| Strange but kind of interesting guy. Likes movies, TV series, Rock music (from David Bowie to Metallica), dreams (specially the conscious ones), absurd humor, a few books, a few graphic novels, a few videogames, some drinking stuff, some smoking stuff and probably some things he can't manage to remember right now. Oh, and monkeys. |

Barcelona (un mapa)
Unrated
Ventura Pons wants to be Bergman but he can't. It's only worth watching it just because of the cast.
The Simpsons Movie
PG-13
Just a long episode, the first half hour is very good but the rest is just fine. And the thing about saving the world is so not original.
Gedo senki (Tales from Earthsea)
Unrated
Extremely boring. Takes the worst part of the Earthsea saga and adds some clichés and a pre-90s visual style.
