I'm still copying and putting in order my notes to finally post about the long overdue movies. Some chronology problems.

NIGHT FILM MARATHON - (NOC BATMANA) THE NIGHT OF BATMAN

After so many years, including some before I started blogging, I couldn't remember which of several Batman movies I had seen and which I hadn't so, to make sure I miss nothing, I skipped only the two I had seen and blogged about before: "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "The Dark Knight Rises" and saw the two I wasn't sure about:

BATMAN BEGINS

Watchable. Great music. Too long and feels protracted. Michael Caine is fantastic as a butler.

THE DARK KNIGHT

Watchable. Great music. Doesn't feel protracted thanks to a better storyline but still too long. Joker is superb - both Heath Ledgers acting and the script. His genius yet psychopathic thinking makes the movie.


SZABADESES (FREEFALL)

Recommended. These stories are so extraordinary you can see them again with interest and pleasure. Brazilian DJ Amon Tobin made the accompanying music which is both intrinsically brilliant and a perfect match for the very film.

ARGENTINA, ARGENTINA

Recommended. Beautiful, superbly composed music-wise and background-wise. I'd love to get immersed in the show again.

CORKI DANCINGU (THE LURE)

Watchable. The first Polish mermaid movie. The mermaids are predatory creatures, surgery doesn't exclude magic, they're very down-to-earth. I loved the joke about their language skills: "Where did you learn Polish so well?" "On the beach in Bulgaria." At the same time I hated the filth and vulgarity of the dialogues. It's a musical with stupid songs with obscene lyrics. The costumes are good though.

EJDEHA VARED MISHAVAD (A DRAGON ARRIVES!)

Watchable. Great music and acting. Mystery but unfortunately also some drowsiness.
