I've just got out of watching this movie. It has everything a good horror/terror movie should have: fast actions, short and shocking scenes and music in the right moment.

It tells the story about a senior class students who are victims of a tragedy in a roller-coaster. Some of them survived, like Wendy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Kevin (Ryan Merriman). Together they find out curious facts about the people who did not, though should, have died in the roller-coaster accident.

As the movie develops, it shows the mysterious ways in which death acts. The soundtrack and quick scenes make the spectator feel as if he were there, fighting death.

The movie is not predictable, which is one of it's main characteristics, that makes it even more interesting. Sometimes you might have a clue of what's going to happen next, but most of the time you don't.

I highly recommend this movie if you want to spend a quite scary and frightening moment watching a thriller. But be prepared to be scared.

"Una Familia Especial" had everything to be a good comedy during Argentina's 2005 soap operas' season: good story, great acting and it was entertaining.

It tells (or told, if we consider it has already been canceled) the story about an extraterrestial family who accidentally ends up living in Buenos Aires. The plot goes about their arrival and their way of understanding this "new world" they must get used to. The situations which arose from, for example, the family members confusing idiomatic expressions, were just hilarious.

Even though the plot and acting was good, the program soon started to become difficult to watch: not for its storyline, but for its continuous time slot changing.

It ended in the middle season (August 2005), with quite low ratings. I think that if they would have given it a second chance, it would have had been successful. Because it had all the qualities to be.

So, if you have the chance to watch it (despite of the fact that non-successful soap operas are not exported) don't miss it. I'm sure you won't regret yourself.

"Duplex" it's an excellent comedy. Not just for the acting, but also for the plot. The way the characters interact it's just perfect. Although the outstanding performance is the one by Eileen Essell, playing delightfully Mrs. Conelly's character.

It tells the story about Alex (Ben Stiller) and Nancy (Drew Barrymore), who buy a beautiful duplex apartment in Brooklyn, but its second floor is occupied by an annoying tenant: Mrs. Conelly, an old-Irish woman who will make their lives completely miserable.

As the movie develops, it shows all the possible ways in which the couple tries to get rid of the old lady, without any success. These situations, plus the way Mrs. Conelly handles them, are hilarious.

It has an unexpected ending, but the movie is very well-done. When I went to rent it, I had absolutely no idea I was about to rent, which I personally think, one of the best comedies.

To sum up, if you're about to go for a great comedy, I strongly suggest you go for "Duplex". I'm sure you won't regret yourself.
