December was my first month of summer break so luckily I had time to watch more movies than the last couple of months
And here they are:
- Bad moms
When three overworked and under-appreciated moms are pushed beyond their limits, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long overdue freedom, fun, and comedic self-indulgence. (from IMDb)
My opinion: Don't even bother. It's like a high school movie, except it is with moms. And I usually enjoy that type of movies, but this one doesn't add nothing new, and it's pretty meh.
- Fantastic Beasts and where to find them
The adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York's secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school. (from IMDb)
My opinion: I really liked this movie. I went to watch it with a bit of concern that they would "ruin it", but I think it turned out quite interesting. Unlike the other movies in the franchise, this one didn't have a novel to back it up, so there wans't any book to disapoint (the Fantastic Beasts... book is more like an encyclopedia). Really, I don't even know what I was afraid of,
The most enjoyable parts for me was the actual story, which I hope it will develop in the next films. I'm a little bored of the animation involved in this kind of films, so the scenes involving he beasts were ok, mostly for comic relief, but completely forgettable. The beasts were too shiny, too sparkly and too colourful. I was hoping they would look more like... any oher animal, but I guess magic makes them flamboyant.
Colin Clark, an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier's, documents the tense interaction between Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during the production of The Prince and the Showgirl (from IMDb)
My opinion: It's always sad to see how they used to underestimate her talents. I liked this movie a lot more that I would imagined. It's really lovely and I recommend it.
The Four Horsemen resurface and are forcibly recruited by a tech genius to pull off their most impossible heist yet (from IMDb)
My opinon: This is one of those movies, like The Hangover, that, imho, had completely unnecesary sequels. Why? If it ain't broken don't fix it. The first one was interesting, cool, fast paced, and this one is EXACTLY THE SAME, but less inspired. It's enjoyable, but it didn't surpass the original.

- Kryptonita
An Argentinian adaptation of the Justice League series. What would have happened if Superman's ship hadn't landed in Smallville, but in a poor city next to Buenos Aires? Kryptonita tells the story of an unconventional roguish Justice League, trying to save Kal-El's life from the police and no other than Doomsday himself. While kept hostage by Juan Raro (J'onn J'onzz), Cuñataí Güirá (Hawkgirl), El Faisán (Green Lantern), El Ráfaga (The Flash), a transvestite named Lady Di (Wonder Woman) and El Federico (Batman), a night shift doctor fights to keep Nafta Súper alive after removing a chunk of kryptonite from his side. (from IMDb)
My opinion: Ok, this was interesting. I've wanted to see his movie for awhile and I remember all the fuzz when it premiered. It was definetely not what I was expecting, but I liked it nonetheless. It is based on a novel with the same title, written by an Argentinian author.
I don't think it would be fair to compare it with the massive Hollywood productions (a HUGE difference in budget, duh), but I think they did good with what they had. It mantains a certain comic style, and it has a very dark and gritty aesthetic.
I don't think there's a subtitled or dubbed version of the trailer, so here it goes in Spanish

- Girl asleep
The world is closing in on Greta Driscoll. On the cusp of turning fifteen she can't bear to leave her childhood, it contains all the things that give her comfort in this incomprehensible new world. (from IMDb)
My opinion: I really liked this movie! Is a coming of age movie with a weird oniric twist. It's very aethetically pleasing à la Wes Anderson, with a lot of unnerving strangeness.
A video game villain wants to be a hero and sets out to fulfill his dream, but his quest brings havoc to the whole arcade where he lives. (from IMDb)
My opinion: I don't think this movie will ever be a classic film from Disney, but it's ok. It has its bright moments and it's enjoyable, but I don't picture myself re-watching it.
The story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York heiress who dreamed of becoming an opera singer, despite having a terrible singing voice. (from IMDb)
My opinion: The only reason why I wanted to watch this movie is Hugh Grant. I'm so used to see him in Bridget Jones' Diary and Notting Hill (over and over and over and over again) that I didn't realize that time went by and he is actually aging!! I'm not getting any younger, either, but in my head he was frozen in time.
The movie is really nice and heartwarming, based on a true story about people with mediocre to none talent, but with a heart of gold (?).
A documentary team films the lives of a group of vampires for a few months. The vampires share a house in Wellington, New Zealand. Turns out vampires have their own domestic problems too. (from IMDb)
My opinion: OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE. I've been wanting to watch this for ages. Watch it. Watch it. WATCH IT. You won't regret it. It's absolutely hilarious, there's really not one moment that is not funny.
And an extra clip, just for fun
