Veronika Decides to Die (2009)

My favorite book it's now on the screen...

[6/10 · 23 December 2009]

Well this movie almost passed by without me ever noticing it by the lack of publicity at least in my country where the book is known by everyone....(weird, isn't it?). I don't read much so I can't really "decide" when and if the book is better then the movie ( there's a lot of that kind of discussion with several movies and I usually tend to stay away ) but this is my favorite book of all time so obviously i'm suspicious to talk about it. On top of that I don't like Sarah.It was a poor cast choise, so it's two points behind for the movie; also the film skips some very important pieces and moments in the character(s)development. Everything happens way to fast... Still, it's a little life lesson and tries to prove that love can cure everything(?).

The Eye (2008)

Seriously...stop trying.

When is Hollywood going to realize that they just cant top an Asian horror movie with is own imagination, let a alone copy one? thats even worst because real horror lovers already had the top experience with the real one, and they just cant "eat" a fake imitation? isn't bad enough to completely destroy American cinema icons like aliens and Predator? And the top of that, they choose Jessica Alba. Cmon, let her stick to FHM and max men magazine shootouts...

I would recommended all people that had the fortune of not seeing this movie, to see the original, cause its one of the top Asian horror movies.
