Medianeras (2011)
An interesting film with that has trouble keeping pace
Sidewalls is a well made film with believable characters,where it struggles is keeping you interested the whole way through it's hour and thirty five minute run time. Sidewall introduced us to Martin and Marianna two people who are lonely insecure and a bit depressed, both of these characters are portrayed excellently bu their actors(Javier Drolas and Pilar López de Ayala) and are written to seem like real people and they are genuinely believable characters. I really enjoyed seeing the characters develop as they both continued on their path to eventually find each other but on the way some parts tended to drag on, such as every time Marianna cried in her apartment and every time Martin talks about how computers have changed dating. These moments of repetition made me fell not immersed in the film. I believe with is flaws this film is still ultimately worth a watch because i can almost guarantee it is unique compared to what you are used to and it shows a glimpse into the lives of two very interesting people.
Almost Famous (2000)
Good movie with well written characters
Almost Famous was the story about a guy who gets the chance to be a rock and roll journalist and gets to hang out with rock stars much to his mothers displeasure. The characters mostly feel very dynamic and round like our protagonist William who while excited to do this is also very nervous and dose not want to get into all the trouble that's happening around him. I feel that Kate Hudson's character penny lane helped move the story forward and is really responsible for William getting into this whole adventure. I feel like the singer Russel impeded the film a bit for me since it didn't seem that he had any meaningful growth or change. I believe The Director was trying to set an upbeat mood but one that wasn't afraid to go into serious moments and issues. I believe this movie is targeted to rock and roll fans those who grew up with it and those who know it because of their parents. I believe this is a film because while being entertaining it has some real messages about what the music industry is like and what it does to people. Overall almost famous is well written and has an interesting insight into the culture of rock music.
The Breakfast Club (1985)
The Breakfast club is a great Movie about unlikely bonds
The Breakfast club is more then just a movie about some kids in detention we start off with our high school stereotypes the jock the nerd the prom queen the criminal and the weird kid no one knows, but where this movie shines is how it displays that no one is what they seem and how people can come together in strange situations. We get to see our characters slowly become more comfortable with one another and watch as they realize for them selves their own flaws and that they may have misjudged each other. Even the principal our antagonist is a sympathetic character, as all he wants is to teach the kids a lesson and break through to them. Overall It tells a compelling story with laughs drama and great music. I found the jhon bender really salvaged the film for me as he was the most interesting character and i liked how he started off cocky and confident but as the film progressed showed a bit of worriedness and anger. I found that claire impeded the film as i don't feel like she changed enough as a character and really learned any lessons. I think the mood was supposed to be a light hearted film with elements of drama and i found it to be very successful. This Film primarily targets youths as they are the most likely to relate to the events in this film and would probably enjoy it the most. I believe this is a film as it conveys a message about how not everyone is what they seem.
