Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Penelope Cruz can get an Oscar tonight, she plays a neurotic Spanish artist in the latest Woody Allen movie. Playing this role was not a big challenge for Penelope, Spain is full of neurotic people and crazy artists and she grew up there (so did I).So I don't think she deserves the Oscar, unless we judge her for her looks, if so, she deserves 3 Oscars. The Movie:
Woody Allen with 3 of the most sexy actors, a good script and a great background (Barcelona) managed to ruin this movie, by using an horrific voice over that destroys the basics of any movie, one guitar song that seems to be the same during the 96 minutes and worse of all a bad structure of the film, taking nearly half of the movie to introduce the irrelevant characters, and rushing trough the interesting ones, without giving us the chance to get to know them.
Watch it without the voice over or "watch it" without the visuals.

Jamon, Jamon (1992). Want to see a hilarious but serious satirical film that mixes and makes superior use of eroticism, surrealism, gross out scenes, and a fantastic music score ? Look no further than these 90 minutes. A Tale of Ham and Passion. This is the one to watch with Penelope Cruz and Bardem and directed by Bigas Luna.

Well... she did, she won the oscar for the best Actress in a Supporting Role, which shows: what do I know about films or that they owe her two more oscars for her looks.
