O Clone (2001)
The best soap opera of the beginning of 21st century
Extraordinary¡¡¡ I have never watched something like this. It is a very good history. Eleven compact discs, one book, 280 episodes of 50 minutes each one (too long¡¡), it is the result of writer Gloria Perez. Topics like drugs, two similar religions, forbidden love and ethics are mixed by Gloria Perez very well.
Degrassi Junior High (1987)
Unforgettable teenager TV-series
Degrassi Junior High(DJH) was on Mexican TV in year 1993 in April, May and June. In that time I was 11 years old now I'm 21. I always watched it, I really enjoyed watching. I don't remember any episodes very well, but I'll try. I have watch no one in years like many of you, but in those days I remembered that I used to stay alone in the afternoons (no daddy, no mom, no sister at home), I turned on the TV and I watched it.
I loved the character of Spike because of that `different' hair. In one or two episodes, she got pregnant and her boyfriend asked her if she wanted that he would marry her. Spike was sat down on the stairs and she said that she didn't want to have the baby.
Another episode that I can remember is when one of the twins got pregnant in the summer holiday. She had an abortion. She went to a clinic. I would like to watched this TV-series again, but I think that in Mexico the TV-series won't be on TV again, too bad for Mexican teenagers.
In Mexico the title of this TV-series was `The Degrassi's students' it was on Channel 7 in Mexico city.
NEVER ANOTHER TV-SERIES WILL DO THE SAME LIKE DJH, no Saved by the Bell, no Ready or Not, no Beverly Hill 90210, no Dawson's Creek.
Ciudades oscuras (2002)
An uncommon movie
This film is based on the Spanish novel `Cronicas del Madrid Oscuro' (Chronicles of dark Madrid). It is really hard, dark, sadness and violent. A watch into the worldwide reality where living is a won battle. Murders, rapes and suicides happen everyday and Fernando Sariñana put that on the screen... On the other hand you can watch a lot of Mexican famous actors like Diego Luna (Y tu mama tambien, And your mother, too), Dolores Hereida, Leticia Huijira, Ximena Ayala (Nobody hears you, Violet perfume). I do not recommend to watch this movie if you expect to see a funny movie.
El tigre de Santa Julia (2002)
You will really laugh¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
This movie deals with a baby who was thrown away of his house through the window and he fell down on a `maguey' (Mexican plant) since that moment all the movie is a complete joke. It is based on a true Mexican legend.
The Tiger of Santa Julia (the person) lived in Mexico City from 1908 to 1910 when Porfirio Diaz was Mexico´s president. He and three women rob rich people and gave the money to poor people. You watch sex between three women and one man. The sexy young girl is Yvonne Montero who also appears in `Asesino en serio'
Byeoleun nae gaseume (1997)
One of the best Korean TV-series
The story is about an orphan girl who lived with a family who do not love her, but she became a great fashion designer. When she was teenager she met pop singer Mein Li Khan who fell in love with her.
She works for JS Fashions there she meets a man who is the company's director. Some actors and actresses also appear in All about Eve which I also recommend to watch. The TV-serie also has some episodes in Milan, Italy. In Mexico the TV-serie's title was `A wish in the stars', a Korean friend (Vania) that its original title was something like `The beginning of a star at night' Jae-wook Ahn (Mein Li Khan) is a really sexy, handsome and kind man. Jin-shil Choi (Juni Lee) is a beautiful girl and a great actress. They are 17 episodes
Frida (2002)
Wonderful.exciting, a whole experience
This movie is more than a movie, it is history. The acting is really good and Salma Hayek (Frida) is great. She made me feel the suffering of Frida. I did not know anything about Frida Kalho, but this movie has encouraged me to look for everything about her.
Eveui modeun geot (2000)
really interesting¡¡¡¡
When i found this TV-Serie, i knew that i found Asian gold. I have never watched a Korean TV-Serie. It is great. It got my attention and the final is unexpected. It´s true this is one of the most successful Korean TV-series and Jang Dong-Kun is a handsome man.
It´s never boring and this could be real life. A woman who always wants to be number one without taking care who she hurts.
Dulces compañías (1996)
A really difficult movie!
This film is based on a novel, but not an easy novel. A young man sales love to women and men, but he kills them the same night he meets them. One night he kills a woman in her department because she only wanted to give him 200 pesos for his service. The man be back to the same department a year later, and he kills the man who now lives there, and the same happens.
Frida (2002)

El crimen del padre Amaro (2002)
5 000 000 million of people have watch it in Mexico and even twice. Like me¡¡¡¡
A group of people did not want that it will be in theaters, but it gives this film free publicity and this is the cause which a lot of people have watch it. That has called in Mexico `The Father Amaro´s miracle' because Mexican people do not use to watch Mexican movies.
The Cross and the Switchblade (1970)
You will find an encouraged film
I am Mexican and the first time that I saw this movie was when I was 14. Now, I am nearly 21 and I have just watch it and I founded really interesting because it left me the idea that everything can change if you allow Him. Thanks.. In Mexico Erick Estrada is a star, everybody knows him. I really like the acting in this film. In Mexico you can watch this movie only in video.
