Movie News and Views

I am launching my new blog Movie News and Views which is dedicated to the love and appreciation of cinema. I will post reviews of films currently playing in theaters, new DVD releases and old favorites. There will be postings on news and information regarding upcoming films. I will also have postings on actors, actresses, directors, etc. that I admire. In the future, when the blog is more established, I hope to post interviews with people who are involved in the filmmaking process.

DVD Mini Review - El Beso del Sueno

Rafael Moreno Alba wrote and directed this interesting and suspenseful thriller. Maribel Verdu plays Margot - a woman who steals for a living in order to support her elderly father. She seduces men and then slips them a mickey. While they are out she steals all of their valuables. Salvatierra (Juan Diego) is a cop with many problems. He is asked to do a favor for a crooked banker. During that assignment he meets Margot and eventually falls for her. Ah, but there are people who are after both of them.

I will not say more about the plot. But it did keep me guessing. Verdu was wonderful in her role and I do hope that we get to see more of this fine actress.
If you are interested in some good Spanish cinema I recommend that you check this one out.
