James Cromwell does, but we have to challenge this team to achieve something behind old traditions Lesson learn, The Artist win everything in all the awards circuit, but the real artist is the one who defeats the test of time.

Call me romantic or old fashion but this film hit the core on every level. I'm always been a passionate about George Melies and his work and this movie touch me deeply. Sometimes films do that if you are facing certain times. The fill was rewarded with 5 academy awards in the technical aspects. Kudos to that!

I think making a film about Marylyn is always a good idea, what's is difficult is find "the" actress to portrait Mr Monroe. The most fascinating thing about "My Week with Marylyn" is you believe that Marylyn Monroe is there. Michelle Williams did an amazing job and there is no doubt why she was nominated to an academy award and also win the Spirit. Another wonderful performance is by Kenneth Branagh, who plays Lawrence Olivier. The film is attractive, charming and entertaining. Beautiful cinematography, editing and costume design. Highly recommended.

Hand santizer and Condoms

When Sony and David Fincher announce that they are going to do a remake of the swedish most successful film of all time. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I sad to myself: Fincher is the master of thriller and prove it with Seven, Panic Room and Zodiac. Nothing could go wrong. Well I was mistaken. Fincher didn't make the film better, he just revamped and make it a little cooler. Team up with part of the team from Social Network. The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo is a exploration of Mikael Bloomsky writer of Millennium and his search for Harriet Vager a woman who disappear 40 years ago. The film takes whole different directions in the plot and change the behavior of the main characters. Some of these changes are dramatic, they soft Lisbeth Salander in so many ways that I think the movie now a warm story between two underdog heroes who use their intelligence to catch a killer. Is hard to not compare things from the Swedish film vs the American version, from the sexual innuendo that is so Hollywood and less raw to a illogical moment of a Christmas card and tend to disagree with critics. The movie explore and bring characters that were missing in the original but took out elements that were necessary to understand the nature of Lisbeth behavior and way of living. Don't get me wrong Roonet Mara did a superb job performing this character. What really still thinking is something that I saw in the film: Rapist wear condoms and killers use hand sanitizer Fincher ruin the the movie, his biggest goals was to create an excellent environment for this movie,which he did. The cast was perfectly selected, beautiful photography, Articus and Trent always fantastic and the editing a masterpiece.

J Edgar

With high expectations I wanted to see this movie so badly. Clint Eastwood and Leonardo Di Caprio together and a biopic about J Edgar was enough to say "a must see". I was wrong. The film about the life of a controversial character of the US history turns into a disappoint soap opera about Hoover devotion to his mom and the FBI. His obsessions about criminals and dangerous threats to America. and his homosexuality. The estrange structure of this movie take us from his early childhood and how he escalate every step of power in order to reach the biggest position besides Justice Department. Di Caprio give us a fine performance and no doubt that he will earn several awards and nominations. Eastwood do what he do best, but in this film is not as powerful as other movies that he done in the past. The film is flat and lack emotional moments, because the pace and structure of the movie. All I can say the make it was not good

Senna

I never been a F1 follower of fan, but the reviews and the word of mouth of this movie drawn me to the theaters to see it. Senna is a fantastic documentary about the life of success and glory the of the Brazilian race car driver Airton Senna. The film focus of how Senna reach his momentum, his constant battle with Alain Prost and his demise in 1994 in the San Marino Grand Prix. The film manage all the stock footage surprisingly well. You don't even noticed that you are watching archival footage from different times. The film is unique as a historical investigation and a total gem for F1 fans who wants to know more of this race car driver. The sound design and editing are perfect. \

DRIVE

When movies like this one comes to theaters, you realize that there still hope to have creative filming with strong message. Drive is a finest piece of movie made in 2011 and I have to say one of the best that I ever seen in recent years. Ryan Gosling plays a stunt driver for Hollywood films that play inside jobs as a driver for robberies. After meeting Cary Mulingan, her neighbor, they start a subtle relationship that connects in so many ways to the past and present of their life, unfortunately too much. Mullingan husband release from prison drawn Gosling into a adventure with terrible consequences. The cast with finest performances such as Albert Brooks (Oscar Worthy) and Ron Pearlman makes this film a total delight. Drive is a movie that hit you in your face, with glory violence and powerful soundtrack and beautiful cinematography. The directing and editing are real work of art.
