Itching After Gallbladder Surgery

Tras haber abandonado el blog durante varios meses (no me ha sido fácil Take time to write), I think it is wrong to resume critical of the last movie you've seen, "the network."

Described by some critics as not the movie of the year if not the decade as "the key to understanding our times", comments that are not very much exaggerated if we consider that Facebook has not only marked social relations of the last generation, but because of its tremendous growth some see in him a new platform data exchange that can reach up to compete with Google itself. Leaving

musings back, I will discuss the film itself. Inspired by the book "billionaires by accident" Ben Mezrich , and tells the ideation and creation of Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg a gifted student Harvard, and the evolution of personal relationships as his invention is becoming increasingly important and valuable. While the Facebook platform is completely new, substantive issues are ancient history, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, ...

The film follows a narrative that is partly complex at first, then go serene. It has been compared with Japan's "Rashomon " for trying to tell the same story from different points of view. Although not so clear I see a parallel, if it is true that the story tries to be impartial in order to offer a more documentary of events. It thus offers a more accurate story that neither wants nor seeks to delve into the complex character of the inventor of Facebook nor in any of his peers.

The film is so cold indeed, with the help of soundtrack composed by Trent Reznor quite dark but still without achieving any character a clear empathy with the viewer, it opens the door to reflection on the human behavior to the power, money and ambition, which makes it a movie, good and interesting and Above all, it is true, really comtemporanea .

" Team Attack " , total nonsense

If you recently made reference to the pleasant surprise I had expected "The Shield" , starring Steven Seagal , this time playing the other side of the coin. "Team Attack" ( Attack Force , 2006) is possibly the worst film of the extensive filmography of the star of "Above the law" . Yes, I must say that not all the blame is yours, because the circumstances surrounding the film are of course much more interesting than its argument. But we split.

Here's the synopsis of the film, which is not easy to tell given the large number of irrelevance of the plot: The film starts with an attack on a military base that is aborted by Marshall Lawson (Steven Seagal ). Then, as his team celebrated the success of the mission, are brutally murdered by a prostitute in a hotel. The death of Lawson's men is associated with a drug called CTX that transforms the decision into powerful killing machines. Lawson then investigate the story in which military personnel are involved.

Before further analysis of the film, it is necessary to explain the unusual circumstances surrounding the shooting of this film. Prince its original title was "Harvester" ("Reaper" or "Harvester" as translated) and its plot orginał was closer to science fiction: it Seagal's character faced alien vampires ... The producers of the film when they saw the final result decided to change the whole alien plot by the new argument of the drug becomes superasesinos. Both Seagal as the screenwriter Joe Halpin ( "Mercenary" ) and director Michael Keusch ( "Shadow Man" ) ceased production, so that those responsible filmed new scenes with the cast and much of the intensified dialogue Steven Seagal .

El resultado no podría ser peor: Steven Seagal apenas aparece unos veinte o treinta minutos en pantalla, aunque sus escenas están repartidas por todo el film y en muchas se le filma de espaldas para que no se note que es un doble. El guión no tiene ni pies ni cabeza con personajes que aparecen y desaparecen. Apenas hay acción y la que hay está filmada de manera torpe. Poco o nada se puede salvar de este film, si acaso su doblaje al español que hace más soportable su visionado, ya que entre otras cosas evitas el redoblaje que hicieron de las escenas de diálogo de Seagal donde ni siquiera coinciden los diálogos con los movimientos de sus labios.

I would have liked to see the original material filmed at the beginning to realize its extent, though I'm sure the trio being Seagal, Halpin and Keusch the middle I do not think that we've lost a lot. We owe them "jewels" as "Shadow Man" or "Flight of Wrath , but this time I'm sure you would not have done so badly.

best: the dubbing into English.

worst: the film itself.
