Por la libre (2000)
One of the best from Mexico.
Por La Libre is a very good Mexican movie, actually, one of the best we have in Mexican Cinema. Even though it´s a pretty light movie, you can take in consideration many good stuff about this one. First, the story is a very original one.Second, The characters are also original and different from each other. Third, The acting is great by a very believable Osvaldo Benavides, and a surprising hit acting by Rodrigo Cachero, and of course with the beautyful Ana de la Reguera as a Hotel owner´s daughter.
If it gets to show near your city, don´t hesitate, GO!
El espinazo del diablo (2001)
Mexican sixth sense?? horror film?? forget it!!!
The devil´s backbone is a great movie that speaks for itself, so I won´t talk about the plot nor acting, nor direction, which is absolutely great. I will answer to all the people that dont appreciate this movie for what it is... a magnificent work of art. To the people that are sayin stupid and pointless stuff about this movie to be a mexican copy of the sixth sense, let me tell U... y´all are damn wrong. The sixth sense is a great movie, In fact one of my favorites... but there is no point of comparison between these two films, TDB is a movie which centers itself as a drama, and not as horror, TSS is a movie with surprises, and TDB is not, you know everythin´ from the beginning, which for me leads to a higher Lasting Appeal.
TDB is NOT a horror film, as many critics and IMDB members have said, it is a gothic drama with a splendorous touch of suspense that Del Toro sure knows how to give. It is not a movie about ghosts, but it is a movie WITH ghosts just like Del Toro has said over and over and that is something that I could notice right away... it is not the classic ghost movies (so forget about it being a copy of the mexican movie "Hasta el viento tiene miedo" because all they have in common is the school) where there are the usual ghosts giving scares and what not, but it is a movie that deals with many ghosts, but in a very unique way...GO and WATCH IT!!!! don´t see it... WATCH IT, OBSERVE IT!!! YOU´LL LOVE IT !!!
I want to thank all the american people that could see in this movie a very good piece of art. MEXICAN FILMZ RULEZ !!!
