Advantages: Well shot, developed and novel film Disadvantages: For some the pace may be slow, subtitles
Historias Minimas (minimal stories) is a beautiful film from 2003 set in Argentinean Patagonia that has been somewhat overlooked in the face of popular Spanish language films released in the past decade.
The story follows 3 people on their separate but interweaving trips to San Julian the regional capital from their rural villages, but if that premise sounds a little overused then it isn't fair to describe the film as such. Essentially this is a film about nothing and also about everything. Three people travel to San Julian for very different but basically mundane reasons; however, the concentration on the everyday ups and downs and conversations between the most ordinary of people is far more effective at illuminating humanity than most dramatic films where large and life-changing events take place. Here the little ways in which people ...
Advantages: Great story, interesting Disadvantages: Is it true??
The Da Vinci Code is probably one of the most controversial books of the modern day. When it was released it caused a storm. The Da Vinci code was released in 2003.It was written by Dan Brown and was an international bestseller.The book has sold 80 million copies as of 2009 and has been translated into 44 language.

The basic story features Robert Langdon, a professor of Symbology. He is ...
Advantages: Good performance by Robert Redford Disadvantages: It's about baseball
lose for his financial gain. When Roy refuses to play ball (not literally!), things begin to get nasty. Can Roy save his career and the reputation of his team? And will he manage to sort out his complicated love life?
I don't like baseball. I don't like films about baseball either. I recently watched Field of Dreams about a reincarnated baseball team and thought it was rubbish. Yet while sitting flicking the channels the other night, The Natural caught my attention and I ended up becoming engrossed. Baseball aside, this film is quirky and slightly off the wall. Oh, and the fact that Robert Redford is in it helps too!
As Roy Hobbs, Redford is playing a man that is quite a bit younger than he was at the time - he would have been nearly fifty, yet Roy Hobbs is in his thirties for most of the film. Although this is immediately obvious ...
