The Orphanage (2007)

Here is a movie that I have never heard of, and that I thought was directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Fact: It was not directed by him, but by a dude named Juan Antonio Bayona. I liked this movie just okay and didn't really think it was that sad, contrary to popular belief. The deal is that this movie is of the science fiction drama. A lady loses her son who maybe has imaginary friends. Weird supernatural things happen, and also HIV/AIDS is important to the plot. Oh yeah, the lady's house was an old orphanage, and it's probably haunted by the trauma of past orphans. I guess watch this movie if you want. The protagonist is a pretty awesome lady [Belen Rueda], and she's easy on the eyes [not to be patriarchal or anything].

Sin Nombre (2009)

This movie was way more disturbing than I thought it would be. Also, it was just plain good. The main plot is that Willy is in a terrible gang and some shit goes down and he has to flee. Meanwhile, Sayra [the woman above] wants to immigrate to the US and has to make the trek through Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. This movie reminds you that everything is terrible, including the fact that the ultimate destination of Sayra's immigration is New Jersey.
