Amores Perroes is a Spanish film that is a character piece focusing on people's relationships with dogs and each other. It's won some awards and it one of the films you're supposed to see according to critics and whatnot. It's very well done and well acted throughout. You have to read subtitles, so if you can't read or speak Spanish fluently, this isn't for you. The stories are all interesting, though the affair of a married man with children and a model is too long and boring for my taste. I'd recommend this film if you liked Crash, or movies that combine multiple stories. If you really like movies, you should watch the film as it's cinematography and editing are very well done for a low-budget, I'm assuming independent picture.
Bottom Line: 8.2 out of 10. I bought it for 5 bucks at Best Buy and I'm really happy with the purchase. I have a feeling I won't be watching it often, just like Crash, but it's something to see and appreciate because it's film as art, which is very rare.
I finally saw the hunted with Tommy Lee Jones and Benecio Del Toro. Those two carry a pretty good film. I was amazed how much Tommy Lee Jones did physically for this film. There's a good two minutes where he's just running and chasing Benecio. The knife fights are excellent and it's all around solid. It's hard to top Del Toro's quiet intensity that makes you buy he's a killer. Del Toro is your typical ex-assassin trained to kill in the jungles with his bare hands. Tommy Lee is the man who trained him who is a tracker/ greatest outdoorsmen to have ever lived. I never bought Del Toro's civilian life, but besides that distraction it's a really good movie that doesn't get too ridiculous.
Bottom Line: 6.8 out of 10. If you haven't seen it, like I hadn't, I recommend it. I'm sure it's on USA every now and then.
