The Orphanage (2007)

An Awwwwwfullll lot of crap!

[1/10 · 12 January 2008]

As a summary, this movie is incredibly predictable and the performance of Belen Rueda is the worst I have seen, even the doors acted better than the former "Los Serrano" star, at least they looked like doors. But Ms. Rueda is not convincing in her role of an obsessive mother (maybe she could have passed as a door). The main idea of the plot it's not that bad, but it takes a terribly boring amount of time until things start to happen. Until then, you have to watch Belen Rueda pretending to act, Fernando Cayo trying not to be as bad as his partner, and a poor boy, who I thinks have no future in interpretation, just having fun.

It's clear that in Spain we have no good actors since the demise of Pepe Isbert. What an opportunity lost!!!

I can't believe Guillermo del Toro has something to do with this.

Reservoir Dogs (2006 Video Game)

Not that good, not that bad

[6/10 · 8 September 2006]

I bought this game for PS2 two days ago, and I've almost finished it. As you could have guessed it's very easy, but it's also very entertaining. I miss some of the spirit of the movie, you don't play any of the scenes of the film, just the plot holes (the robbery, finding the stones, etc), and furthermore, of the full cast only Michael Madsen (mr. blonde) appears in voice and likeness.

The game has some kind of counter that rates your way of dealing with the game (from psycho to professional) and depending on it you'll get an ending or another. So you will be willing to play in order to get the three endings.

As a brief, it's a good game but it's not as good as the movie.

PS: Excuse me for my awful English
