At first, I was somehow reluctant to see the movie: Colombian movies (tell me about it, I'm Colombian!) are always so over-dramatic and have this very used plot lines: drugs, whores, hit men, more drugs, guerrillas, more drugs... you get the ides. And, don't get me wrong, I think history has to be told by the movies, just not this very sensationalist way. "La pasion de Gabriel" it's a movie about a regular guy, who has chosen to be a priest and who lives in a very small town in Colombia. He falls in love, makes mistakes, tries to do his best, and is making the effort to live leaving a mark... aren't we all? I find the performance of Andres Parra very believable and the storyline very simple and kind of touching. There are some other weak performances and the editing is kind of rough. Overall, I liked the film. I believed the characters and the story; there are no good guys/bad guys, just regular people.

Cabin fever is one of the worst movies I've seen. For a start, the acting is no good, unreal, without attitude and so bad it's not even funny. The story comes without structure, totally predictable, the writing is very unnatural, the characters act in a very incoherent way, there's a lot of make-up involved pretending to gross out the audience but that can't save a bad movie. Like always, there are some good things: like the weirdness of characters or some scenes that are unexplainable but funny. But 2 or 3 good elements can't help 100 mistakes. I think Cabin Fever wants to be a bizarre horror movie, but it's not bizarre, just stupid. Nudity, sex, violence, blood and diseases, the magic ingredients for a boring movie....oh! and don't forget the furious dog, that's the climax. I read other comments of people who found it great; I respect all opinions, but, my advise, you'll get more fun, learn more and have a better time taking the fleas of your dog... trust me.
