I bought this movie on DVD few weeks ago and I must admit that I really like it. It is not only an excellent film with extraordinary performances but also a captivating movie with 3 different stories with the connection of the dogs. All the actors play their roles brilliantly. Thanks to all these things I highly recommend this movie to all the people who love good movies. Thanks to this film I am starting to love Mexican films and Mexican actors, specially Emilio Echevarria, recently seen in 'The Alamo', film which I did not like at all due to the way in which the Mexican soldiers are portrayed, but this is not the case. What I am saying is that 'Amores perros' is absolutely recommendable to all those people interested in good movies.

I have recently seen 'Kingdom of heaven', film which I did not enjoy for one simply reason. It is very well made and the performances are extraordinary, but it has a very big mistake, the way in which it portrays both sides of the crusades. While the Christians are shown as beasts ready for blood, specially the Templars, who want power and hate the Muslims, without mercy, the Muslims are portrayed as the victims of the crusade. While the Christians never forgive the lives of the Muslims, the Muslims have mercy on their enemies and let them live. This is not accurate at all, neither the Christians were the beast this film try to show us, nor the Muslim were the good soldiers as in the film. I am not talking about a clash of civilizations, not at all, but it totally partial to say that the Muslims were the good ones and the Christians, with any exceptions, were the bad ones. It is not true because the Muslims committed many crimes on behalf of their religion. What I think is that Ridley Scott has made a political correct film in order not to hurt the Muslim community in Europe and in the rest of the world, and this is not good but it changes completely the story. Moreover, while in Jerusalem, there were no Jews in the film, something that is wrong because there were a lot of Jews living there at that time, so I do not understand the director's point of view. It could have been a very good film but due to the political correctness it has turned out to be a disappointing movie. Even I was nearly to leave the cinema due to the constant attack towards the Chrisitans and the defense of the Muslims. Now I understand why this film is so successful in Muslim nations. It shows just a part of the real history not all.

I have just seen 'The last ride'on DVD and I really liked it very much, not only because Will Patton, who is in fact my favorite actor, apart from Gerry Butler, is an excellent character actor, but also because the story itself is very interesting. Since the very beginning I was caught by an attractive argument so that I enjoyed this movie very much.I am waiting anxiously to buy it on DVD because I love Will, he has showed his enormous talent for acting in all his films so I hope he will be nominated for the Oscar awards one day. On the other hand it is clear that the American productions are much better than those made in Europe, without any doubt and although some of them are not good, (there is always an exception to the rules), in general American action movies, like 'The last ride' are better and more interesting. I do not why but the case is that I personally prefer those films made in the States and not only because of Will but also because I love them and that is all. In conclusion, this is a very recommendable film with good performances and an interesting story.
