Old movies always have had a special charm for me and if the director is Alfred Hitchcock I think it's a safe bet for, without more pretensions, to pass a very good time.

So, for my first staging of our cineclub, I chose this friendly film that reminded me, not so old, times of my childhood.

Through this enigmatic window we can see the weaknesses of human beings, marriage, loneliness, misunderstanding between men and women, coexistence and the hopelessness of so many everyday situations.

An impeccable direction and a gripping atmosphere. Great actors like James Stewart and Thelma Ritter made great performances, and Grace Kelly fills the screen with her natural beauty.

There are several simple and profound stories, dialogues and scenes of suspense to remember.

As always, we enjoyed another wonderful evening  with the best company.

Hello everyone.

It is said that a movie-club without a blog is not the same, so I am writing this in order to check it.

Last Saturday we watched Terminator.

On last Saturday we invited the other members of our club to our house. What movie could we chose? There are so many great films, but they would like them. Which one should be the first? Could we decide without arguing?

As always stopmoney, the person I am in love with, had the solution. Both of us should make a list of five to ten films and the movie that was in all the list would be the winner.

I am not very clever but when I was finishing my list I knew that “The Terminator” was going to be our election.

It is a great movie, directed in 1984 by James Cameron before being famous. It is a science fiction thriller with one of the most threatening enemy you can have “a cyborg”. In my opinion the best role of Schwarzenegger ever. It has a good script that allows you to discuss about what is first the egg or the chicken and things like that. The action scenes and rapid pacing are amazing you can see how good was Cameron (as in Alien 2 also).

I haven’t seen it in the last 10 or 20 years so I had blend some images from the second and the first terminators, but I enjoyed a lot watching at it again. It is an 80`s film so is quite violent, Schwarzenegger's slamming brutally into anything that gets in his way: I think that nowadays they would take off some of this images. Nevertheless there are some great images, like when you are looking through the Cyborg eyes all in red or the hand of the Terminator trying to catch Sara Conor this one was copy in “the Curse of the black pearl”.

We saw a very unusual making of the movie (well indeed is about terminator 2), It is only available in Spanish. You can see in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS1dCPHU1gE

All in all a great film with a great company, and always is an extra point to see the 80`s hairdressers, people listen to walkman and not being able to use a mobile phone. All of these very weird for my children ;-)

I am thinking about my new list……
