Elipsis (2006)
A glorified soap opera
Don't waste your time on this one. Clever advertising and $$$ couldn't save this from being one of the biggest flops in the history of Venezuelan cinema. It has a weak script, bad acting and although it was beautifully filmed on HD, the movie looks like a Tide commercial. I gave it two stars just because Seu Jorge is in the movie. I find it incredible that people rate this with 10 stars. Is this really the best movie you have seen? Now I understand why Venezuelan cinema can be so mediocre, the lack of self criticism is incredible..... I f you want to see good Venezuelan films, watch El pez que fuma and Araya. Stay away from the rest.
Hearts in Atlantis (2001)
This is one of the worst movies
I can't believe that there are people who actually think this is a 10 out of 10 movie. Hearts of Atlantis is the perfect example of how Hollywood can transform millions of dollars into crap.
The script is flat, no climax, only a succession of "wise" and "literary" one-liners by Hopkins and "cute" ones from the little kid. It's just simply boring. Bad adaption from a King story. I guess you have to read the story first in order to fully understand how the director and the screenwriter messed up Hearts in Atlantis.
K-PAX (2001)
The movie is OK, but it's a remake
K-Pax is a good movie. Spacey plays well as a mental patient-alien, and the movie never goes overboard with drama. Let's say that it is well balanced.
What surprised me from K-Pax was its similarity to an 1980's Argentine film entitled "Man Facing Southeast", directed and WRITTEN by Eliseo Subiela. The movie is about... guess... a man who appears suddenly in a mental hospital claiming that he comes from outer space, and through the movie, he helps people. You can check this out on this site, just look for the film I mentioned. Is this a uncredited remake or what?
