!!! ABSOLUTELY MUST SEE !!!
Before The Flood - I think this should be a mandatory viewing for everyone living on (suffocating) this planet.
I know the climate change situation is bad but I didn’t expect it to be this desperately bad.
This is a shocking, disturbing final call. Actions must be taken, and they must be taken now, to lessen, and if possible, turn back the impact of human activity on the planet’s ecology otherwise we’re screwed, big time.
Now, on to much lighter topics.
I (re)watched some of my favourite Tom Cruise movies like Knight And Day Oblivion and Rock Of Ages for at least the tenth time as I felt the need for drooling over him a bit. Probably Rock Of Ages is the best for the purpose as one can immensely drool over born to be a rock star Tom while listening to some good old stadium rock. But he’s steaming hot in Knight And Day and very handsome and very likeable in Obliion so it’s hard to decide. He’s great as always.
The Taming Of The Shrew (2005) – oh so this is part of the rather originally modernised Shakespeare-ReTold series. I don’t normally like modernised adaptations but this one is really great, funny and entertaining, especially thanks to a most marvellous Rufus Sewell playing Petruchio wonderfully.
Bonus: (spoiler!!) drag queen Rufus Sewell. Never thought it would be such a marvellous thing as it is.
Rome Adventure – a nice ‘60s romantic movie that takes you on a Vespa trip through some of Italy’s most beautiful areas. Sights include Verona, Pisa, Florence, Arezzo, Orvieto, Rome, Ostia Antica, and the countryside in between….
American Heart - I caught it on the telly and thought I’d watch it for the second time. It’s certainly worth to see because of the excellent performances. And if someone’s sympathetic to low life people who don’t show much willingness to change their miserable life. I can’t identify with them even the least yet I felt sad and sorry for Jeff Bridges’ good for nothing character. That’s how marvellous he is here. So is Edward Furlong, playing his son. It’s a real shame he got so lost.
Arrival – it starts out quite good but then becomes a pretentious hipster wannabe deep sci-fi movie. I wouldn’t say Amy Adams’ performance was something outstanding because we have seen much much better stuff from her before and the Rattner as a physicist? Even with glasses it’s a bit hard to swallow. After the relatively good building up of the film’s world and “mythology”, when the writers should go into details why things happen the way they do they just come up with a just because kind of answer. Then they throw in a few stupid and completely off the top of the head conflicts like some self-designated Ramboes sabotaging the mission and then finish the movie with an almost twenty minutes soap opera? And even that, a bad one? What remains is just cheap, shallow and disappointing.
Hercules – well I’m certainly not someone to praise Brett Rattner’s attempts at directing a film but this one was actually quite watchable. Though I’m not sure it’s not the mightily gorgeous Messrs. Sewell (with eyeliner!) and McShane who affected my judgement.
Jason Bourne - I don’t know why I watched it. Probably to look at buff Matt Damon. A better question is… why they made it?
Aerosmith, Aero-Vederci Baby Tour, Firenze Rocks, June 2017 – I hope this time there won’t be any natural disaster stopping me from seeing Aerosmith, having been waiting to see them for 10 years now. Sadly it looks like this will be my only chance. Or perhaps not? Old rockers tend to have several farewell tours. Fingers crossed!
