Blue Valentine (2010)
Lousy
Well, I have to say that this is the worst romantic-drama movie I have ever seen. The characters are not developed (over all the husband's psychology). The script is weak, they show you a relationship that is ending and you can see clearly why love ends. After you watch it you have nothing truly insightful, just more of the same. Another girl was commenting that the couple knew their relationship did not work, and there is a point of crisis moment when everything ends and that this is the main thing about the movie... Geez, how do I say this? The crisis (or the entire film)was awful, not worthy, not touching, not heart wrenching. It was pitiful. Don't you think life has enough crisis moments from which we want to escape going to the movies at least? And at the movies what do we see? More of the same with "Blue Valentine".
By other meanings, I think it should be called "Porn Valentine". There is just sex scenes, after sex scenes. The direction is quite bad, I mean, they could have implied the message of these scenes in some other way. I think they wanted to do something like "Revolutionary road" (which is an amazing movie)and they just got a lot of ugly sex sequences without a truly deep romantic message as the foreground of the film. The main characters were just a pair of persons doing things they really didn't want to do, which is our daily bread, but without an impact message, without that feeling that makes you have a true insight about love and life. "Revolucionary road" achieves this indeed, but Blue Valentine is mediocre in comparison, and in my personal opinion. I really, REALLY can't understand why this movie was nominated for an Oscar. The acting was fine, but it didn't deserve a nomination. I'm sorry but I don't understand, why do they put Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman in the same scale?

Not lousy, but not the best
Well, I just saw this movie and I started thinking that may be I have seen too much Asian horror because I just had one good jump of fear while watching this film. Even when I have to say that this is the most "frightening" scary-dolls movie I have seen, I have to say as well that, as an Asian film I was expecting more tension and good psychological horror. It actually only contents a little dose. It has more gore than I expected and that I'm used to (regarding to Asian's movies). Besides, at some point it gets quite predictable, the climax is loose, and a pair of special effects are cheesy. On the other hand the acting was really good, the atmosphere was well studied, because,I mean, the dolls were amazingly creepy and well located. The plot is not bad, it's well justified, but I realized that this is an Asian movie with a north American horror style and that's what I didn't like of it. No offense. Anyway... at this moment I'm wondering if to get rid or not of my old Barbie doll that I keep in my wardrobe. May be she can get upset. :D
