- DirectorJohn Patrick ShanleyReparto principalMeryl StreepPhilip Seymour HoffmanAmy AdamsLa directora de un colegio católico cuestiona la ambigua relación de un sacerdote con un joven estudiante problemático.This film blew me away with its layers of meaning in all of the actions of the characters. I still have no idea how to write such a film.
- DirectorJ BlakesonReparto principalGemma ArtertonEddie MarsanMartin CompstonLa hija de un hombre rico está cautiva en un apartamento abandonado por dos ex convictos que la secuestraron y retuvieron su rescate a cambio del dinero de su padre.The Disappearance of Alice Creed is still fresh in my mind because I saw it just a week ago, but it has quickly climbed all of my "best" lists. The characters are just so well crafted in this thriller that by the end it becomes about them and not the plot, and I am still blown away by it everytime I try to think about how he wrote it.
- DirectorAdrienne ShellyReparto principalKeri RussellNathan FillionJeremy SistoJenna es una camarera embarazada e infelizmente casada del sur profundo. Conoce a un recién llegado a su ciudad y cae en una relación poco probable como último intento de felicidad.Cleverly walks the line between drama and comedy, and succesfully makes dark subject matter funny without losing its heart. Not an easy task to do at all.
- DirectorJoe WrightReparto principalKeira KnightleyJames McAvoyBrenda BlethynLa escritora novata de 13 años Briony Tallis cambia el curso de varias vidas cuando acusa al amante de su hermana de un crimen que no ha cometido.After reading the book, I had no idea how to turn it into a film. After watching the film, I realized he took the book almost word-for-word and somehow made it into a comprehensible masterpiece, but I still have no idea how.
- DirectorWoody AllenReparto principalScarlett JohanssonJonathan Rhys MeyersEmily MortimerEn un momento crucial de su vida, un extenista profesional se enamora de una actriz que resulta estar saliendo con su amigo y futuro cuñado.Woody Allen is always very great at adding meaning to all the elements in his story, and in this story he was particularly great at adding a little bit of comedy to his dark murder mystery drama.
- DirectorSam MendesReparto principalLeonardo DiCaprioKate WinsletChristopher FitzgeraldUna joven pareja que vive en un barrio de Connecticut a mediados de la década de 1950 lucha por resolver sus problemas personales mientras tratan de criar a sus dos hijos.Revolutionary Road accurately painted a time, but even better, painted characters that are relevant in today's time.
- DirectorSpike JonzeReparto principalNicolas CageMeryl StreepChris CooperUn guionista enamorado se desespera cuando intenta y no logra adaptar la novela de Susan Orlean "El ladrón de orquídeas" para la gran pantalla.This should have been one of those stories that you just can't adapt, but Charlie Kaufman did it. But I also never attempt to understand the genius of Kaufman.
- DirectorMichel GondryReparto principalJim CarreyKate WinsletTom WilkinsonCuando su relación se deteriora, una pareja se somete a un proceso médico para borrar el uno al otro de su memoria.Again it's the genius of Charlie Kaufman, here he took a crazy story but made it feel down-to-Earth enough so we could enjoy it.
- DirectorMarc WebbReparto principalZooey DeschanelJoseph Gordon-LevittGeoffrey ArendTras ser abandonado por la chica que cree que es su alma gemela, el romántico empedernido Tom Hansen reflexiona sobre su relación para intentar averiguar en qué se equivocó y cómo puede recuperarla.I will admit that I didn't get it at first, but the very clever twist with Zooey Deschanel's character makes this is a very well written film.
- DirectorJason ReitmanReparto principalAaron EckhartCameron BrightMaria BelloEsta comedia satírica sigue las maquinaciones del portavoz principal de Big Tobacco, Nick Naylor, quien habla a favor de los cigarrillos mientras trata de seguir siendo un modelo a seguir para su hijo de doce años.Thank You for Smoking is one of the best satires ever. They pointed out the absurdity to all the sides and did it with some very smart humour. They also cleverly did it through creating one very good character that we could just follow - he was smart, sarcastic, funny, but also human.
- DirectorGus Van SantReparto principalSean PennJosh BrolinEmile HirschLa historia de Harvey Milk y su lucha como activista gay estadounidense, que luchó por los derechos de los homosexuales y se convirtió en el primer cargo electo abiertamente gay de California.Milk was a powerful film, because of how personal the screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black, made it, but at the same time he kept true to the story and never inserted himself into it.
- DirectorMarc ForsterReparto principalWill FerrellEmma ThompsonDustin HoffmanUna escritora se pregunta cómo matar a su personaje, y Harold Crick comienza a oír su voz en su cabeza y se da cuenta de que tiene los días contados.Stranger Than Fiction walked that fine line between fiction and absurdity, and created meaningful characters, and gave us just a fun comedy.
- DirectorKenneth LonerganReparto principalLaura LinneyMatthew BroderickAmy RyanLa vida de una madre soltera se ve perturbada después de que su hermano menor con problemas, al que raramente ve, regresa a la ciudad.The true art of You Can Count on Me was creating real, accessible but flawed characters that were each able to express and exert emotion.
- DirectorLee Toland KriegerReparto principalAdam ScottBrittany SnowAlex FrostA man tries to warn his brother away from the new girlfriend he brings home during Thanksgiving, but ends up becoming infatuated with her in the process.A great example of how to write a dysfunctional family dramedy. The drama was honest, the comedy funny and touching, and the actors didn't have to carry everything through dialogue alone but also their actions.
- DirectorCharles Herman-WurmfeldReparto principalJennifer WestfeldtHeather JuergensenTovah FeldshuhUna mujer que busca al hombre perfecto, en cambio, encuentra a la mujer perfecta.A great example of how to write a romantic comedy because it's accessible, smart, funny and all the characters are likable.
