The Top Ten Mexican Movies in Hola Mexico 2015

José Alberto Hermosillo

Hola Mexico Film Festival 2015 had a big Fiesta in Los Angeles a few days ago and left us with a great impression - The audience, the press, the sponsors, and the talent were happy about the cinematic celebration. 

 All the shows started on time, and most of the directors were present for the Q&As, the red carpets, and the after-parties were great.

The films were surprisingly good, and the LA LIVE Regal was a pleasant venue. 

Hola Mexico, in nine days, showcased 22 quality films from South of the Border with a record attendance of 25,000 moviegoers - Some movies like “Gloria,” “La dictadura perfecta/The Perfect Dictatorship,” and “El Americano” were completely sold out.

Samuel Douek, founder and programmer of Hola, did a fine job creating enough buzz to consider the Mexican cinematic fiesta as one of the best film festivals in Los Angeles.

Hola Mexico will continue to grow with the number of films, fans, events, and sponsors in the future. The Mexican festival will continue enriching itself by subtitling all English films. Before the festival, press screenings could spread the word to audiences and US distributors, busting the opportunity for Mexican films to hit movie theaters in the US sooner.

Many films presented in Hola won prizes at festivals around the world, including “Club Sandwich,” “Las horas contigo,” “Mexico Bárbaro,” and “La dictadura perfect,” among others. 

With mariachi, tequila, concerts, and special events, the 2015 edition of Hola Mexico has been the best.

    You can watch movies at your convenience, knowing your next film will arrive when you send it back. Or if you decide you don't want to watch a movie, you can easily delete it. If you'd like to move a film up in the list so it arrives sooner, that's easy to do as well. altadefinizione

    The first was one of the better portrayals of Sherlock I had seen. Rather than being portrayed as a snooty, 'proper' and sophisticated Englishman, he was shown with all the rough edges that Doyle wrote him with. solarmovie

    On the face of it, an average film is 700Mb in size and should therefore take approximately 45 minutes to download based on a 2Mb download speed or less than 5 minutes with a faster connection of 20-24Mb. دانلود سریال

    Did you realize that we are working longer hours than our folks back then? A youthful grown-up presumably would be occupied with building his/her vocation generally of the week.

    Numerous individuals actually consider film watching an incredible method of unwinding and making some great memories. In the event that you are one of those individuals who appreciate watching films and do so every time you get an opportunity, you most likely definitely realize that the days when you held up in line at the video store just to track down that the film you needed to see was not on stock are finished.
