Stargate: Atlantis (2004–2009)

Fun Action Drama

[10/10 · 9 May 2012]

I started to watch this show in the fourth season and I liked the characters and the adventures Im not a fan of the original star gate movie and series but after watching this show I was interested later I got my DVD's from the first second and third season I enjoyed this show a lot reminds me the original star wars trilogy and old action sci-fi shows that were entertaining and for all the family. I recommend this show to you even if you never watch the original SG-1 show like me. I hope the studio bring back the series later with new adventures or movies, was a mistake to cancel this show. Some episodes are much better than the episodes of Star Trek shows and almost in very episode you have action and you care for the characters.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

Excelente película para los fans de los comics

[10/10 · 23 November 2010]

Recomiendo esta película para verla repetidas veces es muy divertida basada en un comic te hará reír y pasar un buen rato los adultos deben venir con la mente abierta es una parodia comedia de aventuras de los que vivimos la generación de los juegos como mortal kombat y maquinitas.

Excelente dirección muy buenas actuaciones y muy entretenida sin tener escenas de sangre ni vulgares les recomiendo el comic original también para los que tienen dudas sobre verla.

La historia es simple y fácil de entender lo único que se necesita es venir con la mente abierta y divertirse.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

The fifties the decade of the UFOs, atomic paranoia, Russians

[10/10 · 28 September 2009]

People complains that is not the same Indiana Jones I understand, people were expecting to see the same adventures in the thirties Indiana Jones fighting against Nazis but is impossible to do the same adventures because Harrison Ford is older so Spielberg and Lucas has to show what is Indiana doing now that he is 57 years old, he is in the fifties the decade of the UFOs, Einsenhower, atomic paranoia also the decade that started rock and roll is a different America, is the time of Science Fiction B-movies like the day the earth stood still, forbidden planet, invaders from mars, body snatchers and a great fear of an invasion from Russians or an atomic war, so you have to take into account all this when you are watching this movie which is very entertaining and great fun for everybody.

The Dark Knight (2008)

This Batman is not for kids is a police movie

[6/10 · 22 July 2008]

The movie is good, but this is not a movie for kids, for them is boring, Batman is too dark, is a good movie but I can't agree when people start writing that is the best superhero movie of all time, the best superhero movie of all time is Superman with Cristopher Reeve and the first Spider Man because this movies take into account the fantasy elements of the comics and are fun to watch, here we have a normal guy that is Batman a normal criminal that is the joker and a normal city, no more fantasy is not for kids, but is not the best superhero movie of all time everything looks dark and flat.

Good acting from Bale, Caine, and the rest of the cast but is not a movie to take children.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Excellent movie almost as good as the originals

[10/10 · 21 May 2005]

Well I liked the movie a lot, the special effects were excellent and this time the plot is much better and interesting than the other two prequels, was good to see old characters back and the evolution of the space ships of the original star wars, George Lucas did a great job with this movie the character of the emperor is a villain that you would like to hate, great movie very entertaining to watch again and again.

Chewbacca deserves and Oscar for best actor same as Yoda, I liked all the cgi characters specially Anakin Skywalker, no seriously is a great movie for the kid that everybody has inside.

Knight Rider (1982–1986)

Good show good fun

[10/10 · 27 April 2005]

This is my second comment about this show. I don't like the bad comments from very impolite people criticizing very hard the show because is "not real", or "because is from the eighties", helloooooo, is sci fi and I love the eighties, the show has quality and not all the episodes are the same, Michael is always helping people from different backgrounds with KITT, star trek is from the sixties and has spin off and lots of fans same thing with knight rider that has fans from many countries around the world, the show is fun and we like the characters the humor, and specially the car, in Europe the video game was very successful, my advice is if you don't like the show go to another channel or place in the internet and use your energy in better things.

For people saying that nobody likes the show take a look again on the net and you even find a company that converts pontiacs Transam on KITTS replicas and their happy owners.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

A big disappointment

[4/10 · 12 December 2004]

The new star wars is a long bad movie, is has too many cgi shots and few or none emotions, you feel sometimes watching a documentary about space politics, even that the cgi shots are good, you don't feel any real connection with the characters or the story, terrible acting and bad direction, if George Lucas plans to do a special edition my advice, cut 30 minutes of the movie or more keep the action parts.

The actor that I like on this movie was Ewan as Obi Wan, the emperor and Jango Fett, but the one that represents Anakin is a terrible actor, you don't see the romance with the senator Amidala, no chemistry and that can't be fixed with any special effect.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993–1997)

Good show fun for kids and adults

[29 October 2004]

When I saw this show the first time I didn't like Dean Cain as Superman, at first I thought he looks like an oriental guy, I always have the image of Superman as Christopher Reeve(still the best Superman)but later watching the reruns I found that the show has humor and is good for the kids and adults, Teri Hatcher is a beautiful Lois Lane very independent and intelligent a nineties woman, and Dean is the best Clark Kent is not a nerd is a young shy journalist, as Superman is good too, doesn't have the same presence of Christopher Reeve, anyway if a like the many versions of Batman I can enjoy the many versions of Superman too, the other characters Clark parents, White, Jimmy are good too, I think the show improved after the second season and used as a guide the Superman comics after crisis on infinite earths(1985) where the main focus was Clark and his parents and not Superman as on the movies.

Anyway is a good show.

Knight Rider (1982–1986)

Good show that I still enjoy today

[10/10 · 17 September 2004]

I saw many bad reviews here and I think those guys are the real retarded here, maybe too many reality shows?

I miss eighties shows like Knight rider even with the goof and campy stories because is a show to enjoy and relax, I even like Kitt's sense of humor.

I got the first season DVD to watch with my young nephew and we enjoy very much the episodes, is the first time that he saw Knight rider and is already a fan.

Today TV shows are boring in my opinion, or too serious, or for adults like the sopranos, the shield, boomtown, etc, and realities everywhere come on, those reality shows are the worst.

True Romance (1993)

A BAD MOVIE WITH EXCESSIVE VIOLENCE

[1/10 · 22 April 2004]

All the teenagers that collect guns are going to like this movie but for me was pretty bad, boring and too violent, blood everywhere I didn´t enjoy at all this movie, I don´t understand whats the big deal also I didnt like any of the characters. Quarantino is not the best writter and likes blood to much, is not a movie for everybody, I should add that has too many bullets and could have been done much better with less blood and violence, but is Quarantino, this also give me an excuse to look for better movies and choose more carefully. My advice skip this movie and look for something better, is a waste of time.

Space: 1999 (1975–1977)

Great series, good classic Sci-Fi

[7 February 2004]

Some people criticise the series because doesnt offer good scientific explanations or because have characters like Maya, but the original Star Trek has bad special effects and rubber aliens, star trek the next generation has counselor Troi with powers, star trek deep space 9 has Odo that I believe has similar powers to Maya, and still is impossible to travel to light speed in a ship like the Enterprise.

For me the mysterious monsters and villains of first season were good, the eagles look very realistic and we see the humans traveling to other worlds with this 20 century technology often more primitive than the other aliens in space.

I enjoy episodes like dragons domain, devils planet, but I believe both seasons or series have good points they should have made a third season combining the good points of first and second seasons.

I would like to see a revival, or new version, because science fiction is not just star trek.

The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

Excellent conclusion to the trilogy

[10/10 · 12 November 2003]

One of the best movies, excellent special effects, great characters, interesting plot, I recommend this movie to the fans of the original Matrix, I don't understand why people is complaining this end is better that the "normal end" in many movies today.

Hulk (2003)

Excellent movie

[7/10 · 4 July 2003]

I enjoyed the Hulk is a really good movie, the characters have feelings and emotions problems specially Bruce Banner, the new Hulk is better too in my opinion, Tv's Hulk was smaller and never so strong like this one, Hulk is one of the better movies I saw this summer.

Wonder Woman (1975–1979)

Old times were Better

[10/10 · 20 December 2002]

Like so many people here I agree, the old tv shows were campy cheesy but entertaining. Wonder Woman was a great show, Wonder Woman never killed anybody or said bad words, I liked this show and I miss shows like this today, were the line between heroes and villains is very thin.

Batman (1966–1968)

Is a Classic

[10/10 · 20 December 2002]

I enjoy this Batman because is funny, you can laugh a lot watching this show, has beautiful girls specially Batgirl and funny villains. Is one of my favorite shows, doesn't have sex, violence or drugs. Kids can watch this show and find it very entertaining. Is a real classic. Better than the dark movies.

10 STARS

Beautiful (2000)

Funny Movie

[16 December 2002]

I never saw a movie with Minnie Driver before, she is really beautiful and has a nice body, she sings and is funny. I found the movie entertaining and the little girl was cute too, I really enjoyed this movie or comedy.

Birds of Prey (2002–2003)

Well is not so bad

[22 November 2002]

I saw the first episode and a few "pieces" of other episodes, well I think some series had a bad start with undeveloped characters like star trek the next generation the first two seasons of this show and specially the first was pretty awful, later the writers fixed the mistakes. I believe this show needs more "substance" or a bigger relation with the comic book counterpart to make it work, is a shame that is canceled, some shows get a second chance, with a new cast or cast changes, different writers, producers and directors.

Aliens (1986)

One of the best sequels in Science fiction

[10/10 · 21 November 2002]

Cameron's respect of the original Alien story and character of Ripley made one of the best movies combining action, suspense, and horror. You care about the characters, and the technology looks realistic even for today standards, the Aliens are very scary too.

Alien (1979)

A very good movie

[10/10 · 28 October 2002]

Ridley Scott is a great director when I first saw this movie I follow the crew of the Nostromo and felt their pain and suffering like mine. The atmosphere is very real and the trick of hiding the monster in that big ship with dark corridors make my heart run as the movie was coming to the climax.

The Ring (2002)

Very Scary, Very good movie!!!!

[10/10 · 20 October 2002]

Excellent horror movie, I couldn't sleep well last night, I believe is going to be another successful franchise like or better than "Alien", "The Exorcist" or "Scream". The important thing in a horror movie is not the special effects and monsters that look fake, its the story and the background that surround the characters, if the director creates and mix right the ingredients he or she has a hit, I haven't seen the original I hope to see it later.

Please don't bring kids to the theater, and I recommend don't drink any beverage with caffeine that day.

Princess Mononoke (1997)

Its no so good!!!!

[16 September 2002]

Well, I tried to enjoy this movie but I didn't like it, maybe I'm not accustomed to Japanese anime but for me all the characters were too superficial. I expected deeper emotions between the princess and the hero, and more humor. I didn't identify with any character, the movie takes itself too seriously and cares more about nature/man conflict than characters.

Amélie (2001)

Didn't make me feel empty

[13 September 2002]

I like this movie is different, and I believe everybody that has imagination can identify with the girl, other Hollywood movies that I went to see this summer make me feel empty in two ways bad scripts and overuse of special effects, this movie has substance, characters and even special effects!!!

La mujer del presidente (1997– )

Great series

[30 August 2002]

This Colombian series is like the fugitive, an innocent man accuse of a crime that he didn't commit. Again Robinson Diaz does a great character with debilities and courage, trying to find the truth, the assassin so he can come back to his family, but he is wanted by the police and the real killer.

Bolivar soy yo (2002)

Funny movie, serious movie

[10/10 · 21 August 2002]

I like this movie its funny and has great Colombian actors, I enjoyed Robinson Diaz as the actor that wants to be Bolivar and follow his dreams of peace and union in a world that doesn't care about justice anymore. Amparo Grisales always beautiful, Camargo as the president that just care about his image instead of the country problems. Funny as people treat Robinson as Bolivar maybe looking for a hope a "Liberator" somebody they can believe and trust.

La estrategia del caracol (1993)

Excellent Colombian movie

[10/10 · 21 August 2002]

Well I enjoyed this movie is one of the best Colombian movies I saw, I dont agree with the guy from Canada, the important thing in this movie is the people and feelings, the characters are real, no special effects. Everything comes together at the end, its a good movie that shows the great courage of normal people, not Hollywood heroes with big guns.
