Ocean's Eight (2018)

Satisfying and fun to watch

[10/10 · 8 January 2021]

It's a very fun movie that captivates you from the very first moment and feels like it ends much quicker than 2 hours. It has a relatively steady pace so if you're expecting car chasing, bullets flying kind of a heist movie this is not it. Still, it's exciting and intriguing. You'll witness a good friendship between smart and talented women, high sexual tension between Sandra and Cate's characters, funny dialogues and a perfect plan with the occasional tension of something going wrong. Great on-screen chemistry from the actresses, talented cast, good directing. I remember leaving the theatre totally satisfied and filled with positive vibes, I felt the same thing when I watched it again on Netflix the other day. Don't tie it to the other Ocean's movies, consider it an independent one and enjoy a fun ride. I would give an 8 but many people seem to be downplaying this movie for god knows what reason, and it definitely deserves a higher rating as well as the sequels.

The Tree of Blood (2018)

Heart warming

[10/10 · 27 June 2020]

I liked this movie a lot. The way the story is being told is very interesting, so are the events. Is it possible to have this many people to be related in the way they are in the movie? Obviously not. Does it matter? No, because this is a movie, I don't see the point of criticisms on this part. Apart from the story that grabs your attention and makes you angry and happy and sad; the directing is amazing, just as the scenery that have been used. On top of that, incredible acting from Ursula Corbero and Najwa Nimri. I definitely recommend watching it if you like movies that unfolds the story as it goes and makes you feel things.

The Method (2005)

Definitely worth watching

[10/10 · 26 June 2020]

An intriguing and thought-provoking storyline that makes you think "what would I do if I were them?" throughout the movie. Clever dialogues, some humor, a little sorrow, and great acting; especially by Najwa Nimri who interprets Nieves Martin in an exceptional way - a clever, successful, elegant woman who radiates an incredible sex appeal, and by Eduard Fernández who reflects the thoughts and emotions of Fernando admirably. Also successful directing that prevents the movie from getting boring due to being shot in a single set. Oh, how much I'd wish for Nieves to close that door...
