Yellowish Muscus Prior To Menstruation

delighted the great treasure hidden under




Suddenly he let go the string and watched four movies in three days. True, much as I did sit to see one, so I felt no embarrassment. In these few days I caught "Big Fish", "The Lives of Others", "Planet Terror" and the star of today's post "Jackie Brown" . This film was directed by one of my favorites, Mr. Quentin Tarantino in 1997. starred Pam Grier , Samuel L. Jackson , Robert De Niro and Robert Foster, among others.

For me, both "Jackie Brown" as "Reservoir Dogs" were films with which he was indebted ... I have still owe it to the second. Perhaps blinded by the brilliance of his most famous films - "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" - never too near this production tarantinesca. Big mistake. "Jackie Brown" meets the movie's premise tarantinesco : "gonna get" . I do not know if it's technique used to film, how it fits history, the argument same or what, but whenever I see something done for him staying on hold by the two-hour average ... and time just flies ... That's a good sign. In short, once the film could not believe how he had left unnoticed many years .... and I retracted a bit. Has been covered under the shadow of other works that have achieved a lot more prestige or recognition, but this is not far behind ....

I'll tell you a little history, to see if I caught and hand to her, heh. The story is set in the nineties and basically unfolds in three characters , giving each its optical the facts (we are aided by the chambers of Tarantino, who repeat the plot depending on your character). The first is the arms dealer , Ordell Robbie (Jackson). The second is the famous Jackie Brown (Grier), a an airline stewardess fourth in charge of drug trafficking and money for his "boss" Ordell. The third character enters the story as such a moment after all unfolds: the bondsman, Max Cherry (Foster). Robbie
as a good trader, is surrounded of thugs that give the security required your business to survive, so it has a whole fleet of thieves middling to help you trade, keep, kill, etc. When one of them falls on the police resorts to the bail bondsman Max Cherry to ask them out on bail (according to him, because distrust of a black man who came with money in cash, but not a target with the Above silver ...). Once outside, make them disappear , that will not break and end up betraying. That luck runs Beaumont Livingston (Chris Tucker ), and the next to fall prey is Jackie Brown. The police, who had been tracking for some time Robbie, offers treatment: she confesses who brought him the money he found him in the bag (with cocaine) and was saved to go to prison. Treated very seductive, no? Well, while it bore the death threat from Ordell.
Thanks to what I think, is strength of this woman in her forties, helpless and almost unemployed, was saved from Ordell subjecting herself with a stolen weapon. Manage to establish a parallel treatment officer: she confessed all, going to prison a year, but Ordell Robbie was paid $ 100,000 for that service ... not bad, right? Robin agrees and begins to assemble the plan.
But beware, there is a third to cover the backs Brown. There are federal agents, but the bail bondsman Max Cherry (which, let's say, means that fell in love with the brunette just saw ...). We agree that trust is no gangster, not handled with these codes: working with the survival of the fittest the violence, the betrayal ... Bue, which is why Jackie did not put its fate in the hands of the person who once had then had betrayed tried to kill ... third-conspires a simultaneous plan the other two, but that relieved. In other words, everything that happened with that deal would define the other two as invalid.

Well, almost the entire film (which lasts about two hours) is about showing the deployment of these three parallel poyecto will not meet until near the end of the film. why we were so expectant , because not only want to know what all is true, but because Quentin hardly hints about what will happen ... In other words, you do not know which of the three plans which handles well, or translated another way: who is deceiving Jackie Brown. Play with the lack of the characters and the viewers themselves. You have to get literally the last scene so that everything is triggered.

Because that is what the film, the suspense and expectations, I'll close here. Les recommend the film, is a 4 (-) Clare and I think there could be a little higher too ... The performances are great, starting with Grier and Foster. Both characters embody very cold, almost immutable with a shell to start working off the situations listed (one of the best moments, when Ordell intimate with a gun to Cherry in the car, before meeting Jackie), but without forgetting its human side, more sensitive ... That contrast the two subjects makes terrestrial with feelings and elevates the level of human strength face of adversity: I liked a lot. Then there are Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro, which I like too .. pity that De Niro does not look almost nothing: it has little dialogue and very poor.
Well, what about Quentin ... Me I find it difficult to speak with greater objectivity of Quentin Tarantino, because I am a declared fan of its aesthetics, so it is difficult to convey an image they finished it, including their mistakes. Would have to start with what defines their stories: "you do not know what the bad guy, because they are all shady characters." Here Quentin applied again to the class B film, black film ... that powerfully attracts him "underworld" (and I say so because it is very clear discrimination in the U.S. who had to create a genre they belong to African Americans ...) and played music in the key funk & soul. But if there is to be specific, the cult that pays for this film is the blaxplotation film, a subgenre of the seventies which depicted the world of drugs, crime and prostitution in the black community, featuring 100 films % by blacks. Here I is the soundtrack to hear what it is.

Outline Of History Of Basketball

tell stories that are not


Several years ago I recommended a movie, which left waiting, like most of my recommendations, until such time that you feel like make it useful. Yesterday, after the disappointment that I took with "Planet Terror" (I will not comment on this film here, because they do not have much to say but critical ... and does not seem right with Robert Rodriguez's Sin City) I grabbed another film that was illegally obtained (copy to my flash drive from a computer): "Big Fish" , directed by the talented Tim Burton .

The film is from 2003 and boasts an impressive list of famous actors and actresses . say who the players are going to be difficult, because the story is anachronistic , constantly travel the past and present of several characters from the Bloom family. At one point, players could point to as the three members of the Bloom family:
Edward Bloom, a young man is played by Ewan McGreggor ; old, by Albert Finney .
Sandra Bloom (formerly "Templeton"): Alison Lohman begins, then take the post Jessica Lange, achieving a striking resemblance ... William Bloom
: there is a kid who plays him, but most of the time is played that role by Michael Crudup .
Then there's the great Steve Buscemi , the favorite actress of Burton, his wife Helena Bonham-Carter , the French Marion Cotillard , Danny De Vito ... up pops a young star of Disney: Miley Cyrus . A movie!

Telling the story so could be an easy story, which probably will not be easy either believe that some of what I tell them is true . Okay, it's a movie, but this is exactly what happens to Will Bloom. This boy, now an adult to be a father, a grown up with fantastic stories his father had for him. But so is what I heard, that disbelief had cracked all those stories and started asking "true version of events" . And this leads them to request face because Edward Bloom did not know another version: that counted was what had happened.
So, Will you move to France and three years pass without speaking with the father. Back when he learns that Edward had decided to discontinue the chemotherapy treatment he was doing. Now, in the last moments of life, was the time to see how much of what he had told all his life was real ...

This will be the argument the film, a fantastic journey the adventures narrated by the father in his life. I begin to explain each story would be terribly boring and nonsense , so I leave it for the moment they see the film: will help a lot of pictures that you have planned to surprise Burton. But I have to say two things. One, that as Edward revisits his anecdotes with his daughter, which absorbed listener, the spectator himself gets into the story so that you can reach the same share Bloom feeling son "Does this really happened to Edward Bloom in Ashton?" . Two, why that title? The title follows directly from one of the stories and gives a tacit driving the film, because no name constantly, but every now and then recalls that the big fish was a obsession for Edward.
I clarified that I'm going to say very simply what it is that the "big fish", but that, in simple is my error . If anything is clear after watching the film is that stories can be beautiful, fantastic, boring, depressing .... everything is about who has . So, my error will be to simplify something that Edward Bloom made a lifestyle: imagine.
Anyway, the story is something. Edward had heard that the river was hidden a big fish, big, which he said, had several likely sources. resisted being hunted , and was famous myth that there was no line that has not been destroyed by this great fish. Bloom had tried, and it was like their antesesores. Until I remembered something: the myth saying that great fish was the reincarnation of a pirate , so thought "what is can offer to attract a pirate? ". And hung his gold wedding on line thicker than I had. Before the golden touch the water, the animal jumped up and took him into the air, then lost in the depths. For all this, Edward was stunned, because the fish was actually now ... but did not have his wedding ring ... So it was returned several times to the river hoping to find the fish to return his ring. And one day, the day his son was born - without having waited, caught the fish with his fishing rod ... He plunged into the river, took it with both arms and demanded "devolveme the ring!" . And the fish spit in his hand , then leave in a hurry.
This story was the star of his stories, but in turn was a core obsession I had, connected with two mysteries: a beautiful woman and death.

And this is the life of Bloom, packed with quirky characters as a witch who predicts the death with a glass eye, two Korean twins, or a BFG or a circus owner becomes wolf full moon ... and the inhabitants of a village "fantasmasía" (mixes the fantasy with what is a ghost town ... "Spectrum" ... I invented the word, haha, apologize for) ... Because, after all is a stories, and are accountable for have decided what : choose this to be one way and not another. And this is what happened to Edward Bloom chose to tell these stories that are not only part of his life, but they do it as a subject. By the end of the film, William Bloom comes to accept that, beyond what our stories are real, one remains alive in them ... and that can transcend generations is a sign that time does not matter: are immortal .

Well, the movie is a 3 and 1 / 2 Clare . It has the magic of stories and Burton's hand, but even so ... I do not know how to explain ... But everything is so great that the human element enters the plane. And if perhaps they were set a little more, the movie ended up being a gem. The actors? McGreggor I never liked, and this is no exception: it is too, but demasiaaaado laughing ... I would say bordering on the manic defense . Now, I in-can-ta-ron Jessica Lange and Albert Finney. Not to mention Helena Bonham Carter and Steve Buscemi, always make your scene, "the scene" .
Burton could have put a little more of their record, but I just dyed some of the costumes and scenery ... the rest does not seem authorship. Also, I think it was a success the film is directed by Steven Spielberg and not, as had been thought originally.

Well, a trailer:




Until next time!


PS: As I said, the resemblance is amazing who achieved between youth Sandra Templeton (Alison Lohman) and in adulthood (Jessica Lange):

The rock musical


Just finished watching "The Wall" , the film Pink Floyd was symbol of rock in the eighties. Well, there must be a fortune teller to know that today's topic is this film, so here I go.

boot from the show: "Pink Floyd The Wall " in red on black. In other words, is the name of a movie that is not dissociated the band. What's more, the protagonist of the play is called Pink Floyd ... Which leads us to think "self-reference? It seems be obvious, no? Well, I do not know if it really happens in the movie is literally what he suffered one of its members, but tells the story of a tormented artist ... there might be Pink Floyd.
Then I have to add that the full responsibility (at least so it appears in titles) is Mr. Roger Waters . After the title that I mentioned, his name is red, like: "by Roger Waters" . The others? no idea ... See if you follow me, do not perceive certain narcissism ? From the name of the movie, until the protagonist and credit ... Thus, superficially, has the whiff. Still, the film lasts 1:30 so many of my ideas and then be canceled .

is difficult to tell a story of the film, because it is a lively narrative , virtually devoid of dialogue , accompanied by song lyrics of Pink Floyd who travel from one end to the film. Also, I'll make the attempt to tell what it is.
A first impression one might think it's a film about war . We could also say "is the life of Roger Waters" . Perhaps a "film on violence ". By the time ... " the wall is the Berlin? ". Well, let's put aside all this and try to see with the glasses metaphor, as did Waters.
all starts with a maid cleaning the parts. When you reach the last room floor knocks on the door and nobody answered. Adentro see Pink Floyd, a subject of long twenties sitting on a couch watching an automaton television. They are images of war are interspersed with what appear to be memories ... or at least memories of stories. Here appears what could be a risky partnership : at the same time as show fragments of the Second World War , will wick parts of a youth run ends in police repression , then what appears to be a dogmatic worship Nazi-style (to keep the prototypes, such as a logo, a uniform and insignia gesture). At first I thought politically incorrect (and I liked it, heh), but later had the opportunity to think about this partnership as a mix of moments Floyd. Well, you have your interpretation too.
Once music is unleashed in a parallel between openness violent a locked gate on tv and the door of the hotel room, the movie begins for me. Get a good strong theme ("In the Flesh?") And begins a sonic waterfall nuestor that permeates the senses and a half hours ... Now, every song tells what happens in the film. What is trying to describe the origin of Pink Floyd we saw locked at the beginning, the story to load (absence of the father, who died in the war) and how haunts him to this madness his past. This death is in another brick in the wall , but it would be a mistake if we say "I was obsessed with the death of the father" because Pinky had several things in mind besides this family tragedy. On the one hand, we have a mother lies on all its ambivalence: Love and Hate

-cares for, protects, source of truth. -Source of fear, persecution and obstacles.

And here are other indices of "the wall" ( the excellent song "Mother" ):
"Of course mama'll help to build the wall" (Of course, Mom will help build the wall)
Pink responds to what frightened ... "Mother, did it Need to Be So High?" (Mother, it was necessary to be so high?).
Then there is the issue of his relationship with women . A voyeuristic beginning, which then becomes a list accepted by the mother .... but that is forgotten in everyday life (in fact, she says wryly one day "you remember me? Women Registry ? ). This woman misleading term, in one of his trips to U.S. Pink tries erratically resume any contact with women, but ends in the same routine of madness (see rapt television), until it emerges and breaks the whole piece hotel. Looking for love, but it suffers ... suffers previous deception, which can not forget.
school also appears in this tour of the characters "disastrous" in its history. At Teachers dedicated that song so well known ( "Another brick in the wall, part 2" ), where demand "teachers leave kids alone Them!" . This also conforms as another brick in the wall.
Each of these issues attracted me at one point and could make a post for everyone, but it would be too for a film that does not motivate me much more than that they are reading today. As is easy to beat around the bush with this type of plots, I will steer directly toward the meaning of "the wall" . From my reading, the wall is the own world that was put together Pink Floyd: self-restraint, the walls of his own thinking. It would seem that is a concentric wall where he meets himself . I read your wall outlet as madness, the beloved dictator who appears in his delirium.

individual level, that is about the movie. But do not forget that there is also a harsh criticism society, style "Clockwork Orange" : because when violence was justified by the war , nobody said anything .... but when the violence appeared years after the battle ended, who raised his hand to claim? Also, we have a product war of this society (which is not us, let's .... talk about countries that have been at war or at war for years), this version Floyd dictatorial. In the second part of "In the Flesh" Pink crying

"Are There Any queers in the theater tonight? (There are some queer in the theater tonight?) Get Them Up Against The Wall! (Put them against the wall!) There's one in the spotlight, I do not look right to me, (no one under the light, not at me) Get him up Against the wall! "(Take him against the wall!)

At the end of the song" Stop "ends up asking (is) " Have I been guilty all this time? ".

Well, maybe the words abound, but no images without dialogue, has much to explain.
is a movie interesting, I thought it was excellent, and has a sound track / script it's great. The film is an invitation to reflection and philosophy and that maybe is not so much by what can be perceived at the time, but after we have left. The graphics are awesome, very well made. Achieve the metamorphosis proposed by the film. I give a 3 and 1 / 2 Clare .

"Comfortably Numb"


Until next time.
