Título: Little Manhattan
Categoría: Comedia
Director: Mark Levin
Año/País de producción: 2005/E.U.A.
Elenco: Josh Hutcherson, Charlie Ray, Cynthia Nixon, Bradley Whitford.
Sinopsis: En la enorme Manhattan, Gabe es un niño común y corriente: atiende la escuela primaria, le gusta practicar deportes y jugar con sus amigos, y lo más importante, no admite a niñas en su vida. Pero todo cambia cuando, gracias a una clase de karate que decide tomar, Rosemary comienza a llamar su atención cada vez con más fuerza, y aunque la ha conocido desde hace varios años, jamás había imaginado que llegaría a llenar de tal manera su cabeza. Gabe comienza a experimentar lo que es querer estar con alguien, sentir la necesidad de hacerlo, lo cual vuelve todo el mundo muy confuso para sólo un niño, cuyo mayor problema será aprender a lidiar con un corazón roto.
Crítica: Las comedias románticas no son, por lo regular, sobresalientes, y las veo sólo para pasar el rato. Pero debo decir que cuando vi ésta quedé cautivado, impresionado por la precisión con que se narra ese salto hacia el querer. Uno no puede sino sentir todo lo que el protagonista siente, identificándose con esas épocas confusas e incómodas en nuestra infancia. Aunque la película no alcance ningún grado de genialidad en sus aspectos, la recomiendo ampliamente por el valor sentimental, el cual estoy seguro que muchos encontrarán como lo hice yo.

Título: How To Save A Life
Artista: The Fray
Álbum/Fecha de lanzamiento: How To Save A Life (2005)
Esta canción es una de ésas que al escucharla automáticamente te gusta, pues la voz es agradable y el ritmo pegajoso. Pero al profundizar en la letra nos damos cuenta del peso que tiene. The Fray siempre logra encontrar un equilibrio entre un buen mensaje y un buen tono, creando música con mucho significado, pero digerible para el público general. Y aquí nos hablan de ese lento proceso en que nos volvemos extraños con los que más queremos, y como las palabras que no decimos nos van formando un nudo cada vez más grande en la garganta.Letra:
Step one, you say "we need to talk",
he walks, you say "sit down, it's just a talk";
he smiles politely back at you,
you stare politely right on through.
Some sort of window to your right
as he goes left and you stay right,
between the lines of fear and blame
you begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
somewhere along in the bitterness,
and I would have stayed up with you all night
had I known how to save a life.
Let him know that you know best
'cause after all you do know best,
try to slip past his defense
without granting innocence.
Lay down a list of what is wrong,
the things you've told him all along
and pray to God he hears you...
And pray to God he hears you.
As he begins to raise his voice
you lower yours and grant him one last choice,
drive until you lose the road
or break with the ones you've followed.
He will do one of two things:
he will admit to everything,
or he'll say he's just not the same.
And you'll begin to wonder why you came.
he walks, you say "sit down, it's just a talk";
he smiles politely back at you,
you stare politely right on through.
Some sort of window to your right
as he goes left and you stay right,
between the lines of fear and blame
you begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
somewhere along in the bitterness,
and I would have stayed up with you all night
had I known how to save a life.
Let him know that you know best
'cause after all you do know best,
try to slip past his defense
without granting innocence.
Lay down a list of what is wrong,
the things you've told him all along
and pray to God he hears you...
And pray to God he hears you.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
somewhere along in the bitterness,
and I would have stayed up with you all night
had I known how to save a life.
somewhere along in the bitterness,
and I would have stayed up with you all night
had I known how to save a life.

How to save a life...
How to save a life...
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

How to save a life...
