Lately, I've been watching lots of movies (shocking).
Mainly because every year you can see the oscar nominated movies after the ceremony. Some of them can be really bad or whatever, but there are always movies that really worth a walk to the cinema.
The first part of the post is for that kind of movies I've been watching lately and I truly believe everyone should, at least, know.
The Iron Lady
Film based in the life of Margaret Thatcher. Inspiring, moving and the scenes and footage are completely artistic. Beautiful. Plus, Meryl Streep acting skills that always leave me speechless.
Extremely loud and incredibly close
I really don't want to spoil the story about this 9-year-old kid. Take a while to the story to take a proper shape, but is a movie I will never forget. I should confess that half of the movie I was crying and the other half I wanted to cry :P
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I read the books and I liked them, I saw the swedish movie and I liked it, I saw this hollywood version and liked it too. Probably because I'm secretly in love with Lisbeth Salander and that fiction I have for really strong female roles in movies, theater and books. Mistery-fiction movie, probably you'll have to see it twice to get all the details.
My week with Marilyn
The resemblance and good acting as Marilyn is IMPRESSIVE. Such a beautiful-romantic-drama movie based in a journal of a guy who spent a week with her during the shooting of "The prince and the Showgirl" back in the sixties.

Albert Nobbs
When you hear of a film about the life of a 19th century woman living in Ireland pretending to be a man and falling in love with an other woman... you are going to be probably freak out. But this movie is really inspiriting, vanguardist and different. Great story and the acting is fascinating.
This last movie "Albert Nobbs" made me think about good movies that have gay of homosexuals topics. So I decided to also post some of the movies that I've seen lately that revolve around the "homo" theme. I truly recommend them!
The kids are all right
I should say that I was skeptical at the begging, I thought "this is not a credible lesbian couple". But as the movie progress everything start to make sense and at the end I was fascinated by it. I felt so identified with some of the family problems and that just means one thing: Is a well done movie (and story) and the main characters sexual preference does not mater.
La otra Familia
Mexican movie about a little boy who is "saved" from his drug addict mom by a gay couple. Maybe is not the best movie, but I like how they are trying to push boundaries inside my very homophobic hometown.
Milk
A few years ago I saw this movie about Harvey Milk, the fist openly gay California official. The movie is inspiring, based in a true story, great acting and it keep you interested from the begging to the end. This is one movie you CAN'T miss.
I love you Phillip Morris
I saw this movie a couples of days ago and it's completely HILARIOUS. You have to know that even with the appearance of Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor the story is terribly bad. The end is terrible and you the characters are not real at all. But the movie is filmed in this very eccentric way with this weird eccentric acting and somehow I started to like it. It's silly, different and not for everyone. If you get to see it, just have fun and embrace the whole thing. At the end I truly enjoyed it!
La mala Educación
This is a Spanish movie by Almodóvar. I must say that is a really strong film that I DON'T recommend for everyone. You need to like very serious and strong movies. Thee some quite hard gay scenes also. I saw it when I was WAY younger and it was a horrible experience! I saw it again, like two months ago, and now I get the whole point. Is amazingly good, but hardcore. Mexican and Spanish really good actors. Religion is also criticized in the whole film.
Hope you'll be able too see one of these ten movies. I had such a great and beautiful time with every single one of them. The one's form the Oscars that I've seen but I don't like, I will just not post them because others may like them.
GET THE POPCORN!
