Juan's Favorite Movies
The Fall

This is the most incredible choreography of visuals and picture compositions I have not seen at the movies for long time. Stunning, elegant and amazingly beautiful. Mr Singh loves to do this in his films, and we saw that already in THE CELL, but here you are discovering a wonderful camera that many time it's the best narrator on screen, you have seen in other films with better scripts (including the excellent production values). The story could have some weakness, and some actings could be a little flat, but in general, you can't stop enjoying yourself at the movie theater. The acting of that little girl (Cantinca Untaru) is just EXCELLENT and unbelievable rich on details, as well, Lee Pace gives a well orchestrated acting job, and a perfect duet with the girl. I went to the movie theater very tired (and I was afraid I could fell asleep)...I couldn't. Every shot, every angle, every scene are visually a piece of art. Obviously the director pays more attention on this matter than some actors and the script but, hey, movies are moving images too.
WALL-E

I REALLY LOVED IT from the beginning until the end. I found myself twice with my mouth opened, amazed for the story development, the cuteness of the characters and the geniality. PIXAR never has stopped of surprising with their great talents. (Including the prior short film PRESTO that is screened before the wonderful WALL-E. Highly recommended this new animated film. It will be nominated, for sure.
