AN EDUCATION
Watchable second time round. Of course when you remember the plot nothing can surprise you but I still enjoyed the faux-posh English accent and the education versus ignoration clash.
WOJNA ZENSKO-MESKA (FEMALE-MALE WAR)
Recommended. It's Polish so I doubt it will ever be shown abroad. Still it is the best sex com since "Sexmission". A laugh-out-loud funny satire on relations between men and women, job market ("Education?" "University degree" "So how am I to know you can do cleaning?"), corporate culture, fashion, agism (make-up artists about a 41-year-old presenter: "Next they're going to make us mummify bodies"), mass media and politics. Visually - Warsaw has never looked so glossy while the protagonist's ponderings stylistically remind "Grindhouse", just without blood and violence. Music's great too. A feast to the eye and the ear.
REMEMBER ME
Walked out. You don't need to go to the cinema to see Robert Pattinson getting wasted -he's all over tabloids already. And the plot with a pretty girl making love to the alcoholic is hardly plausible. So, having made sure my companion was as bored as I was, I walked out. We weren't the first to leave either.
The Valentine Movie Marathon didn't sell well. Not enough couples in a central location on a Friday night. Weird.
