ESPAÑOL This will not be the usual Trailer to Credits. All of the marketing for this movie was so ambiguous, that I went to watch it without clear expectations, besides from the hope of watching another of Christopher Nolan’s brilliant films. I was wrong. It isn’t another of his brilliant films. It may perfectly be [...]

Daybreakers: Trailer to Credits
Posted in Reviews, tagged Entertainment, Movies, Reviews, Science Fiction on January 9, 2010 | 1 Comment »
ESPAÑOL This movie has many interesting things. Also, an important warning to read at the end of this post, which as usual keeps my promise not to spoil the movie. It is a good one, but be careful. It isn’t for everyone! We can start as usual by the trailer: There’s a longer trailer, but [...]
Avatar: Trailer to Credits

ESPAÑOL What an incredible movie-going year! I have commented here on the best movies I’ve watched lately. The truth is that after Inglourious Basterds , I thought there wouldn’t be a better movie in a while (see my post on Inglourious Basterds). Avatar may be the one that proved me wrong. I admit I didn’t [...]

Hi friends! This is my 50th post on the CALM Scramble! I hope you join the celebration… I have prepared a little recount on everything so far. For those that came later, I hope you have some time to explore things you might have not read before. For those that have been reading from the [...]

Here we go for another spoiler free review! Today was the opening day for 9, the first full length movie by director Shane Acker, but notably publicized for its producer: Tim Burton. But he is not the only well known person involved. The movie has a respectable cast, and the soundtrack has a collaboration by [...]

ESPAÑOL I am currently taking a course on design thinking. One of the first assignments was to read the book As the Future Catches You by Juan Enriquez. It presents many of the advances made in science, technology, and genome research, that will not only change the economic landscape, but also the social structures upon [...]
Naked in Death: Cover-to-Cover

After reading Neuromancer last month, I took a break from my fictional readings. Once I was ready for a new one, I just felt like reading something light. As a result, I picked Naked in Death, a book written by Nora Roberts under the pseudonym of J.D. Robb. Contrary to Neuromancer, this time my expectations [...]
Inglourious Basterds: Trailer to Credits
Posted in Reviews, tagged Entertainment, Movies, Reviews on August 22, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Yesterday, on its opening day, I watched Inglourious Basterds (although not the midnight screening this time!). Remember how I raved about District 9 last week? Well, I can tell you that easily this movie is a lot better! Probably the best movie I’ve watched this year! If you don’t have a clue about this movie, [...]
District 9: Trailer to Credits
Posted in Reviews, tagged Entertainment, Movies, Reviews, Science Fiction on August 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday, at 12:01 am, I watched District 9. Knowing that I am one of the few having already seen it (although, for my surprise, the theater was almost full), I will take extra care on not spoiling the movie. If you haven’t seen the trailer for District 9, watch it, but don’t explore anything else. [...]
