Rubirosa (2018)
Solid First Part of the Trilogy "Rubirosa".
The Dominican film industry has become the most active in the region. The producers, directors and actors of the continent are aware of this and meet with different productions on the island, as is the case of the main actor and producer of this release, Manolo Cardona (Colombian) and its directors Hugo Rodríguez (Argentine) and Carlos Moreno (Colombian). These join a group of Dominican actors, who are already veterans at the national level to create a work well entertained, well acclimated, well acted, well directed and with a good script. Which leads us to reflect on the word good, which in other instances would lead us to the conclusion that it is a mediocre movie, however, in this case I say it in the best possible sense.
Rubirosa: El Tiguere tells an interesting story, with lots of enthusiasm and a sense of humor. I'm not going to dedicate myself to making a synopsis or specifying the good and the bad of it (I could do that after seeing the whole trilogy), but to simply recommend it as a semi-biographical film set in the Trujillo era. I approve it bluntly.
La fiesta del Chivo (2005)
Important story, so so execution
I am a Dominican, and it's always good to see movies that are about facts from my country. I was waiting for this movie, everybody knows the book it's already a classic, Trujillo's era it's one of the bloodiest of all the dictators-ships that Latin America has suffer. Well, this movie is based on the book of the same name, but it's very difficult to top the book's magic in a two hours film. It's not a bad movie, but it's not what should have been. Nice cinematography in some scenes but the director fails in portray to us the strongest side of the characters. I give the movie a 6 out of 10, cause anyways, it's a good approach to the book, and the people that doesn't know about this story, i recommend this movie as the best out there about Trujillo and his "nasty" regime.
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Action, Humor and beautiful Girls.
Yeah, is a very nice movie, with the waited amount of action, humor, beautiful girls, and Moore performing a near perfect Bond.
The pre-credit scene is one of the most entartaining of all the series. The only let down of the movie comparing with others Bond films, is the low variety of locations, but the ones in the movie are great. The girl is very tough and beautiful, you know, Bond's style. The villain is not my favorite and is not the best of the movie, but i have to say that Jaws is very fun to watch. The strong part of the movie is the action, is just Top Notch, and the other strong part is the humor, that is very constant and funny. Yeah, i like The Spy Who Loved Me and you Bond Fan will like it too. I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
