NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE NIGHT OF THE BEST MOVIES OF 2012

SKYFALL

Watchable. Finally a Bond with a plot. I loved the special effects like the hotel wall in Shanghai or the Tube train disaster in London. The ending looks like dedicated to pyromaniacs though, which I'm not.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Watchable. Very slow and lenghthy - only the Catwoman enlivens it.

INTOUCHABLES

Watchable for the second time. I loved it the first time round and still enjoyed a repetition of this feel-good movie.

JESTES BOGIEM (YOU ARE GOD)

Watchable. I'm really not into hip-hop. The only thing that kept me watching was morbid curiosity of what the lowlives would become.

THE NIGHT OF CINEMA

A perfectly organized film event on state-of-the-art Multikino screens. I picked the following 3 movies:

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING

Watchable. Star-studded light entertainment but not laugh-out-loud funny.

WEEKEND

Watchable. People were leaving in droves. Am I the only one who finds man on man action hot? (It included hottie Chris New.) If you ignore the constant  gay coming out chatter, what stays is a beautiful film about beginnings of love.

PROMETHEUS 3D

Recommended. Space opera like from my childhood. Quite good 3D which made it so convincing that when Charlie's eyes turned red mine started watering and from the moment Shaw had a cesarean, I was gripped in tommy pain till I went to sleep in my own bed. Old good Giger's scenography and plenty of references to other films (fast-developing foetus like in "Twilight", "Alien" born, artificial intelligence taking over control of the starship like in "Space Odyssey" etc.). I loved the beginning as I recognised one of my fave holiday spots.


Why do guys always first chat me up and then suddenly disappear after a couple of minutes? Even at the cinema...
