27. The 11th Hour.

27. The 11th Hour. Nadia Conners.
A movie about climate change. I didn't had anything different to my old perspectives. It only kept my awareness of the problem turned on. Right now I cant do much, buy I hope with time and the right decisions I will be able to help more.




26. An education.

26. An education. Lone Scherfig.
A strong movie brought forward by the leading cast. The story is a little awkward and hard to believe but is well constructed. The thing I liked the most is the duality (That I also have in my life) of the difference in happiness that you can achieve by having a relaxed life and full of pleasures enjoying life, and the satisfaction of studying and working hard. My conclusion is that I wish to study and work and come to a elite of investigation in medicine, while enjoying the life and the academics.

25. Never Let Me Go

25. Never Let Me Go. Mark Romanek.
A very interesting movie that deepens in the human soul. The intro scene is very good, the kids say that they cannot go beyond the grounds of the school, and the theacher asks why and they say that they have been told that it is dangerous. This is a great example of indoctrination in little children just as religion.

23, 24. Iron Man, Iron Man 2.

23, 24. Iron Man, Iron Man 2. Jon Favreau.
Marvel as Disney is another company that has taken the way to modify and enhance its characters. They have been choosing so well their actors for the superheros, The Iron man is not the exception. I liked the movie because its entertaining and is very likable. It is not a great production, it has cliches made in Hollywood but the characters and the movie needs them. The creation of the suit is very good and the introduction of war machine is also good.


22. Tangled.

22. Tangled. Nathan Greno, Byron Howard.
As I have stated many times before, I believe that you can make a good movie out of any topic. Disney is a company that has been able to cope up with the changes of times, and recreate themselves modifying the kids stories to more mature and serious stories, without losing its essence and its appeal for kids. This creativity plus the money available to buy the technology make excellent movies with graphics that soon will be as good as real ones.
I liked the animals, Pascal the chameleon, and Maximus the horse. The movie is funny and well paced.
The only thing is that being a kids movie lets many things unexplained and just left there so the movie can work. But in general is ok.

17. La elegancia del erizo.

17. La elegancia del erizo. Muriel Barbery.
Un libro que casi no le doy la oportunidad, y cuando iba en la tercera pagina no lo podía soltar. Es de un tema que en realidad no se porque no me atrae mucho Francia.
Pero la autora (una filosofa) tiene una manera de narrar y de filosofar al mismo tiempo que me sorprendió. Este libro es uno de los favorito que me he leído este año y me lo leere nuevamente en el futuro.
