It's more than that.

Have to check that one out sometime. Alfoso Curon has made many different movies in many different genres.

I'll still see <i>Gravity</i> in spite of her.<br /><br />@Chip-I would definitely recommend watching <i>Solo con Tu Pareja</i> (which is available on Criterion DVD) and <i>A Little Princess</i>. The "Murder Obliquely" episode from <i>Fallen Angel</i> is available on YouTube though the quality isn't great.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-57658065659604431182012-05-08T10:36:47.605-07:002012-05-08T10:36:47.605-07:00Great article.

Of all that I have seen only Great Expectations was a disappointment. I didn't hate it, but I didn't particularly like it, either.<br /><br />His Harry Potter film was my favorite until the very last one. The fact that it was made from my least favorite book says something.<br /><br />And what more can I add on Children of Men? That battle scene, then the silence, are one of the greatest sequences I've seen in a film. And the movie is one of the very best SF films of the last 20 years.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-54831208910092706592012-05-08T07:41:16.426-07:002012-05-08T07:41:16.426-07:00Love Cuaron, specifically Y Tu Mamá También and Ch...Love Cuaron, specifically Y Tu Mamá También and Children of Men, the latter one you and I have discussed before, but the discussion is endless. It is simply a masterful film.<br /><br />Really excited about Gravity, despite my newfound hatred for Sandra Bullock post The Blind Side and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.<br /><br />Great profile here.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.com
