Chayanne-Vivo (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This guy is amazing.After selling 20million records came with an impressive change, the album SINCERO-2003, USA Grammy 2004 award nominee, plenty of beautiful ballads, crazy rythms an a magical superb catchy cumbia turns into steady-rock written by one of the best spaniard young songwriters of nowadays, Juan Mogica(the guy, now living between NYC, Madrid and Miami-I've searching his live-is a sort of crazy Nomad guy that has been written many of the greatest pop songs of the lately 10 years for the best latin artists and himself), and the album had an state-of-the-art production by Luis Ochoa, Rene Toledo(The producer of the best Julio Iglesias albums)and a couple of guys of his 90's era.After that amazing album that have sold more than one million records, Chayanne release a couple of personal and interesting as himself albums with great success.But now, this is a real musical revolution, maybe more for the latin audience, but I think that an artist that wait 30 years to release his first Live Cd-DVD looking for the perfection or is God or is too close.Only Peter Gabriel has that kind of artistic contemplation.
Chayanne is a very smart guy.And it's an unique artist.One between a million.I have bought and enjoy a lot of live albums and Dvd shows, but this is an unique one in a lifetime experience.
Recorded at River Plate, Argentina, land of rock and the latin country with more musical cultural level, and an audience mad because the impressive show than more than 60.000 people in HD quality with all his hits you can't doubt about it!!
ONCE IN A LIFETIME,CHAYANNE IS THE BEST.AN UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.
Mozart did, Beethoven did, Peter Gabriel did(And twice)AND CHAYANNE HAS DONE SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME IN THE LATIN MARKET:
A SHOW PLENTY OF MUSIC WITH BIG WORDS
I can't believe it and I'm one of the lucky guys that have both editions right in front of me!!This guy is amazing.
Excuse me ladies and gentleman, but I need to share with my neighboorhood this jewel again.
Thank you, CHAYANNE

The Kiss You Gave Me (El Beso Que Me Diste) (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great title right? Not so great movie. The movie is not that bad, for a first attempt.
The story takes place in a fictional Puerto Rico that has gained independence from the United States (so has Quebec). Angela (played by Maricarmen Aviles) has broken up with her husband; he kidnaps their kid. Pedro Juan (played by Jimmy Navarro) is Angela's teen love and now a representative of Puerto Rico in Quebec. He helps Angela get her son back and in the meantime, they rekindle their affair.
The movie fails in a number of levels. First, the plot of the movie is weak, has been done a thousand times and the only thing new about it was that Puerto Rico was independent. The movie was badly edited and rushed, trying to cram everything into 90 minutes. The acting is not terrible (it is not good either, and honestly, I was expecting better). But the actors cannot do much with what they are given.
So, the movie is somewhat entertaining but you may feel frustrated as to the plot, the pacing, and the acting.

Que Familia Mas Normal (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recomend this movie to teachers of Spanish who want to include in their selection a light-hearted movie with family as a topic at its heart. The actors' accents and idiomatic expressions are true to their characters and authentic: Fernando Allende is Mexican, just like his character, Armando Gutiérrez. Nydia Caro is Puerto Rican, just like her character Lulli. The main characters' mothers have come to join their household; their names are the same the VIrgin Mary has in Mexico (Guadalupe) and in Puerto Rico (Providencia). The Gutiérrez's son is engaged to the daughter of a Cuban father and an Argentinian mother; their daughter, to a very dark-skinned gringo. They converge in their house to celebrate theire son's engagement. The situations and crises the characters go through are very comical and it all has a happy ending.
The family is modern, upper middle class but tradtions and cultural references to the different countries represented in it are there. The enunciation of the characters is clear enough for intermediate and advanced classes in Spanish.It has subtitles to help those in lower level classes. The script is more suitable for a half-hour sitcom than a movie and the editing isn't the best. Its value is more in cultural and linguistic richness.
This is a movie for those who want to see a different aspect of Hispanic cultures, a fresh modern one not based on corruption, politics, drug-trafficking, and guerrilla movements in poverty-ridden backgrounds.

Cultures hilariously collide in this crazy, warm-hearted comedy about the often perilous journey toward family harmony. Popular film and TV star Fernando Allende is Armando, a suave radio disc jockey trying to hide his sexy secretary from his jealous wife. Meanwhile, he's caught in the unrelenting power struggle between his mother and his mother-in-law, both from very different and equally proud cultures. If that's not tough enough, his son plans to marry the daughter of a sophisticated Argentine mother and a streetwise Cuban father who add a unique layer to the family's multicultural blend. Un divertidisimo choque de culturas es el tema de esta alocada y calida comedia acerca de los peligros que abundan en la busqueda de la armonia familiar.La popular estrella de cine y television Fernando Allende es Armando, un meloso disc-jockey que trata de esconder a su sexy secretaria de la celosa de su mujer.Entretanto, se encuentra en medio de una implacable guerra de voluntades entre su madre y su suegra, ambas de culturas muy diferentes e igualmente orgullosas.Y como si fuera poco, su hijo quiere casarse con la hija de una sofisticada dama argentina y de un padre cubano astuto, que le agregan un matiz unico a la mezcla multicultural de esta familia.
