American Beauty (1999)
The best movie I've ever seen. It opened my eyes and showed me real talent.
American Beauty is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure that I'm not so original by saying this, but who cares? I loved it, I enjoyed it. Sam Mendes uses the best way he can the actor's skills and Alan Ball's terrific masterpiece. What can I say? Mrs. Benning and Mr. Spacey give the perfomances of their lives, they must be proud. The only thing that concerns me though are the three young actors: Mena Suvari, Thora Birch and Wes Bentley. They have careers ahead of them, and the roles they got in this movie might just be the best they'll ever get. They deserve the awards, the spotlight. What would the movie been without Mena and Thora's great preformances? To me: a good movie, with an ingredient missing. Whatever. This movie is the best you'll ever find: go see it, rent it, buy it, see it again, and again. I've seen it 3 times, and expect to see it another 3. Oh, almost forgot, Chris Cooper and Allison Janney are stunning, and do the best they can in the small roles they get.
Entre las piernas (1999)
Victoria Abril= Sexy + Powerful (Acting)
Oh yes. She has proved us once again that she is a godess. Not only can she act, but she (or/and her people) have the amazing ability to choose the films she acts in. This erotic thriller is one of a kind, a good smelling poutporri (or however you spell it) of the most popular spanish directors of the 90´s: Almodobar (All About My Mother, Live Flesh), Amenabar (Thesis, Open Your Eyes), etc.. etc.. etc... Go see it, if you like strong movies with great plot twists and good acting. Definately a winner. If I were a jury in a festival, it would´ve taken ALL the prizes.
Todo sobre mi madre (1999)
Beautiful
What else can I say? It´s a wonderful movie. It´s funny, sad, and above all it shows us once more that spanish cinema is the best. Thank you Pedro Almodovar! The cast is great, especially Cecilia Roth and Penélope Cruz. The whole plot is spectacular, well, I can´t really go on recomending this movie and saying great stuff about it, cause´ it´s just too much. One of the best movies I´ve seen..
