Almodovar have made it again. "Bad Education" is arguably his best movie ever. After All About My Mother and Talk To Her, if Bad Education was the final part of a trilogy about human shame, it would be the best trilogy ever.

Some people who have read the plot summary will think this movie is an attack on Catholic church and Pedophilia, but its nothing like that. Its just a simple story apparently based in part on Almodovars life. Not autobiographical, I'm sure, but still a nice story.

Its hard to debate plot details without giving it away, but I can tell you you're up for a great thrill, with plot twists and surprise after surprise.

Gael Garcia Bernal have finally silenced his critics and clear all doubt; despite the fact he is not Spanish (rather Mexican), looks like Almodovar have finally found a replacement for Antonio Banderas. Bernal is a great actor, and only 26. Beware Johnny Depp.

And is it just me or Bernal in a drag looks like a young Julia Roberts?

`Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex' is a landmark, and of course a great exercise in comedy. Dividing the movie in 7 different segments (with some not including himself in the leading role) was the best Woody Allen could do, and this movie works better than his previous attempt (Bananas) and his posterior `Sleeper'.

In a way, it's less ambitious and targets all audiences. All short films are hilarious, in a crescent order. My favorite is the last, which satirizes the humanly body functions during intercourse. A must see, for all generations of movie likers. Rate: 5/5

When you expect this much from a movie, you get disappointed. There's nothing seriously wrong with `BASEketball' (the blind kid, the drinking session before the operation, the SF team…) but you have to expect more from the creators of South Park and the director of `Airplaine!' and `Naked Gun' movies. This is an ambitious project, and it falls flat at being ambitious. Perhaps Trey Parker and Matt Stone should have kept faithful at the formula used in `Orgazmo': simplicity and sheer mockery. The plot: two losers enroll in a new sport that combines Baseball and Basketball (hence the title) and make it to the big leagues, and are seen as the ultimate sport heroes in a world where money and greed are in charge. Joe Cooper (Trey Parker) and Doug Remer (Matt Stone) are owners of that sport's most successful team, and have to fight against the evil in tempts of tycoon Baxter Cain (Robert Vaughn). Meanwhile Cooper falls for social assistant (?) Jenna Reed (Yasmine Bleeth). Meanwhile Cain manages to corrupt Remer and Cooper is on his own to keep the sport genuine.

Overall, it's not without his charm; there are some funny scenes, and famous faces roll up every time (which makes one wonder how some movie makers have so many friends and others don't) but the final result leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.
