Despite the loads of Critics, Audiences, and peers, several people including the current US President think she is one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood.
Does she really deserves all the praise she gets?

Noce i dnie (1975)
This could be me last review
I've seen this movie several times in Uruguay, that was very popular on TV Channel 10, in Spanish, during the 80s.
I thought that was a miniseries and just know that is a 6 hours film, that was an Oscar nominated. I cannot understand why have only one review. If the movie was translated to Spanish, must be translated to English in the 80s too.
Wonderful cinematography and with a great and charming performance by Jadwiga Baranska, the night, Jerzy Binczycki was more the day. Wonderful ending at the beginning of WWI.-
Why this great and classic films are totally forgotten here?
I cannot understand this!!!
Private Lessons: Another Story (1994)
Cliché but hot
The whole plot is stupid and Cliché but still sexy.-
A Separated and repressed woman (Mariana Morgan) who is also rich and a model photographer find lust in her Cuban limo driver Raul (Ray Garaza).
After a couple of sexy encounters, passion wins and they finally have sex.
But then the cheating husband appears, with the help of Morgan fake friend.
Still the flesh is stronger and Lauren and Raul have sex again.- At the end love triumph. There are several sex scenes, Morgan has a sexy body, and can act.
It's a pity that she has very few movie/film credits.
The Dressmaker (2015)
What a Horrible movie!!!
I haven't read the Novel, and after seeing the film I'm not interested in read it.
Kate Winslet is awful in automatic pilot, while Hugo Weaving, Judy Davis and Liam Hemsworth (Yep Mr. Miley Cyrus) are fortunately much better!!!
And that's the main reason I give 2 stars to this awful movie.
The story focus on Winslet bad luck and her sadistic revenge-
This suppose to be a romantic comedy, but instead is a very black one, with more deceases than Game of Thrones!!!
Unforgettable for all the wrong reasons!!!
El pecado de Julia (1946)
Mario Soffici a director that should be revisited
An Italian immigrant in Argentina, Soffici was a prolific actor and director, a play lover, his films were particularly brilliant in a time where Argentinian's films weren't very good.
This movie is loosely based on August Strindberg famous play Froken Julie AKA Miss Julie, with too many liberties, that explain brilliantly the complexity of the authors mind.
There are several particularly good scenes, two about Julia's nightmares, first she descending from heaven, then she met the fairies, The Saint John's festivities her disgrace and finally a big scene between her and her male servant Juan where they roles are changed.-
Beyond that Soffici is a great Prima Donna's directors.
The legendary Amelia Bence, who still beautiful and active at almost 100, is magnetic as Julia aristocratic Protestant Anglo-Irish Snipster in the Catholic Ireland who at first had no mercy to her dog Diana, then succumbs to love and finally dementia descend to hell.- Her male counterpart Spanish Actor Alberto Closas (soon to be Bence's real life husband) is equally good as Juan the male servant.
The character of Christine is divided between the tragic young cook Cristina (Aida Luz)who loves Juan, and the middle age religious housekeeper Karen (Milagros de la Vega) and both actresses excels in their roles.-
Finally this movie, apparently inspired the more famous and expensive 1951 Alf Sjöberg and even the great Ingman Bergman.-
It's on youtube and deserves a look.-
12 Years a Slave (2013)
Slavery is bad
Long time ago, in the romantic and wonderful south of Scarlett O'Hara, where black people were slaves, woman remain virgins until marriage, children obey their parents, there were no l Jews were in America, and the only gay human being was Orson Welles, who was living in an ugly and dirty place called London.
A free black man called Solomon Northup was confused with a slave. So he served as a slave for 12 years, for different jerks who thoughts they were preachers. And blame their black people for all the bad things.
We all know that God is catholic and the rest is just people that thoughts that they are Christian, when in real life we know that are just pagans who adored the devil.
The worst by far is Edwin Epps who had an ugly wife and is attracted to an even uglier young black slave, Patsy, who deservedly is punished for have his master so bad taste in women.
Not all black people were bad threaded . For example there is Dominique Deveroux mother who teach ed her daughter that there is no more bitch girl, than a black bitch.-
Finally Northup received the help of Matt Fincher superhero Brad Pitt who rescued him from Slavary.
The he changed his name to Chiwitel Ejiofor, and become and actor and gain an Oscar nomination, just to loose his deserved Oscar to the bastard idiotic son of Edwin Epps Matthew McConaughey.
That jerk thanked his father in the speech and then gives one of Epps typical sermons-
For the rest of characters Patsy was rescued by Angelina Jolie. Today is one of her 250 adopted daughters.
The Epps divorced, and now Mrs Epps makes threesomes with Ellen Degeneres and Rosie O'Donell, while Edwin lost everything, and past his last days of future past as the slave of the terrible slavery Jennifer Lawrence.
Brad Pitt had an even worse faith, he dated a couple of years Gwynneth Paltrow.-
Well that's the story and my review of 12 years of Slave. Slavery is bad, but dating Gwyneth is even a worse experience.-
Maleficent (2014)
The only Dreaming Beauty is Jolie
.-Or as I called, why Women are still searching for a blood princes, when they could have sex toys.-
After 12 years of Slave my second Review
Once upon a time there was a good and friendly fairy called Jennifer Malefiston. But one day she was betrayed by an ugly and UN charming Brad Pitt, who also cut her wings, dump her, married a more suitable wife and had a daughter.
So Malefiston, decide to take revenge, first makes a sex toy from a crow, and the curse Ugly Pitt newborn daughter Aurora.
She is adopted to defy the course, by 3 fairies who looks more like the dumb 3 Stygian witches from Clash of the Titans, than Perrault Saviour fairy.
The fairies aren't respected on films. In Disney's Cinderella (1950) and Sleeping Beauty (1959), as Peu d'Ane (1970) and The Slipper and the Rose (1976) are goofy, but in this adaptation the stupidity is in a new level.
In fact is Maleficent who is the one that raised the girl. Finally Maleficent regrets her curse, but still kills the King. And Aurora receive an important lesson, her husband should be a hot but dumb sex toy, without any ambitions.-
Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, isn't credible when she tries to portray the good fairy, but excellent, magnetic and scene stealer when she is doing villainies.-
Jolie also benefited of the study of all Pitt Exes, she has the cold evil bitchiness of Paltrow, the weirdness of Lewis, the slutty of Robin Givens and the big horns of Jen Aniston.
Also add that autobiographical elements like in the first draw of the story, Stephen was her half brother, Maleficent practices Zoofilia and lesbianism and her guilty pleasure are chains. Also she looks hot in leather. To sum up the camera just loves her and rocks in the role.
With Jolie, also steal scenes as her zoophytic sex toy, Sam Riley. The rest unfortunately not good. Coplay is just too Grey and unattractive Elle Fanning dumb and lesser attractive than Martha Bush in Neglige.-
All the time I questioned about why she was cast as Aurora and not a more beauty and hot actress like Margot Robbie or Emily Browning, or even Juno Temple is a better option for Aurora.-
And then I realized that Angelina Jolie is the producer. She even order to change her younger version (India Eisley x Ella Prunell) for being too attractive.-
Because in this film the only dreaming beauty here is Jolie, the rest snore
La seconda moglie (1998)
A sexy Cuccinota
After Il Postino la Cucinota made other important movie El Día de la Bestia. But after it, except for a brief role in a James Bond Flick, she hadn't had the luck of past beauties like Cardinale, Loren, Lollo, Lissi or Vitti. She even was overshadowed in the media by Monica Belluci.-
Still I prefer la Cuccinota to la Belluci.-
The subject of this film, isn't new on the Italian cinema. A young second wife have sex with his husband young son.
So I suppose that was the reason that this film isn't famous.
Unlike other Italian beauties, la Cuccinota is full dressed in all the movies. Still she her voluptuous figure and talent makes this film erotic.
She looks sexy in very long nightdresses.-
The movies benefited also by a beautiful cinematography, beautiful places and strong performances specially of Lazar Litovski as the husband.-
Tirante el Blanco (2006)
Aranda do it again!!!
Tirant le Blanc was the popular "novel" of Joanot Martorell (1413- 1468), started a couple of years after Constantinople downfall in 1460, and published after his death in 1490. Martorell was on the service of the Kingdom of Aragon, and he traveled around England, Naples and Portugal.- The novel is on a parallel world, where Constantinople still Christian, and is vaguely based on the life of Roger de Flor (1267-1305)a German gentleman of obscures origins, at the service of the Aragon Crown and Catalonian Company, that stopped Muslim advance over Constantinople for 150 years.-
The novel is satirical and influence later the much more famous Don Quixote de la Mancha.-
Concerns more about the sexual advances of Tirant and his friends over Byzantium Empire High noble ladies, specially Princess Carmasina, the Emperor's daughter and object of affection of Tirant.
After the death of the male princes, the Constantinople Emperor (Giancarlo Giannini) accept foreign warriors (Tirant and his friends) for the defense of the Byzantium Empire. He also receives the marriage proposal of the Great Turk, of marrying the sultan with the emperor's only daughter Carmesina (Esther Nubiola).
But the Empire is in decadence ruled by anachronism laws and by two ladies the Placid Widow (a fantastic Victoria Abril) who supports Carmesina marriage with the Turk and Pleasure (Leonor Watling in her finest role) that support instead Carmesina with Tirant marriage.
Poor and virtuoso Princess Carmesina suffer the intrigue of pleasure and guilty of these two ladies.
But Tirant isn't as sex god, and failed in every sex assault, suffering more injuries in love than in battle, unlike his friends Diafebus (Charlie Cox) with lady Estefania (a wonderful Ingrid Rubio) and the even younger Hipolito (Sid Mitchell) with the Empress herself (a still sexy Jane Asher).-
So the story centers more in bedtime stories than in battles. Aranda shows again a lot of sensual flesh, and sumptuous dresses, the movie is funny and have sensual and erotic's scenes, while the ladies are great like most of the Aranda's film but unfortunately failed miserably in the battles and specially in the leading man the totally unknown Casper Zafer. Gianinni is also underused-
The movie itself was a big flop in Spain. The money came from a co-fund with England. Because of that half of the cast is English and the other Spanish.
Should be a better and more successful if the movie had at least Viggo Mortenssen in the leading role. Or at least a more charismatic and more household English actor. Even Charlie Cox, could be a more interesting Tirant
Borgia (2011)
Much better than Showtime
Jeremy Irons has the talent and the voice, but he is not Alexander VI. He doesn't look like Rodrigo Borja.- Showtime has success in the suntous technical aspects, the Jordan direction, and a great Cesar Borgia by Francois Arnaud.-
This one has a much better script, more historically accurate (even there some huge historical mistakes) and better actors in the supporting roles.-
Specially great are the ladies Vanossa, Julia and Lucrezia
I love all the intrigues between the cardinals, and the roman families.- People complain about the languages. but real life Rodrigo Borgia probably sound exactly like Pope Francis, speaking an intelligible Italian.
Any way all the actors looks much more the historical figures, than in the show time miniseries. And this is another point in favor.
There are good reasons why this TV was renewed and the Irons was canceled.-
Las eróticas vacaciones de Stela (1978)
Funny and very erotic movie
I found this gem on you tube. Until now I've only seen Italian sexy commedies. But after this, well I will search about these commedies in an age called El Destape Español.- This is a funny movie about a teenager who defy her mother and her new lovers on Christmas Holiday. Also she seduces a young seminarian. The first half there is very few nude scenes of the girl, but in the second half she is naked all the time.
Not great, but intelligent comedy according to today standards. The lead is truly beautiful, has a nice body and can act.-
The mother and specially the maid also are naked.-
