Very best movie i ever watch

It is a performances centric movie

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

CURSE OF THE WEEPING WOMAN: J-OK'EL is a dreadful indie horror flick from Mexico. The only cast member you'll recognise is a cameoing Dee Wallace. The story once again chronicles the sinister legend of La Llorona, a subject matter that has been doing the business for at least 60 years in south of the border cinema, but it plays out in the most boring way imaginable here. This road movie is all chat, no horror, featuring non-actors discussing local legends instead of any attempt to show them. The director does nothing more than waste the time of his viewers.

Besides a really, truly, awesomely disturbing DVD cover, this Mexican production is about as scary as looking at Rosie O'Donnell naked - hang on, that's terrifying! - about as scary as looking at your tax returns in George W. Bush's last year in office.In J-OK'EL, a guy who can't stop looking like Tom Cruise (Tom Parker - no relation to the guy who spanked Elvis) travels to the Mexico backwoods (I think that's just another term for any city in Mexico) to search for his missing sister, believed to have been abducted by J-OK'el, the ghostly Weeping Woman, whom legend says drowned her own children and returns to drown more whenever there's an indie script optioned.When Mini-Cruise gets to Mexico, he first finds that everyone there is Mexican and doesn't speak English, which shouldn't surprise him as he came from a place where everyone is Mexican and doesn't speak English - California.Then he finds his mother is crazier than the legendary Weeping Woman. Again, no surprise - it's Dee Wallace, who, after becoming famous as "Elliot's mom" in Spielberg's E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982), somehow made it a point to only act in movies no one would ever see.Tom searches vainly for his sister, and as the tension mounted, I fell asleep.The filmmakers try sincerely for some eerie high points, and to give credit where it's due, J-OK'EL won the Gold Medal for Excellence in the "Best Impact of Music in a Feature Film" category; also, crazy J-OK'el lady (Diana Bracho) has won and been nominated for many awards.All that being said, bad acting, no acting, insipid acting and some jaw-dropping in-camera special effects make J-OK'EL nigh unwatchable - if you can stay awake long enough to watch it.--Review by Poffy the Cucumber (for Poffy's Movie Mania).

I watched this movie mainly due to the location: I'm currently living in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas (Southwest of Mexico), and I was curious about seeing the town on screen. I didn't expect a great film, as I thought it'd be an average commercial product. What a mistake.It is much worse than what the 4.7 rating could make you think. Acting, plot, cinematography, dialogues, are all totally lame, and there is nothing -nothing- to like in the whole movie. Not a single minute. There is nothing scary or exciting, not even interesting. It is really hard for me to believe that the movie actually made it to cinema screens.Definitely, one of the worst and most boring films I've seen in years.

I've been eager to write a review on this site for a while, I even registered a while ago but never wrote anything...but damn! I have to warn you all about this movie.It's a hellish idiocy fest, the last time I saw a movie with flawed illumination I was like 10 and it was a black & white film. Anyway, the film is about "la llorona" a woman who killed her kids and then drowned herself in the river...the actual legend is really scary, but this movie just makes you laugh with the plot-holes, the bad acting and the general scheme of the movie.I gave it two starts because the American guy knows how to act and how to convince the public, the rest of the film is just utter garbage ready to receive the vomit of the masses.A huge stinker if you ask me!!
