Shooter (2007)
A guilty pleasure
I love this film in spite of its many plotholes and a bit accelerated pace. The dialogue is quite good, and there are quite nice shooting episodes thoroughout. Although this film might anger some real scout snipers and movie fans due to its mistakes, it does deserve a first watch, and maybe some more to enjoy and/or criticize a more than decent piece of cinema.
Rick and Morty (2013)
Essential TV mashup.
After going over the fourth season, you can feel the inner drive R&M has towards a final state. R&M can be seen as a mashup of sci-fi series with a "Phineas and Ferb"/"Family Guy" touch. However, the series does go over character development in the long run. As a reference, you can take all season' finales in order and extract the present family situation. Aside from Rick (semi-careless master of all worlds), everyone else is growing away from him. In the first episode of the series, Morty sees a green human-like being growing up and dying in a few seconds, and Rick's fast response to that is "Don't think about it".
That line has been withheld over the series. Even though it deals with alcoholism, dysfunctionality in a household and our place in the universe, it's just TV. The constant fight between Roiland and Harmon, which puts the series in a tight rope between a boring format and a series people cherish makes that line resound heavily, because we do grow with the characters. We do care about the Smith family. We long for Evil Morty's hidden role into the series, and further appearances of gadgets and institutions like the Citadel, Rick's friends, other reality instances of everyone. Having said that, they shouldn't mess with the way we people behave not due to the sci-fi way it develops, but because it's inside a pixel-made rectangle.
Rick and Morty is essential TV for any young adult.
Hasta que la plata nos separe (2006)
A spectacular tragicomedy with Colombian roots.
Most of the on screen performances are impeccable, and all of the minor characters get real development, which brings nostalgia to the veteran viewers. Evolving from Gaitan's masterpiece (Yo soy Betty, la fea), it takes advantage of the protagonists' aides (or accomplices) to make them feel human, as well as semi-rough issues like infidelity, death threats, financial rollercoasters, huge misunderstandings and the reputation side of work activities.
The editing is decent, and the soundtrack is quite extense. The picture improves as the drama delivers, but some great shots are not good enough to cover the filming mistakes like boom operator mishaps, which are not rare.
