Léon

Mentioning Natalie Portman reminds me a very good movie I saw some weeks ago - shame on me for being so late!!!

Definitely worth watch it!

In 1994, when "the diva" was only 13/14 years old, "Léon" came out and Portman was already proving how good she is. As a matter of fact, Jean Reno, who played Léon, is also very good in this movie. Luc Besson not only directed it, as he also wrote it.

I just want to mention that he also wrote movies such as "Kiss of the Dragon", "The Fifth Element" and "Danny the Dong", among many others.

2046

Undoubtedly, worth watch it!!!
It resembles "Lust, Caution" from Ang Lee. I have to admit I prefer "Lust, Caution" with no doubts at all, but this one from Kar Wai Wong is also good.

I have been appreciating Asian movies for a long time, because of the relaxing feeling they transmit. I have watched only two movies from him, but I have to say "2046" is better than "My Blueberry Nights", disregarding, of course, my muse Natalie Portman and all the other actors. Apparently - and as I already knew for sure -, we cannot judge movies by their original country.

Try something different next time and maybe you will be surprised...
