This are some movies that I had seen for the first time in the past months but are not new cinema releases, they either are from dvds or tv. Some are old and some others are new and several are just random movies I've watched. 

The Legend of 1900 (1998)                      4/5
Wonderful movie with a sense of European cinema and lovely soundtrack, composed by Ennio Morricone. Tim Roth does a great job as the piano man called simply 1900 who lives forever in a ship, but even if the story is good the cinematography is excellent, its just a good looking movie.

You Again (2010)                                    2/5
They could have done something so much better with this great women cast but sadly it is predictable and a bit boring and the few laughs you get them from Betty White, who is a show stealer wherever she appears, but overall not a good movie. They used great actresses, even counting Kristen Bell, and for nothing.

Roxanne (1987)                                       5/5
Hilarious adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac. Steve Martin makes us laugh big and at the same time fall in love. It has witty jokes and colorful characters and a romantic story that will show you that looks are not important when it comes to love. One of the best movies I've seen of Steve Martin.


I am Number Four (2011)                      3.5/5
Enjoyable movie. Actually this stuff is not like Twillight cause first of all it is packed with action and the love story isn't as melodramatic. It's a teen movie for teens and the fights are spectacularly done a la Michael Bay, who produced the movie, it's a bit cheesy but when the action begins it's packed with fun stuff. And may I say what a hottie Timothy Olyphant is?


It could happen to you (1994)                  4/5
Ah the romantic comedies of the 80s and 90s. Weren't them good? This one is lovely and features Nicolas Cage (back in his good days) and Bridget Fonda involved in a movie where you dont need to be rich or poor if you have love and if you are good to other people you can get back what you lose. It just seems that Cage had good chemistry with everyone back in the days.


NOTE> If you click the title of the movie it'll send you to it's IMDB page so you get to know about what is the movie and who stars on it.

And this is an opportunity to also vote on the new poll at the side like always! So The Avengers is shooting right now at Cleveland and I thought an idea to maybe give a little support to the bad guys for once in their lives, just vote who do you think from the Marvel movies is your favorite bad guy. NOTE> Magneto is only posted once but Im counting both Sir Ian and Fassbender's performance, even if he wasnt the bad bad guy. Im also counting Kevin Bacon's Sebastian Shaw as a villian cause he had a lot to do with the plot and Venom I didn't knew if I put it under Topher Grace so I did anyway.
