Well, it's October 15 now... 2 1/2 months till the end of the year. It has been a good, if not great, year in movies. From the dense meditation on the roots of evil in Michael Haneke's Das weisse Band (The white ribbon/El listón blanco) to the really sweet How to train your dragon (Cómo entrenar a tu dragón) directed by Lilo & Stitch's Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois. From iguanas, dancing souls and the best performance in Nicolas Cage's carrer (and easily the best male performance of the year) in Werner Herzog's The Bad Lieutenant. Port of call: New Orleans (Enemigo interno) to Ellen Page, D.W. Griffith, Escher, and dreams inside dreams inside dreams inside deams... in Christopher Nolan's Inception (El origen). To the Pixar movie of the year (if you don't now which movie I'm talking about, please get out of my blog immediatly) to the great, thriumphant return of David Fincher with possibly his best movie to date: The social network (Red Social).
So, as to this date, the best movie of the year will have to be among the efforts of Haneke, Herzog and Fincher (well, if you keep in mind that Haneke's and Herzog's movies are from 2009, then the best movie of this year is definitively The social network). The best animated movie? I really, truly want to say Toy Story 3 but... let's face it, How to train your dragon feels more real and less convoluted. On the other hand, I STILL have yet to see Lars von Trier Antichrist. And I have a reeeeeally good feeling about this movie. Please, check the trailer:
And, of course, if any film that's going to premiere in what's left of the year really has chances of becoming the best film of the year, that's Darren Aronofsky Black Swan. Natalie Portman playing an obssessed ballerina in what seems to be an horror movie. And directed by the guy who directed Requiem for a dream and The fountain. Here's the trailer:
Mexican movies? I really want to see Luis Estrada's El infierno, which my friends tell me it's great. You see, Luis Estrada has specialized in making comedies about México's politics. (La ley de Herodes/Herod's law, Un mundo maravilloso/A wonderful world). And well.. this year is the Bicentennial of México's independency, and as you all know, the drug war is going on... and we're losing it. Here's the trailer. It's in spanish, of course, but I couldn't find one with subtitles. See you in the next post ;).
