For nearly a year, Consuelo has been obsessed with a man who visits her in her dreams â€" a blue prince who does not exist, according to her friends. Richard has been suffering from nightmares in which a young attractive woman seduces him and then tries to kill him. He swears he doesn’t know her. Slowly the dream-like world invades reality and both end up face to face, separated only by mirrored glass in a police station. What happens next will blow your mind.LA MUJER DE MI HERMANO - DVD MovieBase! d on the novel by Jaime Bayly,
La Mujer de Mi Hermano is as juicy and melodramatic as a television soap opera. Director Ricardo de Montreuil opens the film depicting the dull marriage between young, gorgeous Zoe (Barbara Mori) and wealthy entrepreneur, Ignacio (Christian Meier). Their modernist home and glamorous lifestyle appeals to the sensibility of their hip Mexico City friends, but their non-existent sex life forces Zoe to seek friendship in Ignacio's poor, artistic brother, Gonzalo (Manolo Cardona). As Gonzalo and Zoe grow closer, Ignacio, enraged by jealousy, tries in vain to cover up his latent homosexuality, which is the root of his marital problems. When Ignacio discovers that Zoe is pregnant as a result of her infidelity, they all call a truce: Ignacio agrees to father the child, Gonzalo agrees to stay away from Zoe, and Zoe agrees to allow Ignacio to sleep with men. Far from realistic,
La Mujer de Mi Hermano's shallow characters' sexual escapades! are the only interesting aspect of the film. The movie's sens! ationali stic glimpse into a wealthy Mexican family's business, at its best, harkens back to the inherent decadence of
Dangerous Liasons or any other story about a love triangle between family members. With clean, crisp cinematography, this modern rendition of a strict taboo provides temporary entertainment but lacks sustenance.--

Hot, sexy, exotic, and wild are the only words to describe this "lovers-on-the-lam blast of pure pulp escapism." (The New York Times) Indian superstar Hrithic Roshan stars as J, a Las Vegas hustler engaged to the daughter of t! he city's most powerful and dangerous casino owner. But all be! ts are o ff when he falls in love with the ravishing Natasha (Barbara Mori), an illegal immigrant engaged to J's jealous and violent future brother-in-law. When their illicit romance is discovered, J and Natasha flee for the border with the police and relentless hired killers on their trail. Pulse-pounding action and sensational musical numbers propel this passionate love story to its stunning conclusion. This special edition contains the "deliriously entertaining" (Variety) full-length version that became the first Bollywood movie to make the American box office Top Ten, and Kites: The Remix, the edgier and sexier English language version produced by director Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, X-Men: The Last Stand).A story that once would have been set in Paris or Vienna now occurs in Las Vegas, where ne'er-do-wells and courtesans have become mobsters and hustlers.
Kites follows J, played by handsome Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan, a lowlife with smooth dance moves who marries gre! en-card-seeking immigrants for cash. He thinks he's hit the jackpot when the daughter of a wealthy mobster falls in love with him--but when he sees Linda (played by delectable Uruguayan actress Barbara Mori), the fiancée of the mobster's son, J falls in love and discovers that he'll risk anything for her… and risk he will! J and Linda end up on the run, robbing banks, fleeing by car, train, and hot-air balloon with the mob and police on their trail.
Kites is a staggering compendium of over-the-top clichés and preposterous romanticism; only a Bollywood movie--even one in English, Spanish, and Hindi--could get away with this kind of straight-faced absurdity. From the '80s dance-off to the operatic tragic conclusion,
Kites is both ridiculous and ridiculously entertaining, like
Titanic,
Badlands, and
Moulin Rouge thrown in a blender, with a time-bending narrative that cunningly teases out a new twist every time you think you know everythin! g. Roshan and Mori are genetic marvels, blessed with astoundin! g physiq ues and piercing hazel eyes. Silly, sexy, and compulsively watchable.
