VHS Movie Reviews of Like Water for Chocolate [VHS]
Movie Review: Like Water For Chocolate
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW! I could not believe he died. He had to wait for her for a long time. She had to die with him. Romantic movie. Movie Review: Watch What You Eat- Please
Summary: 3 Stars
Apparently once you get on the topic of food there is no end to commentary on the subject. Recently I reviewed the food-centered "Julie and Julia" about the marathon efforts of a modern day blogger to race through and prepare every recipe in the famous Child's cook book. Now we have this little precursor, a little Mexican import that has the mysteries, portents and usages of food, if not as the central plot then as an important prop in the narration of the story.
And that story? A tale straight out of the "magical realism" trend that is still, mainly, in vogue these days in novelistic treatments. In short, a tale of love, longing for love, love thwarted, love twisted, conventional family life Mexican style gone awry, old time views on the place of women and children in the nuclear family structure and all glue together by...endless scenes of the preparation of this and that in the ever present kitchen. A nice sent-up of a film and a cautionary tale or two to make one think. As I pointed out in the Child's review though, I hope I do not have to revive that old feudal tradition of having someone taste my food before I eat it.
Movie Review: My Favorite Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a big fan of movies in Spanish and this is my favorite of all. It's sensual, romantic, and magical. For people who speak Spanish as a second langauge, the language is easier than most films, so is a good way to practice your Spanish listening skills( first play it with sub-titles on. Then, watch it a second time with them off). It made me seek about chiles en nogada and they are delicious!Movie Review: defective DVDs - beware
Summary: 1 Stars
This DVD that Amazon is selling is defective. It won't play past the intro and just freezes in place. I had them replace the 1st one and the 2nd did the exact same thing, My guess is that they have aa defective lot. Amazon really needs to clean this up before they sell any more.Movie Review: all around great!
Summary: 5 Stars
the delivery was speedy and on time the product was exactly what i asked for. I love this movie.. if u enjoy romance then this is the movie for you all in all im very pleased with everything!
Summary of Like Water for Chocolate [VHS]
Based on the best-selling book -- now experience for yourself the erotic tale of forbidden love that seduced both critics and audiences nationwide! Tita and Pedro are passionately in love. But their love is forbidden by an ancient family tradition. To be near Tita, Pedro marries her sister. And Tita, as the family cook, expresses her passion for Pedro through preparing delectable dishes. Now, in Tita's kitchen, ordinary spices become a recipe for passion. Her creations bring on tears of longing, heated desire, or chronic pain -- while Tita and Pedro wait for the moment to fulfill their most hidden pleasures!Expect to be very hungry (and perhaps amorous) after watching this contemporary classic in the small genre of food movies that includes Babette's Feast and Big Night. Director Alfonso Arau (A Walk in the Clouds), adapting a novel by his former wife, Laura Esquivel, tells the story of a young woman (Lumi Cavazos) who learns to suppress her passions under the eye of a stern mother, but channels them into her cooking. The result is a steady stream of cuisine so delicious as to be an almost erotic experience for those lucky enough to have a bite. The film's quotient of magic realism feels a little stock, but the story line is good and Arau's affinity for the sensuality of food (and of nature) is sublime. You might want to rush off to a good Mexican restaurant afterward, but that's a good thing. --Tom Keogh
