UnderTow

For: Rodrigo Videla M

The film from the American director (David Gordon Green), who shows us through this story, the quiet life of a widower with his children and how they may be disturbed by the appearance of a guest who was not in the plans. John (Dermot Mulroney) brings a calm to be with their children Chris, played by Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) and Tim, represented by Devon Alan. His life away from civilization on a farm in Georgia, is disrupted by the arrival of the brother of John, Uncle Deel (Josh Lucas), who, feigning a friendly attitude with his nephews and brother, intended, after leaving the prison, to take revenge for past outstanding issues and take an old family treasure.

The protagonist of the film goes on the shoulders of the brothers Chris and Tim, when Uncle Deel kills in a cold and ruthless to his brother, after a tough discussion which exposes the true personality of the character interpreted by Josh Lucas. The wickedness and thirst for revenge for past events, forcing teenage brothers to flee quickly from the farm to build a new life with the old family treasure in his possession, the item that begins the persecution of Deel psychopath to his young family.

It is from the radical change of ownership where concepts begin to emerge, leading and psychological side of the film. The innocence of two children takes them on a journey with many shades of adventure without risk, taking into account that consistently pursues evil entity. This situation makes us feel part of the maturity of the brethren, that in this attempt at survival, seem to improve very fast to what is a necessary development due to the loss of a father figure.

Donnie Darko

For Franco Arriagada



Enigmatic, fascinating and unique. In many ways these could be called DonnieDarko, shot in 2001 and directed by Richard Kelly. This psychological thriller tells the story of Donnie, a teenager with an apparent sleepwalking and paranoid schizophrenia. Due to this condition, Darko has terrifying visions of a rabbit namedFrank. In one of the many occurrences of the sinister character, he tells theprotagonist that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.


With this pressure, Donnie is immersed in an atmosphere in which she has mental voyages contrast with retracted his personalityAt the same time, Frank-intepretedby James Duval-Darko gives indications as it appears. These requests are becoming ever more extreme, anticipating events that are to occur.




Notable among such scenes difficult to understand, the participation of actors likePatrick Swayze, who plays a sort of false spiritual guidance and Barrimore Drew, who plays a teacher who repeatedly appears throughout the film. Also, theprotagonist, Jake Gyllenhaal (Brockebakck Mountain, The Day After Tomorrow), is brilliant, giving life to a Donnie increasingly affected by the appearances of Frank and the orders he gives.



The most salvageable of the tape: forcing the viewer to think and constantly have tobuild the story, considering that not even the protagonist knows, at first, like putting together the complicated puzzle. A puzzle that has to do with destiny and the abilityto accept or bending Donnie hand.



Title: Donnie Darko, duración: 115 minutos. Reparto: Jake Gyllenhall, Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, Noah Wyle, James Duval. Director: Richard Kelly

For Tamara Peralta
A documental about  tree legendary guitar players. The movie goes trough tree decades of rock history , the Late 60 with Jimmy page  FORMER  guitarist for the famous band LED ZEPPELIN, probably the most significant guitar player in the movie , the oldest and the most close to the early rock and roll.  Then the sonic master, the U2 guitar player the EDEGE , he was from the late 70s and goes all the way to this day. The blues maniac, the furious and wild  JACK WITHE , leader of the band The withe stripes . Jack establish is musical journey in the late 80 and in the 90s .
The movie put this amazing artists in a moving bio about their struggle for make a living with their music .Growing up in poor  houses and been raised in working families. The fight for a living and the enjoy and salvation of discovering probably the most powerful and infinite instrument, the guitar .The passionate love for the instrument is one or if no t the main theme   of this movie.
Also the different countries on which  every guitarist come from , makes the history even more fascinated cause their different back grounds put different emotions into their  different styles of music.
The idea was to tell the history but also  put this guitarist in a room , with all of their equipment and guitars , records , to discuss their experiences with the guitar .Jimmy page is the wizard , the wiser and oldest .His technique and trick are phenomenal things to watch .He shoes his passionate  for blues and rock , but also his search for new music , such  as Indian music and classical . His secrets are for any guitar player , a mind of gold. He revels the secret   guitar chords and tuning of the exotic Led Zeppelin song “ KASHMIR” , probably the best of the page moments.
The edge shoes his passionate love for effect units , and his unique vision of sound , make sound his guitar like no one else , very simple , but with a sound only his mind can achieve .Page calls him ·”A SOUND ARQUITECT “  .
Jack with is the wildest , with a strong blues background mix , with punk and anger  his guitar and voice is like  bomb .His attitude goes through his speakers , with a distorted and blues sound ,and ingenious ways to play and perform , makes him the a total maniac .
It might get loud, is a moving history, full with stories that will keep a music lover fascinated. Maybe  is not a movie for someone one who likes Electronic or pop music , but if you are into music and no necessarily into  music of Zeppelin ,U2, The With Stripes , you will find fun to watch , and if you are  a guitar player , wath are you waiting for? But careful cause it might get really loud.
