Referring to IMDb I take it you're meaning the 2010 Spanish film with Javier Bardem as single father of two, with terminal cancer, which sounds a barrel of laughs - not! I'm pretty sure it didn't get a cinema release here, and from what you say maybe that's not a surprise.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-49180375469892084052014-10-13T23:41:22.876-07:002014-10-13T23:41:22.876-07:00If it's your 'bag', Sol, then good for...If it's your 'bag', Sol, then good for you. I think this genre of film has very little to say that is new.<br />I believe it is based on a popular novel and this film doesn't make it any more likely that I'd be reading it. But do go - and enjoy (which I suspect you will). It's got a hefty average 7.6 rating on IMDb so far. Maybe it's one for the younger set.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-10317152734191024692014-10-13T13:19:47.806-07:002014-10-13T13:19:47.806-07:00Ray,

I couldn't get through more than fifteen minutes. What an awful film. It was one of those director self absorbed gimmicky films. Dark, mumbling dialogue, excessive camera movement that made me sea sick and what was the story? I hate these kinds of movies. So la de dah. I just didn't get it nor did I care. Have you reviewed that movie?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-36186055769456950822014-10-13T08:44:40.537-07:002014-10-13T08:44:40.537-07:00oh a 5.

Where as the Hunger Games and Divergent were amazing books, only the hunger games is as close as it could get. next instalment is the next month I think. I will be there with bells on!Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.com
