NAPOLI VELATA (NAPLES IN VEILS)

Recommended. Deeply mysterious, throws you off the trail masterfully. With very sensual bits too, mostly owing to the sex-inspiring Alessandro Borghi - who did not look even remotely hot in "The Place" and was only vaguely attractive in "Dalida". Here he's also outstanding in the whole array of behaviours and emotions. The whole thing is utterly romantic.

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP 3D

Watchable. Decent 3D. Decent lines, e.g. "I always hid there when we played hide-and-seek." "I don't think you really got the gist of the game." Decent Stan Lee's cameo where he sees his car shrink and comments: "The 60s were fun but now I'm paying for this." - the pun referring both to the widespread drug use in the 1960s and to his age (95 now, long live Stan Lee!). Standard superhero action, mostly for teenagers, with protagonists' previous deeds summarised in dialogues. One scene was so touching I shed some tears. The mid-credit announces a sequel and the post-credit is more like just for fun but the final words which appear on the screen twice in a slightly changed form: "Ant-Man and the Wasp will return. Ant-Man and the Wasp will return?" In Poland the translation is very bad. The 3 times I forgot to ignore the subtitles they were way off the original lines.
