Day 2, 3 movies so far



"Sólo con tu pareja"

Few things are more exciting to me, than discovering a great movie by myself. Before you read about them, and before anyone else, said they were great - you discovered this for yourself!

"Sólo con tu pareja", is one such example. I'd never heard about it before, but it's directed by Alfonso Cuaron and that's never a bad thing. This is his directorial debut, and he then went on to make awesome films like Y tu mama tambien and Children of Men. Compared to his later work, this film's much more light hearted - its an out and out comedy (like Woody Allen's earlier films) and features a Lothario, who suddenly has the tables turned on him. The pace, like the dialogue is frenetic. The film never takes it self seriously, gives you little time to breathe & leaves you in stitches right through. Each frame is lovingly shot and displays Alfonso's eccentric sense of composition.

If you're in the mood for a fun (and racy) film of considerable quality, to unwind after a stressful day at work, this is a movie, I'd really recommend.
