(silence)... I'm sorry, I needed a minute of silence after watching THAT. (Should it be called a movie? I'll look up "movie" in the dictionary).

Well, I can't express my exact opinion about it, so I'll summarize like:

Oh, my God! Is this a video game? Reminded me of my youth years playing with a Commodore-64. I didn't know how to shoot the birds, though.

I'm not making very much sense, and I'll tell you why. After the minute 37 of the THING, I suffered severe brain damage.

Please be aware of that. No adult has to see that unless accompanied by a child. Seriously, that thing can make you either laugh just a bit, or cause a brain shutdown. That's what happened to me. I remember seeing some fake birds, and then.. zap!.. Blackout!

If you look to describe the thing with just one word, you won't be able to. The closest word is "pathethic".

Deserves no more. Please, see it with a child to distract you, so you don't end up like meeeeeeeeee, yahooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeehhaaaaaa!!!!! OK, OK, will not happen again. I took my meds now. See for yourselves.......and don't go saying I did't warn you!

I loved the "Jason Bourne" movies because they redefined the term "spy" as we knew it. They came up with a new kind of character, not just mysterious and boring-slow like before, but fast, intelligent and extremely well-trained. I don't know if that's what spy business is about, but it's certainly what spy-showbiz should be.

That said, "Burn Notice" has it all: Its main character is very smart, extremely well trained and fast. It has funny moments, intelligence in plots, justice done, an a very charismatic main actor, which I didn't like in some movies, but apparently this particular character fits to him like a custom-made suit. I've seen thousands of movies, and I can't think of another actor performing this character as well as Jeffery Donovan does. He's got the exact "poker-face" for the part, showing no expression at all when things go wrong, as well as a "self-confidence" expression at all times, like he's got all covered, even when he has not.

Of course without the supporting cast this wouldn't be a "10" show. I guess they have very good casting guys, or they just got lucky this time. The roles of Gabrielle Anwar and Bruce Campbell are perfect for them, too. And even when Sharon Gless reminds me of my mother, I mean, always smoking, worried and calling at the wrong time, it looks like this makes the show more real and funny.

I give this one a 10, and I hope for many seasons to come!

My congrats, Matt!

I didn't see the movie expecting much, but I got really surprised. The cast is basically the same we see in Argentina in soap-operas, like Natalia, or "lunch-time" programs, like Guillermo. (The exception is the short appearance of "Wonderful Whoopi"). But I was very surprised because these actors put together, along with quite an original story, managed to make a very good movie.

With short spots of humor like any good American movie, and a unique style that was far away from our traditional kind of movies, a very sensitive approach on father-daughter relationships, having not the typical American "supercharacters" that can do anything, but real and vulnerable people, very well performed and not "overacted" like in "soaps", I must say that I was very surprised, for good, and enjoyed it very much. Very good for Natalia and Guillermo!
