Tengo todos los besos que no te he dado, guardados en una gabeta. Los abrazos y caricias metidos en una maleta Con ellos me voy de viaje, fugaz como un cometa Mudarme a tu corazon es mi primera meta. Maldita mi indecision, maldita tu indiferencia El hecho que no estemos, eso no tiene ciencia.

Oi hablar mucho de esta pelicula entre foros de peliculas por ahi (gente recomendandola, etc), y vi que se habia ganado un monton de premios Goya (Oscares Españoles), y eso me inquieto la curiosidad, asi que me decidi a verla. El trama es de un nuevo guardia en una carcel se ve detras de las rejas cuando se forma un motin que deja los presos al mando de la carcel, asi que el guardia se

Here's the UNofficial synopsis of the next Batman movie: Director Christopher Nolan (“Inception”) concludes his Batman saga with the much-anticipated follow-up to “The Dark Knight,” the third biggest film of all-time: “Shadow of the Dark Knight” With the Joker and half the mob locked up and somewhat of a semblance of order returning to the streets of Gotham, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale, “

"24" deberia ser la proxima pelicula que hagan.  Como ya terminaron la serie, los creadores piensan enfocarse en hacer peliculas, y como termino la serie, creo que el personaje de Jack Bauer se merece mas historias... ya sean en el presente, pasado o futuro. Para los que no saben la serie se trataba de un agente especial de anti terrorismo que usa de todas sus habilidades para evitar un

Congratulations once again to Dominican writer Junot Diaz.  This time for becoming the first latino elected to the Pulitzer board (the ones in charge of awarding the prizes). Junot won a Pulitzer for his debut novel "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao".  I preach this book to everyone I meet (and tells me the love reading), for it's amazing prose and flow. Back in college someone mentioned him

I dont' know if you're aware, but it's been said that the short film PIXELS is being developed into a feature film. I imagine it will be in 3D, since that's the rage nowadays. Since that's happening, I decided to show you this video I just found (I'm late to the party, the video it's been online since last October), to bring nostalgia to all those who played Nintendo and Super Nintendo.

PIXELS by PATRICK JEAN. So New York City is attacked once again, this time the culprits are 8-bit characters from various video games.  The blend of 3D animation with live footage makes this a piece of art.  It reminds me of LOGORAMA (the short that won the Oscar this year), but populated with many stars from my childhood, such as  Donkey Kong, Tetris, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, etc... enjoy!

Me ha pasado que he tratado de ver una que otra pelicula, pero se me hicieron tan malas que ni las termine.  La primera que me viene a la mente, pues no fue hace mucho fue: PUNISHER WAR ZONE - Dios Mio, que basura!  Ya me habian advertido que este pedazo de excremento no valia la pena verlo, pero a mi me gusto la pelicula anterior, y ademas el personaje se me hace intrigante, asi que pense

Sometimes you find something on the net and you feel the need to share.  Sex tapes are one, but this time it's the turn of a cool music video that I found floating on the net.  It's new to me, but ancient on the net.  I don't know what the song it's about (don't know japanase), but the concept it's great.  Check it out: Me encontre con este super cool video, que pienso que vale la pena

Cual es la proxima pelicula que tu, como amante al cine, crees deben de hacer? Es un tema libre, para dar opiniones... puede ser un programa de television, o un refrito (remake) de una pelicula que fue buena en su tiempo o seria mejor en este. Tambien puede ser una historia de un periodico o un articulo de una revista, quizas una biografia de alguien que se la merezca o de un libro que nos haya

Mechas invaden Uruguay! podria ser el otro titulo. Este es el cortometraje que llamo la atencion de Ghost House Pictures, la compania de produccion de la que forma parte Sam Raimi (director de Spider-Man, Drag Me to Hell). El director de esta, Fede Alvarez, firmo un trato con la produccion para dirigir un largometraje basado en el corto. Si lo que acabas de ver te recuerda la pelicula

When the PlayStation 3 dropped its price around the end of September I had no excuse not to get one (even though I still have unopened games for the PS2). It's does everything, or so the commercials say. It's a Blu-Ray player, the internet it's free, it's getting great games (Uncharted 2, God of War 3), so I'm glad I didn't waste my money, or so I keep telling myself.  On the PlayStation

Here it is... The Kick-Ass trailer for Kick-Ass: The movie, written by Mark Millar (Marvel's Civil War, DC's Superman: Red Son, Wanted) and directed by Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Stardust) is based on the comic book of the same name. It tells the story of a fanboy who makes it his mission to become a real superhero in real life even if he lacks superpowers. The series is awesome and

En el DVD de Public Enemies se anuncio la nueva pelicula animada de DC titulada "Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths". En esta entrega Lex Luthor (de una dimension paralela) busca ayuda de La Liga de La Justicia, pues aunque parezca imposible es el unico sobreviviente de La Liga de la Justicia de su dimension/universo.

The King of Comedy Wan is dedicated to acting. However, nobody likes him in the studio as he always argues. Lau, a nightclub PR, comes to Wan's neighbour stage theatre to learn how to please her customers. She finds Wan's theory ridiculous but she eventually falls for him.

From The House of Ideas (aka Marvel Comics for non-hardcore fans) comes Planet Hulk.  While all the Civil War was happening in the Marvel Universe one of its greatest characters was nowhere to be found.  The Hulk was M.I.A. from the battle, thanks to the Illuminati (Prof. X, Dr. Strange, Reed Richards, Iron Man and some other shady characters) who tricked the Hulk into a rocket and shot him up

So I got this Forward about funny Dominican T-shirts. They're all in Spanish, so if you can get somebody to translate the jokes you won't feel like saying "huh?" anymore. I saw a couple of them that I would proudly wear, but most of them are not available in the US or it's a hassle to get them. Enjoy!

Last night I got to see a preview of selected scenes for the new James Cameron movie "Avatar". It was shown on IMAX theaters all over the country. My usual theaters were sold out so I had to trek to Brooklyn and catch a viewing over there. I got there late, as usual, but caught like the last 10 minutes where Sam Worthington was already a Na'vi (the race of aliens they transfer his mind to.

Back to Kelly's Heroes, where Kelly is played by Clint Eastwood as normal as you going to get him: laid back in no hurry at all. The whole movie was fun, and at two hours and change the movie moves briskly. The gang of characters is fun to watch as they complement each other on different situations. I knew Telly Savalas only from Kojak, but he brought his character to life in such a way that

To get in the mood to watch Tarantino's latest film I watched Kelly's Heroes, an excellent example of the soldiers on a mission during World War II genre. It's true, every War World II movie has the soldiers on a mission to win the war, but the genre specifies a new tangent mission that is thrust upon the heroes and its the driving force of the plot. Some examples of movies like that we are "

I flipped my wig (the colonial wig I wear to keep my scalp warm indoors) and scoured the details: it was FREE and open to "all ages".

No soy un mega fan de las peliculas de zombies, pues me he encontrado que si ya has visto una la has visto todas. Claro hay excepciones a la regla, donde una pelicula encuentra la forma de hacer la trama diferente, ya sea por medio a la comedia (Shaun of the Dead) o cambiando la forma de como actuan los zombies (Dawn of the Dead -la mas nueva), o como en la pelicula [rec] el punto de vista

Me encontre con un avance de una pelicula Brasileña titulada "Besouro" (Escarabajo) que trata del arte marcial Capoiera. La pelicula es fantasiosa (mexclando el misticismo con esta disciplina), pero no le quita lo entretenida que se ve.La historia no es la mas original: heroe subyugado se revela contra sus opresores.
