STAR PROFILE

july 2008: I thought of creating a secction where an actor is profiled so that we get to know them and expand our knowledge of latino actors and movies we might not know about. By profiling the actor, we can discuss their roles, movies or even facts about the movies they are in at the same time we expand our knowledge of films that otherwise we might never read about. I started with Barbara Mori.

Comment by mercurio3 on July 22, 2008 at 11:58am: Welcome bming5 to the group! I thought i was the only one who like watching english films either dubed to spanish or subtitle. I have this thing where I check if the translation is the same (nerd I know). I often find that it all depends how is translated and for whom. If is for a latin american audience usually is dubbed with the Mexican accent spanish. If is for the European spanish speaking they use Spaniards and the words and cultural references are way different.
Well I hope you can all contribute to the group. If you find any of the current topics boring, feel free to add your own at any time. =)

Comment by mercurio3 on July 19, 2008 at 3:12pm: Welcome To everyone! There hasn't been much activity I know. And perhaps we suffer from ONLINE A.D.D., but I hope we can pick up our group. If anyone has any suggestions, ideas or hot topics, please feel free to add anything.

Comment by bming5 on July 6, 2008 at 10:58pm: I was glad to find this. I am a native Spanish speaker, and I am also a Spanish teacher. I really enjoy showing Cantinflas movies to my students. Now that there are subtitles, the beginners have some chance of checking into these wonderful movies. I also love to watch DVDs where I can listen in English and read the Spanish subtitles, just to keep pumping up my Spanish literacy and cultural lingo. I recently watched Ratatouille ), and was disappointed to see that there were no Spanish subtitles. Maybe our humble group can start a motion to expand Netflix's outreach to Spanish speakers.

Comment by Movie Mami on June 18, 2008 at 8:24pm: I don't know how much I can contribute to this group, but I love all things Latin American and was a Spanish teacher before I had children and became a stay at home mom...I would love to be in a group that could keep me up on Latino films I could be watching!!
