So, in chronological order, here are the first three of the six movies I've seen in the last month:
The Break Up: (6/10/06) Gotta say, this was way more depressing than I thought it
would be. They bill it as a comedy. No freakin' way. So, basically, the plot is 1) Guy doesn't appreciate girl. 2) Girl breaks up with guy to show him that he needs her. 3) Guy wants girl to appreciate what he does; decides to wait her out. 4) Plan fails and guy admits his mistake. 5) Girl rips out his heart and throws it into a bonfire, while performing satanic rituals. 6) End credits, ushers remove all belts and shoelaces. Depressing, and not very funny at all. But was it good? Eh, it was all right. Vince Vaughan and that chick from Office Space are both good actors. I didn't really care about them though - there wasn't enough of seeing them happy. Rating: 6/10 Official Site | Wikipedia
Cars: (6/17/06) Wow. This was great. I loved this movie. I believe that this is my second favorite Pixar movie ever (right after The Incredibles). Very cool, very fun. Owen Wilson's character was perfect for him. It is a classic (sorta cliche)
story about the stuck up jock guy who doesn't think he needs to be part of a team. He ends up in a backward town on the old Route 66 and finds friends and brings them all to the final race where they help him win. I called the ending, though. You will have to watch to find out. The major fear I had about this movie was how the cars would look with mouthes and personalities and all that. Pixar (as usual) worked it all out and it looked very - for lack of a better term - natural. Cheers to Pixar! And the animation was gorgeous. Simply beautiful. I heard that it took about 8 hours to render each frame of the movie. It shows. Having recently watched The Incredibles, the advances they've made are amazing. Rating: 9/10 Official Site | Wikipedia
Click: (6/24/06) This was a very surprising movie, mostly because I went into it expecting very little. Adam Sandler stars in this movie about a guy who gets a
"universal" remote that - wait for it... - controls his universe. He can fast-forward, rewind, pause, skip chapters, etc. Well, it turns out that it begins skipping whole years of his life and he sees his family fall apart around him. It is actually very touching. And funny. One of the more hilarious parts of the movie is his boss' habit of hiring beautiful women as his assistants. Sandler's assistant, though, is one of the more homely (and scheming) women known to mankind. This is a great movie to go see. I laughed, I cried... although it seems like a much more cliche movie in retrospect. Rating 8/10 Official Site | Wikipedia

"that girl from office space?" jennifer aniston?? how about "that girl from one of the most successful comedy series ever" or "that girl who was dating brad pitt" ? are you saying you don't know who she is? don't you live in america???
actually, I couldn't spell her name (it was late) and I didn't feel like looking it up. do you live in america? answer: no. you live in ecuador where people get things done even though they sleep half the day.
