Una de zombis (2003)

It's not that bad. It's worse

[1/10 · 7 February 2004]

I saw this film one month ago and I still regret to waste my money and my time in that way.

It is supposed to be a movie about a guy who is writing the script of a movie and he is in the movie. So the movie is about the story of the movie. Such a mess with no structure, script, gags, actors (good actors), brain, etc. The director thinks he is making a Tarantino's movie (with lot of blood, flash-back ...); what he gets is awful.

The only good thing in the movie are the last 5 minutes with Santiago Segura as himself; maybe you can smile then.

Y decirte alguna estupidez, por ejemplo, te quiero (2000)

Another stupid teens comedy

[1/10 · 8 March 2003]

Saying that this movie is bad is being too optimistic. It's really bad: The storyline, the actors, the script, the music...

A boy falls in love with a new girl in the school but he doesn't want anybody knows it, because only fools fall in love. Juan, the main character, is also the narrator, since the movie is a flash-back (why? there is no reason for this).

It tries to be another stupid teen movie (like the Americans), but here the results are even worse than usual and you are sure the movie is bad after watching 10 minutes. That should be the moment to stop watching it (at that time you know how the movie is going to end).

Nothing original, nothing fun (you can smile three or four times in the movie, if you are predisposed for it).

La gran aventura de Mortadelo y Filemón (2003)

The best way to transform a comic into a film

[9/10 · 18 February 2003]

It is amazing to see all the things you have read all your life in the big screen. It is not only the characters, but also all the background is related to the comic (and all the little details you can find).

I had seen no movie where you could find so few differences between the comic and the film (much much better than Asterix and Obelix, where the things look quite strange).

And the best of all: The actor playing Mortadelo is really Mortadelo (same face, same voice, everything!! is like the comic).

Mallrats (1995)

The funniest dialogues I have ever seen

[9/10 · 14 February 2003]

I've always thought this is not a "good" movie (no great visual effects, not many actors, not many locations, those things that have "historical" movies); all the movie is inside the mall. But the dialogues are so amazing. When they talk about super-heros sex I just cannot stop laughing.

As a whole maybe it's not that good, but the feeling I have every time I watch this movie is that there cannot be a funnier one
