El Espirito


After watching The Spirit last night, I realized movies are getting more and more interesting. The storyline was typical but the acting was different. It was comical yes but there's something about this movie that made it unique. Maybe it was because the masterminds behind this movie were the same ones who directed/produced 300 & Sin City.

Anyways, the movie starred Eva Mendes...oh yea Eva Mendes. Just found out she is Cuban! She goes on my Top 5 list of Cubans, which includes Gloria Estefan :). Mendes plays Sand Saref, an interesting character who went "psycho" when her dad was accidentally killed. She's obsessed with material things, especially diamonds and all that nonsense. I won't ruin it for you, but at the end she finds happiness.

The movie was great, just have an open mind and never assume anything.

After reading so many bad reviews of The Spirit, your own review certainly helped me see it differently. Maybe Eva Mendes wasn't the only silver lining in this pelicula after all?
