Yesterday we watched the extended edition of James Mangold's excellent movie "Walk The Line", a biopic about one of my greatest heroes, Johnny Cash. It was a really gripping movie, especially now that I'm spending most of my listening time with JC ( Read more... )

Today, Jinx surprised me with a very kind and generous gesture: he offered me and Ági two complementary tickets to a pre-premiere screening of Hellboy II. - The Golden Army.

As much as I appreciated this gesture, and as much as I awaited the movie (I'm deeply in love with the comics, and I quite liked the first movie in a way), it was the biggest ( Read more... )

We have just watched the movie "Perfume". Don't watch it until you want to see at least an hour of bullshit disguised as a fairytale, with a somewhat primitive - if any - conclusion, plus a mildly autistic young man who flares his nostrils every three minutes with Galadriel singing Ennio Morricone in the background.

Yesterday we went out to see "The Zodiac". Well, the only nice point of that evening was that we spent it together.

It's been the second time in my life that I've seen Caspar Noé's Irréversible. Ági saw it for the first time. When it was over, the first thing she said was that she wished she'd never seen this movie. I could only say that I wished I hadn't, either. Ever.

Yes, okay, I'm gone - totally consumed up between work and dreaming of glory. So let's see my last week, just so that I won't forget:

- Friday last week I bought my laptop computer: a Lenovo 3000 N100 (TY0BNHL) model.
- I managed to get (with Atilla's appreciated help) and install Windows Vista Ultimate on it (unfortunately only the 32 bit version ( Read more... )

"The Prestige" is a brilliant, entertaining and gripping movie, I recommend it to every one of you, regardless of preferred genre. Christopher Nolan (director of "Memento") made a work that finally does surprise you at the end. In the age when every movie aims at your gasping for air out of shock at the end, it is really a commendable achievement.

Today, we watched the Borat movie with Ági, Jinx, Katta, Dya, Viktorka and Kagero. In addition to the great time we had by finally having our friends over, the movie itself was fantastic! After three years of being a fan, I still firmly believe that Sacha Baron Cohen is the most intelligent - and much more than entertaining - living comedian today.
