Films

I really enjoy going to the cinema. Actually I went yesterday to watch a great movie, it's called "The Ghost Writer", directed by Roman Polanski, and is about a guy (Ewan McGregor) who has to write the biography of a very despicable politician, but it turns out that it is not a simple job. He is involved in a dangerous world where he's followed by many opponents of his boss. In the end he discovers a dirty secret and is wiped off the map. I think that it's a very entertaining movie, much worth it.
Other than that, I usually watch movies at home. I buy them near my university and there is a diversity of film genres: drama, horror, romance, comedy, thriller. You can find what ever you want, and it´s really cheap! So as they say it´s good, nice and cheap! I have a pretty attractive collection of the movies that me and my boyfriend bought, so I can see it whenever I want and also I can lend it.

It's hard to decide which is my favorite film, because there are so many of them!, but any way, I prefer movies that are of intrigue, with an interesting story, like "Tesis" or "Shutter Island", also very romantic movies, like "El secreto de sus ojos" and "Before sunrise". If I would have to choose one of them I would say that Before sunrise is my favorite romantic movie, cause it can represent what love produces in ourselves, you can feel the magic around the characters and you perceive the feeling of true love. I never watch the same movie many times, because I think that you miss the impact of it, and finally you can lose the charm, so I watch the movies that I like the most, at separate times. This last movie is about a young man who knows a beautiful and interesenting woman in a train in Europe, they get off the train and begin an unforgettable visit around Vienna. They are complete strangers but immediately fall in love. So, they just have one night to spend together because he is leaving to USA the next morning, therefore the name of the movie, and they spend the whole night touring the streets of Vienna. I love this movie but I have to rate it as just ok, only recommended for romantic souls!.

I really enjoyed reading your post and I agree with many things you say.
By the way, if you like Polansky you should see The Tenant, a film I saw back in the 80s that really gave me the creeps.
I also suggest you see Men who didn't like women, or something like that (The Spanish translations is Los hombres que no amaba a las mujeres), shich is a very good thriller.
