Broken Embraces / Los abrazos rotos (2009)
Drama | Romance | Thriller
A man writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he not only lost his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life. This man used two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, stories and scripts, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signed the films he directed. After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. If he can't direct films he can only survive with the idea that Mateo Blanco died on Lanzarote with his beloved Lena. In the present day, Harry Caine lives thanks to the scripts he writes and to the help he gets from his faithful former production manager, Judit García, and from Diego, her son, his secretary, typist and guide. Since he decided to live and tell stories, Harry is an active, attractive blind man who has developed all his other senses in order to enjoy life, on a basis of irony and self-induced amnesia. He has erased from his biography any trace of his first identity, Mateo Blanco. One night Diego has an accident and Harry takes care of him (his mother, Judit, is out of Madrid and they decide not to tell her anything so as not to alarm her). During the first nights of his convalescence, Diego asks him about the time when he answered to the name of Mateo Blanco, after a moment of astonishment Harry can't refuse and he tells Diego what happened fourteen years before with the idea of entertaining him, just as a father tells his little child a story so that he'll fall asleep. The story of Mateo, Lena, Judit and Ernesto Martel is a story of amour fou, dominated by fatality, jealously, the abuse of power, treachery and a guilt complex. A moving and terrible story, the most expressive image of which is the photo of two lovers embracing, torn into a thousand pieces.

Born Bad (2011)
Drama | Thriller
The boyfriend from hell here is played by Michael Welch of the Twilight movies, a fact the promotion for this film makes a big deal out of. Even as someone who has seen all of the Twilight movies, I had to visit IMDB to figure out just who the heck Welch played in those films. Turns out he’s one of Bella’s non-vampire/underwearwolf high school buds, the guy in the varsity jacket usually standing next to Nikki Reed in the two or three scenes they appear in per film, usually only getting about that many lines of dialogue as well. Now it’s Welch’s chance to sparkle, and I must say he makes the most of it, though he does come across as more of a hateful punk you just want to see get his ass stomped real good than a terrifying psychopath. He’s like the ultimate frat boy douchebag taken to its logical extreme.

It's been three years since Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his crew – fronted by detail man Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), up-and-coming pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon), explosives expert Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle) and safecracker Frank Catton (Bernie Mac) – pulled off one of the most audacious and lucrative heists in history, robbing ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) of every dime stored in his impenetrable Las Vegas vault. After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life…but that's proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny's wife Tess (Julia Roberts). When someone breaks Rule Number One and rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He wants his $160 million back – with interest – or else. And, as the gang quickly discovers, Benedict isn't the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean's Eleven…
